Walking This Way

Welcome to your next Walking This Way Challenge - your fortnightly invitation to try something small, simple and quietly restorative.
These challenges are designed to fit into real life. No pressure. No perfection. No special equipment. Just a moment to pause, notice, and perhaps see the world a little differently, together.

This fortnight’s challenge: Notice the nature around you
It’s February. The days are short, life can feel busy and full, and energy can be low. This challenge invites you to take small, intentional moments to notice the nature that already exists around you — right where you are.

Not a countryside escape. Not a grand gesture. Just what’s quietly happening alongside you every day.

Inspired by the RSPB Great British Birdwatch, this challenge is a reminder that gardens, streets and local parks are alive with activity — if we slow down enough to see it.

How to try it

Choose one or two simple ways to tune in:
  • Stand outside for a minute and really listen to non-human sounds
  • Watch the birds in your garden, on your street or in the park
  • Put seed out for birds or visiting wildlife
  • Listen to the rain
  • Take one walk this week with no headphones — let nature be your soundtrack
  • Pause on a dog walk instead of rushing to tick it off the list
You don’t need to know what the birds are called. You don’t need to do anything with what you notice. Just notice.

What is Walking This Way?

Welcome to Walking This Way - the upfront, no-nonsense podcast about midlife for women who are done with pretending it’s all fine.

Join Lise Thorne for honest conversations, unfiltered stories and a good dose of humour as she explores what it really means to be a woman in midlife - from shifting priorities and changing bodies to rediscovering joy, purpose and self.

Real talk. Real women. Real midlife.

Because this isn’t about surviving midlife - it’s about walking it your way.
