The Body Love Show

Today - the 21st March 2019 - is a special day.  It is the Autumn Equinox, a full moon and the first day of the astrological calendar. We all know the new year doesn't really start until Feb but now I'm arguing it started today! Check out this special episode where I give you 3 practices you can try to help use this special energy.

In January 2017 I had a full hysterectomy and instantly entered a new cycle of my life - menopause. It happens to all women but some suffer terribly from symptoms such as weight gain, hot flushes, sleeplessness and irritability. These symptoms can wreak havoc on a woman's ability to embrace body love so in this week's episode I wanted to reframe some of these symptoms to illustrate how our bodies...

After a month of self-imposed TV exile, I was surprised and delighted to come across this cute and satirical romantic comedy starring Rebel Wilson. In this short "long weekend" podcast ep I give you four reasons you should watch Isn't It Romantic on Netflix . Let me know what you think!       Hosted on Acast.

Part of the homework that The Body Love Academy students need to complete is sending me a selfie every week. Why? Because the best way to connect to people (without being in the same room) is with photos.  If someone has never seen your face, they are unlikely to hire you as their coach. But, I think selfies are essential for everyone. I can feel your *eye-roll* from here.  And I imagine you are t...

When it comes to loving our bodies it’s easy to get focused on the way they look, but so often, true body love is hard because of the way they FEEL.   Joint pain is a great example.   When we are in physical pain it can be so hard to be truly loving to ourselves.  Often we push through the pain just to “get things done”, or we are unable to get the awesome benefits of exercise because it hurts too...

A few months ago I went op-shopping with some friends and bought 2 dresses, a top (and a book) all for $6.50.  I was thrilled! But when I got home, I realised that all the clothes were one to two sizes larger than my “normal” size, and I was gutted.   You might be thinking, “But Emma, you’re The Body Love Coach… shouldn’t you love yourself no matter what?”   And the answer to that is, “Yes, I woul...

How can I make exercise fun?   One of the things I am most angry with the diet industry about is they took all the fun out of exercise!   When all the “calories in- calories out” stuff started getting bandied around we all started to believe that we had to go hard or go home.  And many of us decided to stay home.   And I think that’s because we know our bodies better than we think!   Most of us li...

Recently I got asked this question, "How to find a balance between work, kids, husband and maintaining the house, basically how to find time for me?"   This question is actually a two-parter.  Let’s break them down…   Question 1 - How to find a balance between work, kids, husband and maintaining the house?   The honest answer to this question is “you don’t”.   Balance is a sticky subject among man...

"How do I stay motivated?" - this is the #1 question I get asked. Whether it's starting and maintaining an exercise program, sticking to eating what you know feels good or committing to regular meditation - a lack of motivation seems to be the #1 issue holding women back. Here are my top tips to help you with motivation: 1. Find out WHY you want this. If you are just on the Keto bandwagon because...

I’ve just started listening to a new podcast – well it’s a few years old but it’s new to me.  It’s called Making Oprah . It's all about her evolution and how she became so popular. It wasn’t all easy sailing for Oprah but she is an inspiration to me and to countless other women across the globe. In this podcast, Oprah talks about the highest rating show of her entire career.  And probably the epis...

This time of the year can be a minefield with all the New Year, New You crap – diets and crazy exercise plans. Just a reminder, you are already enough. You don’t need to be a NEW YOU! We get sucked in because We’ve been trained to believe that being skinny is very important We’ve often ignored what works best for us during the festive season and gone crazy with different food, more alcohol, less m...

Christmas can be body love minefield. When you have weeks of parties and gatherings, shopping and planning it adds a layer of stress to what is already a busy life. And when you add in the emotional stress of family gatherings... Christmas can be a time of guilt & self-loathing. But it doesn't need to be. In this week's podcast, I share 12 tips to help you feel confident, stress less and love your...

Look, I might have this Body Love thing down pat, but that doesn't mean everything in my life is perfect!   I believe we are all work's in progress (i.e we've all got our shit to deal with!) For me right now, it's working on my finances.  I want to love them a bit more so that they'll love me back  (Hello Law of Attraction!) I've been reading Barbara Stanny's amazing book  Sacred Success   and I h...

One element of The Body Love Method is creating daily rituals or routines that help you feel great every day.   Many coaches talk about developing a morning routine... but I find them pretty difficult to follow so instead I've created an evening routine instead. (And I must say it's been easier since I had a long break from alcohol!) Watch the video (or listen to the audio) to learn more about wha...
