I’m Done! Now What?

You think you have a weight problem — but what if that’s not actually the issue? In this episode, I share my own experience of feeling tired, overwhelmed, and stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle with food, exercise, and life. I talk about what my days really looked like, why forcing discipline never worked for me, and the moment I realised the problem wasn’t my body — it was overload. We explore how...

I’m starting this year the way I mean to go on — slowly and steadily. In this episode, I talk about how self body-shaming is deeply harmful. I share how learning that where your focus goes, energy flows completely changed my life. I also reflect on the fact that none of us are here forever, and why that matters when it comes to how we live and work.  This episode is a reminder to do the things you...

After how popular our first Ask Trisha episode (episode 293) was, Trisha is back. In this Ask Trisha, we answer the questions you sent in — the ones about feeling drained after therapy, navigating family dynamics, supporting others without taking everything on, and making sense of the emotions that show up after loss. It’s an honest, practical conversation about protecting your energy, setting emo...

Every Christmas, well-meaning advice gets thrown around like confetti. Swap wine for gin. Skip meals so you can enjoy later. But this advice isn’t helping. In fact, it’s the reason so many women stay stuck in the same December–January cycle year after year. In this episode, I talk about the advice I will never give over Christmas — and why quick fixes, swaps, and control-based thinking don’t work...

In this episode I’m chatting about how I only changed when the pain of my own habits got too big to ignore. I was tired of feeling sluggish, bloated, unfit, anxious, trapped in excuses, trapped in cycles I kept promising myself I’d break. And instead of pretending everything was fine, I finally used that pain as fuel. That pain wasn’t a weakness — it became my turning point. Today, I’m breaking do...

How do you get out of old patterns and cycles that you’re stuck in? How do you talk to your adult children? And how do you stop self-sabotaging on a Thursday when you’ve been healthy all week?

Trisha has a real gift for getting straight to the root of things and explaining it in a way that actually makes s...

Are you done eating crap and drinking too much over Christmas? This will be my 4th Christmas having a healthy one — enjoying myself in ways that aren’t food or alcohol related. I’m blessed. I feel like I’ve broken free from a toxic part of our society that gets pushed on us the second Halloween is over. The idea that we need to spend, eat, and drink to have a good time — and if we don’t, there’s s...

On holiday, I got the wake-up call I didn’t know I needed — not from my phone, but from the silence that came when I finally put it down. Somewhere along the way, I’d let my phone run my day — checking, scrolling, reacting, repeating. And I realised just how much energy, focus, and peace it was stealing. In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned from stepping back, the signs that your phone migh...

If you’ve got one foot in diet culture and the other half of you is telling yourself you don’t agree with it, you’ll keep going around in circles — because both of your feet are pointed in opposite directions.

In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest patterns that keeps women stuck: saying “life got in the way.” But you know what? — life is always busy. There’s always something pulling at your attention. But skipping your workouts, dropping your routine, or abandoning your healthy habits is still a choice — and one that leaves you feeling worse. This isn’t about blame. It’s about taking back...

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how hard you try, the weight just won’t shift?  I know that feeling all too well. For years I was stuck in the same exhausting cycle of starting over every Monday, eating well for a while, then crashing back into stress, wine and sugar. It wasn’t just about food or exercise.  There were hidden reasons I couldn’t lose the weight, and in this episode I’m sharing...

Are you pouring a glass of wine, reaching for food, or keeping yourself endlessly busy just to cope? I know what that feels like, because I did it too. Wine to switch off, food for comfort, busyness to avoid slowing down. I thought I was protecting myself from stress — but in reality, I was avoiding the deeper pain underneath. And it nearly broke me. Here are 3 reasons to tune in: Discover the hid...

In this episode, we’ll get into: The real reason you’re circling the same patterns What happens when...
