| Inside Letting Go with Lottie Randomly | 21 Apr 2021 | 00:53:49 | |
We can be active and productive and acquire and acquire but if we don’t let go, things get seriously toxic. On all levels. And it’s not something we’re very good at. This is a soulful, sweet meandering conversation in which we cover all kinds of letting go. As well as death, there’s funerals, loss, hope, the menstrual cycle and what that teaches us about letting go, compost, menopause, grieving in covid times… all the best taboo topics. Lottie wears loads of different hats, they're a celebrant, a creator of queer-centred cycle magic, an educator and facilitator, a coach and animist, a walker-between-worlds who’s also worked in mainstream mental health for a long time. I came across them on Instagram where you can find their heartfelt, thoughtful posts at @know.your.cycle
Though they really didn’t want to, I squeezed Lottie till they let out a fabulous top tip too. You can buy me a cuppa here - https://buymeacoffee.com/katecodrington | |||
| Inside Creative Process with Anne Tannam | 14 Apr 2021 | 00:52:27 | |
I am just fascinated by creative process, almost to the point of obsession, because making things whether it’s visual art, textiles or writing is one of the most important things in my life. It makes me VERY happy. I feel like myself. So I was excited when Anne Tannam agreed to do a pod chat because not only is she a fabulous poet, but she also coaches people to harness their own creativity in business, work and life. So she can do it, and, which is fabulous for us, she can tell us how to do it too! Or actually, give us ways of finding out for ourselves. It took Anne 40 years to start writing and I am so glad she did the author of two wonderful poetry collections, with a third ‘Twenty-six Letters of a New Alphabet’ forthcoming from Salmon Poetry later in 2021.
How to square our creativity with financial returns Along with a side helping of Anne’s best tip of a vibrant creative life. And the poetry can be found here I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topics we discuss, you can message me through Instagram or have a look at my website where you'll find a wealth of free resources.

| Inside Sensual Pleasure with Mangala Holland | 07 Apr 2021 | 00:53:43 | |
I was excited to listen in to Mangala Holland’s wisdom because she knows a lot about pleasure and how to support people to find more of it in their lives in a way that is not about looking sexy for other people. No surprises then, that there is some explicit language in this episode. Mangala is a Women’s Empowerment and Sexuality coach, and facilitator. She describes herself as being on a mission to help pussy-owners become empowered through loving themselves fiercely, celebrating their sexuality, and overcoming the fear, guilt and shame that keeps them playing small. What I love is that Mangala has a beautiful no-bullshit, fluff-free, grounded, dogma-free style. In this episode we discuss:
Along with lots more hot stuff and, of course, Mangala’s top tip for increasing pleasure in your life. You can buy me a cuppa here - https://buymeacoffee.com/katecodrington | |||
| Inside Chronic Pain with Leora Leboff | 28 Mar 2021 | 00:50:00 | |
I couldn’t get started with this podcast series without talking to my dear partner in Woman Kind, Leora Leboff. Leora is not only my partner at work but also a very dear friend and an awesome human. I learn so much from being around her. She’s been a therapist for more than a quarter of a century, practising and teaching womb massage, EFT, aromatherapy and Medicine Circles. Mostly focusing on women’s health. One of the most impressive people I know, and you’ll get why when you listen to our intimate, totally up-front conversation. You will be amazed to find that we’re not talking perimenopause or periods, but about the other health challenges that Leora has been facing over the last few years and how she manages chronic pain.

| Inside Identity with Angie Litvinoff | 18 Mar 2021 | 00:54:56 | |
I wanted to have a conversation with Angie Litvinoff because she is an inspired healer. She’s a medicine woman, creator of ceremonies and rites of passage and a mentor who is utterly grounded. Very often people who reach her level of teaching and visibility are full of smoke and mirrors, pretence and ego, but Angie makes finding identity so simple and straight-forward and DO able. This translates into a highly effective transformation program and her Online Calm pack: from anxiety to delivery which helps creatives find their true identity and voice. There is some explicit language in this podcast, so if that’s not your thing, you may prefer to listen to a different episode.
And of course Angie’s clever practice to identify your own route to finding your creative identity. You can buy me a cuppa here - https://buymeacoffee.com/katecodrington | |||
| Inside Body Confidence with Sophie Cleere | 21 Feb 2021 | 00:47:19 | |
This episode features an inspirational facilitator whose favourite thing is to empower women to feel good. The soft and strong, wild and free, fragile and fierce Sophie Cleere. Together we take a no-bullshit look at Sophie’s journey from disconnection to body confidence and the pleasures and heightened sexuality of her perimenopause. There is some explicit language so if that’s not your thing, you may prefer to listen to a different episode. We chat about:

