This week's podcast dives deep into the essential practice of self-compassion, a crucial element for personal growth and emotional well-being.
So many of us struggle with harsh self-criticism and unrealistic perfectionism, often forgetting to treat ourselves with the kindness we readily offer others. So today we’ll be highlighting the importance of becoming our own supportive parent, encouraging us to soften our internal dialogue and embrace our flaws while celebrating our strengths.
By recognising the difference between perception and reality, we can challenge negative self-talk and foster a more compassionate mindset. Ultimately, this episode is all about empowering you to let go of perfectionism and cultivate a gentler, more authentic approach to life.
We’ll cover:
-Why self-compassion is essential for personal growth and overcoming perfectionism in daily life.
-How recognising and challenging negative self-talk can significantly improve your overall wellbeing.
-Learning to accept our flaws and celebrate our strengths to allow us to embrace our most authentic selves.

Do you ever get tempted by all the amazing solutions that are out there these days for your fitness and wellbeing. Whether it’s the latest scientifically proven workout routine that’s going to give you results in no time at all, or you’re curious about cold water therapy, or you fancy trying out a few supplements that you’ve read about - there always seems to be something new to distract us and offer us a new way to do things.
And sure, there’s a lot of fun stuff out there to explore. BUT if we don’t have the fundamental and usually very simple, cheap and easy things in the bag already, then we could be missing a huge trick.
So today I want to talk about why keeping it simple is queen and how to incorporate those simple practices (for EXERCISE, NUTRITION and WELLBEING) into your day to day to create the foundations for your best results ever.

Fear of failure - we all suffer from it! And whether we know that our inaction, avoidance and inability to embrace growth is about that fear or not - for sure it’s holding us back in at least one, if not many areas of our lives.
So today, we’re going to get stuck in and explore:
-how can you identify this fear in your life (including procrastination, perfectionism, avoidance, helplessness and feeling out of control)
-how might it be showing up for you around fitness, wellness and life in general
-and what can you do to start changing this narrative?
And then let’s learn to welcome the fear - maybe even fully embrace it as a true catalyst for change.

I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but the truth is that for a lot of us, dieting and working out is something that comes and goes in our lives a lot. We start full of enthusiasm, we do great for a little while and then life happens, we stop, the results we wanted fail to come and we find ourselves back at square one again.
And if you’ve done that more than a couple of times in your life, then I hate to be the bearer of bad news - but your next diet or workout regime probably isn’t going to work either, at least not for the long term.
Because it’s not just the diet or exercise programme that matters here - in fact those are among the least important things for creating your success.
So in this week’s episode I’m going to be revealing all about the inner work that you need to do, if you want to finally break free from this cycle and finally find the results that you want to - and more importantly, make sure those results, and the good habits that go with them actually last this time!

Hands up if you’ve experienced changes to your mental capacity lately? Whether it’s brain fog, which is a common symptom of the peri to post menopause years, or memory loss here and there, or just feeling less sharp and less able to manage lots of things all at once like you used to, it can actually be a really scary thing to experience.
So in this week’s episode, I’ll be unpicking exactly what’s going on and why you might be experiencing this, and then talking about the surprising things you can be doing to help, including:
-Why blood sugar matters to your brain function
-How getting your heart rate up can release hormones that actually protect your brain AND improve learning and memory capacity
-The surprising ways in which more muscle can boost your brain

This week, get ready for a bit of a rant. Because one of the things that I really get a bee in my bonnet about is the way society works, or more precisely doesn’t work, particularly for women, and why this is the cause of so much of our stress and overwhelm.
So today I want to unpick that. I want to show you that what you’re feeling is the product of what we’re surrounded by every single day. BUT - and this is important - I also want to show you that just because it comes from outside, it doesn't mean there’s nothing we can do about it. So we’ll also be getting into how you can start to change your perspective on all of this to give yourself the gift of less stress and overwhelm.
We’ll talk about:
-The have it all myth
-A working dynamic that no longer actually works for us
-The mental load that we carry
-Expectations around our bodies and what they should look like
-Health inequalities

We all have too many shoulds in our lives - from the way we should parent, to the things we should say yes to, to the dress size that we think we should be, to the standards that we should be living up to.
And all the while that we are shoulding ourselves, we’re often stepping further away from the things we actually want for ourselves - the things that are actually important. Including a fitter, healthier and calmer life with less stress, more freedom and more balance.
So today, we’re going to explore those shoulds - where they might be showing up for you right now, and then I’ll share a really simple 3-step plan to parking those shoulds and finding more time and energy for yourself instead.

