Ever told yourself, “I’ll just have one…” and halfway through that little voice kicks in telling you “you’ve ruined it now, so what’s the point?” only for you to demolish the whole pack
Or maybe you’ve felt that hum of panic after saying yes to a food you used to avoid that leaves you wondering why food still feels so loud in your head, even when you’re trying to “just be normal” around it
You want to be able to say yes to food and actually enjoy it, stop when you’ve had enough and not spend the rest of the night thinking about it
You also want to feel like you can say no and move on with your day knowing you can have it at any time…not have the food CALLING to you for the rest of the day
You want to trust yourself
But right now, every yes feels risky and every no feels restrictive. So how do you find that ability to just take or leave the food without a second thought either way?
That’s exactly what this episode unpacks: the difference between the kinds of yeses and nos you make with food and how to start moving from fear and control toward the kind of calm, grounded self-trust that makes food just feel like food again, not a constant battle

Ever feel like you’re constantly fighting food?
You tell yourself to resist, to stay strong, to distract yourself, but the harder you try, the louder the food noise gets. Until you cave, and it feels like you can’t stop. And then back you go around the cycle of resisting and overeating…
You’re so not alone!
In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually happening in your brain when you try to resist food and why that resistance is the VERY thing keeping you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle
If you’ve ever thought “I can’t be trusted around chocolate,” or felt like food is always on your mind, this one’s going to land deep. Because it’s not about willpower, it’s about what’s underneath the noise.
Tune in to hear what really happens when you resist food, what your cravings are trying to tell you, and how to start quieting the chaos without restriction, guilt, or fighting to keep your favourite foods out the house.

Ever found yourself halfway through the M&Ms or the Biscoff spread jar before you even realise what you’re doing and then wonder, why do I keep doing this?
Feel like you’re on the search for something after dinner but you don’t quite know why and you can NEVER just stop at one?
If yes, let me just say, you’re NOT broken. You’re also not weak...
But you HAVE been taught this one myth that’s keeping you stuck in the same eating cycle over and over again feeling all the more frustrated at yourself and wishing the food noise and mindless eating would just stop
In this episode I’m letting you into what that myth is so we can throw it in the trash and replace it with something that’s actually going to help you find that feeling of being in control around food for good without food controlling YOU
Pop it in your ears now to uncover the truth no one in the fitness or diet industry is telling you and start seeing your mindless eating in a completely new light…
And if this is something you’re struggling with on the regular and you finally want to learn the how behind breaking free of the overeating cycle and feeling in control around food in a way that lasts, you better keep your eyes peeled on my Instagram and this podcast for something dropping soon 👀
Have any of these ever crossed your mind?
“If I wasn’t dieting, I’d just eat whatever I want, whenever I want”
“I want to stop restricting, but I’m scared I won’t stop eating”
“If I brought chocolate in the house, I’d just eat the whole lot”
If so, you are not alone…
But that fear is driving a wedge between you and a world where you are completely chill and trusting of yourself with all foods
It keeps food noise on full volume, drives you round and round between restriction and bingeing and leaves you hating or criticising yourself and your body on repeat
So in this ep, I’m breaking down:
💭 Why this fear feels so real (and why it’s not your fault)
🥐 What’s actually happening in your body and brain when you restrict or diet
🔑 How to start breaking free from restrictive patterns and diet culture rules DESPITE this fear so you can build lasting self-trust and be totally chill around food
If you’ve ever feared that letting go of control means spiraling forever more, this episode is about to show you another way forward
Press play and let’s start dismantling the fear that keeps you stuck

Have you ever told yourself, “I’m just too lazy”…
Too lazy to meal prep, too lazy to exercise, too lazy to cook something decent, too lazy to stick to things…

If YES… here’s what I need you to know
Laziness doesn’t actually exist
And what you’ve been calling laziness is something entirely different which until you can name, you’ll stay stuck in cycles of shame, “screw it” spirals and feeling hopeless about ever changing