| Inside Prolapse with Jane Dancey | 25 Jan 2021 | 00:50:24 | |
This week is all about the female pelvis and its healing, in which I have an honest chat with Jane Dancey about how she has found her own route to heal her prolapse. She’s a somatic yoga coach and facilitator specialising in women’s well being, especially the pelvis, when it goes wrong as well as exploring the good stuff, like pleasure and sexuality. She shares her journey to find a juicy inner-life through practising and teaching yoga and the low-down on how to heal pelvic disfunction in a respectful and holistic way. Jane shares:
If you are experiencing any menstrual symptoms or pelvic pain that gives you concern, please go and get it checked out with your doctor, GP or specialist. Jane has a helpful breathing practice to explore the relationship between the breathing diaphragm and the pelvic floor here and you can find out more about her Embodied Female Pelvis course here.

| Inside Period Pain with Lisa de Jong | 29 Dec 2020 | 01:01:16 | |
In this episode, I have a fascinating insight into period pain with my colleague, menstruality coach, educator, speaker and facilitator Lisa de Jong. Lisa works in Ireland and helps women understand and work with the cyclical nature of their menstrual cycle for physical and emotional wellbeing. I was so touched that Lisa decided to share her personal journey with period pain, it’s a sweet, tender conversation and you’ll learn loads about how to manage period pain and the utter gems of wisdom that Lisa has gathered over the years.

| Inside Yoga with Catherine Annis | 28 Dec 2020 | 00:49:29 | |
In this episode I have a wonderful conversation with Scaravelli inspired Yoga teacher and trainer Catherine Annis. I’ve been lucky enough to benefit from her classes over lockdown and have found them super-interesting because the focus is on our inside experience, not what the pose looks like. After a class when she was encouraging us to kind-of NOT follow her instructions, I really wanted to talk to her more.

| Trailer for Life - An Inside Job | 28 Dec 2020 | 00:04:27 | |
At Life - An Inside Job I aim to help you nourish your inner world and make it a great place to hang out, so your outer world can become more fun, meaningful and satisfying. I chat with fascinating teachers, creatives, therapists and ordinary people who use their interior experience to change their outer world. You’ll get the inside skinny on healing, how to manage mental and physical pain, how to balance your real-life outer world and make your inner world into the best kind of party. A party even one person can enjoy. Our reality is created on our insides, directly from our mind, beliefs and body sensation but until things go wrong, we barely give our inner life any attention at all Truth is, we can tootle along focussing on trying to get a fancy car and a sexy partner and that’s fine until we meet trauma, illness or the next major life transition, and then the lack inner life starts to show as disconnection and emptiness. If your head is a horrible place to hang out, you'll find out what you can do about it Or, if you’re lucky and your insides are fantastic, how to bring more of that fantasticness into the outer world of relationships and shopping trollies. I have been a personal growth junky since the age of 16, when my sis came back from one of those hard-core 80’s personal growth workshops. Thank god there was an age limit in place or my tender teenage self would have been stuffed! Join me to listen to real, raw, juicy conversations with people who know their inside world; I‘ve got inspirational teachers, healers, and guides to life talking about what works. There are amazing artists talking about the creative process and how to let it flow and real people talking about their real lives and what really going on inside. I can't wait to share their inner worlds with you. You can buy me a cuppa here - https://buymeacoffee.com/katecodrington | |||

Daily Express described me as a "coach, consultant, and guru of all things men" Kenny and I talked about:

| Inside purpose with Fiona Buckland | 18 Apr 2023 | 00:58:12 | |
The topic of purpose is enormously charged, we feel beset by inner critics, doubts, and overwhelm. Thank heavens for Fiona Buckland’s book Find your own path: how to create the life you really want.

