SPEAKER_01: 0:02

Welcome to Midlife Unlimited, the podcast for women who want more. I'm your host, Kate Porter, the midlife metamorphosis coach, and I know what it's like to feel stuck navigating the midlife maze. I've looked in the mirror and thought, who is that woman? So Midlife Unlimited is here to let you know you are not alone. You don't have to put on a brave face and put up with it. You don't have to play it safe. Midlife Unlimited is is all about ripping off that mask and telling midlife how it really is. Smashing stereotypes, busting myths and misbehaving because our second spring is our time to shine our way. So, welcome to today's episode. Now, as I just said, Midlife Unlimited is all about smashing stereotypes and leaping out of our comfort zone, finding something that lights us up. But so many of the women I coach feel like they are stagnating in the midlife swamp. Lost sight of their mojo. They've lost sight of who they are. Now, we don't want to turn back the clock to when we were 30 or 40 because we've been there and we've done that. But our midlife is a fabulous time to reawaken the dreams that we had then, but we've put on the good old backburner. And my guest today epitomizes doing just that. So I'm delighted to be joined by Adela May, sustainable business coach and founder of Jackdaw, to talk about how to turn your biker dreams into reality at 50. So welcome, Adela. It's wonderful to have you here.

SPEAKER_00: 1:50

Hi there, Kate. It's lovely to be talking to you today. Thank you very much for having me.

SPEAKER_01: 1:56

Now, when I was thinking of who to invite to come on an episode to talk about turning dreams in reality, you really were the obvious choice because you had a long held desire, but you'd almost forgotten you wanted to do it or dismissed it. So for the lovely listeners, can you please say what it was that you have started doing?

SPEAKER_00: 2:23

Well, Kate, when I turned 50, I had a moment of either madness or clarity. Either is equally appropriate. And I realised that I wanted to learn to ride a motorbike. But more than that, I started remembering... all through my teens, my early 20s, riding pillion with friends, doing some silly, crazy stunts in Bali on holiday, you know, all on the back of a motorbike. And somehow along the line, I'd actually forgotten that I wanted to learn to ride one instead of just riding on the back generally with a guy on his bike. So that was the hitting 50 realisation.

SPEAKER_01: 3:06

That's quite incredible.

UNKNOWN: 3:10

And...

SPEAKER_01: 3:11

It's something that you think, well, yes, you know, it's a bit dangerous. It's a bit risky. But you did it all by the book when it came to having all the lessons. And how did the actual test go? Were you nervous? Was there a lot of revision involved? Or was it just a matter of getting on and driving it?

SPEAKER_00: 3:31

Well, my... My bike journey was not very straightforward when I decided I wanted to learn. First I had to find an instructor and one of the first... Little problems was there was a massive backlog after that thing called lockdown that we had, which seems like a very long time ago. But all of the bike training had obviously been paused and paused and paused. So when I found my first, well, few instructors, most either couldn't teach me, wouldn't teach me or didn't have space to teach me. So that was the first hurdle. And then I finally did find someone who was recommended who taught me my first C Which is like the day that you do to start acclimating to, you know, bike controls and riding actually on a road. And the first drama was probably an eight hour one to one private lesson with my instructor. Riding around Bridgewater, and I know you're in a different part of the country, but riding around Bridgewater, Friday afternoon, rush hour traffic on a moped, 20 miles an hour, holding up all the traffic over a bypass in a hailstorm. And that was how I got my CBT. Finally, it was about eight o'clock at night when my instructor said, passed me because I had to learn some maneuvers and U-turns and all sorts of stuff. And it was probably one of the most grueling experiences I've ever had. And that was just the beginning of getting my license.

