The festive season brings plenty of fun - parties, mince pies, Christmas decorations, beach trips with your friends - but it can also bring a lot of ‘shoulds’, with a side serving of guilt and shame if you don’t live up to them. This year, I’d love you to take a healthier approach to the festive season: choose nourishment over punishment. Today’s episode is taken from a talk I recently did for The Hive, and it’s all about ditching the ‘shoulds’, the guilt and the shame for the festive season, so...

Recently, my coach suggested that I shift away from ‘body image and food freedom’ coaching and into confidence coaching - without the focus on our relationship with our bodies. My answer was “respectfully, f*ck that - I care too much about my mission!”. Yet the conversation got me thinking about how body confidence and ‘regular’ confidence are actually quite interchangeable, and the work I do helps with both. Today, I’m giving you six actionable lessons that will help you to become confident AF ...

Is anyone else feeling like they’re absolutely slogging it out to make it to the end of the year? I can relate! Many of us feel the pressure to ‘do it all’, and when we can’t balance all of our commitments perfectly, we feel like we’re failing - especially when we reach the busy season and our plates are extra full. That’s why I’m a huge believer in learning to embrace the season that you’re in (and hopefully notice that it’s coming before you get smacked over the head with a reminder from your ...

When you spend a lifetime at war with your body, it’s easy to feel disconnected from it. This makes it harder to practice intuitive eating (how are you supposed to TRUST your body’s cues?!), harder to enjoy movement (every workout is a fight) and harder to show it love (when what you see in the mirror doesn’t feel like ‘you’). Emma Walkinshaw is a Body Confidence Coach and accredited yoga instructor who is passionate about helping women to build a connection with their bodies, so that they can w...

We need to start the conversation about how we can support the men in our lives to love themselves more, have more freedom in how they express themselves and to join the body acceptance movement, and I could think of no better person to speak on the topic than Jake Kneesh.

Being in a place designed specifically for plus size people was the most welcoming, joyous and comfortable experience, where I truly felt like I belonged.
