In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Clare O’Connell - a proud mum of two and multi-award-winning Slimming World consultant - to talk about her incredible transformation journey. Clare lost 8 stone, but what really struck me was how open and real she was about everything that came before it. From her 20s marked by grief and emotional eating, to finding the courage to make a change - not through one single “aha” moment, but through multiple small wake-up calls that built over time. We talk about what it’s really like trying to lose weight while being a parent, how group support helped her believe in herself, and how she’s teaching her kids to have a positive relationship with food. Clare’s honesty is exactly what so many people need to hear - because her story proves that long-term change is about resilience, not perfection. In this episode, we discuss: Clare’s turning point and how her journey really began Emotional eating, grief, and how it shaped her early adult life Creating a new identity after weight loss How she’s raising her kids with a healthier outlook on food The importance of group support and community Building self-belief one decision at a time Follow Clare on Instagram: @claireoconnell_sw Enjoyed this episode?