SPEAKER_01: 5:10

so now I know later on you're going to be sharing your advice with our lovely listeners for finding the motivation to turn dreams into reality but what on earth was it that kept you going during that eight hours in a snowstorm I mean I'm getting a bit sweaty just thinking about it and I think I think we're going to be talking about hot flushes and motorbiking as well later on

SPEAKER_00: 5:33

we are I think you know once I decided to do it then there isn't any turning back and the the thing that kind of really triggered me into learning was a friend of mine had stayed where I live I mean you know this I live near Glastonbury Music Festival so during the summer a friend had stayed and left his bike in my garage for quite a few months and I was going in and sitting on it and visualising and pretending it was mine it felt really silly to begin with and then I thought well actually I could do this I can move it I can sit on it I was you know doing the whole visualizing thing on it. And it was when he came and took his bike back that I was actually really, I was quite heartbroken, to be honest. So when I was doing my first training, I thought, well, I'm never going to live it down if I don't do this and if I don't keep going. So that was partly the reason out of sheer pride, determination that I wasn't going to message him saying oh I didn't pass my CBT because I'm completely shit so I did it and to be fair my instructor was amazing like I'm really you know a big advocate for finding people to support you when you want to do anything like we don't do anything alone we always have to have people cheering for us and he was absolutely amazing and he did get utterly soaked on the um on the cbt in the hail storm i can't repeat what he actually said when we got back because you'd have to bleep it out but it was having someone who believed in me that that really got me through to to finish and then i went on for the other two uh tests that you have to take which and that's a whole nother story we can go into if you want

SPEAKER_01: 7:25

oh absolutely

SPEAKER_00: 7:26

absolutely So the first part of the test to get your license, for anyone who doesn't know, you have to actually take an off-ride test and an on-road test on quite a big bike in order to get your full UK bike license anyway. So the first test we rode into this compound where you've got, you know, traffic cones and you need to do these maneuvers and there's an instructor, like in a high-vis jack, jacket and I rode in on the bike and it was late May just before my birthday and went to start the test had a hot flush completely froze had a complete moment and my instructors peering through the gate indicating looking at me going like what the fuck basically and he realised there was a little bit of a problem so he had to come in through the gates and and literally de-robed me with my permission, took the jacket off. I had a base layer. I had a body warmer. And he looked at me and said, why are you wearing all these layers of clothes? It's like it was actually over 30 degrees. It was a really random hot day. And he looked at me and realized I just got into shock. And he literally had to get the side stand down on the bike and peel me off it and sort of walk me out and put me into the shade, get me a glass of water. So I didn't pass that day. I had to go back and do it again. So that's when I first realised I might be going through some menopausal symptoms with the hot flushes.

SPEAKER_01: 9:16

So you mentioned earlier, about visualising sitting on your friend's bike. And when you were doing that, did you have a specific model of bike in mind? Did you want the bike, the same bike that your friend had? And have you actually got that bike, your dream bike now?

SPEAKER_00: 9:35

So it was the same bike that he had. And I did get the same, not obviously the exact same bike. That was his bike. It was a Triumph Street Twin 900. And then because I had this kind of romantic vision of us riding off into the sunset on matching motorbikes, as you do. And then he sold his and bought something else. So, yes, I did actually get the bike. Yeah. And when I went to find it, actually, I took a picture or a friend took a picture of me sitting on it and I put it as a screensaver on my phone and literally would sit there every day doing the whole visualization. Because there was nearly a year between getting my first test and then getting my final test. So I literally was just visualizing, visualizing, because I was really quite slow and rubbish, to be honest. And when I was learning, it didn't come naturally. And I think that is a little downside of learning. to ride when you're much older it just wasn't quick for me to pick up so we just had to have lots of extra lessons and um and just remember not to wear too much gear when it was really hot

SPEAKER_01: 10:52

but was was it the thought of being out on the open road with yourself on your own in in that space was that one of the things that kept you motivated because as you say it was a tough slog to get the license?

