Love How You Eat

If you struggle to follow your plan consistently and find yourself giving into your urges and cravings on a regular basis, I encourage you to listen to today's episode where I explore a mindset shift that can seriously help (and will positively serve other areas of your life). I don't consider myself an athlete (!) but fostering an "athlete's mindset" has been one of the m...

This episode explores the power of asking yourself this question when you're having food cravings and gives you ways to take a different path that doesn't involve food. When you start asking this question, you will become aware of emotions that you want to numb and it's only from that awareness that you can start to make a different decision and choice for yourself. As you keep tryi...

We all have such different bodies and of course we do! We all have different genetics! But I find that many of us spend a lot of time and energy wishing we had a different body type which means we're constantly fighting a lost battle with ourselves and it feels rubbish. Negative self-talk, unhelpful and restrictive behaviours, unloving body image and self-concept. Nothing ever really changes...

In today’s episode, I chat about why moderating isn’t right for everyone (and why it's hard!),  the placebo effects of alcohol-free drinks and why I’m finding them crucial for this journey, the fun of alcohol, and drinking to fit in and feel accepted (especially with the mums from school). This is not a coaching episode, this is me sharing my personal experience of going alcohol-free. www.sal...

I caught up with Helen Barlow - an absolute gem of a personal trainer - a few weeks ago to talk about all things movement and mindset. Helen has an amazing online platform that I've been a member of for years and I trained with her at the gym back in 2019 when I was pregnant with my second son. I've always liked her style - and I'm not just talking about her clothes and classes! The...

Continuing to share my experience of my new alcohol free life.

All resources and purchases I mentioned are listed and linked below: Rich Roll podcast with Ruari Fair...

It's very normal to use food and alcohol as a way to cope with uncomfortable emotions that we've decided we can't or won't tolerate. We think the emotions shouldn't be there. On a primal level, we think that something's very wrong and we want to use buffers like sugar and alcohol to fix the "problem". These buffers quickly take hold as habit and before we kn...

Introducing this new mini series which will go alongside my normal weekly release. Come and join me on my alcohol free journey - one that has been a long time coming but only feels right to take now.

This episode gives you a few ways to calm a busy mind in the evenings by evolving your mindset, changing how you react to high-frequenc...

Eesh -- this one's a biggie that so many of us have experienced. I have so much love for anyone who's received comments about their weight from family members *AND* now is the time to take back your power in a way that feels good and aligns with the relationships you'd truly like to have (with your family and yourself).

Have you been trying to do the 80/20 diet but finding it hard to get into a rhythm that means it actually works?! The 80/20 approach is a really great way to take care of your body and encourage you to eat intuitively but can be difficult to get into a routine with. If you've ever dieted before, you might find it particularly challenging to adhere to the 20% in a way that feels calm, consider...

There's a lot of buzz around ultra-processed food and it feels like everyone is reading this book !

Today's podcast is a beautiful episode designed to support you in creating steadiness and security in a month when things easily get rocked. When our normal habits and routines are challenged, we can often feel unsettled. When we feel unsettled, the action we take isn't always what we want it to be. But that doesn't have to be the way. In this episode, I cover journaling daily (and...

Many of us know about eating over stress and boredom but what about when we're feeling positive emotions like joy and gratitude and we want to capitalise on that? This episode explores the common flipside at this time of year when we have a history of eating/drinking over our emotions and giving food/ alcohol all the power to create our experience. I discuss how there is often more joy and co...

My thoughts on the scales have changed. If the goal is to feel great in your body, feel good about how you eat and drink, and feel peace and freedom with food and alcohol, we must assess whether the scales are helping us to achieve those things. And I've seen time and again how the scales get in the way. This doesn't mean you aren't measuring your success and drive for change, simpl...

Episode 50! And it's a good one! We've all got some good habits and know what we want (or "should") to be doing. But what happens when these good habits start to slip? I'm talking not planning your food/ alcohol, not processing urges i.e. rewarding them, snacking when you're not physically hungry, hydrating, sleeping, sugar/ flour, self-care rituals -- generally not h...

In this episode, I explain what that labelling creates for us and how to reframe things in order to change your experience of the food (and therefore your results). Not only will it mean you end up getting more true pleasure and enjoyment out of these hi...
