Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing

You said you weren’t going to today. And yet here you are, on the sofa with a cup of tea, three biscuits down and no real memory of deciding to open the packet. Or it’s Thursday, you’ve had a rubbish week, and the first glass of wine has somehow become the third. This isn’t a willpower problem. It’s reaction mode: the state where stress, busyness and the pressure you put on yourself push your brai...

What happens when someone who gave up dieting six years ago drops her calories by just 300 a day? Apparently, a full-blown flashback. Within days the food noise was back. So was the bargaining (“if I skip this at lunch, I can still have that dinner”), along with the 5pm “sod it, I’ll eat anything that isn’t nailed down” moment I’d honestly forgotten used to be my normal. I lasted less than a week....

You've decided you're done. Done with the tracking, the rules, the constant second-guessing around food. So the obvious next move is to just... stop, right? Not so fast. In this episode I'm breaking down why "just stop dieting" is some of the worst advice you can give someone who's spent years - maybe decades - relying on diets to keep them on the straight and narrow. I share what happened when I...

If you've been listening to the last couple of episodes (or seeing my posts and emails) about Ditch the Diets and thinking "sounds great, but how does this actually work for me" - this one's for you. I'll walk you through what's inside, how the 3 days of live coaching works, and answering the two questions I get asked every single time. This is for you if you're sick of the time, effort and brain...

September hits and suddenly you're "recommitting" — new plan, four workouts a week, 100g of protein, daily meditation, all of it, all at once. By November you're the person who's cold, tired, buried in Christmas admin, and quietly furious at the version of you who made these plans in the first place. This week I'm breaking down why autumn fitness resets fail on a schedule (roughly: about the time...

You've had a good week. Sleep's sorted, workouts are happening, dinner's planned. Then Thursday rolls round and you blow the whole thing up for no reason you can actually point to. This week I'm unpacking why self-sabotage doesn't show up when things are falling apart but actually when they're finally going right. Turns out your brain isn't broken... In this episode: Why "unfamiliar" gets read by...

After five years and 250+ episodes, I'm taking a short break from the podcast to focus on my biggest goal right now: working with more women and building the next chapter of Life Edit. This isn't goodbye - it's a strategic pause. The plan is to be back in the autumn, and in the meantime, all 250+ episodes are still there waiting for you to explore.

If you've tried intuitive eating, nervous system work, or mindful eating to fix your relationship with food and found it just didn't stick — this episode is for you. This week we're getting into why these approaches, as brilliant as they are, so often fall flat for women who've spent years in diet culture, dealing with emotional eating, and cycling through the stop dieting / start again loop. In t...

If you're ready to stop dieting but keep getting pulled back in, this episode is for you. Whether you've been asking yourself how to stop emotional eating, whether food freedom and weight loss can coexist, or why your diet isn't working despite your best efforts - the answer might not be what you think. And in this episode, I’m unpacking the one belief quietly keeping you trapped in the diet cycle...

You're scrolling Instagram and suddenly - there it is. The beach body pic. The skinny celebrity. Your friend’s sudden weight loss. Body triggers that you’re experiencing every single day. And of course that voice that says “you should be doing that too” - whether it’s weight loss medication, a new diet or that 28-day bikini body challenge. The thing is, body triggers and changing emotions about yo...

Body positivity, body acceptance and learning to love your body in the last few years felt like real progress - not perfect, but better than what we experienced in our teens and twenties. But you can’t have helped noticing that lately - skinny celebrities, impossible beauty standards and even microdosing of weight loss drugs is in. The pendulum has swung - hard and fast - and it feels like we've b...

You love the sun and the warmth - but with it comes that summer “bikini body dread”. What will I look like in a bikini? Can I wear sleeveless tops? Why do I still feel like this even though I swore I'd sort it out last year? In this episode, I'm breaking down why body image anxiety happens at this time of year, what's really driving that panic, and how to be more confident this summer without havi...

In this week's episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Priya Tew — dietitian, eating disorder specialist, and someone who truly gets it because she's lived it. We're diving into the binge restrict cycle: that exhausting pattern of being "on it" one week and completely "off it" the next. If you're on a journey of binge eating recovery, or you're just starting to ask how to heal your relationship with...

Let’s be honest, we all live in a world where worth is measured through the lens of “masculine energy”. In other words, we’ve elevated things like self control and all or nothing thinking as the key to keeping us on track and successful. But what if that approach is simply leaving you more disconnected from yourself, your body and the very consistency that you’re craving? In this episode we’ll exp...

More and more I’m seeing women wanting to stop yo-yo dieting for good, and leave the binge restrict cycle and the associated emotional and stress eating behind. But at the same time, they may still have weight loss goals, and want to ensure they’re still focusing on their health. So a few weeks ago I ran a brand new mini group coaching experience called Done with Diets - and noticed a few recurrin...

You might have heard a lot of talk about high cortisol and perimenopause, the link between cortisol and weight loss and how we should all be aiming for lower cortisol and better nervous system regulation. But the biggie, of course, is the link between cortisol and belly fat. So in this episode, we’re going a little bit deeper to talk about not just the link between stress and more fat around the t...

We’re constantly told that if we want to reach our long term fitness goals, we need to move faster. Work harder. Push more. But what if that constant rush is actually the very thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, I’m exploring why chasing quick wins often leads to burnout, inconsistency and frustration - and how we can get strategic about speed for sustainable fitness, sustainable weight loss...

I’m going to take a wild guess — you’re a bit blind to your own brilliance. You second guess yourself. You overthink. You flirt with imposter syndrome. And while you’re trying to build confidence or develop self belief, you’re still quietly underestimating the very qualities that make you powerful. In this episode, we’re diving into self awareness and identity work - because the problem isn’t your...

This week I’m doing something a little different. Because I’m talking about the collective rage (or helplessness) many of us might be feeling about the state of the world right now. And how we can use that to actually stop shrinking…and instead have an amazing impact on the world. How we personally can empower ourselves through things like redefining productivity, learning to rest without guilt, o...
