Confidently Me

I got a bit real on today's episode and shared some of my own personal experience from my own divorce. You may not think that trauma can be from a divorce but let me explain more in this episode that these types of events in our life can so cause so much pain, so much guilt and suffering and to me that's trauma. My experience of my divorce was a very lonely one and it's not until the l...

This week I loved talking all things 'gut' with Dr Cecelia Kitic Director of Fertile Gut and who also has a PHD in Exercise Immunology. When I started to work with my dietitian Ange Clark who you was on the podcast a few weeks ago, I was focused on my own health and was recommended to use two products to improve my gut health and I couldn’t be happier with the results.    With a PhD in Exe...

You are worthy of everything you want and desire and don't let anyone tell you you can't have it. I know this might sound good in theory but there are so many outside influencers that is stopping you from getting this. I had a week of self reflection with a close friend and I couldn't believe the words that come out of my mouth, they were ... 'I don't deserve'... like serio...

Today I shared my journey on living with HPV and how this has affected me emotionally and really tested my patience.

It a virus that seems to stick around and nobody really understands it and it can really be quite scar...

I had the best time on this episode today with my very own Dietitian Ange Clark who works with women going through perimenopause. I have been working with Ange for my own personal journey for the last 4 months as I had hit rockbottom with understanding perimenopause and what was happening with my body. I didn't know how to eat anymore, I didn't know how to fuel my body for exercise and I w...

Today I talked about how overwhelmed and frustrated you are about thinking of your weight and what to do all the time. You are so sick and tired of figuring it out and then you just decide you can't be bothered and get unmotivated and stay in the same old cycle that you never feel like you can get yourself out of. I shared a story about a lady I bumped into and its so different when you meet s...

On this episode I talked about how important it is to listen to the words you say about yourself. You may not realise this but it is having a impact on your mindset and how you think about yourself. It all comes down to awareness of yourself and it takes practice to catch ourselves in the moment. Think about how you would talk to your best friend if you heard them speaking badly about themselves,...

This week was a very powerful episode about how I have overcome the dieting merry go round. It's truly been a journey of self discovery and how frustrating it is to hear so many women who struggle with this life. Dieting has its purpose for a short time especially if you are a athlete but most of us are not. Being at peace with our bodies, our food, our life is where I am wanting to teach you...

Today I chat about this perception that we need to have a perfect body. Spoiler alert its not real and never will be! It's become so much harder managing your weight as a midlife woman and having to continually feel like we have to be a certain person or look a certain way and I am trying to stop that conversation. Yes I continually struggle with my own perception of the perfect body however I...

I am here to tell you that 'You are enough' and don't let anyone tell you any different. Our beliefs can cause all sorts of havoc with us and the one big belief I hear all the time is that 'I am not good enough' that has actually been me for such a long time and I am on a mission to change that belief. Being a woman is tricky enough and having to deal with hormonal changes as w...

Confidence comes in many forms and you get to decide what it means to you. I think we are lead to believe it is meant to mean a certain thing or make you feel a certain way but over time I have learned that it can mean different things for different people. Maybe you have had someone make a comment to you that didn't make you feel very good and you think that your confidence is low now because...

This week was a great topic and one that I hear all the time and not being able to sleep better at night. I have been in your shoes and its not a nice feeling at all.

I share will you some tips that will help you manage your sleep patterns better and ways to get you...

This week's episode is all about keeping it real and talking about the real topics that no one talks about. I share a story that has been bugging me for a while now and how uncomfortable it has made me feel and how I am making changes to overcome this.

There is a big difference between being impatient and unrealistic and on today's episode I share with you my take on it. Impatient comes from not seeing results quick enough or not being consistent enough and being unrealistic is are you really setting those goals way to high or not something that is really achievable. We live in a world that we are so used to instant gratification and instant...

This week's episode is all about how to use your past as a teacher to move forward in your life.

Sometimes our past can be tricky to look at and if you need some professional help to work through some emotion...

Too many times we have been told you can't ask for help as a woman and you have to be strong and do it all yourself. Today I am calling BS... and the best thing we can do for ourselves as a woman especially during our perimenopause years so to ask for help and get support. We can get results if we do things on our own but what if we did put our hand up and ask for support, imagine how differen...

On this podcast episode I really dug deep into a fear that I didn't realise I had until a few days ago and I have no doubt that other women might feel the same. I have been fearing success!

I talked about what the connections were and how I had old stories that lead me to believe some old stories that no longer are ser...

This week's episode I talk about how time management may not be the issue and it could be that you just have too much going on at once. Overwhelm is such a hidden topic that really doesn't get talked about in enough detail.
