My guest on the show today is Grace Alice Ó Sé, a sex and intimacy specialist and author from Kerry, Ireland. She is deeply passionate about playing her part in making Ireland a more sex-positive, sex-literate nation – one where we can talk honestly and without shame about ALL aspects of sexuality. Sex is a very intimate and private part of our lives, and body image issues often coincide with struggles around sex or intimacy, which we get into in this episode, along with:
An intro to Grace and why she does what she does today
The discomfort and shame that often arises when speaking about sex and how to move past this
What holds people back from addressing sexual issues
Addressing sex and intimacy issues as a couple
The intersection between sex, intimacy and body image issues
The body image issues Grace sees impacting women’s sex lives
The value of embodiment and sensuality in helping us connect with pleasure
Using food as a way to express pleasure
The role of self-pleasure in improving confidence
The pressure to look ‘perfect’ to satisfy your partner
Body changes and sex

In this real-life, unscripted nutrition counselling session, I speak with a woman who has struggled with body image her entire life; her earliest memory of disliking her body being when she was 8 years old. She now feels in a good place with food, but her struggles with body image remain, which is heavily impacting her relationships not just with others, but with herself.
If you struggle with body image or would just like to feel more comfortable in your own skin, this is a must-listen.

This week, in another real-life, unscripted nutrition counselling session, I speak with a woman with diabetes who is struggling to rediscover her intuitive eater while managing a chronic health condition.
Having a chronic health condition such as diabetes can feel, as this woman describes, "very unfair", as it adds an extra layer of complexity to food and your choices. There is however, a way to make space for reconnecting with your intuitive eater and managing a chronic health condition, such as diabetes, allergies, coeliac disease, IBS or other health conditions.
In this episode, we speak about these challenges and I also give you some quick-fire advice on diabetes management and intuitive eating. Even if you don't have diabetes, I can almost guarantee you will learn something from this episode.

This week, in another real-life, unscripted nutrition counselling session, I speak with a woman who is struggling to integrate a regular and consistent exercise routine into her life.
Exercise for her has always been associated with diet plans and losing weight, or has been used as a stick to beat herself with after she ‘fell off the wagon’. She has a desire to change that but is fearful that she’ll fall into old habits and is unsure how to go about this change.

Today I speak with a woman who feels like her eating is chaotic and out of control. She has struggled with anorexia in the past and is now struggling with binge eating. Her attempts to get a handle on her issues with food have led her down many different paths, but she feels lost as to what her next step should be. This episode demonstrates that struggles with food may be about much more than the food itself.

My guest on the show today is one of my long-term clients, Amy, who shares her story with us of coming from a place of feeling stressed and obsessed with food and her body, to now feeling completely free and at peace around food.
Her personal journey has had such a huge impact on her life, not only on her relationship with food and her body but also on her relationship with alcohol. As she began to rebuild her relationship with food, she started to question the impact that alcohol had on her life and discovered that she wasn’t willing to pay the costs anymore.
Her sober curiosity has led her to try and help others who also feel the same, by setting up Nolo, Ireland’s newest non-alcoholic bottle boutique. Nolo delivers an impressive collection of delicious no/low alcohol drinks. You can find out more here.
We speak about:
What her relationship with food was like prior to embarking on an intuitive eating journey
What motivated her to ditch dieting and embrace intuitive eating
The breakthroughs she experienced along the way and how she rebuilt her self-trust
How her goals shifted over time and how she dealt with the slow pace of healing
What helped her overcome her fear of weight gain
What her life looks like now
Why she decided to reduce alcohol in her life and how this change has affected her life
How this led to setting up her own business
