I have had loads of questions recently about how to improve body image, self-esteem, confidence...all the things body! Admittedly, this is one of the most difficult journeys to be on, because while we can hide our relationship with food, we cannot pretend our body is anything other than what it is. Living with an eating disorder and disordered eating for over a decade made it incredibly difficult...

Gabby and I were recently introduced by our mutual friend Lindsay (peep episode #21 for my interview with her) and was fascinated by her professional transition from psychology to personal training.

Through that, she began runn...

If you haven't yet listened to Episode #35 I'll direct you there to find out more about all things keto & carbs. In today's epis...

Today's episode is inspired by some post-vacation reflections. We all know how routine is difficult to keep up when on vacation, during holiday seasons and even on weekends. I want to invite you to let go of the need to control the routine, and to not feel the need to justify your habits changing when life changes. The "hall pass mentality" that I chat about is really about embracing...

What we would consider "eating intuitively" and you did in f...

Yeah, me too! Today's guest - Kiki Rozema - joins me to discuss all things women's empowerment, sta...

A few days ago I got chatting with my neighbour about her belly fat. She was sharing how upset she is that she just can't seem to get rid of it, despite doing all the right things - working out 5 days a week, eating clean, minimizing carbs. She's even tried intermittent fasting, and nothing seems to work. Sound familiar? This is a story I have heard all too often, and I know it is not an u...
