169. Why appearance anxiety hides what you achieve in a day
If you spend a lot of your day thinking about how you look, it is easy to assume that your body image and confidence will change depending on what you see in the mirror. What you often miss is how much of your life has nothing to do with your appearance at all. Appearance anxiety can take over so quickly that you forget what your day actually involves. You forget the decisions you make, the people you support, the problems you solve and all the ways you show up without even thinking about it.This week’s article walks you through what is really happening in your day and why your achievements will give you far better evidence of who you are than your appearance ever will. When you take a step back and look at your day properly, you will realise how much you do that has nothing to do with your appearance, and it is such a relief when you see it clearly.So this week I give you an honest look at why feeling confident in your body can be more to do with your actions than your looks, and how much your life already proves this.

168. Was it something I said?
Do you ever find yourself worrying that you said the wrong thing or caused a shift in a relationship? Asking yourself “was it something I said?” or “what did I do?”.Many women slip into overthinking relationships because old patterns make them assume they are at fault. One small change in someone’s behaviour and you’re in self-blame before you can even pause to question it.This article looks at why you react that way and what might really be happening beneath the surface. I’m talking about the link between old patterns, the inner critic and relationships, and the instinct to blame yourself.You will see how much of this comes from conditioning rather than truth, and how freeing it can be to question those automatic thoughts.If you want a calmer, kinder way to understand your relationships, take a moment to read this one.

That’s what this episode is about – the ways that feeling less well can start to shake your self-belief.I wrote this episode based on my own feelings, but also for the woman who’s always been strong, capable, and “on it”, and now finds herself wondering why she doesn’t quite feel like that version of herself anymore. It’s a gentle reminder that you don’t have to be at your best to still be confident, and worthy, and successful.💛 Come and have a listen. Let’s talk about what confidence really looks like when your body feels different, and how you can begin to trust yourself again.Support the show🩷 Get my Bright Friday bundles here 🩷 Here are some links to places you can get my ramblings, and more importantly my confidence coaching and courses....

166. What does your posture say about your confidence?
Take my quick listener habits surveyHave you ever noticed how your posture changes when you’re feeling confident… or when you’re not?In this episode, I’m exploring the powerful link between posture and confidence — how the way you sit, stand, and move can reflect what’s really going on inside. Your body language tells a story about your self-belief, and understanding it can help you build calm, grounded, embodied confidence.This isn’t about forcing yourself to stand up straight or fake confidence. It’s about learning to listen to your body and notice how posture changes when you feel safe, capable, or seen. When you’ve spent years trying to make yourself smaller, it’s easy to carry that story in your shoulders, your stance, even your breath.We’ll talk about how posture affects confidence and self-esteem, what it means to take up space without apology, and why true confidence isn’t something you perform — it’s something you feel.You’ll leave this episode with a deeper awareness of your mind-body connection and a new respect for how your body supports your confidence, presence, and power.In this episode, we cover:The connection between posture and confidenceHow body language reflects self-esteem and self-trustWhy we subconsciously shrink ourselves and how awareness begins changeWhat embodied confidence really feels likeThe subtle shift that happens when you allow yourself to take up spaceSupport the show🩷 Get my Bright Friday bundles here 🩷 Here are some links to places you can get my ramblings, and more importantly my confidence coaching and courses....

165. Rise From Within
Rise From Within Launch Episode — Welcome to the New ChapterHang on a minute! Something's changed around here!!That's right. Introducing the new era for this podcast, Rise From Within — for the woman who wants to stand tall and show up with confidence.In this first episode under the new name, I’m sharing why the podcast has evolved from The Intuitive Eating & Body Positivity Podcast into Rise From Within, a show for women who are ready to own their space in life, in business, and in their bodies.I took a step back for a couple of months to have a think about the direction I wanted the podcast to go in, and I realised my message needed to grow with me and with my business direction. Confidence has always been at the heart of everything I do. Not just food or body image confidence, but the deep, inner self‑confidence that helps you show up fully as yourself too.In this episode, I talk about the evolution of the show, what Rise From Within stands for, and how we’ll explore the many layers of confidence. We're talking all things confidence, from boundaries and visibility, to body acceptance and business leadership.If you’ve been here since the early days, don’t worry, the intuitive eating and body confidence are still very much part of our world, but we’re expanding the conversation now. When you heal your relationship with food and your body, you make room for *so much more growth, *and I want to help you explore that growth too.So, if you’re ready to rise in confidence, self‑belief, and presence — this is where it begins. I hope you're going to enjoy it as much as I will.🎧 Hosted by Terri Pugh — Women’s Confidence & Body Image Coach🌿 For the woman who wants to stand tall and show up with confidenceSupport the show🩷 Get my Bright Friday bundles here 🩷 Here are some links to places you can get my ramblings, and more importantly my confidence coaching and courses....
