Positive Psychology & Behavioural Change with Psychologist Serena Simmons
WomenKind Collective
04/20/24 • 72 min
We kick off series 10 with a fantastic guest, chartered psychologist and founder of The Psychology School, Serena Simmons. We’ve been looking forward to chatting withSerena since we met her at Therapy Expo where she blew us away with her talk.
Serena has worked in the area of psychology and mental health for almost 30 years, she has over 22 years’ experience working in the field and is a senior lecturer at NottinghamTrent University.
She is heavily involved in a variety of forensic based work too. Serena specialises in serial murder and she still advises on a consultation basis. Much of her work now however is in the capacity of profiling and media work, for example you may have seen her in the TV series ‘Cops Who Kill’.
Serena says, ‘many people struggle to see the link between forensic psychology and positive psychology and behavioural change.’
With her speciality in effecting change using positive psychology and with so many of us in midlife trying to negotiate so many changes we wanted to hear more. We find out why making healthy lifestyle changes can be so hard, we also discuss self-care, guilt, the importance of play and serial killers- not necessarily all at the same time!
You can watch the full unedited interview on our Womenkind Collective YouTube channel.
We discuss guilt, self care (& why it's not easy), the importance of play, boundaries and much more. You will come away with some ideas of how you can to implementing some positive changes into your life.
In the Book Collective we begin our book for series 10, Unwell Women by Elinor Cleghorn, it’s got us hooked from reading the introduction. You can join in with our Book Club, send us a DM or voice note with your thoughts on the book.
We catch up on your comments and find out what we got up to on our Easter break, and Jinty tells us about the Bolivian Aymara women climbing Everest in traditional dress. It’sanother episode brimming with chat and all the usual shenanigans! So, settle in for this hour(ish) podcast full of meaningful chat.

WomenKind Collective

In our new series, we will be spilling the tea on topics that affect our health and well-being from the extra-ordinary women that are raising their voices for positive change.
This week we have a wonderful guest, Emily Courtney, or as she is better known in her online community, Mothering and the Menopause.
Emily is a Mum of three young children, including twins, and had them following a diagnosis of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI).
She had a huge struggle in the year following the birth of her twins, due to the lack of hormones and not being able to get HRT.
Emily has years of experience as a Health Visitor and Nurse and has used this to create ‘Mothering and The Menopause’, an online community support network, to ensure that no one else has to suffer like she did. Emily’s mission is to enable Mums of young children, to be the best parents possible despite dealing with the menopause. Emily chats about what it’s really like to deal with both motherhood and menopause and gives honest and frank advice for anyone going through both.
It’s a reading week for our Book Collective this week. We are reading chapters 7-12 of our new book for series 11, All Fours by Miranda July. You can join in with our Book Club, send us a DM or voice note with your thoughts on the book.
It’s another episode brimming with chat and all the usual sweary shenanigans! There’s comments, a WI (weekly invitation) and a thought for the week.

Ovarian Cancer With Patient Expert Sarah-Jane Myatt
WomenKind Collective
03/23/24 • 64 min
Series 9 FINALE. This month it is Ovarian Cancer awareness month and do you know the four main symptoms of Ovarian Cancer which are Bloating, Stomach pain, weeing more and struggling to eat? Knowing this information could be lifesaving as an early diagnosis can make all the difference. Our guest this week is someone who understands this only too well, Sarah Myatt suffered from and recognised all the classic ovarian cancer symptoms for over two years yet was repeatedly sent away from her GP surgery and told to lose weight or that her symptoms were simply because she was fat. Sarah is a warm and open human being, she comes from Manchester and describes herself as a queer fat woman, she told us that it took a Dr that was fat like her to actually listen, and six hours later she learned that she had a mass measuring 20 x 20 x 19cm filling her abdomen and eight weeks later after over eight hours of menopause inducing surgery, they discovered Sarah had 2 primary cancers, womb and Ovarian, and that it was too advanced to cure.
They told Sarah that she should see four years, she was only 42 years old. Now five years on, Sarah shares her lived experience to, not only raise awareness of these cancers but also to shed light on the medical weight stigma and bias she has experienced, the medical gaslighting, the unhelpful assumptions made by Health care professionals about her sexuality and how surgery and a gynaecological cancer diagnosis can change how we feel and experience pleasure and intimacy.