If you’ve ever thought…
"If I accepted my body I’d just let myself go"
"There’s no way I could accept my body like this"
"I’ll be happy when I’m smaller…"
Only to feel stuck in a self-hate rut, flip flopping between dieting and overeating or constantly feeling like you’re chasing a version of body peace that never feels truly settled
This is the episode for you!!
Most of us have been sold a version of body acceptance that feels impossible, unrealistic, or scary. And it’s keeping you trapped in that same cycle of all-or-nothing eating, chasing a number on the scale, and never quite feeling at peace in your body.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what body acceptance actually means (and what it doesn’t), why it feels so out of reach, and the shifts that make true confidence and freedom with food stick...
And if you’re ready to learn how to feel fully at peace in your body and around food, details of coaching are here
Have you ever promised yourself you’d “cut out sugar” only to find yourself elbow-deep in a packet of Jaffa cakes a week later?
You’re not alone and it’s not because you’re broken or addicted to sugar (even if it feels that way)
In this episode, I’m unpacking the recent buzz around a fitness influencer’s “sugar-free challenge” and why those all-or-nothing approaches almost always backfire.
More importantly, I’ll show you what to do instead if you feel like you can’t trust yourself around chocolate, sweets, or sugary foods...
We’ll dive into:
If you’re tired of feeling like sugar (or any food) has power over you, this episode will help you understand the real work of quieting the noise and how to finally step off the all-or-nothing rollercoaster

You know those days where your brain just won’t let up? Where you’re being hard on yourself, even though you know it's making the whole thing feel worse and yet you just can't stop?
You’ve been learning, unlearning, trying to be kinder to yourself… but somehow you’re right back in the spiral of self-criticism, guilt, chaos around food or body image and you can’t shake it.
This episode is about those days. Why they happen. What’s really going on. And how to respond in a way that actually helps, even when compassion feels TOTALLY out of reach so you can halt the spiral WAY sooner and not feel like you’re walking eggshells when it comes to food or your body.
And if you're ready to stop getting stuck in these same cycles, where food thoughts, guilt and body shame hijack your day no matter how much you keep telling yourself "I should know better by now" - 1:1 coaching is where we free you from that for GOOD by understanding and rewriting your body story ⬇️
Ever had one of those days where you ate a bit more, or differently than usual, maybe some buffet food, a brownie, a few handfuls of crisps and suddenly you’re spiralling? Telling yourself you’ve messed everything up, that you’re greedy, that you have no self control?
You promise to “get back on track,” maybe even redownload MyFitnessPal… again. But deep down, you’re tired of this cycle. The guilt. The shame. The constant need to fix yourself after you eat.
But what if the problem isn’t the food and it's not YOU either.
What if it’s the standards you’ve been unconsciously following...the ones that make you feel like a failure any time you’re not perfect or "healthy"?
In this episode, we unpack the hidden reason behind these spirals or guilt driven patterns with your eating, why your relationship with food feels so fragile, and how to start building one that's rooted in trust, not fear or constant "fixing"
If you’ve ever felt stuck between “being good” and “totally hit the f*** it button” this episode is for you so plug on in!!
If this resonates with you, please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it and don’t forget to leave a review or rating to help others find these conversations!
And if you're ready to build the type of lifelong trust with yourself that'll leave you feeling relaxed around food, at peace in your body and out of the endless diet trap for good, below is where we make that happen...
What happens when you stop chasing weight loss at the expense of your happiness, your mental health and your food joy? When you stop trying to fix your chaotic eating with restriction or perfection? When you finally escape the same yo-yo dieting trap that’s kept you chained to obsessive food thoughts and MyFitnessPal for over 20 years?
Well this is where you’ll find out…
In this episode, I’m joined by Lucy, one of my incredible coaching clients, to share the story of what really changes when you decide that you can’t keep going round in the same binge/restrict/diet cycle ANY more.
It’s a beautifully honest account of unlearning decades of dieting, body control, and coping mechanisms that left her brain full of calories, body hate, and self-doubt and discovering the freedom, peace, and self-trust that was waiting underneath it all!
We cover:
This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in the loop of control, shame and endless dieting. Lucy’s journey is proof that deep, sustainable change isn’t just possible, it’s totally life changing when you focus on transforming your relationship with food, your body and yourself.

I almost didn’t record today…not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because this week has been a LOT.
A rollercoaster of hormones, emotions and an invisible load I didn’t fully realise I was carrying… until I hit a wall. In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been coming up for me, from a long-awaited gynaecology appointment, to the emotional fallout that followed starting a new hormone treatment, to the honest realisation that maybe it wasn’t just the hormones after all.
This is a personal story about burnout, emotional overload and what happens when we minimise our own needs (and why we need to stop doing that).
Whether you're dealing with body image struggles, all or nothing cycles with food, or just trying to keep it all together, I hope this gives you a gentle nudge to pause, reflect and honour what you’re carrying.

