Ep 130 Lead With Your Bones Part One: Your Bones Are Alive 08 Apr 202600:18:27

When you picture your bones, what do you see? Most of us imagine something rigid and inert, a coat hanger, a Halloween skeleton. Something that just hangs there in the dark while the rest of us gets on with living.

But that picture is wrong. 

And in this episode,the first of a three-part series called Lead With Your Bones, Carly is here to change it.

In this episode Carly explains the science of living bone in plain, language, including why oestrogen matters so much to bone health, what changes during perimenopause and menopause, and why one in two women over fifty in the UK will be affected by osteoporosis. 

She also shares a brief story of a client who went from spinal fractures and walking with two sticks to living freely and a beautiful, mythic moment drawn from Clarissa Pinkola Estés that captures the deeper philosophy of this work.

This is episode one of three. Come back next week for part two Lead With Your Bones — where we get practical about movement, strength and load.

Topics covered:

→ Why bones are living tissue, not inert scaffolding

→ Your bone’s maintenance crew explained simply

→ How oestrogen regulates bone remodelling and what changes at menopause

→ Emerging ideas around bones and your fascia

Ep 129 When Everything Shifts: Staying Rooted In Menopause01 Apr 202600:12:58

The clocks went forward last weekend. And the night before, Carly did something she does every year without thinking, she left her kitchen clock on the old time. Just as a quiet check. A way to hold both times at once while the world shifted overnight.

She couldn't help thinking... isn't that exactly what menopause feels like?

In this episode, Carly explores what it means to stay rooted in yourself when your body, your hormones, your sleep, your emotions and your sense of self are all quietly (or not so quietly) shifting. 

She talks about the two traps midlife women often fall into around identity and change, why the breath has been her most reliable constant through multiple hard seasons, and what it means to meet yourself with compassion when the version in the mirror feels unfamiliar.

This one is gentle and honest and grounded... for anyone who has ever woken up and thought: who am I now?

120: Nervous System Signals that Make Menopause Make Sense29 Jan 202600:29:30

What if many of your "menopause symptoms" are actually nervous system signals?

In this episode of Rooted in Presence, we explore why anxiety, sleep issues, emotional sensitivity, and overwhelm intensify during menopause—and how your nervous system plays a bigger role than you might realize.

Host Carly Killen breaks down the science in plain language: how oestrogen supports your stress response, why your HPA axis becomes more sensitive in midlife, and what it means when your nervous system loses its natural buffers.

You'll discover:

  • Why "pushing through" stops working in midlife
  • Common menopause experiences through a nervous system lens
  • The difference between capacity and demand
  • Practical regulation tools you can use today
  • Why understanding comes before symptom management

Plus, Carly introduces her new Rooted Menopause program—a 4-session group offering starting February 10th at Still Space Hull, designed to support understanding, regulation, strength, and direction through the menopause transition. Find out more here >>> Rooted Menopause

This episode is for anyone navigating perimenopause or menopause, feeling more anxious or reactive than usual, or wondering why nothing they used to do seems to help anymore.

Topics: menopause and nervous system, perimenopause anxiety, HPA axis menopause, nervous system regulation midlife, menopause sleep issues, emotional sensitivity menopause, stress response hormones, rooted menopause

119 Taking Up Space In Midlife: What No-one Tells You22 Jan 202600:24:48

We're often told to "take up space" to be bold, visible, and unapologetic. But what if the real work isn't about being louder... but about learning to hold space?

In this episode of Rooted in Presence, we explore the difference between taking up space (which can trigger your nervous system) and holding space (which requires deep presence and vulnerability).

Host Carly Killen shares her own journey of learning that shining her light came more from her inward journey into quiet presence than from traditional visibility ever did. She breaks down what holding space actually looks like, not just in business, but in your family, friendships, body, and daily life.

You'll discover:

  • Why "take up space" messaging can feel overwhelming
  • The difference between expanding vs. overriding your nervous system
  • How to recognize your body's yes and no
  • Practical ways to build capacity through pendulation and titration
  • Why self-doubt doesn't mean stop and how to move forward with it

This episode is for anyone navigating midlife transitions, learning to trust their own pace, or wondering why visibility feels so vulnerable. If you've ever felt like you're "playing small" but pushing harder doesn't feel right either, this conversation is for you.

Topics: holding space, nervous system capacity, midlife visibility, self-doubt, breathwork, trauma-informed growth, pendulation, titration, sustainable expansion, embodied confidence

118 Is This Stopping Your Midlife Growth? The Pattern You Haven't Noticed15 Jan 202600:22:28

What if the thing stopping your midlife growth isn't lack of effort, but a pattern you haven't noticed yet?

In this episode of Rooted in Presence, we explore the hidden trap that keeps high-achieving midlife women stuck in cycles of burnout: growing faster than your nervous system can handle.

Host Carly Killen shares her own pattern of constant forward motion, always reaching for the next thing, never quite landing in the space she'd created and how that drive for growth eventually caught up with her. Twice.

