Ditching Diet Culture and Finding the True You with Madalin Giorgetta

When I asked Madalin what her message would be for anyone who is still stuck in diet culture, she said “IT’S A LIEEEEE!”... and I think that basically sums up this episode. Madalin Giorgetta was a fitness influencer with over 1 million followers, until she had the realisation that diet culture actually sucks and she didn’t want to perpetuate that harmful narrative anymore. She started sharing the anti-diet message, researched the heck out of it, and she was actually instrumental in my own shift ...

Body Image, Self-Love and Raising Kids to Accept Themselves with Rose Oates

Have you ever had the experience of looking in the mirror and thinking ‘who the f*ck is this, and where the hell have I gone?’. Rose has. She struggled with her body image for years, which came back to the forefront when she was struggling with postpartum depression. But this isn’t a sad podcast - this is an inspiring as heck podcast! Rose is one of my go-to people for down to earth, relatable self-love content (also for a good giggle!). She’s honest AF about mum life, bodies and what it’s like ...

Why Leaning In To Overeating is ESSENTIAL To Becoming an Intuitive Eater (and 4 Other Important Factors!)

The number one concern that everyone has before leaning into intuitive eating is ‘but what if I eat everything in sight… and just never stop?!’. Girl, I feel you. I was convinced that intuitive eating could never work for me, because I loved food too much! I would never voluntarily choose broccoli over a burger. I couldn’t keep chocolate in the house or I’d eat 5 blocks in one sitting. My stomach was a bottomless pit and I had zero concept of *balance*. I’m not going to tell you that you won’t ‘...

Cultivating Body Connection & Sensuality with Eleanor Hadley

Do you find it hard to connect with your body because you’re so stuck in your head? This is such a common problem for women who are unhappy in their bodies. I know - I used to be the same!

Why Thinking You'll Be Happier When You Lose Weight is STOPPING You From Sustaining Weight Loss (And What to Do Instead)

Do you still have a sneaky, deep-down longing to lose weight, even though you’re trying to break free of diet culture? It’s okay, you can admit it. This is a safe place! You’re definitely not alone, but I know that it can feel like a bit of a battle within yourself because it doesn’t feel like the two can co-exist. I spent years dieting and changing my body, sure that once I reached that magical ‘goal weight’ number, my life would change and become magically better. Spoiler alert: it did not. I ...

Why Cutting Out Sugar is the Worst Idea Ever (Even if You're 'Addicted' to It!)

Do you feel like you’re addicted to sugar? Maybe you’re one of those people who can’t keep chocolate in the house, because you know you’ll smash a whole block of Dairy Milk in one sitting. Maybe you just can’t stop at one Tim Tam (to be fair, can anyone?). Maybe you cut out all sugar entirely because it’s the only thing that makes you feel in control. Girl, I’m here to tell you that that’s not the smartest idea you’ve ever had. Here’s the thing: if you’re a sugar fan, cutting it out is NEVER goi...
