I'm back! This ass is once again on furlough as the gyms close across the UK.

I want to use this time to bring back the podcast and as I promised in this episode I will try damn hard to keep this going even when the gyms reopen and I return to my crazy ass days at work.

This week I want to talk about the journey of goal setting. A quote I recently came across inspired this podcast as it really hit home. Our goal setting isn't about taking a long and patient time or sprinting our way through, it's about being content with the series of peaks and valleys that we will face along the way.

I hope you enjoy this episode and if any of the information here resonates with you then please do leave me a review and say hey. Obviously 5 stars goes a long way and really helps a gal out!

This time of year we tend to see an increase in individuals looking to lose fat and shape up for the summer months.

In this episode I dive into fat loss, what this means and how to achieve it safely and effectively.

I discuss the increasing demand for Juice Dieting around this time of year and why I do not support them and why this type of 'quick fix' dieting can have multiple negative effects and be damaging for your health.

You will learn how safely and effectively achieve fat loss without restrictions and worrying over numbers on the weighing scales.

My message today is that if you really care about your body and health then fat loss is something that should be seen as a positive lifestyle adaption and not some quick fix. These types of restrictive diets do not last, can destroy healthy relationships with food, promote ill health and can set you on a path to yoyo dieting.

Learn how to do it the right way by tuning in!

In light of Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, I have dedicated a few of my podcast episodes to discuss topics around mental health.

In this episode I am joined by my fiancé , Dan Stoner, who has kindly volunteered to speak of his personal experience of Bipolar Disorder.

Dan is diagnosed with Bipolar Type 2 Rapid Cycling. In this episode he gives listeners an idea of what it can be like living with the symptoms that he experiences on a day to day basis.

We aim to define and explain Bipolar as best we can, however experiences can vary from person to person and not all those who have been diagnosed with Bipolar will experience similar to what is discussed here.

We hope this provides some insight into life with Bipolar for both the diagnosed individual and their loved ones.

Please be aware that this is an extremely raw interview and may cause distress or upset. Should you wish to seek advice or further information about Bipolar, I have listed a few useful resources below:

Thank you for listening and please help us to raise awareness around Mental Health by sharing and talking.

In light of Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, I have dedicated a few of my podcast episodes to discuss topics around mental health.

Today I am joined by Sarah Dosanjh, a psychotherapist who goes by the name of 'The Binge Eating Therapist', and Author of the book 'I Can't Stop Eating.' Sarah specialises in eating disorders and not only has she trained professionally in this area but she has also experienced her own battles with Bulimia and Binge Eating. 

In this episode we discuss how Bulimia differentiates from other types of eating disorders, signs to notice when a binge is more than overindulging, the triggers that could cause a binge and useful steps towards recovery. We also discuss and compare our experiences of Bulimia and our personal journeys from diagnosis to recovery.

Please note that this is a sensitive subject and we do go into detail throughout.  If you have or suspect you may have an eating disorder, please consult your health care provider.

This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, therefore I am dedicating a few of my episodes to discuss topics around mental health.

Today I am joined by Izzy, a Clinical Team Leader at a psychiatric intensive care unit. Everyday Izzy and her team support individuals suffering with schizophrenia and so she has a good understanding of the illness and some of the struggles a person may face on a daily basis.

This podcast is aimed at raising awareness around mental health disorders and encouraging people to look after their own mental health, be open, talk and not suffer in silence. The importance of this is very much highlighted in this episode.

The biggest take away for me during this interview is that ANYONE can develop schizophrenia and it can potentially be avoided with the right systems in place and developing a work/life balance to prevent high levels of stress. It is also key to note that we must BE KIND to all. The level of disruption that such an illness can cause is life changing and not for the best.

Please take the time to listen and let's do our part in sharing and raising awareness of mental health.

A massive thank you once again to Izzy and all who work within mental health. Your support saves lives!

Mental Health Awareness Week 2020 is upon us, therefore I have dedicated a number of episodes to discuss topics around mental health.

Today I am joined by my good friend Mark, a well experienced and extremely down to earth Yoga Teacher based in Bangkok, Thailand.

Mark really is the 'Been there, done that' kinda guy and comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience of the Yoga practise.  

In this episode we discuss how Yoga can have a positive effect on our mental state, awareness and promote the mind/body connection.

We also note how Yoga can compliment a strength training programme  (Body Builders listen up!) and improve your form and technique.

Whether you are new to Yoga, have dabbled in your local gym class or want to know more about the benefits of Yoga on mental health then I highly recommend giving this one a listen. 

If you have enjoyed this show, please support me by sharing and subscribing to the podcast. Your support really does mean a lot to me and my coaching service.

I am SO excited for you to be introduced to Mark's energy, passion and lovable personality. You can reach out to him via the links below:
