Nourish and Mum

You’ve had a big weekend. Maybe a work do, a birthday, a week where you were just knackered. And now it’s Sunday night and you’re already planning it - salads, no snacks, back on it from Monday. And you mean it. You genuinely do. By Tuesday it’s fallen apart and you feel worse than you did before you made the plan. In this episode I’m talking about why that keeps happening - not in a fluffy way, b...

One rough week doesn’t mean the approach isn’t working. But it can feel that way. The temptation to scrap everything and starting something new is real. In this episode, I’m talking about why that urge is often the thing keeping you stuck, and what to actually ask yourself before you change a single thing. We also cover how to think short, medium and long term. Find me on Instagram @nourishandmum...

I have a wedding mid-September. My wedding! And this is the honest version of how I’m getting there. In this episode I’m sharing where I’m actually starting from - what’s working, what isn’t, and why I’m not doing what most expect a nutrition to do before her wedding! No crash diets. No cutting everything out. No starting over every Monday. Just the clam, logical approach I use with the mums I coa...

In this episode, we talk about the expectations many mums place on themselves - not just around food and exercise, but across work, motherhood, and life in general. When the standard becomes “do everything well”, health habits can easily become another source of pressure. This episode explores why perfection often leads to starting over again and again, and why shifting towards a “good enough” app...

In this episode of Nourish & Mum, we shift the conversation from evening eating to something many working mums notice during the day: workplace snacking. Biscuits in meetings, birthday cake in the office, snacks in the kitchen, eating while answering emails - work environments can make food decisions surprisingly difficult to navigate. This episode looks at why daytime grazing happens so easil...

In this episode, we “zoom out” from evening snacking and look at the bigger picture. Sometimes the snack isn’t really the issue, it’s that evenings feel heavy, intense, or like the only time that’s yours. We talk about why evenings often carry so much weight after a full day of parenting, and how small shifts - like building tiny pauses earlier in the day or creating a clearer “switch-off” signal...

In this episode, we move from understanding evening snacking to handling it in real life. If you’ve ever found yourself in the kitchen at 8:30pm wondering how it’s escalated again, this episode is about what to actually do in that moment - without banning snacks or starting over tomorrow. I talk about how to check whether you’re genuinely hungry, why grazing tends to feel chaotic, how to make eati...

In this episode, we take a deeper look at why evening snacking feels so intense for so many mums. If you’re fine all day and then the evening hits - and suddenly you want quick, carby, sugary foods - this isn’t random and it isn’t a lack of willpower. We explore what’s often driving it: the “collapse” after holding everything together all day, unintentional under-eating earlier on, the feeling tha...

In this episode, I talk about how to make meals easier - not more impressive, not more exciting - just easier to manage in real life as a mum. I explore why meals often start to feel effortful and mentally draining after kids, and how reducing decision-making and relying on familiar, repeatable meals can make consistency feel more achievable. This episode looks at practical ways to simplify meals,...

In this episode, I talk about what to do when things go off track - without resetting, restricting, or waiting for the “right” moment to start again. I explore why restarting often creates pressure and keeps mums stuck in cycles of stopping and starting, and why returning calmly to what works is a far more effective approach. This episode introduces the idea of having something familiar to return...

In this episode, I explore why consistency often feels like the hardest part of looking after your health as a mum. I talk about why many mums feel stuck in a cycle of starting, stopping, and feeling like they can’t stick to anything - even when they care deeply about their health and know what they “should” be doing. This episode looks at how perfectionism, decision fatigue, and food taking up to...

In this episode of Nourish & Mum, I explore why dieting so often feels harder after having children - even for mums who care about their health and genuinely want to feel better. I talk about the emotional pull between wanting more energy and confidence now, while also prioritising the needs of young children during such an intense season of life. This episode covers some of the reasons dietin...

In this first episode of Nourish & Mum, I share why this podcast exists - and who it’s really for. Many mums care deeply about their health, but feel caught in a constant tension: wanting to look after themselves, while also wanting to give everything to their children during these early years. Add to that the way many of us were taught to approach nutrition and fat loss - through restriction,...
