Choosing to live a life of body acceptance and food freedom can be seen as going against the grain, since society tells us to pursue thinness at all costs. Overcoming the fear of what other people think can be a huge barrier for many of us, but it can be done!

Kirsty Head knows all about choosing your own path, rather than the one society tells you to choose.

In this episode, Kirsty and I chat about:

• Undoing your childhood conditioning
• Reaching the “is this it?!” point in your life, and what to do next
• How do you stop caring so much what other people think (especially as a people-pleaser)
• Choosing your own path instead of the one society says you should have
• What to do when you don’t even know what you want from your life

I’m a Body Image and Food Freedom Coach, so my entire job is about body acceptance and confidence, self love, and knowing that your worth doesn’t depend on the way you look… but sometimes I look in the mirror and think “f*ck… I wish I didn’t look like that”.

(This is where you can faint with shock!)

I still have bad body image days. But how I respond to them now is completely different! In this episode, I’ll share the 7 things I do when I have a bad body image moment, so you can add them to your toolkit.

Imagine if you looked at photos and felt happy, rather than shying away from the camera?

For boudoir photographer Amy Donovan, the journey of self-acceptance has been both personal and professional. After struggling with body image from a young age, Amy has made it her mission to help women see their TRUE selves reflected back in her lens - not an idealised, filtered version, but the raw, authentic beauty that radiates from within. 

In this episode, Amy and I chat about:

• Why boudoir photography can empower you to see the REAL you (that everyone else sees and loves!)
• Strategies for overcoming the negative self-talk
• Why ‘supporting’ your kids by going on a diet together can cause lifelong damage
• Social media – positive or negative influence?
• The privilege of ageing
• Why she doesn’t Photoshop her own pictures or her clients’

Is anyone else feeling like they’re absolutely slogging it out to make it to the end of the year? I can relate!

Many of us feel the pressure to ‘do it all’, and when we can’t balance all of our commitments perfectly, we feel like we’re failing - especially when we reach the busy season and our plates are extra full. That’s why I’m a huge believer in learning to embrace the season that you’re in (and hopefully notice that it’s coming before you get smacked over the head with a reminder from your body!).

In this episode, I’ll share:

• The myth of balance and ‘doing it all’
• How to work with your values throughout each season
• The Mack truck moment that made me realise I need to slow down
• My top 3 ways to support yourself during a transition to a slower season
• Why emotional and nervous system regulation are key

When you spend a lifetime at war with your body, it’s easy to feel disconnected from it. This makes it harder to practice intuitive eating (how are you supposed to TRUST your body’s cues?!), harder to enjoy movement (every workout is a fight) and harder to show it love (when what you see in the mirror doesn’t feel like ‘you’).

Emma Walkinshaw is a Body Confidence Coach and accredited yoga instructor who is passionate about helping women to build a connection with their bodies, so that they can work with them, rather than against them.

In this episode, Emma and I chat about:

• How she did her yoga teacher training without ever believing she’d teach, because she didn’t have a ‘yoga body’
• The best yoga for beginners (and how to build the courage to actually go)
• Creating connection with your body
• Yoga and mindfulness for body confidence
• Working with your nervous system to create calm
• The role of morning routines in building self-awareness and a solid relationship with yourself

Let’s get honest about what it means to embrace your whole self (without the toxic positivity and ‘love and light’ energy 24/7), and get comfy with the duality of life. 

I met Lisa last month at The Mind School, and I knew I’d met someone who can sit in the contradictions of being a human too. Our conversation is here to empower you to show up authentically, with all of your flaws and imperfections, and to find freedom in embracing the full spectrum of the human experience.

In this episode, Lisa and I chat about:

• Why she loves personal development
• The magic of in-person connection and sharing your vulnerabilities
• Seeing the parts of ourselves that we appreciate in others
• The importance of feeling all of your emotions (even the icky feeling ones)
• How the weight-loss rollercoaster damages your feelings of safety in your body
• Noticing the positive things about yourself
• Releasing the comparison trap of a past version of yourself

Have you ever felt like body acceptance isn’t for you, because of your body’s shape, size or weight? I’m here to tell you that is straight up FALSE.

Recently, I went to a screening of Your Fat Friend: The Film (by Jeanie Finlay and Aubrey Gordon), and it cemented my belief that body acceptance and fat liberation are so tied up in one another.

In this episode, I’ll chat about:

• Why it’s problematic that the body acceptance space is dominated by people in smaller bodies
• Those ‘embrace your flaws!’ Instagram posts where an influencer bends over to show two tummy rolls
• The body acceptance pipeline
• How fat liberation should be embraced by thin people
• Why you shouldn’t let society’s shit hold you back from embracing self-love
• The impact of body shame

Have you ever noticed that body image and self-love are generally seen as a ‘women’s issue’? In actual fact, 45% of men in Australia dislike their bodies.

We need to start the conversation about how we can support the men in our lives to love themselves more, have more freedom in how they express themselves and to join the body acceptance movement, and I could think of no better person to speak on the topic than Jake Kneesh. 

In this episode, Jake and I chat about:

• His journey from PT and wannabe fitness influencer to self-love and body acceptance advocate
• Challenging toxic and ‘traditional’ masculinity and how men online have responded
• Why we need more men in the body positivity and acceptance space
• Having body image conversations with men (and why pissing them off is okay!)
• Exploring fashion outside the gender norms
• His advice for men who want to embrace themselves and live life on their own terms

Follow Jake on Instagram or TikTok, and share this episode with the men in your life!
