100 - Rooted in Presence: The Story Behind the Shift10 Sep 202500:10:22

Two years ago, I pressed record on the very first episode of this podcast. Back then, it was The Strong Bones Coach Podcast, a space dedicated to building stronger bodies and stronger bones. But as the conversations deepened, so did the calling.

This milestone episode marks the beginning of a new chapter: Rooted in Presence.

In today’s conversation, I share:
 🌿 Why I started the podcast in the first place
 🌿 The quiet nudge that told me it was time to change
 🌿 The synchronicity of “RIP” and the question that’s shaped my life: What if this were my last decade?
🌿 What you can expect from Rooted in Presence as we move forward together

If you’ve been here since the beginning—thank you for walking this journey with me. And if you’re new here, welcome. You’ve arrived at a beautiful time.

Because this space isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering yourself. Coming home. Rooted, steady, present.

099 Reclaiming Your Midlife Self03 Sep 202500:16:03

Midlife isn’t a restart, it’s a remembering.

This episode is an invitation to call back the parts of you that have been quiet for too long, the ones hidden under survival, pleasing, and performing.


 We’ll explore the realms of reclamation, inspired by Women Who Run With the Wolves and the Bodies of Breath: creativity, sensuality, healing, sexuality, timelines, magic, and the wisdom beyond endings.

You’ll hear how these aren’t lofty concepts but living, breathing parts of you that can return through the simplest of moments.

Because integration isn’t just about the big turning points. It’s the daily act of carrying your truth into the most ordinary places of your life.

If you’re ready to return to your own centre and live from a place of truth, not performance, let’s talk.

089: Reclaiming Your VOICE in Midlife ft. Laura Dumbleton25 Jun 202500:32:10

Have you ever felt like you’ve lost your voice, literally or metaphorically?

In this episode, Carly is joined by voice coach and Breathwork facilitator Laura Dumbleton, for a rich and real conversation about the changes that happen to our voices, confidence, and nervous system through midlife. They dive into how your breath and voice are intimately linked, what really happens during perimenopause, and how you can start to reclaim your voice: not just as a sound, but as a part of your identity.

We talk about:

  • How hormones and perimenopause impact your vocal cords (yes, really)
  • Why your voice might feel “off” or different, and what to do about it
  • The link between confidence, nervous system regulation, and your vocal tone
  • Simple tools to support your voice and nervous system daily
  • Why humming might be your new favourite nervous system hack

Whether you’re preparing for a presentation, struggling with confidence at work, or just want to feel more grounded and expressive — this conversation is for you.

098 The Power In Compassionate CONSISTENCY27 Aug 202500:15:25

We’ve been told for years that consistency is the golden ticket to success.

Wake up early, hit your steps, stick to the plan, no matter what. 

And sure, that works… until it doesn’t. Especially in midlife, when your body, hormones, energy, and nervous system all play by new rules.

In this episode, I’m reframing consistency... shifting it from rigid repetition to something I call compassionate consistency

It’s about staying in right relationship with yourself, honouring your rhythms, and creating trust in your own follow-through… even when life isn’t neat.

We’ll explore:

  • Why rigid routines can backfire for women in midlife
  • How your nervous system really responds to repetition
  • The difference between self-consistency and routine-consistency
  • Tiny, grounding rituals that anchor you without pressure
  • The power of values, motivation, and self-honesty in building sustainable change

This isn’t about doing more... it’s about holding more.
 Not punishing. Not perfect. Just present.

Press play to discover why slow, steady, and self-aligned will always beat hustle in the long run.

If you’re ready to step off the treadmill of “shoulds” and build rhythms that actually work for you, we can explore it together.

079: The Forgotten Strength Tool for Menopause and Osteoporosis09 Apr 202500:11:06

In this episode, Carly shares the most overlooked yet powerful strength tool for women in midlife your breath. 

As we navigate menopause and osteoporosis risk, we often focus on weights, diet, and movement, but forget the foundational role of diaphragmatic breathing in building strength, stability, and recovery.

