    We don’t always realise when we’re holding ourselves back. It can look like skipping dessert, staying quiet in meetings, dressing down, or waiting for someone to talk to us at a networking event. On the surface, it seems like no big deal. But underneath it’s a pattern of staying small, and it chips away at our confidence bit by bit.

    In this episode, I’m looking at the subtle but powerful ways we keep ourselves small in our everyday lives, and what it’s really costing us.

    I’m talking about,

    💃 The everyday signs that you might be keeping yourself small
    👗 Why it often feels safer to stay small (and why that makes sense!)
    🍰 How staying small holds you back – emotionally, professionally, and personally
    🔇 Gentle but powerful ways to start taking up more space in the world
    💭 One question to help you shift out of hiding and into showing up

    I know that playing small means you often feel overlooked, frustrated, or like the real you is hiding in the background, so this episode is for you.

    There’s even a reflection prompt inside this one, and I’d love to hear what small act of boldness you try this week!

    Oh, and I’m also telling you about my new YouTube troll. It’s hilarious, honestly!

    Have you ever found yourself reaching for something tasty – not because you’re hungry, but because it just feels good?

    Maybe it’s chocolate after a stressful day, or chips while watching telly, or just a snack because it looks too good to resist.

    That’s hedonic eating – eating for pleasure – and it’s something we all do.

    In this episode (inspired by a listener question from Rose in Canada!), we’re digging into what hedonic eating is, why it’s totally normal, and how it fits into a more peaceful, intuitive relationship with food.

    We talk about:

    What hedonic eating really means (and how it’s different from emotional eating)Why your brain is wired to want food that tastes goodHow restriction makes cravings strongerWhy satisfaction is actually protective when it comes to foodHow to enjoy food for pleasure without guilt or chaos

    Plus: Luna’s very dramatic trip to the vet (she’s fine, she’s just not talking to me about it), and the unexpected joy of an early morning food shop.

    It’s a practical, kind conversation about food, pleasure, and ditching the guilt.

    And if you have a suggestion for an episode topic, drop me a message like Rose did. All the links are below.

    Ever felt like you need to change your body before you can start feeling confident? Maybe you’ve told yourself you’ll wear the outfit, post the video, or speak up at work... once you’ve lost weight or when you feel better in your skin. Sound familiar?

    In this episode, we’re busting the myth that confidence is something you earn once you’ve reached a certain size.

    Confidence isn’t about how you look – it’s about how you show up. And you honestly don’t have to wait until you feel 100% ready to start building it.

    I’ll walk you through:

    Why we’re conditioned to believe smaller = more confidentWhat really builds confidence (it’s not your jeans size)How to stop waiting for the “right time” to take action5 small, practical ways to start showing up now, just as you are

    Whether you're struggling with body confidence, holding back in your business, or avoiding putting yourself forward in your job, this episode will give you the nudge and the know-how to take up space unapologetically.

    You don’t need to wait to feel more confident. You can start now.

    Today I had a surprising realisation over breakfast. It turns out, I still love overnight oats. I first discovered them during my Slimming World days. So why am I still eating them now, years after letting go of food rules and diet plans? Because I actually enjoy them, and I think that’s worth talking about a little bit.

    This episode explores how we can reclaim foods from our dieting past, how some meals still serve us, and how others (like pasta salad!) might be worth revisiting in a whole new way. If you've ever questioned why you eat what you eat, or avoided something that reminds you of old diet habits, this one’s for you.

    What You’ll Hear:

    Why it’s okay to enjoy a food you discovered while dietingHow to tell if a food is serving you now, or just sticking around from habitFoods we avoid because they trigger diet culture memoriesReclaiming and reinventing old meals on your own termsHow to tune into satisfaction instead of rules

    Let’s Chat!
    Do you still eat foods from your dieting days? Or have you avoided something you might actually love? I’d love to hear your story. Send me a message, or tag me on socials!

    The clothes you wear impact your confidence, self-expression, and even your success - fact! I wanted to get into this subject with someone who knows this subject inside out, so in this episode, I’m joined by Samantha Harman, The Style Editor to explore the powerful connection between style, body image, and self-worth.

    We talk about how the fashion industry reinforces unrealistic beauty standards, the struggles of plus-size shopping, and why so many women feel disconnected from their wardrobes.

    Samantha shares how clothing can actually be a tool for empowerment rather than frustration, and why breaking free from rigid style rules can help you show up with confidence in every part of your life.

    If you’re anything like me you’ll understand the feeling of standing in front of your wardrobe, feeling lost, wondering why clothes shopping feels so difficult. If you have, this conversation is for you.


    We’re talking about:

    ✔️ Why style is about more than just clothes - it’s about confidence and energy
    ✔️ How your star signs should determine what you wear and how you show up
    ✔️ How the fashion industry fails women, especially plus-size shoppers
    ✔️ Why traditional styling advice can be limiting rather than empowering
    ✔️ The role of body image in our clothing choices and how to shift our mindset
    ✔️ Practical steps to rebuild a wardrobe that truly serves you

    Have you ever heard the phrase “He’s punching above his weight” and stopped to think about what it really means? It’s often said as a joke, but underneath it lies a deeper issue—the idea that a woman’s worth is defined by how she looks, while a man’s worth is measured by his success, humour, or status.