SPEAKER_00: 11:05

It was a tough slog. And I think part of it was when you start, or when I started feeling the freedom that came with it, not being in a car where you're very protected, you've got a seatbelt, to just start getting a sense for even the speed. And I don't mean ridiculous 100 miles an hour or anything like that, but you're riding very connected to the road, to nature. when you're riding like in the countryside and you you get this real sense of connection and being like with the elements and that's something i hadn't felt before maybe you might get it skiing i don't know something like that but it was that connection realizing that actually i feel alive i feel clear i feel confident and with all the menopause muddle that was going on. I hadn't felt like that for ages. I'd been foggy. I'd felt heavy. I'd got depressed, you know, to be honest with a lot of it, not understanding that my hormones were just absolutely all over the place. And I actually did some research into it, and it's not uncommon for women to get to menopause and then suddenly decide they want to ride a motorbike. Really? Yeah, I did some research because I wanted to write an article about it. There's a couple of websites. It's all women basically saying, you know, hashtag me too. I got to menopause. I got to 50. And almost like out of the blue, suddenly decided to ride a motorbike. So I don't know if that's, I don't know, a midlife crisis or your body's just going, hurrah, I'm free. Let's go for

SPEAKER_01: 12:56

it. Let's go. Because like you were just saying about the speed. I mean, one thing when I picture biking, I think adrenaline. But one thing you said to me before was actually adrenaline. it makes you feel calmer and that's something you just touched on. It

SPEAKER_00: 13:13

does because you need to be absolutely focused. You need to be paying attention to how your body's feeling. Your mind has to be clear. When you're riding a bike, you can't be thinking about what you're going to buy in the supermarket. You need to be so hyper-vigilant of all the cars around you, all the surroundings. You've got to be acutely aware of what's going on because any very small mistake, you can be off the bike and it's probably going to be quite messy. So you just end up going into almost like a meditation. You're riding, you're feeling the bike, you're feeling like your brakes, everything. And really, really like becoming at one with everything. with your surroundings. Keanu Reeves talks about this all the time. He's like really into biking. I didn't know that till I became a biker, but it's all about this, um, like Zen-ness that you, that you become when you're, when you're riding because nothing else comes into it really, which I think is why it's so good for your mental health. And I, I'd also really not expected that to be, you know, a benefit of riding. And the more I talk to people, the more they say, yeah, absolutely. Through the winter when they're not riding so much, you know, it's really noticeable your mental health isn't so good. When the weather's warmer out riding, you're calmer, you're clearer. And it literally is like, you know, a medicine for healthy mental health, for sure.

SPEAKER_01: 14:51

so I don't another thing that you've really found is the whole community as well kind of meeting a wide range of people I would have thought

SPEAKER_00: 15:01

yeah and that's fascinating because I bumped into um a lady working in a bike accessory shop who just took me under her wing helped me get a helmet helped me buy my gear you know I didn't know what clothes you needed to buy or anything. She just helped me with all of it and invited me to her biker. I call it a biker gang. It's not a gang, really. It's a breakfast club where basically people meet up, they have breakfast, and then they go for a ride afterwards. So she invited me to that, and I was ridiculously nervous because I was, to begin with, on my little 125 before I got my license. So I was slower than everyone, newer than everyone. I was actually younger than everybody. And I just realized that nobody cared. All we needed in common was that we rode a bike and there was no judgment. There was no, you know, better than you or anything like that. It was just complete acceptance. Oh, you're into biking. Great. Do you want to sit with me kind of thing? And you had this instant community of, with the added thing that you're also more like family really because when you're riding you're actually looking out for other people's lives when you're when you're out in a group and there's this sense of camaraderie that I don't think I've ever had in my life um and you know until I started with with the biking it's quite it's quite wonderful and

SPEAKER_01: 16:35

I love as well how you've Absolutely. Well, that was...

