Send me a message - text me! Let’s talk about convenience food – the frozen meals, the microwave rice, the jars of sauce you throw into a pan when you're too tired to think.There’s so much judgement around these foods. They're often labelled as lazy, unhealthy, or 'not real cooking', but is that really fair?In this episode, I am breaking down the stigma around convenience food and exploring how it can actually support your intuitive eating journey. From saving your sanity on chaotic evenings to helping you stay fed during tough times, convenience food has its place, and it deserves some respect!I’ll chat through the pros and cons, the classist nonsense that often gets tangled up in these conversations, and how to use convenience food in a way that feels intuitive and guilt-free. Spoiler: you're allowed to eat the ready meal *and* be a grown adult who cares about their wellbeing.What I cover in this episode:Why convenience food gets a bad reputationHow diet culture and classism influence our food choicesThe actual benefits of using convenience optionsHow to tune into what works for you without guilt or shameA gentle challenge to embrace convenience without apologyAlso, stick around to the end to hear me talk about my new course - Confident Conversations With Your Doctor - and how you can get it at the cheapest price if you leap in right now.Support the showHere are some links to places you can get my ramblings, and more importantly my intuitive eating & body confidence coaching and courses....

158. Still carrying your past? It's time to put it down
Send me a message - text me! Somewhere along the line, you might have been told who to be.Maybe you were raised to stay small, keep quiet, not take up space. Maybe you’ve always believed you’re “just someone with no willpower” or that confidence simply isn’t for you. Maybe you've dieted your whole life, or you were praised for shrinking and learned that smaller meant better.Just because that was your story, doesn’t mean it has to be your future.In this episode, I’m talking about how your past – no matter how loud it’s been – doesn’t get to decide who you are now. Ingrained beliefs around food, body image, and confidence can keep you stuck, and it's time to loosen their grip so you can finally start showing up the way you want to.Yes, there’s value in acknowledging and working through the past. But you don’t have to carry it forever.You are not defined by the old labels, the dieting history, or the way others taught you to play small.You get to choose what comes next.Support the showHere are some links to places you can get my ramblings, and more importantly my intuitive eating & body confidence coaching and courses....

157. What that viral ‘obesity X-ray’ gets completely wrong
Send me a message - text me! When a shocking image goes viral - like the so-called “obesity X-ray” recently shared by The Joe Rogan Experience - it’s easy to get swept up in fear-based narratives about obesity, dressed up as health advice. But what’s the real story behind this image, and what does it say about the way we treat people in bigger bodies?In this episode, I unpack the truth behind the image (spoiler: it’s not a real X-ray), the harm caused by fear-mongering posts like these, and what body positivity actually stands for. We’ll explore weight stigma in healthcare, the importance of behaviours over body size, and why no one owes the world a smaller body.If you’ve seen the Joe Rogan post and felt anger, shame or confusion, this conversation is for you.Support the showHere are some links to places you can get my ramblings, and more importantly my intuitive eating & body confidence coaching and courses....

From what we wear to how we show up at work, in relationships, and on social media, we’re often seeking permission or seeking approval from others.You’ll hear about a powerful conversation I had with a coaching client who realised she was constantly looking to others for approval in what she wears to work, and the colleagues that she looks up to and compares herself to.We unpack where that need for permission comes from, how it shows up in sneaky ways (hello, “does this look okay?”), and what it costs us when we And of course, there’s a reflection prompt to help you take what we’ve talked about and start applying it in your own life.💬 Ready to stop seeking permission and start owning your space?
