Katherine and I have always had one thing in common - food.

We would always meet at amazing London restaurants studying the menu with great passion.

What we didn't know though, is that we both hid something big...also related to food.

Here is a talk of two women who overcame bulimia and anorexia and whose hope it is that sharing more stories like this will help other women come out, heal from shame and thrive.

Please note: any negative comments will be deleted and reported. I am strict about this as sharing stories like this is incredibly hard and they serve only one purpose: encouragement for others who experience shame about their body and trauma.

Do you eat for comfort? Do you have a history of dieting? Do you wish you could control yourself around food? I wrote Stuffed just for you. There is no calorie-counting, no smoothie recipes or airyfairy rituals. Whether you are a seasoned dieter, an overeater, a worrier, or just 'good' on weekdays, you can overcome emotional eating for good. Listen to my latest talk with my fellow coach & close friend Fadela Hilali.

In this podcast I am talking to my friend and fellow Croatian, Tomislav Perko; a traveller, a best-selling author, public speaker with his famous TEDx talk that got him over 1m views in a very short time. How? He travelled the world on a shoestring budget and inspires people on what he's learnt. In our podcast we discuss how to make a decision like this, how to overcome fear with reason, what you learn about yourself when you travel and what benefits does one get when one is just authentic and enjoys what they do without a hidden agenda. We touch upon Buddhism and Law of Attraction which doesn't apply to Tomislav, yet he is a living proof that it just works.

His 2nd book can be crowd-funded on this link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/1000-days-of-summer-book-travel/x/4970575#/

And his website is tomislavperko.com where you can find a way to connect with him on FB as well.

I spoke with the wonderful Isiah McKimmie, a couple counsellor, tantra teacher & sexologist on what Tantra really is. Tantra is not a woo woo thing, it is not Kama Sutra but it is a very practical way to connect with your partner first outside the bedroom, then inside of it.

Lisa Anselmo wrapped her entire life around her mother, a strong woman who was a defining force in Lisa’s life - maybe too defining. When her mother dies from breast cancer, Lisa realises she hasn’t built a life of her own and struggles to find her purpose. Who is she without her mother - and her mother’s expectations?

Desperate for answers, she turns to her favourite city, Paris, and impulsively buys a small apartment, refusing to play it safe of the first time. What starts out as an ac of survival sets Lisa on a course that reshapes her life in ways she never could have imagined. Suddenly, she’s living like a local in a city she thought she knew, but her high school French, while fine for buying bread at the corner boulangerie, goes only so dar when Paris gives her a strong dose or real life. From dating to homeownership in a foreign country, Lisa quickly learns it’s not all picnics on the Seine, and starts to doubt herself - and her love of the city. But she came to Paris to be happy and she can’t give up now. Isn’t happiness worth fighting for?

In the vein of “Eat, Pray Love” and “Wild”, “My (Part-Time) Paris Life” is a story for anyone who’s ever felt lost or hopeless but still dreams of something more. This candid memoir explores one woman’s search for peace and meaning, and how the ups and downs of expat life in Paris taught her to let go of fear, find self-worth, and create real, lasting happiness in the City of Light.

What is meditation in practical terms? How can you easily start without trying to sit still? Duda meditated in Buddhist monasteries and teaches all of her coaching clients how to meditate with an ease. Her success in helping others to pause and reflect on their lives is her biggest drive. Listen to this podcast to start meditation in your daily life. And please share with others to spread the wisdom. Namaste.
