I have a confession… my path to becoming an intuitive eater was not the best one 😅 It took FAR longer than it needed to, had a lot of missteps, involved a lot of ‘learning’ instead of ‘doing’ (and a lotttt of wasted money) and was basically a heck of a lot harder than it should have been. I want your experience to be much easier, which is why I’m sharing: The difference between bingeing, overeating and emotional eating My biggest tip for becoming an intuitive eating The essential steps I took o...

I turned 30 this week, and it got me reflecting on my 20s. While I’ve been reflecting, I’ve noticed so many changes and shifts in my life that I can attribute to finding food freedom and improving my body image, which I’d never really thought about before because people aren’t sharing them ! We all know the big changes that come along with food and body freedom – a good relationship with food, loving your body, being more confident, stopping bingeing and restricting, ditching the diets, feeling ...

Becky is one of those magical unicorns who never really struggled with her own body image issues, but that hasn’t stopped her from spreading the anti-diet message and embracing body positivity for all.

Basically, she’s here to disrupt the system and change societal expectations (amen to that!). In this episode, we cover: How she felt like she wasn’t doing ...

Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot of people say that they feel like body acceptance isn’t for them. They’re excluded from being able to love and accept their body, exactly as it is, because they aren’t a certain shape or size. This is amplified by the fact that most of the people working in the body acceptance space are straight-sized themselves, which isn’t always relatable if you’re in a larger body and struggling with your body image. In this episode, I’ll cover: Why this was such a big probl...

If I had to choose two words to describe the way that I eat now that I’ve found food freedom, they would probably be ‘balanced’ and ‘realistic’.

One of the biggest misconceptions around food freedom and body acceptance is that it’s unhealthy. If I had a dollar for every time I saw someone in the Instagram comments whining about people ‘promoting obesity’ or saying that it’s not healthy to be allowed to eat all foods, I’d be living on superyacht. Here’s the thing: those people are wrong. You don’t need to lose weight to live a healthy lifestyle. In this episode, I’m going to bust that myth with 7 ways to live a healthy lifestyle that have...

One of the biggest barriers to people going ‘all in’ on body acceptance and intuitive eating is caring too much about what other people think.

You probably know Steph Gorton as the woman who has helped hundreds of women boom their business (me included!), but you might not know that she spent many years undertaking her own body image battle and once wanted to help women through theirs too.

When I think about how different my life is now, compared to 4 years ago, I get emotional. I get sad for the past version of me who was struggling with binge eating, hating her body and had an unhealthy relationship with food. I get mad that so much of my life was wasted in that space, and that so many other women are going through the same thing. I get overwhelmed with gratitude for the person I am now, who has left all of that behind and is helping others do the same. In this episode, I’ll tak...

Luckily, we have people like Sarah who are here to help women get theirs back if they’re suffering from hypothalamic amenorrhea. Sarah is an exercise physio...