    In this episode, we dive into the impact of the male gaze and the unrealistic pressures placed on women to be seen as ‘attractive enough.’ We explore how these outdated ideas shape relationships, self-worth, and body image—and, most importantly, how we can start to break free from them.

    I'm talking about:
    ✅ Why the phrase “He’s punching” is more damaging than it seems
    ✅ How media, dating culture, and social norms reinforce the male gaze
    ✅ The emotional impact of feeling like you have to ‘maintain’ your attractiveness
    ✅ How to reclaim your body and self-worth from external validation
    ✅ Ways to challenge and shut down these outdated ideas when you hear them

    Also, there's an update on my coaching prices. I've DROPPED them! Take a look at the "work with me" link below.

    Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to let go of old habits, even when you know they aren’t really helping you? You might recognise that dieting makes you miserable, but you keep going back. Or maybe you’re fully aware that constantly body-checking in the mirror isn’t doing you any favours, yet you just can’t seem to stop.

    You’re not the only one - I was there with you at one point. I knew that the dieting, the binge eating, and the criticism in the mirror was not good for me, but I did it over and over again.

    We don’t hold onto behaviours for no reason though. There’s always something deeper at play. Quite often those old habits around food and body image are actually trying to protect us - even if they’re also keeping us stuck, and even if it doesn’t feel like it.

    So in this episode of The Intuitive Eating & Body Positivity Podcast I’m looking at 3 of the biggest reasons why it’s so hard to stop dieting, what keeps you holding on to old behaviours, and asking you how do they really serve you?

    Also, I’ll tell you how I’m quite amazed at the new drink I discovered this week - it blew my mind when I found it 🤯

    Have you ever caught yourself explaining your diet to someone?

    Diet culture has convinced us that we need to justify what we eat and why we eat it, and some of those justifications are downright ridiculous!

    In this episode, I’m going to give you 20 of my favourite diet excuses, explaining why they’re a little bit crazy, laughing at the nonsense, and uncovering the real reasons why we feel the need to explain our food choices.

    If you’ve ever said things like “It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle!” or “I have to track everything or I’ll lose control,” then this episode is for you!

    Let’s challenge these beliefs, find some food freedom, and ditch the justifications.

    Over the years, we’ve seen celebrities and influencers championing body positivity, rejecting diet culture and embracing self-acceptance. Many of us found comfort in their messages, feeling seen and supported in our own body positivity journeys..

    But lately, there’s been a clear change. Some of the same people who built their platforms on rejecting weight loss culture have now started losing weight.

    Completely co-incidentally (yeh right….) the rise of GLP-1 injections such as Ozempic seems to have escalated this, and now their once-empowering messages have been replaced with posts about body “transformation” and the supposed benefits of shedding weight.

    So, if you’ve felt let down by this, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about why this happens, why it hurts so much, and why your frustration is completely valid.

    Inspired by a new book I’m reading - Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant - I’ve been thinking about how we can help our relationship with food and our bodies from a more holistic perspective.

    Inspired by the book "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It" by Kamal Ravikant, I’m asking you to ask yourself one question - "Would I do this if I truly loved myself?"

    In this episode of the Intuitive Eating & Body Positivity Podcast, I’m talking about how asking yourself that one question can reshape your relationship with food, your body, and your overall well-being.

    In any given moment this question can guide our choices around food, clothing, self-care, and personal development, helping us break free from the constraints of diet culture and weight stigma.

    Join me as we uncover how embracing self-love can lead to a more fulfilling and positive life.

    This week, I'm talking about making space for the new you. It’s all about creating an environment that uplifts and supports the person you’re becoming, not the one diet culture tried to shape you into.

    From your kitchen cupboards to your wardrobe (and even your mindset), little changes can make a big difference. In this episode I want to help you explore your surroundings and how to make them reflect your new, unapologetic self - without overwhelm or a massive budget.

    Here’s what I’m chatting to you about this week:

    ✨ Clearing out the kitchen clutter and swapping diet-focused tools for things that bring you joy—yes, I’m looking at those scabby old containers!

    👗 Saying goodbye to clothes that don’t fit or spark joy, and making your wardrobe a space you love opening every day.

    🍽 Creating an eating space that makes meals feel enjoyable, whether it’s swapping out chipped plates or upgrading to cutlery you actually like.

    💡 Sprucing up your home with lighting, organisation, or little touches that make your spaces feel brighter and more “you.”

    🧠 Making emotional space by clearing out negative thoughts and building in small, positive routines like gratitude or joy jars.

    This episode is packed with practical tips to help you create a home (and a headspace) that’s as fabulous as the new you. Are you ready? Hit play >>

    Some people love the chat with the consultant in front of everyone at the diet club, and some hate it. What camp are you in? Either way, there was always the same question..... "how much are you going to lose this week?". Now first off, I have no idea. But still I, like everyone else there, picked a number..... "I'll lose 2lbs this week".

