The Thriving Women Podcast

Trigger warning, we’re talking about food noise and being overwhelmed, with a brief discussion of eating disorders.  After Chevy welcomes us with a lick to the ear, we talk lymphatic drainage, moments of pausing, and a love for butter beans and garlic. When you become obsessed with “eating the right thing” unhealthy habits can start to take over. So we’re (well, Sammie is) giving you tips to deal...

What started as a vibe check became an unhinged and hilarious chat. We do need to start with a trigger warning of talks of depression and suicidal thoughts at the start.  Mimi speaks very candidly about her struggles with depression and the little coping mechanisms to get through the tough days. If this isn’t for you, skip to 20:56! We then get into the slightly unhinged conversation of vaginal dr...

We just couldn't wait a week to release this one! We're talking about the America's Next Top Model documentary.

Trigger warning - we do mention the topic of suicide towards the end of the episode. If you are struggling...

We’re back with Syd for part 2 of our chat where she talks us through: How Thriving Woman has become part of her life Her new routine The love for Sammie’s PT sessions The importance of deep rest and recovery And the joys of having a strong community around you.

Join us for part one of our conversation with Thriving Woman, Sydney. Syd joined Sammie's programme last year and talks to us about the massive journey she's been on. We delve deep into being diagnosed with type one diabetes, her body image, and the way she used to see herself.

Trigger warning for sexual assault and domestic abuse. We understand this is a difficult subject so if this episode isn't for you we won't be offended if you don't want to listen. We're talking candidly about our past experiences and how we found our power and our voices. Shame belongs to the person that caused harm, and not with you. You have the power. It's taken us both time...

Alongside our usual tangents, we’re discussing that little thingcalled envy. When that green-eyed monster pops up, it’s ok to protect ourpeace. Self-criticism, comparing yourself to others, wanting what others have – this is natural, and it’s ok to mute or unfollow if you’re not feeling the joy. It’s hard to remember that we don’t see everything on socialmedia. Someone can appear to have the perfe...

Trigger warning, we do briefly discuss abuse towards the end of the episode. We understand this can be triggering so please skip this part if you need to. In this episode, Mimi & Sammie dive into the real meaning of feminine and masculine energy - beyond the buzzwords and aesthetics.  We chat about what it actually looks like to live in alignment with your feminine flow and your masculine driv...

The weight loss jab is everywhere - and for many women, it feels like a tempting answer in a busy, pressured season of life.

We talk appetite suppression, under-eating, stress hormones and our own experiences with the ‘all hail skinny’ mindset. Thi...

We’re fresh off the Magnetise Her dance workshop and still riding the BUZZ. This episode is high-energy, honest, and grounding all at once. We chat about clothing sizes, why numbers don’t get to define your worth, and how to let go of tying confidence to labels. Real talk, good laughs, and the kind of reminders that help you feel lighter and more at home in your body. If you want a lift in your mo...

January is… a lot. New year, new you? New goals. New pressure. New exhaustion by week two. In this episode, we’re gently binning the New Year hype and talking about why January might not be the time to overhaul your life after all. Instead, we explore the idea of coming home to yourself - tuning into your body, your energy, and what actually feels supportive right now. This episode is your permiss...

We're all going to be facing the food pressures over the Christmas holidays. Does that feeling of overindulging really serves us? Remember the power of the pause - be kind to yourself, push Nigel and Patrick away, the power really is in your hands! Happy Christmas everyone! Note from Mimi - we recorded remotely so my sound isn't great in some parts, we'll be recording together again so...

Why does a body shape need to be a trend? Is enhancing your body going to make you happier? Let's celebrate those wise lines, the laughter lines, those parts of us we love, and let's ignore Nigel and Patrick, those voices inside that don't let us thrive!  For a deeper transformation click here to work with Sammie https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoEaGA7i6J8DA6HLex1Lzg1XpClf03R...
