Saying No When You Actually Want Something & A Life Update!
This week, I’m diving into one of the hardest things we face: saying no when deep down we really want to say yes. I’ll share the lessons I’m learning about boundaries, timing, and trusting that not every opportunity is meant for right now. Plus, a little life update—because you know I always keep it real with you - this is almost a part 1 and next week is part 2....you just have to keep tuned in!

115. Fathers Day, Healing and Next Cookbook
This Father’s Day felt different. For the first time, I can honestly say I’ve found a peace I never believed was possible — the kind that comes only after walking through the fire and slowly learning to heal. In this episode, I want to share a little of that journey with you, in the hope it brings comfort if you’re navigating your own. And tucked into that, because you are my podcast family, a gentle little announcement… my new cookbook is underway (and yes, you’re hearing it here first).

114. Finding Magical Time
Ah Time. Becoming a mum doesn’t make exercise easier—it makes it harder. In this episode, a follow on from last week, I get real about why finding time to move your body feels so tough in motherhood, and why waiting for life to “calm down” just doesn’t work. This is your gentle (but honest) reminder that prioritising yourself is not selfish, it’s essential. Think of it as a little kick up the bum to help you carve out time for exercise, reclaim your energy, and feel more like you again.

113. Daunted by Strength Training?
Have you ever walked into the weights section of the gym… taken one look around… and then quietly backed away? You’re not alone. So many women tell me they want to start strength training, but it feels confusing, intimidating, and just plain hard to get going. Today, I’m breaking down the real reasons why strength training feels like such a mountain at the start – and how you can take simple, doable steps to make it work for you.
