| Ep 130 Lead With Your Bones Part One: Your Bones Are Alive | 08 Apr 2026 | 00:18:27 | |
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 Thanks for listening to Rooted In Presence If you’d like to get in touch with a question about today’s episode or find out how I can support you with coaching, here’s how to reach me: Do you crave unshakable confidence in your strength from midlife and beyond?

| Ep 129 When Everything Shifts: Staying Rooted In Menopause | 01 Apr 2026 | 00:12:58 | |
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?

| 119 Taking Up Space In Midlife: What No-one Tells You | 22 Jan 2026 | 00:24:48 | |
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:
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.

| 117 Recommitting to Yourself in Midlife: A Rooted Approach to Intentions | 08 Jan 2026 | 00:15:08 | |
January often arrives with loud messages about fixing, pushing, and starting over. 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:
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.
