Break the Rules

Ever had one of those weeks where everything just feels harder?  You’re more irritated by people. Snapping at the kids. Feeling less patient. More “on edge.” Food feels louder. Your body feels more triggering. Tiny things suddenly feel massive. You feel less like yourself somehow… but you can’t really explain why. Most women assume they just need to push through… Or maybe you just brush it aside a...

You know you have body autonomy You’ve heard it time and time again, you have autonomy over what you decide to do with your body It’s your choice And yet it doesn’t actually feel like a choice Not pursuing weight loss feels uncomfortable, distressing, scary, maybe even unfathomable to you And pursuing it feels urgent, pressured and like your mood, your eating and how you feel about yourself relies...

My guess is telling yourself “nobody cares what I look like” or “stop caring what everyone else thinks” hasn’t actually helped calm your thoughts and feelings about your body has it?  You still change outfits six times, check the mirror obsessively, stress over the scale or avoid plans because of how your body looks In this episode, I break down why that common advice keeps failing you and what yo...

This week, I’m breaking down WHY that Mike Tyson Super Bowl commercial seriously missed the mark and no, I'm not "reading too much into it" We dig into why the delivery of this ad did more long term health harm than good, why body size does not equal health and why simplistic “eat real food” messaging misses the complexity of health and sustainable behaviour change. Along the way, I...

Do you feel like certain foods make you “lose control”? Like once chocolate, cake or carbs are around, it’s only a matter of time?

If yes, I’m going to tell you WHY this is Because overeating is not a food problem or a willpower problem (A...

Hand up if you relate… One minute you’re trying to stay “on track,” the next you’ve blown it and feel like you’re back at square one, on repeat and you keep blaming yourself (or your willpower) Or maybe you’ve had moments where you know food doesn’t really help you feel less stressed the moment all hell has broken loose at home but you still fall head first into the kids penguin bars to cope Wheth...

That you wouldn’t crawl to the finish line, burnt out and nursing a cold that you tried to avoid as hard as you could.  But here you are already bracing… Already hearing that voice saying “just get through the next few weeks, then you can switch off” Already comfort eating your way through the e...

I know you don’t really want to be searching for yet another fat loss challenge or saving “healthy eating resets” on Instagram in case you need them in January  You want your head to be quiet for good and the confidence in yourself to know December is no longer a month that derails you or sends you spiralling into food guilt and body shame But every time you try to “fix” your eating, feel better i...

Ever told yourself, “I’ll just have one…” and halfway through that little voice kicks in telling you “you’ve ruined it now, so what’s the point?” only for you to demolish the whole pack Or maybe you’ve felt that hum of panic after saying yes to a food you used to avoid that leaves you wondering why food still feels so loud in your head, even when you’re trying to “just be normal” around it You wan...

Have any of these ever crossed your mind?  “If I wasn’t dieting, I’d just eat whatever I want, whenever I want”  “I want to stop restricting, but I’m scared I won’t stop eating” “ If I brought chocolate in the house, I’d just eat the whole lot” If so, you are not alone… But that fear is driving a wedge between you and a world where you are completely chill and trusting of yourself with all foods ...

Have you ever told yourself, “I’m just too lazy” … Too lazy to meal prep, too lazy to exercise, too lazy to cook something decent, too lazy to stick to things… And then what follows is that wave of self-criticism, disappointment and shame that leaves you frustratedly annoyed at yourself, comforting eating or just sacking it off entirely If YES… here’s what I need you to know Laziness doesn’t actua...
