451:Sitting with Midlife Discomfort for 180 Degrees of Healing Glow Up with Sweaty AF

In this episode, we explore the challenges and opportunities that midlife brings, focusing on how setbacks like divorce, empty nesting, or career changes can be turned into periods of transformation and growth. When our guests Joey and Lucy (hosts of the popular podcast Sweaty AF, met in a small London sauna five years ago, they were both going through the darkest chapters of their lives. Divorce proceedings, sleepless nights, hormone chaos, and that crushing feeling that their bodies had completely betrayed them. What happened next in that tiny, three-person sauna changed everything.

This is the raw, honest story of how two women discovered that healing happens when you're willing to sit with discomfort – literally and figuratively. From averaging just 2-3 hours of sleep per night to building thriving businesses, transforming their relationships with their ex-husbands, and creating a community that spans continents, Joey and Lucy prove that midlife isn't about decline – it's about renaissance.

They delve into the benefits of hot and cold therapy, the importance of sleep, the value of walking and natural daylight, and how creating a supportive community can lead to an overall 'glow up'. If you're feeling stuck, isolated, or like your best years are behind you, this conversation will remind you that healing and friendship can happen anywhere – even in a sweaty box with strangers who become your closest confidants.
