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.

110 Midlife Doesn’t Get Easier, But You Can Get STRONGER

Rooted In Presence ·

2025/11/20

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.

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...

We hear a lot about midlife transformation; reinvention, breakthroughs, new beginnings. But what no one tells you is that the real transformation often happens quietly, between the breaths. In this week’s episode of Rooted in Presence, Carly shares her personal story of burnout, perimenopause, and rediscovering her grounding through breathwork.

2025/10/01

Who are you when the roles shift? In midlife, so many of us feel the ground move beneath us. Children grow, parents age, careers evolve, bodies change. And suddenly, the roles we’ve been living inside: mother, partner, achiever, caregiver, don’t define us in the same way. This episode is an invitation to explore what lies beneath those shifting identities. I share personal stories of how my relationship with my daughter has changed as she grows into young adulthood, and how burnout challenged...

We’ve been told to focus on “eating right”... counting calories, tracking macros, following the perfect plan. Nutrition matters, yes. But nourishment? Nourishment changes everything. In this episode of Rooted in Presence, I explore how midlife calls us to move beyond food rules and into a deeper, kinder relationship with eating. As a dietitian for over 15 years, I know the science... but I'm also aware that food is about more than fuel. It’s about care, pleasure, presence, and connectio...

101 Midlife Repotting: How to Stay Rooted Through Change

Rooted In Presence ·

2025/09/17

Change, even the good kind, can leave us feeling wobbly, disoriented, or untethered. In this episode, I share a story about repotting plants for my new Breathwork studio, Still Space Hull, and how it mirrors the experience of midlife change. Just like plants, we can experience our own kind of “repotting shock” when we step into something new. Old roots are disrupted. Familiar ground feels shaky. And yet, this is how growth happens. You’ll hear: 🌱 What repotting shock can teach us about ...

Midlife isn’t a restart, it’s a remembering. This episode is an invitation to call back the parts of you that have been quiet for too long, the ones hidden under survival, pleasing, and performing. We’ll explore the realms of reclamation, inspired by Women Who Run With the Wolves and the Bodies of Breath: creativity, sensuality, healing, sexuality, timelines, magic, and the wisdom beyond endings. You’ll hear how these aren’t lofty concepts but living, breathing parts of you that can re...

098 The Power In Compassionate CONSISTENCY

2025/08/27

We’ve been told for years that consistency is the golden ticket to success. Wake up early, hit your steps, stick to the plan, no matter what. And sure, that works… until it doesn’t. Especially in midlife, when your body, hormones, energy, and nervous system all play by new rules. In this episode, I’m reframing consistency... shifting it from rigid repetition to something I call compassionate consistency. It’s about staying in right relationship with yourself, honouring your rhythm...
