Judean

What do you do when you've been so many things to so many people that you've forgotten who you actually are? After experiencing postnatal depression in 2007, Judean Lowe's GP suggested what would be a life changing alternative to medication that became a decade-long journey of rediscovery, injury, burnout, and adult gymnastics with her brother. This conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone navigating midlife, mental health, or the messy process of finding yourself. Judean opens up about why returning to gymnastics wasn't about reclaiming past ability, but was about courage, play, and discovering that midlife doesn't mean you've missed your chance. In this episode you'll learn: How to navigate what happens when the relationship with exercise stops working. What it's really like to start gymnastics as an adult. How to navigate high-energy fitness spaces as an introvert. Why discipline beats motivation every single time The one question to ask when you're finding yourself again in midlife This conversation dives into the things we don't talk about enough, the discomfort of being seen and heard, the challenge of celebrating yourself and the vulnerability of starting from scratch when you thought you had it all figured out.