SPEAKER_00: 16:51

partly through doing some amazing press work with our lovely mutual friends, Amanda Fitzgerald. She's also been a guest on Midlife Unlimited, yeah. She has, she has, absolutely. So I saw that they were doing an annual women's meetup, physical one, it had to be called Big Sausage Cafe or something, whatever. So... Yeah. I absolutely believe if I can do it, anyone can, because I was a really slow learner. I'm not self-deprecating. I really, really was. I was so nervous. I just couldn't get it right for a long, long time. And I wanted to show other people, you know, look, this is what happens if you follow your passion and you don't give up and you ask for help and you just keep going. So we rode up there and I did my first reel on Instagram of the journey. And she interviewed me in person and I wasn't sure if it was going to be published, but basically they did a full page spread of several stories from women bikers. And they had a photographer up there as well. And then I was published in the women's supplement. I couldn't believe it. And yeah, I actually went to a client meeting near Exeter, walked in the room. There's a group of guys around a table. They made me a cup of tea. It was very sweet. They had a plate of biscuits for me when I came in and I all sat down with their pens and notepads ready. And one of them just looked at me sort of funny and I just thought, did i do something and i said why are you looking at me funny and he said i didn't know you were a biker and i'm like i didn't know you knew i was a biker he said basically mcn so that's motorcycle news uh most people subscribe to it every week so he basically got it delivered opened it up and saw me and fell on the floor thinking, what? She's coming to do a business meeting with us later. What's she doing in MCN? So it was just so, so lovely. And it broke the ice a bit with the meeting. And we all had, you know, really had a lovely time and got to talk about bikes as well.

SPEAKER_01: 19:27

Oh, I love that. Now, one thing as well, and we're all about smashing stereotypes here at Midlife Unlimited. You think biker, you think petrolhead. And obviously you're passionate about sustainability. But it's a myth, isn't it? It's a misconception. And you're proving that your bike makes you a cleaner, greener person.

SPEAKER_00: 19:51

Well, I hope so. I mean, to be fair, I do in some of my work, I get involved with carbon footprinting and reducing emissions. And when I look at it, We all have very different situations in our lives. So for me, if you think about our impact on the planet, I don't fly at all actually at the moment, but I don't do international flights. I've got a very, very low carbon footprint generally. So for me... When I look at my lifestyle, my work, it's all online. I have a car and I have a bike. So I decided to just make a commitment whenever possible, I would ride the bike instead of the car, keep my emissions down, you know, do my bit for the planet. And then I was actually talking this to a friend of mine earlier. If you imagine everyone has like a carbon allocation or something like that. So we can actually choose where we have our negative impact. So for some people, it might be flying regularly. For other people, it might be they might have family abroad they need to fly or they might go on lots of international holidays. There's nothing wrong with any of that. But if I'm choosing, okay, if I have a certain amount of carbon, let's call them credits, where do I want to spend them? So for me, I'll spend them riding my bike and then I won't spend them elsewhere. So it's sacrificing some things and just being mindful that of course being a petrol head isn't particularly the most positive thing for the planet. But if anyone wanted to scrutinize my carbon footprint, I think they would find it's ridiculously low. So that's just the one i think the article actually said this in um it might have been the telegraph i was featured in said it's kind of like a bit of a deadly sin uh being an environmentalist and also you know being a petrol head but hopefully i'm finding a way where those two things can can happen at the same time. I don't think it should be either or. And at the end of the day, we have a right to follow our passions and have a little bit of fun in amongst all of the rest of the chaos and the work and everything else that's going on with the state of the planet as it is at the moment.

SPEAKER_01: 22:10

Absolutely. I say mental health. You've mentioned the benefits of that. But one thing you did mention when we were chatting before that I loved in terms of being organized and your routine with your top box on your bike the fact that you you actually don't use your car when you go shopping now you've explained

SPEAKER_00: 22:29

so yeah I realized that you know I need to you know you need to walk my walk my talk so I can I have a top box on the back of the bike so I'll nip up to usually it's the we've got a little mini waitrose here And I know how much I can fit in there. Not quite a weekly shopping. And obviously, I can't put my sort of nine rolls of toilet paper in there. But I can pretty much get, you know, a good few days food supply in there if I pack it sensibly. And then, of course, I can take a little rucksack with me. And I was leaving one time doing that. And this guy had parked up next to me in this huge SUV car. and he'd not left me enough space to get back on the bike. So I was all busy sort of tutting, waiting for him to come back so I could sort of ask him to move his over, you know, over large vehicle. But he basically came over and instead of getting in the car, he was staring at my bike. And I thought, oh, here we go. He's going to tell me off or something. And he just said, wow, you're one cool chick. And I was like, wow, thank you. Do you ride? And he said, no, he'd always wanted to ride, but he felt he was too old. And I just laughed and said, I think I'm older than you. I literally learned like just last year. I said, you're never too late. Why are you, you know, what's stopping you? And he said, well, his wife probably wouldn't approve and his kids probably wouldn't approve. And I said, well, I think your wife might approve. And I think your kids will probably think you're really cool. So he drove off and I didn't think anything more of it. And a few months later, same car park, same waitrose. I just was parking up my bike and he was there and he came walking over with the biggest grin on his face ever. And he said, do you remember me? And I said, yeah, yeah, of course I do. How are you? And he said, I just bought my first motorbike and he'd gone to ride and he bought himself a little bike and he was riding around on his own. And he just said, he just pointed at me and went, you did this. You inspired me to do this. Thank you. And I was like, I just burst into tears. It was amazing. And then I said, so what did you kids think? And he said, well, my boys think it's fucking brilliant.

