Catherine Lorimer's Guide to Life
Fifty something, strong minded independent woman who lives with a black Labrador called Pippa. I have lived a full life, been married, divorced, travelled with others and alone, been to concerts and festivals alone. I have run a marathon, owned and run my own small holding and separate dog walking business, I ride horses and currently own a rare breed Fell pony called Merlin. I have taken part in dressage, show jumping, cross country and long distance rides. I have been on a South African Wildlife Safari, riding horses amongst zebras and giraffe. I have worked for a Royal College, a Castle on a small country estate, in book production and publishing, for Italian and Chinese companies.
I started my podcast to help me survive divorce, it has taken me on an incredible journey and I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone, doing activities the stories of which are available for you to listen to. I have met some incredible individuals along the way, real people who have overcome lots of different life challenges.
I have found myself having coffee with Paula Radcliff in Manchester, I have met Chris Evans, been interviewed by him on Virgin Radio, I have met the inspirational Richard Branson, sat next to the lovely Jake Quickendon at a charity event and asked him if he was on Instagram. I have worked on my self development, physical fitness and mental health, having suffered from social anxiety and had a massive lack of self confidence and I talk about this in my podcasts. By pushing myself to do all the things I talk about in my podcast, I have built up resilience. I am now mentally strong enough to date and my podcasts are currently on this topic. There are interviews with some truly inspiring real people to have a listen to, real life role models, who have overcome real life situations which you can listen to for advice and encouragement to help you through life.

The Third Date Rule - WTF
I messaged my dating Buddy and said its my third date. The reply ohh its the third date rule, I replied what is that...
I look into the third date rule and question why it is a thing?
It you have had two dates 6 hours each, that's less time than you would spend with your work colleagues on your first day at work, 7.5 hours average and you hardly know them, so why would spending only 6 hours with someone mean its ok to sleep with someone.
If a guy is really invested in you he will wait until you are ready and you have some kind of connection which can't really be formed in just 6 hours.
If he is willing to wait then he is clearly dating you because he likes you and will be willing to wait.
Don't sleep with a guy after the third date, just because you think you should, or you think its expected to, or that he is not going to like you, if you don't, if he really likes you he will wait.
