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. Walking This Way is produced by The Good Studio.

Move every day: Rethinking exercise and fitness in midlife - with Robyn Phillips

Hello again, Rockstars – and happy New Year! Welcome to the very first episode of 2026.

In this episode of Walking This Way, I’m joined by one of my favourite humans, longest-standing friends, and the original “move every day” inspiration in my life – the brilliant Robyn Phillips.

Robyn is a registered osteopath, movement advocate and fierce challenger of the idea that ageing automatically means slowing down or living in pain. She trained while raising two small children, rebuilt her strength after breast cancer, and lives her message every single day: ability matters more than age.

This conversation is honest, funny, deeply practical – and exactly what so many midlife women need as we step into a new year without pressure, perfection or punishing resolutions.

Tune in to hear us talking about:

Why “move every day” doesn’t mean exercise – and definitely doesn’t mean suffering
How movement builds confidence, independence and connection as we age
Running, knees, aches, menopause and the myths that stop women even starting
Why fitness plans fail – and what actually works for life
Ageing well, fear of falling, and why doing too much for older people can be unhelpful
Creating a personal “movement toolbox” for energy, joy and resilience

And because this is Walking This Way, I also share:

Christmas reflections, family expectations and learning to let go
Cold water dips, hot tubs, saunas and why water is my happy place
Why I don’t do New Year’s resolutions – and what I’m choosing instead

Plus, I answer your brilliant voice notes and messages from listeners around the world, covering:

Resetting gently after a tough year
Body acceptance, wobbly bits and self-worth
Recovery, resilience and becoming “better than before”
Divorce, fresh starts and the importance of kindness to yourself