UNKNOWN: 24:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 25:00

And I said, and what did your wife say? He said, well, she just sort of rolled her eyes a bit, but she didn't say anything. So I just thought it was a lovely story that I really thought I just inspire other women to ride. I had no idea I could actually inspire, you know, a guy to ride as well. So that was so lovely.

SPEAKER_01: 25:21

Oh, I think that's absolutely fabulous. Well, that is what I love a segue. That is a wonderful segue to lead into your three bits advice to anyone listening that has got something they want to do, but just can't seem to take that step. to get that momentum? Because it is tough. It's not necessarily easy, but sometimes when things are a bit tough, it makes them almost more enjoyable when we achieve them. So what would your first tip be, Adela?

SPEAKER_00: 25:52

Well, for me, it would be find your own flow because it's different for everyone. I'm certainly not saying... Anyone out there who hits menopause, you need to go and learn to ride a motorbike. I don't think it would work for everybody, but it's about finding your own flow. What is it that you, you know, your soul's calling out for? What is it that you need to do for you and go on a little bit of a journey with it and find out? Well,

SPEAKER_01: 26:20

that's the first one. And that flows. We like flow. We like flow. Yeah. Yeah. That flows into your second one, follow your passion.

SPEAKER_00: 26:31

Yeah, follow your passion. And I think when you asked me earlier, like how did I get through my sort of torturous CBT that first day, because it was freezing and it was a really big hailstorm. But when I found my passion, it's like you just follow it and you follow it like a trail of breadcrumbs. You just follow it even if you're not sure where it's going to go. You just keep following it. Because it's like we're given a little insight from the universe saying, here's your passion, here's the breadcrumbs, show a bit of commitment and determination and you'll get there. And

SPEAKER_01: 27:11

I think the third thing you've already touched on, community.

SPEAKER_00: 27:16

Yeah, so it's find the others. And I think if I had just carried on on my own, I'm not sure I would have ever got off that path. 125 which is like a trainer you know training bike really it's what the bike you can ride without a full license so finding this biker community and joining them basically they would take me out help me out with things and just took me under their wing really and then encouraged me to get a bigger bike and that's that's the thing for me is I don't think we do anything on our own not really or if we're with a community it's easier we're more supported and we don't give up like I probably would have given up if I hadn't had so many people who knew that I was going through my test they wouldn't have let me give up you know they would have kept encouraging me and supporting me and then now I ride with probably well a few A couple of months ago, there was me and 11 guys went for a ride. So 12 of us all together. And I kept up with them and I didn't come off. And we all had a really good time. And there's, you know, Triumph's, Harley Davidson's, BMW's, all of it mixed up together. And it was just absolutely brilliant. So it is like finding your tribe. So you're not on your own.

SPEAKER_01: 28:35

Oh, I love it. You've been such an inspiration today. And just repeat, what do you ride now for any of the wonderful women out there who can start getting a vision board together so they can get a picture of your bike and put it on their vision board?

SPEAKER_00: 28:48

Well, I've recently swapped bikes, so I've gone for something a bit bigger, a little bit more off-roady, but it's a Triumph Street Scrambler 900, slightly off-roady bike. that's just absolutely phenomenal. And I can't wait for the weather to get a bit warmer so I can actually ride it more because I've been out, I think, five times and I just get too, too cold at the moment. So I'm really looking forward to some warm weather and then that will be on my vision board.

