This episode is all about ditching rigid food rules and tuning in to what your body truly needs. It's easy to get caught up in absolutes when it comes to nutrition, but there's real freedom in letting go of the rulebook and learning to trust your body's signals.

We also explore how to nurture a positive relationship with food in children, and what it means to set them up for long-term nutritional well-being – without pressure, guilt, or shame.

This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and incredibly freeing. I think you’re going to love it.


The topics we discuss are:

  • Sophie's journey with food growing up
  • Sophie's journey to Veganism
  • Craving red meat after being vegan
  • Adding more animal products into your diet

This week, I’m joined by my friend and incredible entrepreneur, Isobel Perl — the founder of PERL Cosmetics, a skincare brand known for its minimal-ingredient, high-impact products.


PERL was born during lockdown, and thanks to Isobel’s unique approach to formulation, storytelling, and involving her community in the brand journey, it quickly gained traction. The brand launched with a British Pink Clay mask, but it was their viral lash oil — backed by glowing reviews — that truly skyrocketed PERL into success.

In this episode, we dive into Isobel’s inspiring journey of building PERL from the ground up, and what she’s learned about product development, clean beauty, and entrepreneurship along the way.

Whether you're curious about clean beauty or dreaming of launching your own brand, this episode is full of insights, inspiration, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to be a founder.


The topics we discuss are:

  • Why did you start your own skincare brand
  • What was missing in products on the market that made you want to create it yourself?
  • How did you formulate the products?
  • What is clean beauty?
  • Lash serums - what don’t we know about some lash serums on the market today?
  • Lip oils - it is important to know what’s inside

  • Your own wellness journey
  • Your morning routine

E.158 "90% of your health comes from the food we eat" with Niall Kiddle

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined once again by returning guest Niall Kiddle, as we dive deeper into his mission to reconnect consumers with farmers and bring us back to a simpler, more intentional way of eating.

Niall is a champion of quality—whether it’s high-welfare meat, nutrient-rich organs, or seasonal vegetables—and he’s pushing back against a system that prioritizes quantity over quality. With 90% of our health rooted in what we eat daily, Niall is developing an innovative app that makes buying directly from farmers as seamless as booking an Uber or Airbnb.

But Niall’s vision goes beyond food. In this episode, we explore what it means to live more intentionally—touching on reducing screen time, the importance of real human connection, grounding in nature, building daily routines, and aligning our diets with the rhythm of the seasons.

If you're passionate about health, sustainability, and simplifying life, this episode is for you.


The topics we discuss are:

  • why we should be eating organs and colostrum
  • why you started organised 
  • Connecting consumers to farmers through the app
  • The power of connecting with nature
  • Why does the food system need changing

E.156 We are ALL currently living on Autopilot with Jamie Clements

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jamie Clements, founder of The Breath Space, to explore one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—tools we all have at our disposal: the breath.

In a world that moves at lightning speed, where burnout and chronic stress have become the norm, breathwork offers a much-needed anchor. Jamie shares how reconnecting with your breath can help regulate your nervous system, support emotional resilience, and bring you back into your body—out of autopilot and into the present.

We dive into the different forms breathwork can take—from dedicated breathwork sessions to simply taking a mindful breath while waiting for your morning coffee. This isn’t about adding another complicated wellness ritual to your life; it’s about remembering to breathe, with awareness and intention.

Whether you're new to breathwork or already exploring it, this conversation is a reminder of how something so simple can be deeply transformational.



The topics we discuss are:

  •  I want to start with your most recent Substack article where you wrote a letter to your 23 year old self
  • What did breath work save you from 
  • The growth of the wellness industry but also the growth in mental health struggles and anxiety
  • We are increasingly disconnected from our own body - why 
  • What is the one breath work practice a listener can do right now to connect themselves
  • Breathwork has a bad rep for being something that people do when they have experienced trauma, stress or are highly anxious - but actually it can be something for everyone to do everyday as we are all victims of constant micro-stressors 
  • How can people integrate breath work in a busy lifestyle
  • Two types of breath work - up regulatory and down regulatory - explain 
  • The benefits of mouth taping
  • What’s in your bag

E.154 Why We Should All Be Mouth Taping and The Story Behind Healthy Habits

This week we have a solo episode where I share my journey behind launching my new brand Healthy Habits and why the brand means so much to me. Healthy Habits is more than just a wellness brand — it's a lifestyle movement rooted in simplicity, intention, and impact. I wanted to bring you the tools, techniques, and daily rituals that make feeling good feel easy and that has started with mouth tape.