Using the mountain climbing metaphor of "base camps," this episode reveals what sustainable growth actually looks like: not constant forward motion, but cycles of reaching, resting, and integrating.

You'll discover:

  • The pattern that turns personal development into burnout
  • Why growth without safety becomes survival
  • The four types of base camps you need (place, practice, person, internal knowing)
  • How to ground yourself when the mental chatter gets loud
  • Questions that help you build infrastructure for sustainable growth
  • What Still Space Hull is and the vision behind creating a physical base camp

This episode is for you if you love personal development but suspect there's a more sustainable way. If you're navigating midlife transitions, recovering from burnout, or learning to trust your own pace instead of someone else's timeline.

Plus, Carly shares the vulnerable reality of opening Still Space Hull, her breath work studio in Hull, and extends an invitation to the February opening ceremony.

Topics: midlife burnout, sustainable personal growth, nervous system regulation, perimenopause transitions, breathwork, building resilience, growth patterns, rest and integration, base camp philosophy, midlife women's health

003: STRENGTH Training Unmasked: What Women Really Need To Know14 Sep 202300:42:09

When I was just 8 years old, I found empowerment through an unlikely source: my dad's multi-gym in our garage. That's right, I discovered strength training at an early age, and it has absolutely transformed my life. Not only has it made me physically stronger and more confident, but it's also led to an understanding of how vital strength training is for our overall health and wellbeing, particularly when it comes to our bones. 

Ever felt intimidated by the free weights area at the gym? You're not alone. I've been there, with my paper program clutched in my hand like a ticket to belonging. But let me tell you, conquering that fear was a game-changer. Six years later, and strength training has given me the courage to tackle new challenges and push beyond my comfort zone. It's not just about physical strength - this journey has also been about resilience and vitality. 

In our quest for stronger, healthier bones, we'll also debunk some of the pervasive myths about strength training, particularly for women. Spoiler alert: no, it won't make you bulky. Instead, it can strengthen your joints, help you age gracefully, and yes, fortify your bones. So whether you're a seasoned gym veteran or a newbie pondering over where to start, I'm here to guide you. Let's build stronger bones and a more vibrant life together!

In this episode of Rooted in Presence, we explore what it means to recommit to yourself in midlife without pressure, urgency, or all-or-nothing thinking.

Rather than setting rigid resolutions, this is an invitation to reflect on:

  • how you want to relate to your life
  • what no longer wants to be carried forward
  • and how intentions can guide your daily choices with compassion and clarity

We’ll gently unpack the difference between intentions, goals, habits, and presence, and why so many of the changes women struggle to “stick to” are actually skills that need time, attention, and support.

You’ll be guided through reflective questions, a simple integration practice, and a grounded way to hold your intentions without needing to perfect them.

This episode is for you if you’re longing to begin the year feeling anchored rather than driven, and ready to move forward in a way that truly fits your life.

Before You Change Everything: How to Begin January with Clarity01 Jan 202600:14:00

January often comes with pressure to start fresh, set goals, and transform overnight. But what if this moment isn’t about pushing forward… it’s about pausing first?

In this New Year’s Day episode of Rooted in Presence, Carly invites you into a gentler, more honest way of beginning the year. One that recognises we’re still in winter, still integrating, and still allowed time.

You’ll explore why many New Year’s resolutions fail not because of lack of willpower, but because they skip the vital stage of assessment and support. Carly shares how laying strong foundations, understanding your real life rhythms, and rooting into values can make change feel safer, more sustainable, and more aligned.

This episode is for you if you’re feeling the pull to change… but not the urge to rush.
 A grounded invitation to reflect, clarify, and begin again with presence.

114 You’re Not Bad at Habits, You’re Human: A Solstice Perspective18 Dec 202500:14:19

As the Winter Solstice arrives, the turning point of deepest darkness and the slow return of light; this episode offers a gentle reframe on why habits feel hard, why change takes time, and why there’s nothing “wrong” with you if December isn’t the month you magically transform your life.

Carly explores the truth most midlife women were never told:
 you don’t struggle with habits because you lack willpower…
 you struggle because you’re trying to turn skills into habits.

Boundary-setting, emotional regulation, reducing people-pleasing, changing food patterns, building strength, choosing rest — these are skills, not automatic behaviours.
And like the earth after solstice, they take time, repetition, light, and compassionate awareness to take root.

This episode weaves together:
 ✨ Solstice wisdom and the return of the light
 ✨ Why habits fail (especially in midlife)
 ✨ Neuroplasticity + why new experiences help you feel younger
 ✨ How to pause before “fixing” everything
 ✨ Gentle end-of-year reflections + rituals
 ✨ What to do instead of perfection-driven resolutions
 ✨ How to create supportive routines, rituals, and inner skills that last

A soothing, grounding invitation to slow down, reflect, and choose the gentlest next step, not from pressure, but from presence.

Perfect if you're feeling the pull to change their life, but not the energy to overhaul it.

