On the couch today, we welcome Emma from Brisbane. She is 33 years old, a mother of three, a wife and doing a degree of psychological science currently in third year.

She went from a happy child to a self-hating teen/young adult to a self-loving adult. She’s struggled with eating disorders as a teen, drug addiction as a young adult to now where her mental health is more important than the size of her clothes.

Now instead of focusing on physical appearances, she focuses on how wonderful life can be. She doesn’t always get it right and sometimes old habits are hard to break, they creep in her head and whisper "you are not good enough because you don't look like her". When that does happen she takes the time to adjust her thinking and focus on the important things and think about all the things she is grateful for.

P.S I used to be known as Katie Nicole..... on the couch , now I'm Luna....and I'm on the lounge! :)

Our guest today on Luna’s Lounge is an ambitious 22 year old who is committed to creating a happy, healthy and love filled life.

She was always judged on her appearance and body by her Lebanese family so it was no surprise that she started dieting at the age of 10. That eventually lead to an eating disorder at the age of 14 and for the next 3 years she lived through bulimia.

She had strong thoughts of self hate and not being good enough before she hit breaking point. From there she then I decided that something needed to be done. She delved into personal development and eventually became a personal trainer to educate herself on health and what it meant to truly love and respect our bodies.

She now runs Bliss Fitness, helping women who want to improve their health and physique but are over failed diets and workout programs.

Joining us on the couch today is Emma Polette, she is spent most of her life believing that being skinny = happiness, love, success.  When she was a teen and in her 20s, she was very thin. People often told me her she looked anorexic. Then once she hit her late 20s her body started to change.

After a series of surgeries, a stressful job and too long hating herself, she then decided to leave the job and move back to Albany to be close to family. From there she became a personal trainer, yoga teacher & health coach. She decided to stop trying to change her body and to love and accept it exactly as it is, it's been through enough.

She now helps women love their bodies and treat them with the respect and nourishment that they deserve.
