The holidays have a funny way of turning what should be perfectly normal conversations into emotional minefields.

We share practical strategies to stay grounded, communicate clearly, and protect your energy without blowing up relat...

In this episode, we dive into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime — postpartum depletion. We chat about how common it really is (spoiler: way more than most people realise!) and why prepping for that phase is just as important as prepping for birth itself. We get into the physical, emotional, and nutritional sides of recovery, and share some practical ways new mums can nourish themselves and actually ask for help — because doing it all alone is so last season. We also talk about th...

We share some funny (and painfully relatable) stories, plus a few practical tricks we use to stop overeating and actually enjoy food again. We chat about creating a supportive environment, being more mindful with what’s on your plate, and how our emotions sneak their way into our eating habits. Most of all,...
In this episode of The Holistic Health Podcast, we are getting real — and a little cheeky — as we share some of our own surprising food stories and guilty pleasures (yes, we all have them!).

Let's dive headfirst into the world of alcohol alternatives where we unpack why alcohol holds such a grip on our culture, how it affects our health, and what happens when you start asking, “Do I even want this drink?” In this episode of live taste testing some of the options on the market - Amie has Nat taste-test some surprisingly good (and bad) booze-free beverages and offers a podcast-exclusive sneak peak into her medicinal mocktail range; botanical blends designed to make you feel good wi...

This week, we’re shaking things up! We kick things off with a rapid-fire round of health questions (spoiler: there’s plenty of giggles) before diving into something a little more real — heavy periods.
