In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest patterns that keeps women stuck: saying “life got in the way.”
But you know what? — life is always busy. There’s always something pulling at your attention. But skipping your workouts, dropping your routine, or abandoning your healthy habits is still a choice — and one that leaves you feeling worse.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about taking back your power.
You’ll learn:
Why “life got in the way” is often a sign of deeper habits
How to stay consistent even when things feel chaotic
What to do when you're tempted to give up
This episode is your reminder that you can be fit and healthy even in a full, busy life — and that showing up because of the chaos (not in spite of it) is what changes everything.

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how hard you try, the weight just won’t shift?
I know that feeling all too well. For years I was stuck in the same exhausting cycle of starting over every Monday, eating well for a while, then crashing back into stress, wine and sugar.
It wasn’t just about food or exercise.
There were hidden reasons I couldn’t lose the weight, and in this episode I’m sharing the 10 most brutal ones. These are the habits, thoughts and patterns that kept me overweight and stuck, and the shifts that finally set me free.
Tune in because you’ll discover three big takeaways: the surprising reasons I couldn’t lose weight no matter how hard I tried, how stress and overwhelm had far more power over my weight than I realised, and the exact shifts I made that changed everything.

Are you pouring a glass of wine, reaching for food, or keeping yourself endlessly busy just to cope?
I know what that feels like, because I did it too. Wine to switch off, food for comfort, busyness to avoid slowing down. I thought I was protecting myself from stress — but in reality, I was avoiding the deeper pain underneath. And it nearly broke me.
Here are 3 reasons to tune in:
Discover the hidden ways avoidance might be showing up in your own life (without you even realising).
Learn the real cost of numbing with wine, food, or busyness — and why it keeps you stuck.
Hear what happened when I stopped running from stress and started facing it — and how you can do the same.
Avoidance feels easier in the short term, but it always comes at a high price. This episode will help you see what it might be costing you — and what’s possible when you choose a different way.

Most people want change… but when the discomfort comes, they quit.
You can either choose the temporary discomfort of building new habits — or live with the long-term discomfort of an unfulfilled, unhealthy, stuck life.
In this episode, I’m asking you straight: are you choosing inner excellence, or are you settling for mediocrity?
We’ll talk about:
Why discomfort is the price of growth
The difference between the short-term pain of new habits and the lifelong pain of staying stuck
How to shift your mindset so you lean into the right kind of discomfort
If you’re serious about building consistency, fitness, and peace of mind — this episode will be the wake-up call you need.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to get organised… this episode is for you.
In today’s chat, I’m sharing why the real problem isn’t your time management or how busy you are — it’s your boundaries.
We’ll dive into the hidden ways you’re giving away your time and energy without even realising it, and why you keep saying yes when you know you should be saying no. I’ll walk you through three simple boundaries you can set this week that will instantly help you feel calmer, more in control, and finally able to focus on what matters to you.
This is the stuff no one teaches us — how to protect your time, your energy, and your emotional space without feeling guilty.
If you’re ready to stop running on empty and start showing up for yourself, you’ll love this one.

Whether you’re showing up and doing the workouts — or avoiding them altogether — if exercise feels like a chore lately, you’re not alone.
It’s not that you’re lazy. It’s not that you need more motivation.
There’s something deeper going on — and in this episode, I’m diving into it.
We’ll talk about:
Why movement can start to feel flat, draining, or like pressure
The emotional undercurrent that’s often missed (especially in women over 40)
And how to shift the energy — so workouts feel doable, even enjoyable again
If you’re stuck in that “I can’t be bothered” feeling, this will help you understand what’s really going on — and how to get your spark back.

What does it really mean to lose yourself… and then find your way back?
In this episode, I’m joined by Fiona Feeley — a psychotherapist, speaker, and mental health advocate who blends psychology, body-based healing, and spiritual practices to help people feel whole again.
Fiona opens up about her own darkest moments, the trauma that shaped her, and how she transformed her life from survival mode to deep connection and purpose. We talk about disembodiment, coping, awareness, and why self-judgement is one of the biggest blocks to healing.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or like you’re carrying pain that no one sees — this one’s for you.

