Finding Freedom with Jemma Rose

I hate to break it to you, but most of the solutions you’ve been given for ‘fixing’ your body image and confidence are actually f*cking you over… Many women tell me that they’ve tried ‘everything’ in order to improve their body image, but it turns out that they’ve just been trying the wrong things (and often, the things that will cause more harm than good in the long run).  In this episode, I’ll s...

I spent over 10 years dealing with binge eating, so I know how difficult it is when you’re stuck in it and feel like there’s no way out.

In this episode, I’ll share: Why weight loss journeys and binge eatin...

You might be carrying a mental load around food that’s weighing you down more than you realise.

Buckle up, because today I’m getting vulnerable and I had no idea where this episode was going! Last week I shared on my Instagram that nobody had signed up for my new program - The Confidence Revolution - and I was sad that it hadn’t worked. My client (and friend!) reached out and asked if I’d be open to hearing her thoughts about my content and why she thought the marketing hadn’t worked… and of...

Every week this year, I’ve been doing something outside my comfort zone and sharing about it over on Instagram, because that’s one of the best ways to build confidence.

I have a confession: I don’t actually like the way my body looks most of the time. As someone who preaches body confidence, this might surprise you!

If you’re someone who also doesn’t like the way their body looks - but still wants to be confident AF - today’s episode is...

99.25% of respondents for the Fat in Healthcare report said they’d experienced bias in healthcare as a result of their body size. If that’s not a f*cked fact, I don’t know what is. For anyone living in a larger body, it’s not a surprise to hear that many fat people have experienced discrimination at the doctors or in another healthcare setting. Whether that’s having your issues dismissed and compl...

I used to believe that I was broken. I thought I was the defective one with wires missing in my brain which meant I was different to everyone else. There was ALWAYS a voice in my head saying horrible things, and I couldn’t switch it off… ever. Can you relate?

Let’s talk about something that’s holding you back from confidence, that you may not even realise is sabotaging you: the ‘good girl’ conditioning.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but that conditioning is killing your confidence as an adult! In this episode, I’ll sh...