    What is with that number? Why did I pick it? Why did half the diet club pick it? This week I'm pondering over that and trying to work out why the 2lbs loss was such a popular target.

    Spoiler alert! I'm also going to be telling you why it's a bit ridiculous!

    Let's chat about the struggles with achieving that 2lbs loss, why it feels different depending on the week you have just had, how our bodies behave naturally, and how setting that 2lbs target for the week can encourage more restriction and more guilt.

    Hello, intuitive eaters! I'm thrilled to be back with you after a short break. I initially planned to return in September, but I missed our conversations and your wonderful support. Thank you for your lovely messages wishing me well during my time off; they truly mean a lot to me!

    What’s New?

    During my break, I took some time to reflect on the Eat From Within membership options. I’m excited to announce a new 4-month subscription plan! Imagine entering the holiday season with a healthier relationship with food and body image. You could enjoy Christmas dinner without the stress of calorie counting or worrying about your outfit. Check out the links section below in the show notes to sign up!

    This Week’s Topic: My Experience with Noom

    In this episode, I’m telling you all about my experience with Noom, a popular app that claims to support weight loss through a unique approach.

    I wanted to try it on your behalf and share my insights from an intuitive eating perspective. I’m going to spill the beans on all of this:

    The sign-up processCalorie counting, and whether I was given enoughTracking and logging foodColour-coded food categoriesDaily weigh-ins and how they made me feelExercise trackingConstant reminders from the appIn-app lessonsNoom’s holistic approach to well-beingHow it works with intuitive eatingHow it feels mentally as well as physicallyAnd whether I’d recommend it or not

    Also, the episode I refer to about standing on the scales and weighing myself, and what that brought up for me, is way back at episode 4. Go give it a listen!

    I'm taking a little break. Just having a few weeks off. While I do that I'm giving you the replays of some of my most popular episodes.

    Whether you've heard them before or not, I encourage you to give these replays a listen and see if you notice anything new. Just a heads up, there may be some outdated details like my previous business name and social media handles, so be sure to check the show notes for accurate information.

    Intuitive eating helps improve your relationship with food, but the desire to lose weight can often remain, so can you use intuitive eating for weight loss? This week I'm talking about whether or not it is possible to be an intuitive eater and lose weight at the same time.

    Let’s have a good natter about the will to lose weight, the correlation between weight and health, mindset, values, goals, and what to do if you’re in that middle ground between wanting to lose weight and wanting to be an intuitive eater.

    In this episode, we explore the ways to kickstart your journey away from dieting and into intuitive eating.

    If you have started intuitive eating, this is a good time to bring your focus back. But if you’re new to it, here are a few starting points to get going with it:

    ✨ How can you begin intuitive eating today?

    ✨ Are you aware of the impact of diet culture in your surroundings?

    ✨ Are you in tune with your body's cues for hunger and fullness?

    ✨ What does your mealtime routine look like at home?

    ✨ Do you give yourself intentional, focused time to eat?

    ✨ Are distractions keeping you from listening to your inner intuitive eater?

    ✨Are you mindful of what you're eating, or is it mindless eating?

    ✨Are you introducing foods you truly enjoy into your diet?

    ✨Have you decluttered your social media of negativity?

    Remember, the beauty of intuitive eating lies in its pace. Take your time, embrace these principles gradually, and grow comfortable with each step along the way.

    This one is by far the most listened to, so I thought we'd start here!

    It seems when I started this podcast we were just coming out of the dreaded lockdowns, so it was odd listening back to how I was talking about taking a trip into town and finally getting a long overdue bra fitting.

    But the main topic of the episode is the reasons why it's not your fault if you find yourself constantly yo-yo dieting. I discuss the impact of diet culture and beauty standards on our subconscious and how it affects our self-image. I also share some eye-opening observations from a week-long experiment I conducted to track the prevalence of diet and beauty-related content in our daily lives.

    I also touch on the first principle of intuitive eating, which is rejecting the diet mentality. It's a challenging process, especially when we're constantly bombarded with messages that reinforce unrealistic beauty standards.

    Plus I share a positive encounter where individuals engaged in an actual sensible conversation about weight loss and overall health!

    Whether you're new to intuitive eating or not, this is a great one to listen to and get some awareness of the influences around you on your eating habits and body confidence.

    A quick update on where I am right now, and my plans for the next few weeks.

    Don't panic, I'm not quitting the show, but I do need to take a little break. Listen in and I'll tell you what my plans are for the podcast for while I'm away.

    Mop up your tears, know that I'm still here, and take advantage of the replays I'm going to share with you. Revisiting old episodes really can provide new insights and shine a light on some aspects of intuitive eating and body positivity that you might not have spotted yet.

    Thank you so much for the support and understanding that you lovely listeners always give me. I promise to return with fresh episodes in September.

    Stay in touch though. Look at all these lovely links full of ways that you can still have me in your world. 👇👇
