Cyndi and Carren have begun to experience the symptoms of menopause, neither of them are prepared to put up with the discomforts and talk about what they are doing. HRT and drugs are not an option. Listen in as they tell their stories and what they are doing about becoming an even better version of health than they already are. Kim smirks throughout the whole hour. If you could only see her face. But she does come up with one good quote after the hour. “Investigate and Educate don’t complain and complicate”.

As 2013 comes to a close and 2014 is about to dawn, we listen in on the Up For A Chat girls as they talk about their New Years Resolutions. What becomes glaringly obvious is how different Kim, Carren and Cyndi view a resolution. Each of them do them differently and one doesn’t believe in them at all. By the time this chat finishes all have decided on some key resolutions that they must do for 2014. The Up For A Chat girls all learnt in this podcast the importance of resolution no matter what time of the year it is. And Carren summed up how to create one, by having a compelling why, state what the goal is and how will it be achieved.

Have respect for your parents
Confidence – fake it till you make it

The Up For a Chat girls have a little mantra of their own. It goes a bit like this; we take full responsibility for our lives, our health and our relationships, by taking responsibility we are in control of our life. If we blame we become victims rather then controllers of our destiny. It is this mantra that begins the conversation this week. Are you a blamer and a victim or do you take full responsibility of where you are in your life. Listen in on this wonderful conversation that teaches you to become masters of your life and destiny
