Finding Freedom with Jemma Rose

If I could give an award to the person whose Instagram content I’ve shared the most, it would 100% go to Kira. She’s a size inclusive and non-diet fitness trainer, and every single thing she posts on Instagram makes me turn into the human version of the praise-hands emoji. Who better to chat with about fitness without the diet culture BS?! In this episode, we spoke about: Why you’re struggling to...

Diet culture is a sneaky b*tch, and she’s also a liar. We’ve all been fooled into believing diet culture’s BS for too long, so in this episode I want to bust some myths and share why everything you’ve been told about food is a lie. You can expect to hear facts on facts about why the following aren’t true: If you want to get healthy, you should go on a diet Sugar is addictive There are ‘bad’ foods...

I’m joined by Sam van Zweden and Chloe Papas, who are passionate about making the world more inclusive by advocating for plus-sized bodies and providing a space for plus size people to buy and sell preloved clothes, shop from inclusive local brands, and break the fast fashion cycle...

I turned 30 this week, and it got me reflecting on my 20s. While I’ve been reflecting, I’ve noticed so many changes and shifts in my life that I can attribute to finding food freedom and improving my body image, which I’d never really thought about before because people aren’t sharing them ! We all know the big changes that come along with food and body freedom – a good relationship with food, lov...

Becky is one of those magical unicorns who never really struggled with her own body image issues, but that hasn’t stopped her from spreading the anti-diet message and embracing body positivity for all.  Her first Quit Your Bitching event was on diet culture and body image, and now her work centres around body autonomy, boundaries and consent. Basically, she’s here to disrupt the system and change...

Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot of people say that they feel like body acceptance isn’t for them. They’re excluded from being able to love and accept their body, exactly as it is, because they aren’t a certain shape or size.  This is amplified by the fact that most of the people working in the body acceptance space are straight-sized themselves, which isn’t always relatable if you’re in a larger...

If I had to choose two words to describe the way that I eat now that I’ve found food freedom, they would probably be ‘balanced’ and ‘realistic’. That’s why I love Leah Itsines so much - because those are the foundations of the BARE principles.  Leah is the founder of the BARE guides, Yes Please Health and Soli Sleep, and she was also my absolute DREAM podcast guest. In this episode, we cover: Why...

One of the biggest misconceptions around food freedom and body acceptance is that it’s unhealthy. If I had a dollar for every time I saw someone in the Instagram comments whining about people ‘promoting obesity’ or saying that it’s not healthy to be allowed to eat all foods, I’d be living on superyacht. Here’s the thing: those people are wrong. You don’t need to lose weight to live a healthy lifes...

One of the biggest barriers to people going ‘all in’ on body acceptance and intuitive eating is caring too much about what other people think. You’d love to get off the lose weight/gain weight rollercoaster and ditch diet culture, but you’re worried that people might judge your food choices or what you decide to wear. This is holding you back from achieving total food and body freedom! NO MORE. In...

Hands up if you love the excitement and motivation of setting goals! Okay, now hands up if you actually ACHIEVE those goals every time, and don’t just let them slip out of your mind by the time February rolls around… yep, there’s always less hands for that one. That’s why I’m sharing with you my formula for actually achieving your goals, as well as some guidance on how to set goals that aren’t die...

One of my FAVOURITE topics to talk about is mindset and overcoming your limiting beliefs, so I knew I needed to bring Breanna, aka. Miss Mindset, on the podcast. I truly believe that if we'd all learnt the tools to master our mindset when we were in school, the world would be an entirely different place. The shifts that I've made over the last few years since learning about this are wild...

Diet culture is rife at any time of year, but it particularly kicks up over December in Australia. Combine festive parties, lots of food, drinks galore AND bikini season, and you’ve got a recipe for stress for those who are struggling with food and their body.  I asked you what your biggest struggles are during the festive season, and in this episode I’ll give you tips on how to overcome those str...

You probably know Steph Gorton as the woman who has helped hundreds of women boom their business (me included!), but you might not know that she spent many years undertaking her own body image battle and once wanted to help women through theirs too. I’ve noticed that when women clear all of the food and body BS out of their lives, they have more brain space to think about what actually matters to...

I love an unpopular opinion. I love ruffling feathers. I love going against the grain if it’s for something I believe in! You had best believe that I have plenty of controversial opinions that would have the diet culture fanatics clutching their pearls. You can expect to hear me cover my opinions that: Cheat days are planned disordered eating Calories in/calories out is BS Relying on affirmations...

Lacey might be a Stylist and Image Coach, but she goes SO much deeper than surface level in this chat and in her work. Finding your own personal style in a body that has changed or that you never felt comfortable in to begin with can be really difficult. You might want to try out different trends but are worried about what other people will think, or maybe you believe that you shouldn’t wear them...

This episode is for anyone who is struggling to get onto the self-love train.  Sometimes it can feel hard to truly dive into self-love and self-acceptance when the world is constantly telling you that you aren’t enough as you are (*cough* the $72 billion diet industry *cough*), but I want you to know that it IS possible! In this episode, I’m going to share: The number 1 most important relationship...

When I worked out how much money I used to spend on my comfort eating habit (let alone my binge eating habit 😳), I practically had heart palpitations. Have you ever thought about how much money you spend on comfort eating? How much you could save if this wasn’t an issue for you? That’s one of the things I’m chatting about in this episode. I’ll also cover: The fact that if you want to be binge-fre...

I get so many women coming to me saying that they’ve tried everything when it comes to food and their body, and nothing works. They think they’re broken. I’m here to tell you that YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. There’s nothing wrong with YOU, there’s something wrong with the SYSTEM. You’re just missing the piece of the puzzle that nobody is talking about, which is why people are struggling to reach their goa...

When I think about how different my life is now, compared to 4 years ago, I get emotional.  I get sad for the past version of me who was struggling with binge eating, hating her body and had an unhealthy relationship with food. I get mad that so much of my life was wasted in that space, and that so many other women are going through the same thing. I get overwhelmed with gratitude for the person I...

Confidence is one of the biggest things that women tell me that they desire. Even if the initial goal is something like ‘to lose weight’ or ‘to feel better about my body’, it almost always comes down to seeking confidence. But, how the heck do you build your confidence?! I’ll tell you. In this episode, we’ll cover: What confidence actually is  How confidence links to body image and food freedom (a...

If you’d asked 23 year old Jemma whether not getting your period was a good thing, she would have said ‘heck yeah!’. I thought they were inconvenient, annoying and probably the biggest downside to being a woman (she’d clearly never heard of the patriarchy).  Now I’m older and wiser, I know that losing your menstrual cycle is NOT a good thing! Luckily, we have people like Sarah who are here to help...
