In this episode of the Grow Through It Podcast, Phi speaks with Hayley Morcom, holistic wellness coach, author and founder of the Naturally Well program. Hayley shares her journey from the fitness and media industries into holistic health after experiencing peri and postnatal depression. She explains why traditional dieting and calorie counting often fail and how lasting transformation comes from addressing mindset, identity, and self worth.



Together, Phi and Hayley explore holistic weight loss, hormone balance, food values, intuition, and boundaries. Hayley offers practical insights on creating sustainable health by nourishing both body and mind, building supportive routines, and embracing a low-tox lifestyle. This conversation is for women ready to break free from diet culture and create a more balanced, confident, and joyful approach to wellness.
Recorded in March and released while Phi is in Bali for her Radiance retreat, this conversation explores what it really takes to create sustainable health and a thriving life beyond diet culture.