In this episode, I take you back to where it all began — when I was 11 years old, writing a food blog also called Healthy Habits. What started as a childhood passion has now come full circle, evolving into a brand that brings together the tools, techniques, and rituals I genuinely love and use daily. My hope is that they help you build your own Healthy Habits, effortlessly.


I then discuss the power of mouth tape and how it has completely changed my sleep, as well as answering some common and most frequently asked questions about mouth taping.

E.151 Wellness is Overwhelming with Kat Pither

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by the wonderful Kat Pither — founder of Yogi Bare and a true force in the wellness industry for over a decade.

In this conversation, we explore both Kat’s lived experience navigating mental health challenges and how they shaped her approach to life and business. We also take a candid look at the wellness industry today — how something intended to heal and connect us has often become a commodified, unattainable ideal, far removed from its true purpose.

We dive into the following topics:

  • 17-year-old Kat and her battle with addiction
  • Kat's journey to Yoga and Wellness
  • Kat's journey to founding YogiBare
  • Alcohol and going sober

In this raw, honest, and empowering chat, Olivia shares how being told she might never have children led her to completely rethink how she approached her body, her health, and her hormones. She opens up about how working with her cycle — instead of against it — became the game-changer in her pregnancy journey.


One area that Olivia and I deep dive into is seed cycling and how it's a natural way of regulating your hormones due to the nutrients and lignans in these seeds helping regulate estrogen and progesterone levels. Below we have explained how you can seed cycle:


Follicular Phase (Day 1–14)

(From the first day of your period to ovulation)

Seeds to eat:

  • 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds
  • 1 tablespoon of ground pumpkin seeds


These seeds are rich in lignans and omega-3s, which can help support estrogen production and metabolism. They also contain zinc, which is great for egg quality and overall reproductive health.


Luteal Phase (Day 15–28)

(From ovulation to the start of your next period)

Seeds to eat:

  • 1 tablespoon of ground sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon of ground sesame seeds

Why:

These seeds help support healthy progesterone levels. Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E and selenium, which support progesterone production, while sesame seeds contain lignans that can help modulate estrogen levels if they get too high in this phase.


The other topics we dive into are:

  • Olivia's journey and experience with endometriosis, PCOS and adenomyosis
  • The power of cycle syncing and how you used it to change your fertility trajectory
  • The effects of hormonal contraception, particularly the pill, on your cycle and fertility — and Olivia’s honest, thoughtful views on it after years of navigating it herself
  • Societies impossible expectations of women vs the reality 
  • Why understanding and connecting with your cycle is so empowering, whether you’re trying to conceive or simply want to feel better, more balanced, and in tune with your body
  • Wellness non-negotiable that have helped you deal with endometriosis and PCOS


This episode is a beautiful reminder of how powerful our cycles are, and how making small, intentional shifts to support your hormones can change everything.

Whether you're currently dealing with hormonal issues, curious about natural contraception options, or wanting to learn how to better support your body through every phase — this one’s for you.

E.147 Born Deaf and Wanting To Fit In with Georgia Meacham

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Georgia Meacham who was born deaf and wears two hearing aids. Ten years ago this wouldn't have been the first sentence used to describe Georgia, instead it would have been the fact that she is also a model and an actor, whilst also advocating for the Vegan diet and lifestyle. However, Georgia used to hide the fact that she was deaf due to the fact that she thought she would fit in, have a better chance of being chosen for modelling and acting jobs and have a better chance in relationships if she hid her hearings aids. This resulted in constant stress and anxiety and put her at a disadvantage where she wasn't getting the help she needed.


Everything changed when she decided to embrace her deafness, own her story, and advocate for others in similar situations. In this episode, we dive into the powerful shift from resisting a label to reclaiming it as a strength. Georgia opens up about how, for most of her life, she didn’t want to be defined by her deafness—she just wanted to be “normal.” But now, she sees it as a source of empowerment, shaping her journey in ways she never imagined.

This is such an inspiring episode that I think your going to love!


The topics we discuss are:

  • You were born deaf - what did that mean for you growing up?
  • Some of the challenges at school and making friends 
  • Speech - how has this been affected - what did you do growing up to help this 
  • Opening up about your disability - what did that look like before you opened up and what does it look like now?
  • The concept of being defined by a situation and letting a situation define you
  • The daily struggles of being deaf and what that looks like
  • Speaking in parliament
  • Navigating loud social situations
  • Discrimination - have you ever felt discriminated against?
  • Relationships
  • Your vegan - have you always been vegan?
  • What does wellness mean to you?
