There was one vital step that I missed at the beginning of my intuitive eating journey, and it made the entire process so much more difficult! It’s tempting to jump straight from ‘all restriction’ to ‘all freedom’, hoping that you’ll find that effortlessly healthy balance quickly… yet instead, the ratio of burgers to broccoli isn’t working out how you expected. If you’re about to start your food freedom journey (or you’ve started but can’t get out of the ‘eat everything in sight’ phase), grab a ...

Kylie Jenner has been coming under fire recently for crying about being criticised for her looks.

Malnutrition, your hair falling out, nausea, getting a healthy organ amputated… do these things sound like ‘health’ to you? Probably not. Yet they’re synonymous with weight loss surgeries and Ozempic, which are touted as the ‘gold standard’ for weight loss and are often undertaken in the name of health. WILD, right?! I’m horrified by the rise of Ozempic and genuinely scared about the impact this is having on society, because we aren’t being informed about all of the facts behind these ‘magic bul...

Moving your body is something that seems simple on the surface, but it’s not always that easy.

One of the sneakiest things that holds you back from total food and body freedom journey is the need to be ‘perfect’. Sure, logically you know that you don’t have to be perfect and ‘perfect’ doesn’t really even exist, but deep down you’re still chasing that unattainable goal and beating yourself up when you don’t achieve it. Spoiler alert: you never will. This keeps coming up in my client sessions, so let’s talk about it! In this episode, I’ll share: How perfectionism holds you back My dog shit ...

When you finally find food freedom and start intuitive eating, you realise that there are a lot of things you’ve always considered ‘wrong’ in relation to food that actually… aren’t? In fact, you come to realise that you’ve got a multitude of carefully constructed rules and restrictions that were handed to you by diet culture, that you’ve come to accept as fact. They can stick around for a LONG time after you’ve found freedom, so today I’m calling out my top 10 things that feel ‘wrong’ but aren’t...

It got me reflecting on how my confidence has grown and shifted over the past few years, particularly because of one simple thing I keep doing: getting out of my comfort zone.

Do you see people who have an effortlessly healthy balance with food and think to yourself “HOW?! HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!”. You wish you had an easy balance, but you can’t imagine ever getting there because it’s so far removed from your current reality (especially because right now you inhale the entire contents of the pantry after dinner every night). If this is you, if you want to eat intuitively and reach the ‘balance’ part of doing so, but you don’t know how the heck you’re supposed to do that ...

As someone who has spent a lot of time face-to-face with disordered eating (both in myself and the women I work with!) I’m fascinated by its prevalence and how we aren’t speaking enough about it as a society. Instead of watching out for red flags in our relationship with food, we’re practically praised when we choose an unhealthy, disordered path in the name of ‘health’. Today’s guest, Alyssa Booth from Empowered Body Coaching, supports those dealing with disordered eating and diagnosed eating d...

If you’re embarking on a body acceptance journey, you may still have that little voice at the back of your mind saying ‘but I don’t want to gain weight!’.

Weight stigma is a huge problem within society, and - as today’s guest, Jo Reader or ‘The Body Empowerment Coach’, will share - even within the psychologists’ therapy room. In this episode, Jo and I s...