| Inside Manstruation with Alyx Coble-Frakes | 18 Apr 2023 | 00:52:14 | |
Have you ever struggled to explain to the men and non-menstruators around you what you need in your menstrual month? Or why you might seem to be an entirely different personality week on week? My friend Alyx Coble-Frakes did, and her experiences of frustration have resulted in what is to my knowledge, the first book about periods specifically written for cis-men. We chatted about:

| Inside the crone – how to have a bad ass postmenopause | 13 Apr 2023 | 00:52:30 | |
My guest today is a proper badass hag. Jane Hardwicke Collings is a grandmother, former homebirth midwife for 30 years, a teacher, writer and menstrual educator. She gives workshops on mother and daughter preparation for menstruation, the spiritual practice of menstruation, and the sacred dimensions of pregnancy, birth and menopause. Jane founded and runs The School of Shamanic Womancraft, an international Women’s Mysteries School. I wanted to know how to be a fab elder, or hag or crone because there really aren’t so many positive role models or much signposting. We discussed: o What menopause taught Jane about being an elder. o The importance of owning our language and how we name ourselves: hag, crone, elder, wise woman o How to balance following your passion with caring for being in an ageing body. o How can we protect against the mental effects of ageing o How do we counteract the miserable narratives about older women o What Jane wished she had known in her 40’s o How Jane’s relationship with death illuminates her day-to-day living
You’ll notice in the conversation that though we both use a seasonal structure as a map for life, Jane and I do this differently. Jane sees one cycle through the seasons with the end of Winter announcing death, and I see two cycles, with a Second Spring starting postmenopause.

| Coming to terms: the end of biological fertility | 17 Mar 2023 | 01:15:48 | |
Exploring how we can come to terms with the end of biological fertility and how creative fertility changes postmenopause. You’ll hear five different women, all in different circumstances and each story just blew me away. There is so much courage, healing, endurance and resilience in this coming to terms and I hope you’ll feel as inspired as I was. You should know though, that many of life tragedies are discussed in this episode including baby loss, sexual abuse and suicide so if you’re having a fragile day of it, maybe come back to this episode later. Some of the interviewees wished to stay anonymous so they could speak more freely about their experiences, but they do include:

| Inside the Innana myth | 05 Mar 2023 | 00:53:28 | |
Decent and Rising: women’s stories and the embodiment of the Innana myth is a book for anyone who has ever felt lost, a failure, that they’re getting sucked deep into dark places that most people would regard as mad. Written by Carly Mountain, a psychotherapist and women’s initiatory guide, who specialises in working with sexuality, relationships and embodiment. The book is published by Womancraft and I just loved it. I first came across this story through Angela Farmer, who you’ll remember from this earlier episode https://www.katecodrington.co.uk/angela-farmer-on-life-an-inside-job/ but Carly takes it to a deeper level. Last week I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Carly about this deeply layered myth and how we can use it to navigate and better understand the dark times of our lives.

| Fixing menopause | 15 Feb 2023 | 01:00:09 | |
This episode focussed on debunking the narrative that claims menopause is a deficiency that requires fixing with oestrogen, instead of a normal, healthy life event that ushers us into a vibrant, engaged maturity. I feel that if menopause is asking us to love ourselves better, to deepen our relationship to ourselves, then HRT can really help with that, allowing us to put ourselves first. But though HRT can be a lifesaver, when it’s used for a long time to continue to push through when our resources are already depleted, without making any lifestyle changes, it is just saving up problems for later.

| Inside the unseen with photographer Rosie Barnes | 07 Dec 2022 | 00:47:34 | |
I first came across Rosie Barnes's photography through her exhibition ‘No you’re not’ a striking series of portraits and statements from autistic women who have been successful in academia and business. Two images from this series have been included in the prestigious Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Gallery in London. Rosie is a documentary and fine art photographer with a particular interest in our relationship with the natural world. She also makes work about disability, difference, community and family. She has exhibited internationally, most recently in Sweden and China and has been commissioned by the Guardian, the FT, and the Wellcome Collection, amongst others. We talk about her work and the images of autistic women, the value of shyness, Rosie’s route into photography, her funny, haunting work around nature and our relationship to it, what it’s like to see her work exhibited on a huge scale, and Rosie’s fascinating project to create a truly integrated, community housing project.
