  • Episode 288: Why Diet Culture Is Still Controlling You (Even When You Think You’ve Moved On)

    Are you struggling to get fit and healthy?

    If you’ve got one foot in diet culture and the other half of you is telling yourself you don’t agree with it, you’ll keep going around in circles — because both of your feet are pointed in opposite directions. You need to make a choice. 

    Do you agree with diet culture — weighing yourself, tracking your food? Or do you disagree with it and stand against it? 

    This podcast episode will help you decide, and maybe help you finally become free from diet culture once and for all — so you can move forward and become fit, healthy, and strong.

    5. Episode 286: Resilience at the Edge with Extreme Cold Water Swimmer Nuala Moore

      Nuala Moore is an Irish open water swimmer and adventurer who has pushed human limits in some of the most extreme conditions on earth. With two Guinness World Records and decades of experience in the ocean, she’s learned what fear, discomfort, and resilience really mean.

      In this episode, Nuala shares:

      • What happens in the exact moment you face fear, and how to know if it’s protecting you or holding you back

      • Why avoiding discomfort costs you more than facing it

      • The lessons silence and solitude can teach when you’re stripped of all distraction

      • The difference between just enduring and being truly resilient

      • What the ocean has shown her about real limits — and the ones we create ourselves
      • A powerful conversation about resilience, choice, and the strength you only find at the edge.

      • Episode 285: Who Am I Without Wine? Rebuilding Your Evenings Without a Glass in Hand

        I wasn’t out of control. I just knew something had to change.

        Wine had become the thing I turned to — for stress, overwhelm, holidays, Friday nights, everything.


        But at a certain point, I started to wonder… What is this actually costing me?

        In this episode, I share:

        • The moment I said “I’m done” — and what scared me most about giving it up

        • The identity wobble that no one prepares you for

        • What life actually looks like when your evenings no longer revolve around wine
        • If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Who even am I without it?” — this one’s for you.

          • Episode 283: Busy Is Not the Problem — Let’s Talk Choices

            In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest patterns that keeps women stuck: saying “life got in the way.”

            But you know what? — life is always busy. There’s always something pulling at your attention. But skipping your workouts, dropping your routine, or abandoning your healthy habits is still a choice — and one that leaves you feeling worse.

            This isn’t about blame. It’s about taking back your power.

            You’ll learn:

            • Why “life got in the way” is often a sign of deeper habits
              • How to stay consistent even when things feel chaotic
                • What to do when you're tempted to give up
                • This episode is your reminder that you can be fit and healthy even in a full, busy life — and that showing up because of the chaos (not in spite of it) is what changes everything.

                • Episode 282: 10 Brutal Reasons I Couldn’t Lose Weight

                  Have you ever wondered why, no matter how hard you try, the weight just won’t shift? 

                  I know that feeling all too well. For years I was stuck in the same exhausting cycle of starting over every Monday, eating well for a while, then crashing back into stress, wine and sugar.

                  It wasn’t just about food or exercise. 

                  There were hidden reasons I couldn’t lose the weight, and in this episode I’m sharing the 10 most brutal ones. These are the habits, thoughts and patterns that kept me overweight and stuck, and the shifts that finally set me free.

                  Tune in because you’ll discover three big takeaways: the surprising reasons I couldn’t lose weight no matter how hard I tried, how stress and overwhelm had far more power over my weight than I realised, and the exact shifts I made that changed everything.

                • Episode 281: Wine, Stress, Food, Busyness… Avoidance Nearly Broke Me

                  Are you pouring a glass of wine, reaching for food, or keeping yourself endlessly busy just to cope?

                  I know what that feels like, because I did it too. Wine to switch off, food for comfort, busyness to avoid slowing down. I thought I was protecting myself from stress — but in reality, I was avoiding the deeper pain underneath. And it nearly broke me.

                  Here are 3 reasons to tune in:

                  • Discover the hidden ways avoidance might be showing up in your own life (without you even realising).

                  • Learn the real cost of numbing with wine, food, or busyness — and why it keeps you stuck.

                  • Hear what happened when I stopped running from stress and started facing it — and how you can do the same.

                  • Avoidance feels easier in the short term, but it always comes at a high price. This episode will help you see what it might be costing you — and what’s possible when you choose a different way.

                  • Episode 280: Are You Choosing Inner Excellence—or Settling for Mediocrity?

                    Most people want change… but when the discomfort comes, they quit.

                    You can either choose the temporary discomfort of building new habits — or live with the long-term discomfort of an unfulfilled, unhealthy, stuck life.

                    In this episode, I’m asking you straight: are you choosing inner excellence, or are you settling for mediocrity?

                    We’ll talk about:

                    • Why discomfort is the price of growth

                    • The difference between the short-term pain of new habits and the lifelong pain of staying stuck

                    • How to shift your mindset so you lean into the right kind of discomfort

                    • If you’re serious about building consistency, fitness, and peace of mind — this episode will be the wake-up call you need.
