April 5, 2026 · 45 min

Show notes

Lorraine & Trish are joined by cognitive scientist Katherine Templar-Lewis who explains why midlife is a period of peak uncertainty & what is really happening to our brains when it feels like the old maps we navigated life by don’t work for us any more. Learn how to use ‘interosception’ to tune into your emotions, reframe your thoughts, calm your brain & nervous system so you can flourish, be imaginative and creative in times of uncertainty. 


Plus: practical, reassuring advice for parents with kids embarking on gap year travels & an unexpected porridge palaver
