043 3 Steps to Effortless Relationships - with Midlife Coach Rebecca Perkins - a podcast by Ané Auret

Today I have the latest episode of The Ready for Love Podcast for you - and I'm really so excited to introduce my special guest to you.

Rebecca Perkins, The Midlife Coach is the co-founder of Irresistible Dating and author of Best Knickers Always: 50 Lessons for Midlife - and she’s absolutely passionate about reinventing midlife.

Following her divorce, Rebecca found herself single at 45, and set about online dating. She loves sharing her experience and expertise as a coach with clients, guiding them into the right mindset for dating success. Midlife has taught her to be open-minded, to take more risks, to enjoy the simple things and to live each and every day with the question, ‘If not now, when?’ She lives by the sea in South Wales and enjoys celebrating life after 50.

As much as we tried to keep this interview to a more reasonable length we just couldn't stop talking :) – so yes it’s a bit of a marathon session, but I hope you find as much value and inspiration as I did in listening to Rebecca’s story and her wonderful wisdom and experience she so generously shares.

It really is a real-life story of reinvention and reconnection to self, to our truth and that inner guiding light that keeps us going no matter what.

Aside from Rebecca's 3 Steps to Effortless Relationships we also talk about:

- Rebecca’s definition and views on midlife and ‘midlife’ crisis’ – we compare notes between me being almost 42 and Rebecca being almost 54 (but still feeling like we're in our twenties!)
- Why does it take some sort of life crisis to wake us up and why do we let ourselves go to the point where this needs to be happen before we ‘get back to ourselves’
- The perils of getting ‘comfortable in our discomfort’ and being ‘ok’ with things just being ‘ok’
- How good life can be when we’re fully awake to it
- The power of asking ourselves the right questions and being aware of the stories we tell ourselves
- The poignant story behind the title of Rebecca’s book: “Best Knickers Always – 50 Lessons for Midlife“
- How the first relationship after a divorce can sometimes exacerbate the unresolved pin, grief and trauma of a divorce
- Rebecca shares her own journey of suffering depression and going through her own divorce experience
- Trusting that there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel and that something beautiful and different can come out of your darkest days
- Midlife dating and the biggest hurdles and mistakes some people make as they embark on their midlife dating journey + the only question you really need to ask yourself when dating
- What do people do that are successful at midlife dating

Come and join us!
