This week, I’m sharing a special episode from the MENOMORPHOSIS archives—one that’s very close to my heart. This was actually the first ever interview I recorded for the podcast, back in May 2022, and it’s just as relevant and inspiring today.

In this episode, I chat with the brilliant Lou Featherstone, also known as @luinland over on Instagram. Lou is bold, funny, and fiercely real. She shares her midlife journey—from giving up shopping and moving countries, to embracing her voice, her body, and her purpose.

We talk about confidence, community, creativity, and why midlife can be a time of powerful change—if you let it.

Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or listening again, I hope it leaves you feeling uplifted and reminded that this chapter of life is full of potential.

If you don't already, go give Lou a follow over on instagram https://www.instagram.com/luinluland/

On this week's Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are diving into the magic that happens outside your comfort zone.

Because when you do something that feels a bit uncomfortable? You’re not just edging closer to your dreams and desires—you’re also giving your confidence a serious boost.

We’re sharing some of our own stories about times we’ve stepped out of our comfort zones and offering a few tips on how you can do the same, in a way that feels doable—not daunting.

We hope there’s something in here for you to take away.

Love Polly & Lucy xx

Episode Description:
If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do, I just can’t seem to stick to it” — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the five gentle-but-powerful shifts that have helped me stay consistent without pushing harder, burning out or beating myself up.

I’ll show you how to build habits that feel safe in your body (not like another pressure), and how to design your routines around your real life — not some perfect version of it.

We'll explore:
💛 Why consistency often feels hard — and why it’s not your fault
💛 What’s really going on when motivation fizzles (and what to do instead)
💛 Why starting smaller isn’t cheating — it’s neuroscience
💛 How to build identity-based habits that reflect who you are now
💛 The secret power of micro-wins and why they matter so much in midlife

This isn’t about forcing change — it’s about creating conditions where showing up for yourself feels natural again.

It’s about creating rhythms you can return to — even on your hardest days.

Let’s stop measuring consistency by how perfectly we do the thing — and start honouring how often we come back to it. Even gently. Even imperfectly.
