Beyond Diets

Pelvic pain, diastasis, leaking when you sneeze, feeling disconnected from your body - so many mums are navigating these things in silence, not knowing support even exists.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by women’s health physiotherapist Chloe Stevens, who brings 15+ years of expertise to what really happens to our bodies after birth.

We talk about:

• The truth about postpartum recovery (no, it’s not just “do your Kegels”)

• Why symptoms like pain, incontinence or prolapse are common - but not normal

• How a Mummy MOT works, and why more mums should know about it

• What can help if you feel disconnected from your body after birth or C-section

• How to advocate for your needs, even if your GP doesn’t fully understand postpartum care

Whether you’re newly postpartum or your babies are grown, this episode is a must-listen reminder: you don’t have to just “put up with it.” You’re not broken, and you deserve individualised support.

Tune in - and please pass this one on to a mum who needs it.

You’re juggling a lot - and still, that voice creeps in:

“If I were doing it properly, it wouldn’t feel this hard.”

In this episode, we explore one of the most deeply held beliefs among high-functioning mums:

“If I’m not doing everything perfectly, I’m failing - as a mum, as a leader, as a woman.”
 
But what if the opposite is true?

We’ll unpack why perfectionism isn’t a personality trait - it’s a nervous system response.

Why consistency doesn’t come from pressure - it comes from capacity.

And why the most powerful shift you can make isn’t doing more - but giving yourself permission to do things differently.

You’ll hear real-life examples, compassionate reframes, and one simple invitation that could change everything.

Because maybe the goal isn’t to stay “on top of it all.”

Maybe it’s to feel like you again.

“If I just ate better… toned up… lost the weight… then I’d finally feel calm.”

Sound familiar?

In this episode, we unpack the pressure so many high-achieving women carry - the belief that fixing your body will fix your life. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still don’t feel grounded, this conversation will land deeply.

You’ll hear:

• Why your body has been wrongly blamed for stress, shame, and overwhelm
• A personal or client story that reveals the hidden cost of chasing ‘better’
• The truth about what actually creates lasting peace, confidence, and presence
• 3 powerful shifts you can try this week to meet yourself with more compassion and calm

It’s not your body that’s broken - it’s the pressure that’s been placed on it.

Ever found yourself playing with your kids but thinking about emails - then sat at your laptop thinking about the kids - and feeling like you’re failing at both?

That knot-in-your-stomach guilt that you’re never giving enough anywhere and you’re stretched so thin it hurts?

You’re not broken - and you’re certainly not alone.

This is one of the biggest struggles I hear from high-achieving women and mums inside the BBB community.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down exactly why this guilt shows up, what’s really hiding underneath it, and how you can start to shift it - gently and realistically.

We’ll talk about:

• Why guilt loves to creep in (spoiler: it’s not because you’re failing, it’s because you care)
• The myth of being “fully present” everywhere, all the time — and how to drop that impossible standard
• A real story from my own life (and my BBB-ers) about juggling motherhood, work, and still finding a moment to breathe
• Three practical tools you can try this week to soothe the guilt and feel more “enough” right now

Plus, I’ll leave you with a gentle reminder you can come back to on the days you feel pulled in every direction: you don’t need to be perfect - you just need to be human.

And you are.

If this episode lands for you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it too.

In this heartfelt episode, Claire opens up about the complex emotions she’s facing as a mother supporting her son through grief after the loss of a classmate.

Balancing her son’s needs with her own challenges, Claire draws from her professional background in trauma counseling to provide insight and comfort.

We also explore her personal journey managing ADHD, navigating faith, and overcoming the physical and emotional hurdles of weight loss—including surgery to address loose skin.

Claire shares her compassionate, individualised approach to health and well-being for her family, focusing on intuitive eating and tailored strategies to support her children’s unique needs.

Join us for an honest conversation about resilience, healing, and finding balance in the midst of life’s toughest moments.

Ever find yourself feeding the kids, remembering a work task, mentally adding to the house to-do list and realising—again—you forgot to feed the dog? You're not alone.

In this episode, I dive into the mental load so many high-achieving women carry—juggling work, parenting, and everything else—and why it's not just about time management, but energy, values, and boundaries.

I also chat with one of the incredible BBB Ladies about what happens when you finally get clear on what matters to you and how that clarity helps you reclaim time for you, even if you don’t know what to do with it at first.

We’ll cover:

• Why perfectionism, people-pleasing & pressure make it all harder
• How to fall in love with the boring stuff (yes, really)
• Simple mindset shifts to lighten the load this week

Plus, practical tools like the Stop, Start, Continue method and the Mental Clarity Vault to help you create breathing room—without needing to do more.

Anna, a nutritionist and PhD candidate, discussed her work with individuals struggling with disordered eating, emphasising a psychological approach that combines mindfulness and nutrition.

The conversation explored the impact of diet culture on emotional eating, the challenges mothers face with body image, and the complexities of weight loss drugs and quick fixes.

We both emphasised the importance of developing a sustainable relationship with food, managing overwhelm, and taking time to process thoughts and feelings to address underlying issues rather than relying on temporary solutions.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with former client Nia, two years after completing the BBB Method, to explore the real-life ripple effects of healing your relationship with food, body, and self-worth.

Nia shares how she went from calorie counting and self-sabotage to intuitive eating and strength training – not to shrink herself, but to feel good, strong, and confident. She opens up about motherhood, burnout, and the messy middle of finding balance between a high-stress job and self-compassion.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered:

• What happens after you stop obsessing over food?
• Can you really rewire years of negative body image?
• How do you role-model a healthy mindset for your kids, without shame or restriction?

Nia's story is raw, inspiring, and a reminder that sustainable change is possible – and worth it.
