In this episode, I talk with Kat Fox (Body Image Coach) all about returning back to our inner wisdom and our intuition. I LOVE this topics so much and it reflects my journey hugely and what I am super passionate about helping my clients with also.
Kat talks about how body image is the centre focus for a lot of people’s personal development journeys, and how when we learn to make peace and heal the relationship with our bodies, we can really step in to our power.
We talk about so much other amazing stuff as well, such as how spirituality and body image are super interlinked, how religion is really at the centre of diet culture which I had no idea abut until this conversation, how body shaming when you become a mom is super prevalent, an dhow healing the relationship with our bodies helps to pass on good self-love practices to our kids, and so much more…
She has kindly gifted y'all, my lovely listeners, her Re-write Your Body Story workbook which is INCREDIBLE. If you would like a copy, shoot me an email at info@averyunderwood.com and I'll be happy to send it over to you <3
Today I talk with Hannah-Jayne who is a mental health advocate and we talk about her lived in experience with mental health - how her diagnosis does not define her, and how she has a love hate relationship with mental health these days as it’s been tokenised through marketing and social media without real change being rooted in the fabric of our society. We also talk about how self-care is so important for our mental health… which is exactly my stance on it! Essential self-care literally helped bring me out of my depression several years back which is why I’m so passionate about empowering others to utilise the power of self-care their way everyday.

Today on the Grab Life podcast I talk with Magdalena Jensen, who is a Transformation Life Coach as well as Creative Director in the music industry. The main focus of the conversation is around the importance of AUTONOMY and compassionate communication in today’s world, especially on social media - but we also talk her own personal journey of starting her business, how the motto ‘sleep when you’re dead’ and ‘fake it til you make it’ cost her total burn out, and how her lack of self-care caused her to lash out at her loved ones and generally be negative and bad vibes.
This is LITERALLY why i’ve created my 8 week group coaching programme Self-Care Isn't Selfish, which I’ll talk more about at the end of the episode so make sure to stick around. We also talk about her digital nomading in Central America, and how the polarisation of society is driving us further away from progress which is being field by social media. SO many juicy topics basically!
If you're triggered by anything in the podcast, drop a comment or shoot us a DM @thecolourfulcoach and @magdalenajensen_coach! We are both super up for compassionately communicating with you ;)
Enjoy the episode!
Today on the Grab Life podcast I talk with James Walsham, aka The Honest Bloke - and I LOVED this conversation because it’s a topic that I find so interesting. How the patriarchy affects not only women, but men negatively, and the importance of compassion in all aspects of our life.
James’ work as mens mental health advocate and coach is something that is SO NECESSARY in the world. With 3/4 suicides in the UK being men, the ability to open up the conversation around the importance of mental health, expressing emotions and compassion for men is so monumental for not only the healing of men as a collective, but the society we live in in general.
