Finding Freedom with Jemma Rose

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...

It’s that time of the year! When we’re all relaxing and eating leftovers from Christmas, with no idea what day it is and not a care in the world… aka. the perfect time to set some goals for the year ahead. 2024 is going to be the year that we set goals and actually achieve them - I can feel it!

Telling your loved ones that you’re breaking free of diet culture to focus on body acceptance and food freedom instead can be, quite frankly, terrifying. Most people have grown up being taught that ‘fat = bad’ and ‘less calories = good’, so hearing that someone they love is bucking the trend to try something different can make them feel concerned, defensive or angry. This episode is your guide for...

Christmas is considered one of the six most stressful life events, and I’d hazard a guess that it climbs even higher on the list if you’re struggling with food and your body. There’s the pressure of being surrounded by foods that don’t feel safe, family members who make unwanted comments about your body, the endless stream of prosecco at Christmas parties, less time to keep up your movement habits...

I believe that mindset work is the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to sustainable behaviour change, but I also believe that too many people are relying on understanding why they do things and assuming that will magically change their lives. Soz, but you actually have to do the work and take action before you can reach your goals 👀 In this episode, I’ll share: Where you’re going wrong wi...

One of the biggest questions I get asked as a Body Image & Food Freedom Coach is: how do I stop caring so much what other people think? I get it! I used to be the queen of stressing over whether the stranger on the street was judging the way I looked in my outfit, or thinking I was getting the side eye from a family member for taking a second serving of dessert. Now I give exactly zero f*cks w...

When I used to have regular bad body image days, my go-to coping strategy was to chuck on a baggy outfit, eat a family-size serving of cheesy pasta and cry about how much I hated myself. That’s not the most helpful approach to getting over feeling sh*t about your body, right? If you need help handling those bad body image moments, these are 5 questions that you can ask yourself.

I used to believe that I just couldn’t do ✨balance✨, because I had zero control around food. Chocolate, lollies, chips - they were all banned from entering the doors of my house!
