Finding Freedom with Jemma Rose

Women are incredible, yet most of us can’t see that power within ourselves. We’ve lost our connection to ourselves, we don’t like the bodies we see in the mirror, or we’re too focused on what other people think instead of prioritising our own needs. There needs to be more spaces where women are celebrated - spaces like The Sass Movement. The creator, Ash Hartree, joins me to share her magic today...

There was one vital step that I missed at the beginning of my intuitive eating journey, and it made the entire process so much more difficult! It’s tempting to jump straight from ‘all restriction’ to ‘all freedom’, hoping that you’ll find that effortlessly healthy balance quickly… yet instead, the ratio of burgers to broccoli isn’t working out how you expected. If you’re about to start your food f...

Do you love yourself? The number of people who can’t honestly answer “yes!” to this question breaks my heart a bit, because self love is something that’s available to everyone . It doesn’t matter what you look like, where you come from, how educated you are, what your job is - you can build up your self-love and self-worth with the right tools! Luckily, we have people like Sarah Viliamu - model, s...

Kylie Jenner has been coming under fire recently for crying about being criticised for her looks. The general consensus seems to be that she deserves it, because her family have set the unattainable beauty standards that are making us all feel sh*t about ourselves. Unpopular opinion time: I don’t agree! In this episode, I’ll share: Why it’s not the Kardashian’s fault that you feel sh*t about your...

Malnutrition, your hair falling out, nausea, getting a healthy organ amputated… do these things sound like ‘health’ to you? Probably not. Yet they’re synonymous with weight loss surgeries and Ozempic, which are touted as the ‘gold standard’ for weight loss and are often undertaken in the name of health. WILD, right?! I’m horrified by the rise of Ozempic and genuinely scared about the impact this i...

Check it out here 💥 One of the biggest things that women tell me about their relationship with food is that they always self-sabotage, and can never make their healthy habits last long-term.

Moving your body is something that seems simple on the surface, but it’s not always that easy. Many of us struggle to stay motivated, can’t stick to a consistent routine, feel like we should be exercising differently or maybe even just hate gyms. But it doesn’t have to be this way! There are many different ways to make movement work for your individual self, and Janis Isaman from My Body Couture j...

If you’ve ever lamented the fact that you’ve TRIED to love and accept your body, but NOTHING seems to work for you… yet all you’ve done is try to lose weight, said fluffy affirmations in the mirror or stuck a self-love crystal in your bra, then get ready to get called out 👀 In this episode, I’m going to walk you through the six steps that I take with every coaching client to help them love and ac...

Is the fashion industry catching up with the body positivity movement? Sometimes I think we’re making strides, but then you see the content from Australian Fashion Week and think ‘mmm… maybe not’. Annika Nielsen (you may know her as @whoeverannikais on Instagram) attended AFW and is my go-to for size inclusive fashion, so I had to get her to join me to discuss! In this episode, we chat about: Chal...

One of the sneakiest things that holds you back from total food and body freedom journey is the need to be ‘perfect’. Sure, logically you know that you don’t have to be perfect and ‘perfect’ doesn’t really even exist, but deep down you’re still chasing that unattainable goal and beating yourself up when you don’t achieve it. Spoiler alert: you never will. This keeps coming up in my client sessions...

When you finally find food freedom and start intuitive eating, you realise that there are a lot of things you’ve always considered ‘wrong’ in relation to food that actually… aren’t? In fact, you come to realise that you’ve got a multitude of carefully constructed rules and restrictions that were handed to you by diet culture, that you’ve come to accept as fact. They can stick around for a LONG tim...

You would think that having a podcast on health and wellness would mean that you had your shit together on the health front, right? Well, no - not necessarily. Ella Lucas-Averett is the host of On Air With Ella, and when she started her podcast 9 years ago she got caught up in old patterns of binge eating, despite everything else in her life going well.  In this episode, we talk all about that par...

Last week, I flew to Melbourne for a shoot with Mama Movement - an activewear brand that I LOVE. It got me reflecting on how my confidence has grown and shifted over the past few years, particularly because of one simple thing I keep doing: getting out of my comfort zone. One of the most important things you need to know about confidence is that it cannot grow within your comfort zone. I’ll share...

Do you see people who have an effortlessly healthy balance with food and think to yourself “HOW?! HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!”. You wish you had an easy balance, but you can’t imagine ever getting there because it’s so far removed from your current reality (especially because right now you inhale the entire contents of the pantry after dinner every night).  If this is you, if you want to eat intuitively...

I’ll admit that I’m no fashion girlie, but I DO know what an impact clothes can have on the way that you feel about yourself. When I started dressing for my body (and my personality!), rather than to hide it away, it took me to a whole new level of body confidence. Jennifer from Everyday Style knows all about the power of clothing on a body confidence journey, and she’s here today to help you harn...

Are you working on improving your body confidence? There’s a good chance that you’ve been focusing on the wrong things, which isn’t your fault - these are the things that we’ve been told will ‘work’, but often send us further down the negative body image path. Let me break down for you why they don’t work, so that you can focus on the things that do! In this episode, I’ll explain why these three t...

As someone who has spent a lot of time face-to-face with disordered eating (both in myself and the women I work with!) I’m fascinated by its prevalence and how we aren’t speaking enough about it as a society. Instead of watching out for red flags in our relationship with food, we’re practically praised when we choose an unhealthy, disordered path in the name of ‘health’. Today’s guest, Alyssa Boot...

Confession time: I made a lot of mistakes on my self-love journey. It took me WAY longer than it should have - plus with a heck of a lot more effort and heartache - thanks to the wrong paths I took or things I didn’t yet understand. Luckily for you, you don’t need to make the same mistakes as me, because I’m going to share them with you today alongside what I wish I’d done instead! My mistakes inc...

If you’re embarking on a body acceptance journey, you may still have that little voice at the back of your mind saying ‘but I don’t want to gain weight!’. It makes sense - you’ve been told your entire life that being bigger is bad and that larger bodies don’t receive the same privilege and respect. Weight stigma is a huge problem within society, and - as today’s guest, Jo Reader or ‘The Body Empow...

One of my biggest frustrations is the way that diet culture has co-opted exercise and made it all about weight loss or ✨aesthetics✨, when it’s actually just really freaking good for you. Movement is one of the best ways you can show your body love, and I want to reframe the way we approach it today. In this episode, I’ll share: The reason you should actually want to exercise (not just ‘because i...

When you break out of diet culture and focus on body acceptance, you start to realise that everything you’ve been told about bodies is BS. Even worse, those things - perpetuated by society, the media, Instagram and even the people around you - are holding you back from body confidence and true self-love. In this episode, I’ll break down 5 of these lies, including: Weight loss or fitting into the b...

I used to be the meal planning and meal prep queen, but when I escaped diet culture I felt like I couldn’t do that any more. How are you supposed to be prepared with your food when you also have to listen to your body?! My Tupperware collection lay unused until I realised that food freedom and meal planning can actually go hand in hand. Today’s guest, Nakia Laubscher from Chefate is here to tell y...