Carly explains how proper breathing activates your deep core and supports spinal safety, especially for those with low bone density or previous fractures. You’ll also learn simple techniques to reconnect with your breath, calm your nervous system, and enhance post-workout recovery: all without needing more time or equipment.

This one’s a blend of science, practicality, and compassion... especially for those of us navigating the beautiful chaos of midlife.

078: Redefining Resilience: The Strength in Softness02 Apr 202500:11:05

Have you ever been praised for being “so strong”… but inside, you felt anything but?

In this soulful episode, Carly shares a deeply personal story about how breathwork, timing, and a simple flower (yes, a daffodil!) reshaped her definition of resilience. As we move through midlife, many of us carry the weight of “holding it all together,” but what if that’s not the only way to be strong?

You’ll hear: 

💛 Why "coping" isn’t the same as healing
 💛 How softness, rest, and breath can be radical acts of strength
 💛 The daffodil metaphor that may just shift how you see your own growth
 💛 A reminder that true resilience isn't always loud — sometimes it's in the quietest exhale

This episode is for every woman who has been holding it all together and is now ready to exhale. It’s not about giving up — it’s about letting go of what no longer serves and discovering a new way to stand strong.

077: Compassionate CONSISTENCY: A New Way to Thrive through MENOPAUSE27 Mar 202500:07:59

Do you feel like you “just need to be more consistent” but never quite manage to stick to a routine? 

You're not broken, and you're not alone. 

In this episode of The Strong Bones Coach Podcast, Carly breaks down why the old model of consistency doesn't work for women in perimenopause and menopause, and how to embrace a new way of showing up for yourself that actually sticks.

You’ll learn:

  • Why rigid routines often backfire in midlife
  • How hormonal changes impact energy, sleep, and motivation
  • What “compassionate consistency” really means—and how to apply it

097 Menopause Isn’t a Problem to Fix: A Reframing of the Midlife Threshold20 Aug 202500:14:04

You’ve heard menopause is “natural.” But natural doesn’t mean effortless... and it certainly doesn’t mean support isn’t needed.

In this expansive and empowering episode, we reframe menopause not as something to fix, but as a profound rite of passage. A threshold. A second spring.

Join me as we explore:

  • What’s really happening with your hormones: oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and how they impact bone, muscle, mood, and more
  • The real stages of menopause: pre-menopause, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause
  • Why so many of us feel off-balance in midlife and why you’re not broken
  • The deep cultural silence around this transition, and how to reclaim your voice
  • How this season of life offers a return to your core values, clarity, and strength
  • Why “second spring” isn’t about going backwards, it’s about emerging with more of your self intact

This episode is part education, part validation, part invitation. Wherever you are on the menopause path, this conversation is for you.

You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re blooming in your own time.

096 Food, Feelings & Finding Peace: How to Ease Emotional Eating13 Aug 202500:10:42

Do you find yourself reaching for food when what you really need is a pause… a break… or just a little care?

In this gentle and grounding episode, I explore the deeper layers beneath emotional eating—why we turn to food when we’re overwhelmed, bored, or craving connection, and how we can soften our patterns without shame.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between physical and emotional hunger
  • How habits like “desk snacking” or “car cravings” are often nervous system signals, not food needs
  • How to bring compassionate awareness to your choices (without guilt or restriction)
  • Why transitions, breathwork, and presence-led tools are powerful alternatives
  • How mindful strength work can support your emotional regulation

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.

If you’ve ever said “I know what to do… but I don’t do it,” this episode is for you.

095 The Body Keeps the Clues06 Aug 202500:12:21

In this episode, we explore how your body holds subtle (and not-so-subtle) clues about your needs, history, and healing. From nervous system whispers to tension patterns, your body carries messages that your mind might overlook.

We talk about:

  • The difference between intellectual insight and somatic knowing
  • How emotions, memories, and unmet needs can be held in the body
  • The power of Breathwork in gently releasing stored tension
  • Why muscle doesn’t just speak to strength—it can hold the weight of unprocessed experiences
  • The importance of support, co-regulation, and compassionate integration

This isn’t a trauma deep-dive, but a heartfelt reflection grounded in personal experience and trauma-informed breathwork.
