Last week, we explored my travel tales, from the flight to poolside stuff. Today, it's all about a holiday essential: FOOD!

Imagine unlimited access to a buffet, a feast you rarely encounter at home. You ask these questions: What to put on your plate? Try everything? Go back for more? Overwhelming, right?

Here's the twist: Ever returned from a trip feeling guilty about overindulging? What if I told you a guilt-free holiday is possible?

Join in, and I'll share tips on dealing with it. Not just why we eat more on holiday but how to manage it. We'll explore the beauty of all-inclusive and where intuitive eating comes into play.

What's in store for next week? I'll be chatting with Gwenne Dickson, and trust me, it's unlike any conversation we've had before. You're going to love her.

Take care, and I'll catch you next week. Bon appétit!

If you've been following my recently holiday dramas on my Instagram stories you'll know that getting home wasn't exactly easy! Want to know what was wrong with my flight? Get comfy, because it's quite the story!

It's not just a travel update though, I'm also sharing a handful of holiday tips you won't want to miss.

While next week's episode will be about the all-inclusive holiday (so be sure to listen in for that!), this week, I'm sharing how I managed seat belt extenders on my flights and my body positive experiences lounging by the poolside.

Tune in to learn how to truly enjoy every moment of your holiday without worrying about what others think or no matter what surprises come. 

Now, I've got a question for you: Have you ever faced surprises while traveling? How did you handle them? Share your stories with me by sending a voice note, and let's talk about it!

What are the different levels of fat? It can be hard to understand what someone means when they say "fat" because everyone has their version. You have probably heard terms like "straight-sized", "plus-sized," "small fat," "infinifat," and so on — or "Fategories."  

Oh, wait. "Fategories"? Is there such a thing? You might wonder, "Why do we need these terms?" 

In this episode, we will dive into that based on Linda's work from Fluffy Kitten Party. Let's talk about the diverse experiences of each level, such as weight stigma, criticisms, sizes, accessibility, and more. 

Tune in, and let's have a bit of understanding and awareness about the different levels of fat and the appropriate terms to use — words that feel right for you.

I will put the link below because there is way more in this blog post that Linda has written.

Also, we'll touch on a term you might find interesting; "Death Fat," by Leslie Kinzel in 2008, where she talks about her experience of being morbidly fat on the BMI scale. Please stick with me because there's more to that. Check out Lesley's blog post below for the full story behind this term.

As promised, here's the link to Fluffy Kitten Party's Linda's "Fategories: Understanding the Fat Spectrum": https://fluffykittenparty.com/2021/06/01/fategories-understanding-smallfat-fragility-the-fat-spectrum/

Diet talk. It's become a regular part of our conversations, hasn't it? When you find yourself in a discussion about body weight, exercise, or even your eating habits…and the list goes on. It's something most of us encounter, often without even realizing it.

This week, let's break down what diet talk exactly means and how it affects us and those we talk to. I'll share some phrases of what you can say instead and tips on responding to unsolicited comments when you're on the receiving end.

Remember, you don't have to go about it alone. Join me as I guide you on how to officially ditch that for yourself and confidently respond to such conversations. 

Also, if you've got any thoughts or stories to share on this topic, please feel free to drop me a voice memo or message - I'd love to hear from you!

Last week, I went to an all-you-can-eat buffet with friends and tried various cuisines. I bet some of you have tried that too, right? — But have you ever wondered how to tell when you've eaten enough? How much is too much? Is it wrong to keep eating even after feeling full?

These are all valid questions, and I'll help you find answers to them in this week's episode. I'll talk about how I got a real-life experience from it and how to be intuitively satisfied with being comfortably full. 

Oh, by the way, I have some fantastic guests coming up in the next few episodes on Human Design and how to use it to determine your eating habits and the experiences of an ex-Slimming World consultant. I can't wait!

Enjoy this episode, and I will speak to you again next week!

Have you ever blamed your mum for your dieting? 

Remember when you were told when to eat, not to snack, and not to waste food? And what about family, school, and media influencing your mom's thoughts on body image? Or maybe food was her way of showing love?

This week, let's talk about why your mum's impact on your diet might not be what you've thought. We'll explore how these factors shaped her views on food and why pointing fingers at her isn't the answer. Plus, I'll share some simple ways to free yourself from old beliefs that might be holding you back. Let me tell you why you should let that blame go.

Come on in, and let's rewrite the story together. Join me as we uncover the reasons behind it all and guide you to a better relationship with food and your body.

I've been watching many TV shows lately, and it got me thinking about how body sizes are portrayed in movies and their impact on us. It's a mixed bag - some films have positive representations, but unfortunately, many negative stereotypes. 

Have you seen Monica from Friends or Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect? How about Miss Piggy from The Muppets or Ray from My Mad Fat Diary? 

Let's chat about how these characters are portrayed, how media can affect how we view our bodies, and how we can shift our perspective to embrace body positivity. I'm talking about:

•  Fashion Industry
• Intuitive Eating
• Fat Characters In TV And Film
• Weight Loss
• Character
• Stereotyping  
• Weight Stigma
• Body Positivity  
• Weight Stigma  
• Body Acceptance  
• Diet Culture  
•  Beauty Standards 
• Health At Every Size

You've probably heard about intuitive eating before but might not be entirely sure what it means. I've been over the moon for two years talking about it, but I've never done an episode that explains what intuitive eating is! Have you ever wondered what it is and how it works? This week, we will break it down and discuss its principles, so you can better understand how it works. 

But that's not all! I'll be sharing with you my secret Cinemas Greece experience. It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to share it with you. 

Trust me, by the end of this episode; you'll better understand intuitive eating — how to start eating more freely and love yourself as you are.
