I'd always rolled my eyes at the thought of a morning routine. I mean seriously, who has the time and how does it even help?And then I came across Hal Elrod, the author of the Miracle Morning Routine. In his podcast interview with Rachel Hollis (linked below) he explained how he had developed the Miracle Morning Routine and how it  worked. I was intrigued. So intrigued that I bought the book (also linked below) and a few days later I started my very own Miracle Morning Routine.  Nearly 40 days in now and I LOVE it!In this episode I share what it looks like in practice, how to tweak it to fit your day and the benefits it has brought to my life. It really has been life changing.  I hope that if you're feeling a little unsettled and you're searching for a practice to help, that this might offer some comfort. Oh and before I forget! Here's the link to the retreat that I'm running at the beginning of October 2024. I've prepared a brochure which answers and explains all that you should need to know in the first instance. And if you have any questions at all, please just email me at mail@bethgoodrham.com and I'll be happy to help answer any questions you may have.  CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE RETREAT BROCHURE  Additional links referred to in the episode: The Rachel Hollis Podcast Episode 580 with Hal ElrodMiracle Morning Book By Hal Elrod

In sharing five thoughts that I think only I think, I wanted to de-mystify how our minds work and how in reality, there are probably lots of people with the same thoughts as you - you just don't realise it - and that can be horribly isolating. So join me as I share my five thoughts. Even if you don't identify with them exactly, hopefully they will help to paint a picture for you which feels a little more rosy!

Or even better "Wow, I am totally sorted and she totally IS NOT!"Come and join me as I journey through five things I'm rubbish at, five things I'm good at (I say that with the lighest of touches!) my five greatest fears, five daily spiritual practices that I follow and five thoughts I think only I think!Feel free to come and find me on Instagram at bethgoodrham and drop me a message there.

In this episode my friend, Libby, and I consider (from varying angles!) an especially wise quote from Matt Haig which reads as follows:"You don't need a new you. You don't need replacing every year like another iPhone. Don't throw yourself away like another piece of plastic trash. Love the old you. Improve, evolve, do better, but head towards yourself not away. Be gentle with your mind."It's such a profound quote and led us down many different avenues, before we reached our ultimate goal of today's episode which was discuss, and share with you, our favourite TV series. We hope that you enjoy the ride!

I'm so excited to be sharing all about the "divine feminine" with you on the podcast. It is a concept that I've come across fairly recently.  And in all honesty, I cannot believe that I've reached my grand age without really coming across it before. It is revelatory in figuring out how to gain more balance in your life.The point of the podcast has always been to share with you things that I come across by way of new concepts, ideas and beliefs that I think might help to make your life a little bit easier. So I hope that this does too. One of the ways that I started to understand more about the divine feminine was by reading a book that I'm going to recommend to you called "The Divine Feminine" by Layla moon which you can get HERE. If you'd like to come and find me on IG you can do so at bethgoodrham and to find out more about what I have to share with you and how I can help, come and visit my website HERE.Much love, Beth x

Ever had the time to investigate haircare, make-up and beauty? No, me neither until surgery for a hysterectomy forced me off my feet and in to bed, where I began to dig into the incredible world of purple shampoo, face oils and foundation to make you glow!Come on a journey with me as I share the discoveries I made as I tried out different products, practically from my bed!If you like the podcast it would be lovely if you could rate and review it. And if you'd like to come and say hi, you can find me on Instagram here or come and take a look at my shiny new website here