113 - Your Inner Still Space: Calm You Can Take Anywhere11 Dec 202500:13:40

In this week’s episode of Rooted in Presence, we explore how to find calm, grounding, and inner steadiness during the festive season, even when life feels loud, busy, or overstimulating.

Inspired by my Breathwork studio, Still Space Hull, this conversation is about the kind of stillness you can carry, not the kind you escape to.

We’ll talk about how to regulate your nervous system in real-time, how to stay centred in midlife when December pulls you in every direction, and why stillness isn’t about stopping… but about anchoring into yourself, wherever you are.

If you tend to lose yourself in the season (or feel a little on the edges of it), this episode is a gentle return to presence, peace, and the quiet wisdom within you.

 if you'd like some more support with finding your inner still space, whether that is through breath work coaching, or if you're curious about how strength training can lead you to that sense of connection and peace, then feel free to visit me carlykillen.com book in a clarity call or come down to the studio at Still Space Hull (HU1 2LJ).

Ep 128 Small Habits Big Moments26 Mar 202600:12:40

What if the small things you're already doing are quietly setting you up for the moments that matter most?

In this episode, Carly shares a client story that stopped her in her tracks this week and gets personal about  hospital, how a bare-bones approach to fitness kept her in the game through years of hospital visits and what happened when life gave her a bit of breathing space.

This episode is for you if you've ever looked at what you're managing and thought: is this even enough? Spoiler: it is. You're raising your floor.

Topics covered:

→ Why fitness should be about capacity for YOUR life, not someone else's standard

→ The bare minimum that kept Carly going through the hardest season of her life

→ The floor/ceiling reframe and why your consistent effort doesn't disappear

→ Finding your own 'big moment' and making it enough

110 Midlife Doesn’t Get Easier, But You Can Get STRONGER 20 Nov 202500:10:04

We’ve all heard the saying, “life doesn’t get easier, you get stronger.”

 But what does that really mean in midlife, when your body, hormones, and energy are shifting?

In this episode, Carly explores the real meaning of strength, beyond muscle, beyond mindset.

 She shares how resistance training builds confidence, resilience, and presence (and why the science backs it up), while also unpacking what it means to be strong without bracing or burning out.

You’ll learn:

  • Why consistency matters more than intensity in strength and life
  • How resistance training supports women’s mental health and self-worth
  • The difference between pushing through and standing rooted
  • How to cultivate emotional and physical strength with compassion

Because midlife doesn’t have to get easier; you just get wiser, steadier, and stronger in all the right ways.

109 NO-vember: The Power of Loving Boundaries in Midlife13 Nov 202500:15:00

As the year speeds up and festive demands grow louder, it’s easy to slip into over-giving and overwhelm. 

In this week’s episode, Carly explores the real meaning of loving boundaries; not walls that shut people out, but limits that protect your nervous system, energy, and sense of self.

Discover why saying “no” can actually be one of the most caring things you do, how to navigate the guilt that comes with it, and how boundaries help your body move out of fight-or-flight so it can rest and rebalance.

Whether you’re entering midlife, menopause, or simply feeling stretched thin, this episode invites you to say yes to what truly matters.

108 Spiraling Again? Reframing Relapse with Midlife Wisdom06 Nov 202500:17:15

In this week’s episode of Rooted in Presence, Carly explores a question that quietly shapes so many of our midlife experiences

“When an old pattern resurfaces; is it a relapse, or a revisit?”

From burnout and busyness to the emotional loops that show up during perimenopause, Carly shares how these revisits aren’t signs of failure, they’re proof of integration.

She talks about her own turning point; the moment a simple breath became the bridge back to her body and how revisiting old habits can actually deepen your resilience, compassion, and capacity for joy.

This episode is an invitation to soften your self-talk, reframe your growth, and see how every return holds wisdom.

🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever felt like you were “back where you started”  you might just realise you’re further along than you think.

Letting Go: What the Trees Teach Us About Midlife, Menopause, and Change30 Oct 202500:13:30

In this reflective episode, Carly explores what the trees, and the rhythm of autumn can teach us about navigating change in midlife and menopause.

Drawing from personal stories of burnout, breathwork, and renewal, she explores how the natural cycles of nourishment, release, and rest mirror our own seasons of transition; especially through menopause and other midlife shifts.

You’ll hear about:
 🍂 Why slowing down doesn’t mean giving up
 🌳 How to stay grounded when everything feels uncertain
 🌿 What nature can teach us about protecting what matters most
 ✨ Simple practices to stay rooted through change

This episode is a gentle invitation to trust your own rhythm, to find steadiness in the season you’re in, and to remember, letting go is not the end, it’s part of the cycle of becoming.

What does it really mean to feel grounded?

In this week’s episode of Rooted in Presence, Carly explores the science and soul of grounding and why it matters so much in midlife.

From hormone changes in perimenopause and menopause to the emotional shifts of parenting, caregiving, and career transitions, many of us lose our sense of stability.