SPEAKER_01: 29:21

Well, I'm going to have to get a photo of you with the new bike to promote this episode so that all the listeners can see you in action. I'm ready for these questions now. Now, you know, I ask all of my fabulous female guests the same three questions, whether they like it or not, at the end of each episode. And your type... Connections dropping out. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, can't hear you, Kate. Can't hear you, Kate. Can't hear you. So you very kindly agreed to answer them for me. So the first question, what is your midlife anthem? The song that when you hear it, you think, yeah, the cheesier, the better. What song is it?

SPEAKER_00: 30:10

It's the cheesy one. It is Sia and Unstoppable. And I've even just done a little motorbike reel. So on Instagram, you can find me at ecobikerchick, of course. Of course. And it's just one of those great, Get up and go. And I put it on, you know, I have a CD. I'm that old fashioned. I actually bought the CD. I like a CD. I like a CD. And I just play that because, you know, it's upbeat. And actually, you know, it's totally relevant to being unstoppable on the bike. And it does like it generally. And I think this is why it was such a popular song. It generally speaks to me that we are unstoppable. You know, we really are. We just have to believe it.

SPEAKER_01: 30:56

I'm 100% with you on that one. 100%. I want to hear your mantra now. What is your midlife mantra? I think I

SPEAKER_00: 31:06

just said, it doesn't matter, which sounds a little bit wet, but it just means if you think people are judging, it doesn't matter. Or if I messed up a corner or something, it doesn't matter. Like actually... nothing matters because we can be so hard on ourselves we can judge ourselves and we're our own worst enemy so that really is my mantra when i get in my head about something it's like doesn't matter adela it doesn't matter like it doesn't matter and it calms me down because it just puts in perspective because nothing really actually matters at the end of

SPEAKER_01: 31:43

the day it doesn't i think it's so powerful absolutely no i'm with you on that because As you say, our inner critic can just pick up on the slightest, you know, if we feed it in the slightest way, it can build things up into being overwhelming and overthinking. So, no, I think that's a good one. I think I might borrow that every now and again. So now you're about to write your autobiography. What's the title going to be? And it can be a work in progress. Because remember, it's like goals. We can change them. We can refine them. Have you got a working title?

SPEAKER_00: 32:25

Well, I do. And it came to me when we were speaking earlier that I think this is going to be the title and I'm going to call it Unhinged. Because if this is an autobiography... I'm guessing you're going to have to keep it real. And so for me, this is a journey of regaining or reclaiming your mental health and how life really is. That's what I would want to write about. And this journey through biking has just showed me how the state that my mental health was in before, because it's so much better now and clearer. I don't know how I ever... managed to cope to be honest without having something like like biking and it doesn't have to be biking it can be whatever it is we need to basically maintain our sanity um so that's why I will call it unhinged

SPEAKER_01: 33:19

oh I love that I love that and I love our conversation today huge thank you for joining us because I think there's going to be so many women listening and they're going to be starting to think now what have I been putting on that back burner

SPEAKER_00: 33:31

hmm

What have I forgotten that I actually wanted to do? Or things that they thought, oh, I always wanted to do that, but now think, well, actually, did I want to do? Do I still want to do that? And if I don't, what do I fancy doing? What do I want to do? Yeah. What do I want to do? Well, what they might want to do, Adela, is get in contact with you. So... All your contact details are going to be in the episode show notes and on the Midlife Unlimited podcast website. But just briefly, can you just fill us in? How can we contact you? How can we connect with you?

Well, the best way is to find me on LinkedIn. And I'm Adela May, which is A-D-E-L-A-M-E-I. And if you want to follow some biking journeys for some fun, you can find me on Instagram and that's ecobikerchick. And then if you'd like to find my more professional side, you can find me on jackdawcoaching.com. And that's Jack Daw like the bird, J-A-C-K-D-A-W. And thank you very much, Kate, for having me. It's been a pleasure.
