  • Anna Williamson | Emotional Intimacy, Family Conflict & Dating in Midlife

    Anna Williamson | Emotional Intimacy, Family Conflict & Dating in Midlife
    Dec 16 2025

    In this warm, insightful, and laugh-out-loud episode, Michelle Ford sits down with presenter, counsellor, and podcast powerhouse Anna Williamson to explore one of midlife’s biggest topics: staying emotionally connected when life, family and festive chaos compete for your attention.


    Anna shares how emotional intimacy and active listening keeps long-term relationships thriving, why communication is usually at the heart of every issue, and how understanding the “seasons” of life can help couples navigate natural shifts - even after decades together. They also talk about the highs, lows, and emotional dynamics behind shows like I’m a Celebrity and Celebs Go Dating, where Anna works as an ‘agent’, and what those televised moments can teach us about connection in real life.


    With Christmas stress looming, Michelle and Anna dive into practical, compassionate strategies for avoiding conflict, setting boundaries, and staying emotionally connected to your partner. They explore how to find the spark again, how to handle tricky family dynamics without guilt, and why it’s important not to throw around the ‘D’ word. For those re-entering the dating scene in midlife, Anna offers empowering advice on embracing your worth, seeking companionship or romance, and approaching dating with confidence in your 40s and 50s.


    Packed with humour, honesty, and actionable advice, this episode is a supportive, relatable conversation for anyone juggling relationships, family expectations, festive pressure, and the emotional load of midlife.

  • Emma Bardwell | Why Fibre Might Be the Midlife Superpower You’re Missing

    Emma Bardwell | Why Fibre Might Be the Midlife Superpower You’re Missing
    Nov 25 2025
    In this fun, laugh-filled and genuinely eye-opening episode, Michelle Ford sits down with women’s health nutritionist Emma Bardwell to tackle one of the most underrated pillars of midlife wellbeing: fibre - the true unsung hero of women’s health. Between giggles over “poophoria” (yes, it’s a thing!) and some serious myth-busting, Michelle and Emma unpack why getting enough fibre and protein is essential - especially if you’re using GLP-1 weight-loss injections like Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro. As Emma explains, these medications slow digestion, making fibre even more important for gut motility, nutrient absorption and long-term health.Forget fibre’s dusty, boring reputation - this episode gives it a full glow-up. Through perimenopause and menopause, when hormones fluctuate and the gut becomes increasingly linked to mood, energy and resilience, fibre becomes a midlife powerhouse. Michelle and Emma explore how nourishing your gut supports immunity, mental wellbeing, metabolism and overall vitality, and why our midlife microbiome deserves centre stage. With Emma’s straight-talking, practical approach, you’ll learn simple, everyday ways to boost your fibre intake - no chia-seed obsession required.By the end, you’ll never look at your plate (or your bowel movements!) the same way again.🎙️ Key Insights • Fibre lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer • A high-fibre diet reduces inflammation and supports a stronger immune system • Good gut health boosts brain health and emotional wellbeing • Fibre may help remove microplastics from the body • Protein + fibre is the midlife power combo - stabilising energy, supporting hormone balance and improving satiety • Talking openly about gut health (and yes, poo!) helps normalise midlife wellbeingResources: 📘 Emma Bardwell Website: emmabardwell.com 📸 Instagram: @emma.bardwell The Fibre Effect is published February 2026 The 30g Plan is available in all good bookshopsConnect with Us:🌟 Website: TwoWomenChatting.com 📸 Instagram: @michelleford_twc 🐦 Twitter/X: @ChattingTwo 📘 Facebook: Two Women Chatting 📺 YouTube: TwoWomenChatting 🎵 TikTok: @twowomenchatting0🎧 This episode was produced and edited by Emma Tindall.👉 If you enjoyed this conversation, make sure to follow Two Women Chatting on your favourite podcast platform so you never miss an episode.
