I’ll break down what happens when your rhythm falls out of sync (think dullness, breakouts, and fatigue) and how small changes — like meal timing, light exposure, and better sleep habits — can help you get back in tune. If you’ve ever felt like your skin looks tired no matter what products you use, this one’s for you. Listen now to discover how resetting your rhythm can reset your glow.

We’ve all got one — that drawer full of half-used moisturisers, forgotten serums, and exfoliators that promised the world but didn’t deliver. In this episode, I’m digging into why so many products end up in the skincare graveyard… and how to stop wasting your money. We’ll talk about common mistakes I see (like splurging £100 on a moisturiser and expecting miracles), how to know where to actually invest in your routine, and how to repurpose those unloved products instead of letting them rot in the dark. Spoiler: your cracked heels are about to glow. Because skincare shouldn’t be overwhelming, and your money deserves better than a dusty drawer of regrets.

We’ve all seen the hype – powders, berries, seeds, and potions claiming to be the secret to perfect health and glowing skin. But here’s the truth: there is no single ‘superfood’ that can fix everything. In this episode, I’m breaking down the myth once and for all. We’ll talk about what actually makes a food nutrient-dense, how fear around calories (especially in foods like avocados) is holding people back from real nourishment, and why focusing on just one ingredient completely misses the point. Because if superfoods were the answer? We wouldn’t be facing record levels of diet-related disease. Let’s bring it back to balance, context, and clarity – no buzzwords required. And next time… we’re heading into the Skin Graveyard – yes, that drawer where all your half-used skincare goes to die. Stay tuned.

If you’ve been burning out, breaking out, or bouncing between trends, this episode will help you get back in sync with your body’s real needs.

If you’ve ever thought your skin might be trying to tell you something… this is the episode for you.

Wellness is supposed to be about feeling better in your body — but somewhere along the way, it started looking a lot like dieting in disguise. In this episode, I’m unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways diet culture has crept into wellness spaces: clean eating rules, “gut health” used as a weight loss code, and the pressure to chase health through appearance. We’ll talk about how this affects your relationship with food, your skin, and your sense of self — and what it means to truly support your health without falling into the perfectionism trap.

No shame, no fluff, just real advice for real skin.

“Medical grade.” “Clean.” “Non-toxic.” “Natural.”They sound reassuring – but do they actually mean anything? In this episode, I’m breaking down the skincare buzzwords I hear clients repeat all the time — and explaining why they’re often just clever marketing.