If you’re not getting the results you want…
If you’re telling yourself you are doing it — but deep down, you know you’re not fully in — this episode is for you.
Because not taking action is an action.
Not deciding is a decision.
And staying stuck doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by default.
In this episode, we’ll get into:
The real reason you’re circling the same patterns
What happens when you try to stay safe and avoid discomfort
Why “I’ll start Monday” is the biggest lie holding you back
If you’re serious about changing your life, it starts with your mindset — and this episode will show you how.

I had the privilege of interviewing Mary Ann Kenny, author of The Episode: A True Story of Loss, Madness and Healing.
Mary Ann is a lecturer, writer, and mother who shares her deeply personal journey with honesty and courage.
In our conversation, Mary Ann opens up about the unimaginable: the sudden loss of her husband John, who died while out for a jog just days after her 50th birthday.
Grief quickly spiralled into severe mental distress, and within a few months, she found herself being treated in a psychiatric hospital, struggling through psychosis and depression’
Her story is one of heartbreak, survival, and incredible resilience — and of how she slowly found her way back to herself, rebuilding life piece by piece.
It’s a powerful, moving chat about grief, mental health, and hope. I’m so grateful to Mary Ann for sharing her story. She is such a fantastic, strong woman and I can't wait for you to hear her story.

In this episode, I’m sharing the truth about quitting — why we’re tempted to quit when it feels hard, when the routine isn’t working, or when that negative self-talk kicks in. I’ll take you behind the scenes of my own life: the abusive relationships I left, the scrubbing gym floors after my degree, the battles building my business, giving up drink, and figuring out how to survive weekends without it.
The one thing that got me through it all? I didn’t quit. I tweaked. I kept going. And that’s what I want for you too.
If you’re feeling stuck, doubting yourself, or ready to give up — this one’s for you.

What’s really getting in the way of your success when it comes to being fit, healthy and consistent?
For years, I went around in circles—desperate to become fit and healthy, to start feeling good but I always ended up back at square one.
And I realised... the things I thought were holding me back? They weren’t the real issue at all.
In this episode, I’m opening up about the sneaky, unexpected things that were actually keeping me stuck—and what changed once I finally figured it out.
Tune in to learn:
What fear of failure really looks like (and how it shows up in your everyday habits).
Why those uncomfortable feelings at the start of a new routine are so powerful—and what to do with them.
The subtle stories we keep telling ourselves that quietly sabotage our progress.
If you feel like you’re doing all the right things but not seeing progress, this one’s for you.
Do you feel like you eat, drink, and scroll too much — and wish you didn’t?
I drank too much for years. I overate for years too. And while I didn’t hate it all the time, towards the end… I just felt stuck. Every day felt like Groundhog Day. Every Monday felt like I was starting again.
I wasn’t making progress in the areas that mattered to me. I felt unfit, tired, and sluggish all the time. My clothes didn’t feel right, and I didn’t feel good in my skin.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I broke free from each of those habits. I used a different strategy for alcohol and for food — and both have changed my life in different ways.
Tune in to hear:
The big turning point in my alcohol journey
Why I had to handle sugar and emotional eating differently
What’s actually changed in my life since healing from both
If you’re stuck in that cycle and don’t know how to break it — I hope this helps.
You keep thinking, “If only I knew back then what I know now…”
You’re either all in or completely off—and you’re so tired of swinging between the two.
In this episode, I’m taking you back to the version of me that was stuck in that loop—eating too much, drinking too much, and feeling totally disconnected from my body. I’ll share what I wish I’d known back then, the tiny mindset traps I couldn’t see at the time, and how shifting my focus helped me finally feel calm, clear, and in control.

✔️ The surprising habits that kept me stuck (without me even realising it)
✔️ Why focusing on the wrong things can make everything harder
✔️ How I finally found peace in the middle ground—not all or nothing

In this episode, we’re slowing things right down. We’ll look at what’s really going on with your weekend habits—not from a place of shame, but from curiosity. If you’ve been stuck in that “I’ll start fresh Monday” loop, this is a chance to step back and get honest.
