  Having a Bad Body Image Day? Try These 5 Things 03.09.2026 19min

  Someone asked me recently what I do on a bad body image day, and it made me realise… I don't really have them anymore. My bad body image days have turned into bad body image moments - and I move through them quickly. That got me thinking about what has changed, so I wanted to share the tools with you - because I know for a lot of you, the bad days still outnumber the good ones. In this episode I'll share: Why I don't feel weird admitting I've mostly moved past bad body image days (and why tha...

  Is it Ever Okay to Comment on Somebody’s Body? (Even Ariana Grande’s) 06.08.2026 20min

  Is it ever actually okay to comment on someone's body? Even a celebrity's? I'm using the internet's current obsession with Ariana Grande to unpack something way bigger than one pop star. Because ‘concern’ isn't always what it looks like, and even the ‘nice’ comments can do real damage. In this episode I'll share: Why the line between body-shaming and concern isn't where most of us think it isThe stories of body compliments that fed something much darkerWhat to actually do when you’re concerne...

  Unhinged Things I’ve Done to Build My Body Confidence 23.07.2026 38min

  I’ve done some ‘normal’ things to build my body confidence, and I’ve done some pretty unhinged things. Because when I'm scared of something, my brain doesn't ease me in gently - it goes straight for the most ridiculous version of facing it. So in this episode I'm handing over the receipts. Not the standard body image advice you've heard a hundred times - the actual unhinged stuff I've done that's genuinely made a big difference! In this episode I'll share: The full list of ‘unhing...

  There's a space between ‘totally fine’ and ‘diagnosably unwell’, and it's where many women are spending their days, convinced they don't have a real problem because they just need to try harder. The grey area of disordered eating and body image struggles, where you don’t feel ‘bad enough’ to seek help, needs to be spoken about more. So today we’re diving in… In this episode, I’ll share: The statistic that brought this topic back to the surface for me, and why the help-seeking gap matter...

  The Little Girl Who Learned to Hate Her Body (And What She Needs From You Now) 11.06.2026 21min

  What if the way you feel about your body has nothing to do with your body - and everything to do with what you learned before you were old enough to question it? Most of us can't pinpoint one moment we started hating our bodies, but understanding where it came from is one of the most powerful things you can do - for yourself, and for the little ones watching you. In this episode, I'll share: Why body image issues start earlier than you think (we're talking as young as age 3) and how they get ...

  “But I Have to Lose Weight for my Health”: Here’s Why This is Setting You Up For Failure 30.04.2026 24min

  Is losing weight actually the key to your health… or is that belief sabotaging you? This is one of the most common things I hear: “I get it, body acceptance is great… but I still need to lose weight for my health.” And honestly? It makes sense, because we’ve been taught our entire lives that smaller equals healthier. But in this episode, I’m pulling that belief apart - not just to show you why it’s not as true as you think, but why holding onto it might actually be keeping you stuck. In this ...

  Ever felt like you should be able to push through… but your body just isn’t playing along?

  The Real Reason SkinnyTok is Mocking Fat Women (It’s Not What You Think) 05.03.2026 18min

  SkinnyTok is everywhere online right now - mocking fat bodies, calling it ‘health’, and acting like being thin makes someone superior. But this isn’t actually about fat bodies at all. It’s about something else entirely, and today I’m breaking down what’s really happening psychologically underneath the surface. In this episode, I share: Why SkinnyTok content feels so triggering (and why that reaction is completely normal)The real reason body shaming hits so deepWhat projection actually is (and...

  Imagine if you were tasked with writing a bible on women’s health, so you wrote 10,000 words on the nutrition guidelines that everyone knows about and ✨tries✨ to follow… but then you realised you were missing a HUGE piece of information and not taking into account the experiences of all bodies. Would you scrap half of it and start again? That’s exactly what Meghan Rabbitt did in the writing of her new book: “The New Rules of Women’s Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age”. And I’m so blo...

  Secret Binges, Diet Culture, and Raising Kids Who Love Their Bodies with Stephanie Notley 22.01.2026 30min

  I’m a huge believer in healing our relationships with our bodies and with food for ourselves, but there’s another reason that sits close to my heart: doing it for the next generation. There have been huge strides made towards the dismantling of diet culture in my lifetime, yet there’s so much more to be done. If you’re a parent, you can start doing that by raising your kids in a non-diet household and by teaching them body acceptance. That’s exactly what today’s guest - Stephanie Notley - is ...

  Find Your Healthy Through Balanced and Realistic Eating with Leah Itsines 08.01.2026 41min

  If I had to choose two words to describe the way that I eat now that I’ve found food freedom, they would probably be ‘balanced’ and ‘realistic’. That’s why I love Leah Itsines so much - because those are the foundations of the BARE principles. Leah is the founder of the BARE guides and Yes Please Health (and she has an app coming out soon!), and she was also my absolute DREAM podcast guest. In this episode, we cover: Why ‘balanced’ and ‘realistic’ are the main parts of her food philosop...
