Take A Breath
A podcast for creating practical calm in the messy middle of midlife.
This is your space to pause.
Because life in midlife is full-on. Between work, family, menopause, and the mental load, your nervous system can easily end up in constant overdrive — leaving you feeling exhausted, reactive, and overwhelmed by even the smallest things.
Each week, I’ll share my own tools, alongside honest conversations and practical nervous system support — to help you create more calm, peace, joy, and inner steadiness. Not by escaping your life, because that’s totally unrealistic, but by meeting it differently.
So when you're ready, let’s take a breath together…

#139: The Healing Power of Walking with Linzi Bell
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I spoke with Linzi Bell — adventurer, speaker, and mental health advocate — just days after she completed the Camino Via Francigena: 1,512 miles in just 66 days.
Fresh off the trail, our conversation became a moment of deep reflection on the healing power of nature, the emotional honesty that long-distance walking invites, and the kind of growth that only arrives when you give yourself space to feel it all.
And what a journey it’s been.
Not only has she walked across Europe — she also became the @fastestknowntime to solo thru-hike the entire coastline of Great Britain.
That’s more than 6,000 miles, or the equivalent of 234 marathons in 298 days!
Linzi’s story isn’t just about miles (though she’s walked thousands).
It’s about resilience, joy, and letting the outdoors meet you exactly where you are.
And her mission? To help people smile through the beautiful benefits of the great outdoors. 🌿
🎧 In this episode of Menomorphosis, we talk:
✨ The highs and lows of hiking thousands of miles alone
✨ The real mental shifts that happen in nature
✨ Why movement outdoors can be a lifeline for mental health
If you’re craving a fresh perspective — or just a reminder of the magic waiting outside your front door — this one’s for you.
