More Rest, More Joy: A 'Should Free' Life with Jamie Pei

Épisode 17

mercredi 21 août 2024 • Durée 51:38

Jamie Pei, my lovely friend and fabulous work play coach, joins us this week to chat about the importance of undoing the societal expectations and 'shoulds' around work and life.

Finding joy and play and ease in amongst the daily grind is essential in perimenopause to avoid burn out and making symptoms worse.

We both share our experiences of hustle culture and how this just hasn't brought us fulfilment in our day to day lives. This chat touches on the parallels between diet culture and work culture, and how both are rooted in 'shoulds' and external ideals. All of these things stop us from truly being able to be ourselves because we are drawn in to performing life the way society expects us to.

Jamie helps us ditch the expectations and puts a fresh take what it means to sleep our way to the top through rest!

About Jamie Pei:

With over two decades of experience in the media, fashion, religion and academia, Jamie knows a thing or two about living under the shadow and control of a big, influential institution. She finally made the firm decision to leave all of that behind to start her own coaching business and step into her main-character-energy era!

Jamie is now a work/play coach, supporting self-employed folk to curate a worklife that’s full of ease and play, and aligns with WHAT THEY WANT for their lives. A big part of this work includes helping you find your best way to say “fuck it” to the shoulds - in other words, to recognise which ‘shoulds’, expectations and ideals are still keeping you small, so you can shrug them off for good and start living exactly how YOU want.

An offer for Podcast listeners:

Come hang out with me in a free 45-minute work/play audit, where we’ll deep-dive what’s going on in your work-life and find at least one actionable step you can take to start enjoying more rest and play in your days: https://calendly.com/jamiepei/work-play-audit

Can We Really Wear the Shorts?

Épisode 8

mercredi 15 mai 2024 • Durée 18:48

This week I'm frustrated at yet another attempt at body positive marketing that has simply just left many of us out of the picture. If we can wear the shorts, could we please have some in our size?

If you are heading in to summer and feeling all the body image issue churning up as you try and figure out what the heck you are going to wear and how to get past your fears of showing your body to the world after what feels like the longest winter, have no fear because I'm delivering the pep talk you need to not give a crap what anyone thinks this summer!

Embracing Rage and Reclaiming Emotions

Épisode 7

mercredi 8 mai 2024 • Durée 43:49

Ironically, women are stereotyped as 'emotional', but in reality we are often only allowed to exhibit emotions we feel safe to express around other people.

In perimenopause your fuse might be shorter than a stick of dynamite and you cant keep a lid on the boiling pot of emotion that bubbles inside of you

Why? Why now in your 40's are you losing your cool in work, at home, with the kids, the husband, partner or even the dog?

Because your good girl hormone has left the building! Yes our little friend Oestrogen is responsible for making sure you stick to the rules of being the nice one, but she's leaving you high and dry and you're left with some serious rage that seems to come from nowhere.

This surge of emotions is not a fault; it's a compass guiding you towards the areas of your life that need attention.

In this episode I'm going to explain how you can reclaim your emotions without guilt or shame and without feeling like you've hit self destruct button on your life!

Plus get my latest blog post for simple ways you can support yourself through this phase, I use many natural remedies alongside unlearning the patriarchy! I'm sharing them here with you here

Perimenopause Sleep Secrets You Can't Ignore

Épisode 5

mercredi 24 avril 2024 • Durée 37:13

This week I'm sharing my secrets to a better nights sleep and some of them might surprise you!

Perimenopause brings with it a new level of sleep deprivation, and I for one wasn't prepared for it at all. I know that you are probably suffering just as much as me.

When you don't get the sleep you need, it can make your perimenopause symptoms worse, and the declining hormones impacts your ability to sleep - it's a vicious cycle.

But instead of sharing with you the usual advice standard advice you might expect to hear, I'm actually going to drill down into some of the real reasons none of the usual advice works for you and some of it might surprise you!

In this episode I want you to see how diet culture and the pressure to be everything to everyone is impacting your ability to sleep, as well as some tough love on one thing you probably haven't addressed.

Dive in to this weeks episode and let's get some sleep!

Body Image and Challenging Societal Beauty Standards

Épisode 4

mercredi 17 avril 2024 • Durée 30:41

Body image and how it impacts our ability to have peace in our body is one topic I get so fired up about. This week I am lifting the lid on the societal pressure to conform to thinness and youthfulness that is fed to us from a young age. Where does it come from? Do we really have a preference for a thin body or is it really about keeping us conforming to an unattainable beauty standard?

This episode will help you see the reality behind your desire to be thin, how it affects you in perimenopause and help you take the steps towards unlearning ingrained messaging and finding health and peace outside of the weight loss paradigm.
