This episode talks burnout - parental, self, physical! It was inspired by @Mother_Pukka and something she posted this week saying “I can’t be your rock if I’m broken” - such a powerful statement that really hit home. Thank you www.instagram.com/mother_pukka and www.instagram.com/Fionaisard for introducing Anna’s page. As always I’d love to hear from you should you want to discuss anything you’ve heard further - reach me at www.instagram.com/Adele.johnston or [email protected] . Have a marvellous day Ax

This episode dives quite deeply into a number of topics underpinning why ‘we’ (the royal we guys) grow to live the way we’ve been shown. Food Insecurity and poverty playing their role in childhood obesity (critical levels in 2019). I also pull some deep burrowed research from my uni years around understanding our basic needs and how ‘conditioning’ plays a role in how we react to food! Go in with an open mind and leave with motivation to make a change for your child’s future. Adele www.instagram.com/adele.johnston

In today’s episode I talk about Extreme Dieting and the impacts it can have on your children, spouse and household.

Episode 2: Do you acknowledge when you’re full up at meal times? Are you able to stop eating when you reach that level of ‘comfort’ to avoid the feeling of overeating? This episode shares with you, on the back of multiple Instagram requests, some tips and take aways on how to lead a more mindfully food aware lifestyle! I hope you learn and take just one piece of knowledge away today. Happy listening. AJ xx (link to Emilia Thompson https://instagram.com/emiliathompsonphd?igshid=tioifuhi9f6s