Hands up if it sometimes feels like emotional and comfort eating has a real hold on you - and if it’s something you’d like to learn to manage better. Well if that’s the case, then this is going to be a real eye opener for you around the strategies that you can be using to tackle that and then to create a much more balanced and relaxed relationship with food instead.
Here’s what we’ll be talking about:
-That emotional and comfort eating isn’t necessarily bad (yes, you heard that right!)
-The role of guilt around our food choices
-Learning to actually ‘feel’ your feelings
-Rules and restriction around food and how they actually contribute to more of what you don’t want
-Understanding the conditions you have around exactly when you will allow yourself to eat the way you really want to
….and so much more. This is going to be invaluable in showing you that tackling an excess of comfort and emotional eating simply cannot be about having more control or willpower. But is all about the mindset that we approach food with, how we deal with our emotions around food (and life in general) and how we create a different mental space around food that’s going to serve us in a much better way.

Oh that pesky midlife weight gain. I know for sure that it’s something that so many women seem to struggle with at this stage - particularly that extra weight that seems to accumulate out of nowhere around the tummy. And then feels almost impossible to shift.
Well there is good reason it’s happening and believe me when I say it’s definitely not just happening to you. This is a common side effect of the peri to post-menopause transition. But that doesn’t mean we’re powerless to do anything about it - in fact quite the opposite. So, today, we’re going to get into why this is happening, and then talk about a few practical steps you can take to reduce that central weight gain, including:
-HRT
-Sleep hygiene
-Focusing on quality in your nutrition (no more diets!)
-Strength training
-Calm and restorative activity
And also - the magic of leaning into acceptance!

So today, I want to dive into this:
-what is good girl syndrome
-how might it be holding you back right now
-and what are some of the first steps you can take to emerge from the other side feeling more like yourself and having more trust and confidence in yourself too.

Self care has been bandied around for years now hasn’t it - and while I will always talk about the vital need for us all to engage in self care, I also know that some of us have maybe grown a bit weary of the phrase. And that it can feel like yet another stick to beat ourselves up with when we’re not doing self care the way we are supposed to.
But look, I’m not about to stop banging this drum any time soon, so what I want to talk about today is what self care really looks like, how it can look inside a busy life, and to also tackle a misconception or two around exactly what self care is and how we can engage in it in a truly positive way.
Including:
-Honouring your boundaries
-Becoming aware of how stress is serving you right now
-Making sleep a priority
-Practicing gratitude
-Connecting with yourself
-Movement - ANY movement
-Working on your self esteem and confidence

Self sabotage - it’s something that I think we’ve all done right. Being amazing with exercise and nutrition all week before throwing in the towel on a Friday night as you dive into a tub of celebrations and vow you’ll start again next week. But in my world, when this happens, it’s not just some senseless act that we do to deliberately undo all of our good work - this is something that happens for a few very good, very human reasons.
So, I’m going to unpick all of this in today’s episode and:
-discover what’s actually going on when you think you’re sabotaging yourself
-talk about what we can do to engage in less destructive or unhelpful behaviour in the future.

The truth is that in our modern world of tech, and diets and social media, many of us have lost trust in ourselves and in our bodies. Which can lead to us feeling disconnected and low in self esteem and confidence. But the great news is that there are things we can definitely do to re-learn that trust and therefore to reconnect with ourselves, to the things that our body is telling us and to the innate wisdom that we all have within us that is just waiting to be accessed.
So today I’ll be talking about:
-a couple of the key ways in which many of us have lost our trust with ourselves
-and how we can start to build that back to feel better, to be healthier, and to feel so much more confident and at peace with ourselves.

If you’ve ever uttered the words “I just prefer it when I’m busy”, the truth is that this could be a little lie that is holding you back from making the changes in your life that you would really like to.
In fact, we’re all pretty good at telling ourselves little lies to keep us protected, safe and in the identities that we’ve become used to for ourselves. But what if those lies aren’t actually serving us in the best way they possibly could. And what if there is a different, better way to think about things?
Well that’s what we’ll be exploring today - 3 little lies that many of us tell ourselves. What they are, why they probably aren’t true and what we need to do instead.
