You've been sold a glossy lie about self-care; facials, tans, holidays, and nights out. But let’s be honest: none of that fixes exhaustion, burnout, or your health. In this episode, I talk about why most of what we call “self-care” is just *self-decoration*. Quick fixes that cost money but change nothing. You’ll learn what real self-care looks like (spoiler: it’s not sexy, but it works) — from managing stress and eating real food to sleeping properly and actually looking after Future You. This isn’t about bubble baths and balayage. It’s about building the kind of health that lets you *still* walk yourself to the salon at 75.
If you’ve ever found yourself pacing around the kitchen at 10pm just to hit 10,000 steps… this one’s for you. Because here’s the truth, 10,000 isn’t a magic number. It’s marketing. . And if you’ve been beating yourself up for not hitting it, you’re missing the bigger picture. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why movement matters more than exercise. The real reason NEAT (non-exercise activity) is your secret weapon for fat loss. How to fit more movement into a busy life — no gym, no pressure, no perfection required. This episode is your permission slip to stop chasing numbers and start focusing on consistency.

The weight loss jab… everyone’s talking about it, but is it really the solution? In this episode, I’m sharing a slightly different perspective. Because no matter how much weight you lose, if you don’t do the inner work around your habits, emotional eating, and the reasons you gained weight in the first place… what happens when the jab stops? This one might ruffle a few feathers, but it’s an important conversation.

Ever feel like you’re “good” all week, then the weekend hits and you blow it? Or you panic you have exceeded your calorie amount for the day. This episode will change the way you see those days. We’re talking all about calorie cycling; the smart, flexible way to eat more on certain days without ruining your weight loss progress. You’ll learn how to plan higher and lower calorie days that fit around real life; birthdays, takeaways, date nights, you name it, without guilt, restriction, or starting over on Monday. In this episode, I break down: What calorie cycling actually is (and why it works). How to use it to stay consistent — not perfect. Why your weekly average matters more than your daily target. How this approach helps you ditch guilt and stop the binge-restrict cycle. If you love food, hate feeling deprived, and want a plan that fits real life, this one’s for you.

If you struggle to say no, to food, to plans, to people; this episode is going to hit home. Because weight loss isn’t just about what you eat… it’s about setting boundaries that support your goals. And the truth is, saying no doesn’t mean restriction — it means taking back control. In this episode, I share 3 simple ways to start saying no (without feeling awkward, rude, or deprived): How to say yes mindfully not automatically. Why getting your family on board makes everything easier. And how to share the food and still enjoy it: — no guilt, no all-or-nothing mindset. Cycle your calories to make it work for you This is your reminder that boundaries aren’t selfish: they’re self-respect.