Enjoy! And as per usual, leave a rating or a review or share the pod with a friend you know will benefit!
If you’ve ever tried to be kind to yourself…
To silence the nagging inner critic that’s ripping you apart in the mirror, to try eat tonight’s pizza without guilt, to tell yourself it’s okay that you didn’t nail your meals this week, that it’s completely fine the scale has gone up and it STILL didn’t land…this episode is for you.
Maybe you’ve done the affirmations, tried the “what would I say to a friend?” script, and you understand logically that beating yourself up or spiralling about this isn’t going to be helpful…and yet, that critical voice still roars back louder than ever and you end up knee deep in Ben & Jerries anyway
In this episode, I’m unpacking WHY that happens
Why self-compassion can feel fake or fragile. I’ll show you what’s really going on beneath the guilt, the body spirals, the food noise, and why forcing yourself to “just be nicer” doesn’t work (and isn’t your fault)
If you’ve felt stuck in the cycle of trying to heal your relationship with food and your body but keep getting pulled back in by panic, restriction, or self-loathing… you’re not broken. There’s a reason. And in this episode, I’ll show you what that is and where to begin instead.
Ready to finally quiet the food noise and feel at peace in your body without feeling it’s all going to fall apart as soon as someone at work tells you how much weight they’ve lost this month?
This is the deep, transformative work we do inside 1:1 coaching. We don’t just slap on affirmations, we untangle the beliefs, emotions, and patterns keeping you stuck, and build real, lasting trust in yourself around food and your body.
If you’re nodding along, feeling like this is exactly what I need, I have two spaces open this month - here’s the link!
Do you ever find yourself wondering:
“Have I eaten too much?”
“Should I really be eating again today?”
“Is this… allowed?”
Even if you’ve been doing the work to eat more intuitively or repair your relationship with food or this is totally new to you, there may still be unspoken rules running in the background, shaping your choices, stirring up guilt and making you feel like you’re always one bite away from doing it “wrong” (only for food noise to ring LOUD and a spiral feel imminent)
In this episode, we’re digging into the sneaky food rules…the ones you might not even know you have. The kind that might not even sound extreme, but still hold you back.
I’ll share a personal story to show how these internalised rules can show up even when things look “normal” on the outside
Together, we’ll explore:
✨ Why so many of us don’t realise we have rules and how to spot them
✨ What’s really going on underneath the fear of breaking them
✨ How food rules are often body rules in disguise
✨ What it looks like to respond to your body with curiosity instead of control
✨ And how to start softening these rules so you can feel more freedom, trust and ease
This episode isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about becoming aware of the quiet pressures that shape how you eat and starting to let them go.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for being hungry “again,” or like you should be able to stick to a certain way of eating… this one’s for you

Or you're thinking…
“I’m done obsessing over food but I still don’t feel calm around it”

You know that mental chatter about food that just won't quit?
The voice that wakes up with you, questioning what you ate yesterday, calculating what you’re "allowed" to eat today, whispering shame when you open the fridge (again) even when you’re not hungry?
That’s food noise.
And if this feels like your everyday reality...if food feels like a full-time job in your head...this episode is for you!
We are stripping away the buzzword fluff and marketing hype to talk about what food noise actually is, where it comes from, and most importantly, how to support it in a way that creates real, lasting peace with food.
We’re diving deep into:
What food noise actually is (hint: it’s not just hunger or cravings)
Why stopping the noise or quick fixes like appetite suppressants don’t solve food noise
How rules, shame, and control keep you stuck
What it really takes to quiet the noise for good
You’ll leave this episode with a deeper understanding of what’s underneath your food thoughts, and tangible steps to begin shifting them.
And if you’re ready for deeper, personalised support in breaking free from the mental chaos around food and your body for LIFE, apply for 1:1 coaching here!
Do you ever feel like you’re either crushing it or spiraling?
Like you should be able to stay consistent, but somehow always end up “slipping”?
Asking yourself "what happened" on a loop because it feels like a good week only happens once in a blue moon and then it's back to square one again?
In this episode, I’m calling BS on the idea that you need more willpower.
Because your problem isn’t inconsistency...it’s your unrealistic definition of consistency.
We’ll explore:
Why "falling off track" isn’t failure
How perfectionism disguises itself as discipline
What real, sustainable consistency actually looks like
So if you’re tired of the all-or-nothing cycle and constantly feeling like you're sabotaging your own progress, this one's for you!!
Let’s redefine consistency in a way that finally works for you, not against you
