  • Are You Singing Or Are You Breathing
    Nov 21 2024

    Have you ever found yourself speeding through life, only to be stopped in your tracks by a sudden cold or flu? That's exactly what happened to me, and it was a not-so-gentle reminder that sometimes, we need to pause and breathe rather than just sing at the top of our lungs. This week's episode of Far Too Fabulous is inspired by a beautiful story from Jay Shetty about a choir's harmonious performance, serving as a metaphor for achieving balance in our hectic lives. We dive into why it's crucial to intersperse moments of rest with our busy routines, especially now as the holiday chaos approaches.

    Feeling "high functioning sick" is a reality that many of us, especially women juggling multiple roles, face every day. We unpack this concept by comparing it to being a "high functioning alcoholic"—seemingly fine on the outside but battling significant health issues beneath the surface. Through personal anecdotes and observations from our own family histories, we highlight the importance of genuine downtime and social connections. It's all about finding those precious moments of rest amid the madness of our schedules, and we hope our stories inspire you to do the same.

    Shifting gears, we explore how the brain's capacity for deep thinking impacts our professional lives. By balancing intense mental tasks with creative breaks—like a beach walk or even a favorite song—we can enhance productivity and stave off burnout. We also touch on how these insights can help cultivate creativity in children, reminding us of the joy and importance of creativity. As we aim to empower a thousand women with our podcast, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with your friends. Let's take this journey together and embrace living fabulously while keeping our wellness front and center.

  • Transformative Pilates: From Nursing to Wellness Empowerment
    Nov 7 2024

    What happens when a nurse trading her scrubs for a Pilates mat turns her passion into a thriving wellness career? Catherine describes her remarkable transition from nursing to becoming a Pilates instructor, sharing how a simple gym connection with her husband blossomed into a life-altering journey. From navigating pregnancies with Pilates to founding her own studio in Whitstable, Catherine's story embodies the resilience and adaptability of this practice, especially highlighted during her seamless move to online classes amidst a global pandemic. This episode offers an inspiring glimpse into how Pilates has not only reshaped her professional path but also fortified her personal wellness.

    Explore the roots of Pilates with insights into Joseph Pilates' pioneering vision, originally called controlology, and his transformative work with dancers in New York City. Discover Pilates's rich history and six guiding principles—concentration, control, flow, centering, precision, and breathing—all crucial for tailoring the practice to diverse abilities. Catherine also discusses the invigorating benefits of Pilates for perimenopausal women, emphasizing its power to energize rather than exhaust when combined with targeted strength training. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the mat, this episode sheds light on integrating Pilates into your daily wellness routine with tangible benefits.

    Remember—you are very welcome to join one of Catherine's online Mat Pilates classes. Email her at workout@catherinechapman.co.uk, and she can send you the details.