Hello and welcome! This podcast forms part of a mini series of podcasts called "Lessons from my bed."  Several weeks ago I had an abdominal hysterectomy and as a result of that, I have spent a lot of time in my bed. I've learned a lot, not only about life in general, but about myself in terms of surrendering to things and having to be accepting of what is happening. Although I knew I would get better, my life has been so different. I haven't been able to do any exercise, which forms a large part of who I am and what I do. There's been no cooking, no cleaning, no washing, no ironing, no food shopping, no walking. My freedom has been massively curtailed. I felt like I'd been cut in half. There were so many things that changed that I had just had to be really accepting of. As a result of that, I've learned lots of things. So I thought what I would do is make them into a series of podcast episodes, in the hope that you might find them helpful to.In this episode I'm sharing all that I learned about style and fashion - how I created a file of outfit ideas for inspiration to see me through the next few months and the surprising role that clothes played in my recovery. And if it helps to know, there's also talk about the upcoming trends for the season! I hope that you enjoy it and please feel free to drop me an email at mail@bethgoodrham.com or come and find me on instagram at bethgoodrham 💗

Hello! The purpose of this episode is to offer you help and advice if you're facing a hysterectomy, or to help you to support a friend, or family member, who is. During the episode I share with you how my hysterectomy came about, what my hospital stay looked like and what the recovery time is like afterwards.  I had a lot of messages on Instagram from people saying that they were worried about their upcoming op as they don't know what to expect, or they weren't sure whether to have it done now, or in the future. So I thought I'd share my experience in the hope that it might offer even just a little bit of help or reassurance.  I've also got a series of upcoming episodes to talk you through the things you can do from your bed; whether you're laid up because you've had a hip replacement operation, or a  bunion removed, or some other kind of surgery.  I think there's that feeling that we're not going to be able to do anything or achieve anything. And for sure, whilst there are times where it is absolutely true, it's amazing what you can actually achieve lying down It's amazing how far forward you can go even when you've been brought to a grinding halt and I'll be sharing those ideas with you.

For this episode I've abandoned the intro and the outro and I'd love to know what you think! Do you prefer it? Or do you prefer to have them in?I wanted to get straight into things and in this episode I talk all things keto: from how I got started, to keto substitutes, keto snacks, keto cakes and keto vegetarian and non vegetarian meals, plus store cupboard essentials. If you'd like a Zoom class on all things keto, just let me know, either at mail@bethgoodrham.com or @bethgoodrham over on Instagram. I think it could be great fun. After all "lessons in chemistry" is a current favourite read of mine, so I could do my own version. I hope that you find this useful and interesting and any questions, you know where to find me. Much love, Beth x

In the first episode of this two part podcast, I'm sharing with you what changes I made to my diet, why I made them and the benefits I've noticed.As a girl who was brought up in the 1970s, everything was low fat. From cheese, to yoghurt and milk, the thought of eating anything other than a low fat version just wasn't done.  Fat was the enemy!Which is why it's so strange to find myself eating a diet which is higher in fat than it ever was before. And why I'm no longer looking to carbs to fill me up. The changes that I've noticed and the benefits I've felt have been beyond anything I could have imagined. I've had lots of questions about the changes I've made to my diet so if you're interested to find out more about what's going on tune in! And  in part 2, I'll talk through what I eat on a daily basis together with some recipe ideas so that you can see how it all comes together. At the start of the episode I referred to my "Sunday Love Letter" sign up link, the in person coaching event I'm holding in November with my friend Mandy Rees and the "Embrace Your Magic" talk that I'm holding on 22nd August. Just click the links below to find out more and I'll see you again next week!

Recently it struck me how going on holiday is a brilliant opportunity for people to re-invent themselves (especially if they're a teenager!) They're free to shake off the shackles of being known as the nerdy one,  or the one who had bad skin, or the one who needed a brace. And it got me thinking....if we all had a clean sheet of paper and could start again from scratch, what parts of our identity would we let go too? Take a listen to find out how this might unfold in the real world.

So here are a couple of questions for you. Do you know what the benefits of play are...even as an adult? And how often do you intentionally engage in it?My guess is probably not very much. In fact, you may even balk at the idea. Perhaps you think that play is something that only children do.I used to think the same too. Until I started to receive a  very clear message that I needed to play more. And the results have been fascinating to me. In this episode I  share with you the benefits of play, what it might look like for you and how to incoporate it into your life. Let's go and have some fun!If you'd like to receive new podcasts as soon as they drop,  just hit the subscribe button.
