You know that moment when you’ve had ENOUGH!?You’ve seen a photo you don’t like, stepped on the scales, overeaten again or realised you’ve barely moved your body for week and suddenly you’re D-O-N-ENo more excuses. No more being so “good” one day and then saying fuck it the next. You’re going to get your eating under control, get back to the gym and finally start doing what you “know you need to do”And for a little while, you do…Until the motivation wears off. Or life gets in the way. Or you eat something you hadn’t planned to. And suddenly that same voice that told you to get your act together is telling you you’ve blown it again.So you start again.And again.And again.But what if the problem isn’t that you don’t want change badly enough? Or that you’re not motivated enough?What if it’s the way you’ve been trying to create change?In this episode, we’re talking about the motivation problem nobody talks about: why criticism, shame and fear can get you moving, but can’t necessarily get you where you actually want to go.Because if you’ve spent your whole life believing that being hard on yourself is what keeps you disciplined, what happens when you stop?Will you stop caring? Become complacent? Let yourself go?Or is there another way to care about your health, your body and your life that doesn’t require you to feel bad enough first?We’re getting into what’s really happening underneath that “Right, enough is enough” feeling, why the same motivation that gets you started can also derail you and what it actually looks like to build a different relationship with yourself…one where you can make supportive choices, navigate the messy weeks and keep going without constantly needing to start againAnd I’ll be giving you some questions to take away and practise, so you can start noticing what’s really driving your own decisions around food, exercise and your body.If you’re ready to end the yo-yo cycle with food and your body, feel NORMAL again around food and finally trust yourself to do the things you know you need to do (for life) - 1:1 coaching is where we make it happenClick here to apply
If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen wondering:“Why am I doing this again?”“Why do I keep losing control around food at night when everyone’s gone to bed?”“Why can other people seem to eat normally, but food feels like such a battle for me?”Then this episode is for you!!Because one of the biggest mistakes we make when it comes to overeating is assuming it’s a discipline problem...That if you just had more willpower, more motivation or more control, you’d finally be able to stick to the changes you want to makeBut what if that’s not even the slightest bit the problem?What if your overeating makes complete sense when you understand what’s driving it?In this episode, we’re unpacking the hidden reasons people get stuck in the overeating cycle, especially after years of dieting, restriction and feeling like they’re constantly back at square one.We’re going beyond the surface-level advice and looking at what’s really happening underneath the behaviourBecause when you understand why you’re doing something, you can finally stop fighting yourself, stop chasing diet after diet and start working on the right thing If you’re tired of feeling like you’re broken, lacking discipline or destined to repeat the same cycle forever, this episode will help you see your relationship with food in a completely different way
You didn't actually want the second slice of cakeOr the extra glass of wineOr to polish off the snacks just because everyone else wasSo why did you say yes anyway?If you've ever found yourself eating something you weren't even hungry for simply because someone offered it then this episode is for youInside, I'm unpacking exactly why you’re doing this (and spoilers: it’s nothing to do with willpower) so you can start reclaiming your autonomy around food again without having to guilt trip yourself or start another restrictive dietWe'll explore:✨ Why saying "yes" often feels safer than honouring what you actually want✨ The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in people-pleasing around food✨ Why this isn't just affecting your eating (it shows up across your whole life)✨ The simple questions to ask yourself that will uncover what's really driving the behaviour and start to shift itP.S. Here’s the anonymous question box I mentioned for you to fill out
You tell yourself it's just who you are...You're the one who can't have chocolate in the houseWho ALWAYS finishes the packetWho does really well for a few weeks maxAfter years of dieting, it feels like this is basically your personality at this pointBut what if that's actually the biggest lie keeping you stuck?In this episode, I'm sharing why your eating habits aren't fixed character traits, what actually happens before those moments of overeating and the simple mindset shift that helps my clients finally stop fighting themselves around foodIf you've ever wondered why you can't just feel "normal" around food, this episode might completely change how you see yourselfP.S. If you know someone who definitely says "this is just who I am", send them this episode so they can shed that belief for good
Ever had one of those weeks where everything just feels harder? You’re more irritated by people. Snapping at the kids. Feeling less patient. More “on edge.” Food feels louder. Your body feels more triggering. Tiny things suddenly feel massive. You feel less like yourself somehow… but you can’t really explain why.Most women assume they just need to push through…Or maybe you just brush it aside as “hormones”But what if those moments are actually telling you something really important and can be avoided in the future?In this episode, I’m talking about the signs that you might be doing too much, physically, mentally or emotionally and repeatedly walking the path to burnout, hitting a wall or bingeing through the cupboards at 9pm again…especially if you’re someone who’s high-achieving, used to carrying a lot, or has a complicated relationship with food and exerciseWe’re getting into:why the usual signs of overdoing it often go unnoticedthe subtle shifts that tend to happen long before burnout or breakdownwhy exercise affects different women completely differentlythe hidden emotional weight movement can start carryingand the question I now use with both myself and clients instead of “am I doing too much?”If you’ve ever felt like your capacity for life keep dipping in and out and you’re not sure why and it creeps into your relationship with food, your ability to handle things or your relationships with the people around you, this one’s for youAnd if this conversation feels SUPER familiar and you’re realising your relationship with food, body and movement are taking up far more space in your life than you want or not giving you the sustainable health and joy you wish they would - 1:1 coaching is where we change that - apply here
