  • Ep 11. Stepping out of your comfort zone with Mik Cose

    In this chat I catch up with a beautiful friend of mine. Mik went through an unbelievable weight loss journey which stemmed from her feeling out of control of her life. Even though she achieved amazing results her health journey also had consequences and she started becoming obsessed with 'dieting' which impacted her anxiety. She started focusing on a new way to be healthy, live her best life but still achieve her health goals and is the happiest she has ever been. We discuss how important it is to step out of your comfort zone, even when you feel like you can't. She talks about her time in a toxic relationship and the effect that had on her own mental health and how she got through that. She is truly amazing and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. 

    You can find Mik on IG: @fit_mikaa
    She posts lots of inspiring content and she is always very raw and transparent on there.

    *Trigger warning - Self harm is discussed in this episode, please if you think this could effect you negatively, it may be best to listen another time*

    In this episode, I have a wonderful chat with the beautiful Oli Toia. Oli and I chat about her mental health journey which started from a pretty young age. She tells me about her time in the performance industry and how that effected her journey.

  • Ep 7. My personal journey with self confidence and feeling worthy

    Today is bit of a different one. Coming off the back of my discussion with Izzy and a wonderful photoshoot I joined her with, I decided to discuss my own journey with self confidence. I talk through where I first noticed negative thoughts about myself when I was around the age of 10 and how it continued to effect me throughout my life.

    I also talk about ways I am managing it now and what has helped me truly appreciate my mind and body for who she is. I'm now determined to treat her the way she deserves to be treated and to truly accept myself as worthy.
