Running on empty? Feeling disconnected? Clinical psychologist and EMDR consultant Dr Claire Plumbly joins Liz to help you bounce back from burnout and overwhelm.

Claire walks Liz through the three signs you're burnt out (and why these often blur with menopause symptoms), and how big T and little T traumas may impact our behaviours.

Claire also chats to Liz about our flight-or-fight response, and breaks down the role of our vagus nerve and nervous system, drawing on the Polyvagal Theory. She also shares simple strategies to self-soothe.

With one in two women expected to have an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Vonda Wright reveals the steps to take now to protect ourselves from this reality - and instead age with power.

Liz and Vonda discuss how we can invest in both our physical and mental resilience to avoid osteoporosis, immobility, joint pain and bone fractures in later life, plus how motherhood, menopause, vaping and smoking impact our bones.

Vonda shares the major exercise change to make to improve our strength, and the foods to prioritise to ensure you're getting enough calcium and protein (plus other essential nutrients you need) for your bones and muscles.
