"“Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” This famous line from an old TV commercial is part of the American lexicon. It is often used as part of a joke, perhaps because the TV commercial was so hokey." - https://lnkd.in/gRzYkRPg

A recent survey found that almost half of UK adults haven't made a Will, with many preferring to watch TV instead of dealing with their final wishes. Surprisingly, 48% of those over 30 have it on their to-do list, but many still procrastinate for more than a year before starting the process. A further 1 in 10 have started but not finished their Will, and 32% don't know where to start! https://bit.ly/3TyklOT This leaves many at risk of not having their wishes fulfilled after they pass away. So if you're one of the many who have yet to get your estate in order, turn off the TV and reach out to us on... 📞 07505 643065 📧 Peter@earleestateplanning.com 🌐 https://bit.ly/4asEfR6 #estateplanning #willsandtrusts #estateplanningservices

A really well-articulated post about work-life balance in midlife. This bit, I think, in particular: "𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝗧𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝟰𝟱+), 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲; 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 (𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲) 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗔 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴." Here's to all three of those things - this is why I'm thankful that I work in technology, media and telecoms - there's always something new! #WorkLifeBalance #MidlifeLeadership #CareerDevelopment #Leadership #FlexibilityAtWork #ContinuousLearning #Telecoms #MidlifeCareer #EmployeeWellbeing #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceCulture #CareerGrowth #thanksgiving

This is a really thoughtful article about Zoe’s Ball’s resignation from the Radio 2 breakfast show. I don’t know Zoe, but watching from afar I notice the very definition of a ‘midlife collision’ - a term I coined in my book ‘Revolting Women’. At 55, she loses her mum; is diagnosed with ADHD and splits from her partner. She was heavily criticised by listeners for her extended break from her DJ role after her mum died (because of her high salary), but grief doesn’t recognise big bucks. It can simply fell you. There are commonly three phases to midlife: To stop To pause To change It’s time for organisations to take the midlife collision more seriously. It’s not necessarily gendered (particularly when it comes to grief and health) but when women experience the menopause and caring for parents/children alongside more collision factors, it can be particularly acute. That’s the point you lose your valuable talent. Organisations invest in their leaders. To retain their leaders (usually aged 45+), they also need to understand midlife; the likely collision AND then (after the pause) the desire to make the most of the next chapter. A chapter that deserves flexibility, fascinating work and ongoing learning. There are still SO many conversations to still be had about midlife and leadership. This is just the beginning!

Yesterday we launched the latest iteration of the Looking Glass Survey to gauge how life in the industry is impacting the mental health of people across the UK working in film, TV, and cinema. It continues to be an incredibly tough environment for many so, even while we recognise that survey fatigue is real, it’s SO important that we hear from as many people as possible. Whether you’re a permanent employee or a freelancer, working on production or anywhere else in the screen industries, please take the time to tell us how you’re feeling. It’s only through your stories that we can tailor our support, and it’s only with your insights that we can present the case for change to the industry at large. Together, we can rewrite the script. #WeAreFilmandTV #LookingGlass24

Dr. Stack raises concerns about the impact of excessive TV watching on human behaviour, particularly how it can increase the likelihood of aggressive behaviors in those who excessively consume violent TV content. This study reinforces previous findings and underscores the importance of acknowledging this issue, especially in light of the prevalent levels of violence in our societies and globally. For more information on this study, you can visit: [Link to the Study](https://lnkd.in/ewstjbS5).

Our family's move from Phoenix to Northern California was a complete comedy of errors. Here's what happened: 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟭: 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲. We had 18-month-old twins, and this was at the height of COVID, so we didn't want to take them on planes. It's a 12+ hr drive that we had to complete in one go, as California had a hotel restriction for out-of-state travelers at the time. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟮: 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝟯 𝗮𝗺. We thought surely our daughters would sleep, they were babies, and babies typically sleep well in the car. They did not sleep. AT ALL. And I mean, AT ALL. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟯: 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱) If you've never hauled a trailer, you may not know this (we didn't!), but your gas mileage goes down—a lot-- and quickly. As we approached empty, we saw a town called "Desert Center" ahead. Surely, Desert Center would have a gas station, right? Nope. It's a literal ghost town. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟰: 𝗪𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝟱 𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀. The nearest town was over 30 miles away. We had to wait for AAA for nearly 2 hours. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟱: 𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. We saved these tablets as a last resort so that the girls could watch an episode or two of Daniel Tiger if all hell was breaking loose (which it was, remember: they didn't sleep, AT ALL) Unfortunately, the tablets made the girls car sick and we ended up pulling over (multiple times) to clean up. Despite the sheer and utter chaos of this drive, something beautiful also happened. 𝗪𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗱. 𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘁. It was all that we could do. Life doesn’t always follow our plans. Sometimes, it takes us on detours we never anticipated. But in those unexpected moments, we learn to roll with the punches, laugh at the craziness, and embrace what life throws our way. Here’s to the messy, unplanned adventures—the ones that shape us and remind us that sometimes, all we can do is laugh and keep moving forward. P.S. Picture of Desert Center. :)

10 harm reduction, psychology and legal notes for producers/viewers of “Maid” 1. AA (called “meetings”) is depicted as bullshit excuse for explaining male abusiveness and irresponsiblity 2. Harm reduction is assumed: the star drinks beer and wine while writing and socializing 3. Even more so her mother drinks and smokes grass despite her obvious psychiatric disabilities 4. Every character is depicted as complex: the husband especially is tender towards their child and understanding of her mother while he abuses and controls her then completely collapses 5. After recognizing her childhood trauma she reconnects with her abusive husband and creates the identical trauma that she experienced for her own daughter — thus proving? 6. Legal note: they’re not going to let you move to another state with your child just because you claim 5 without documentation 7. Is the father she rejects actually now a decent guy? 8. Explain to me why she only has sex with her abusive husband and rejects the good looking guy who helps her every way that he can 9. Should she be a little less attached to her incredibly winsome daughter? 10. Wasn’t she a writer before going to college in Montana to learn to be a writer?

TV shows, movies, and ads often portray unrealistic beauty standards that can undermine recovery. Here’s how to approach media consumption with care: Be critical of what you watch—many shows glamorize unattainable ideals. Choose content that celebrates diverse bodies and realistic lifestyles. Limit exposure to weight-loss ads or makeover shows that perpetuate harmful messages. Reflect on how certain portrayals make you feel and step away if they are triggering. Recovery means reshaping how you see yourself—and that includes filtering out media that doesn’t align with your healing journey.
