What does it really mean to feel at home in your body, your work and your life?

In this episode of the Eat Nourish Love podcast, Caroline Cary is joined by Alison Cork, entrepreneur, author, broadcaster and a long-standing voice in lifestyle, home and wellbeing. Alison is known for her television work, national newspaper columns and six bestselling lifestyle and cookery books, and for spending over 25 years inspiring people to create homes that feel beautiful, nurturing and achievable, whatever their budget.

As the founder of Home In The Country, Alison has been a pioneer of accessible interiors, healthy living and nature-led inspiration. In her fifties, she experienced a profound shift in her relationship with food, exercise and wellbeing, transforming her health and gaining a renewed sense of energy and clarity for what she calls her second act. That journey led to her book Fit & Fabulous Over Fifty, where she shares practical tools for rewiring midlife with health, joy and purpose.

In this conversation, Alison reflects on homemaking as a feeling rather than a look, the realities of reinvention, and the habits that supported sustainable weight loss and strength in midlife. She talks openly about protein, strength training, ultra-processed foods, and why quick fixes cannot replace long-term care for the body. Alison also shares insight into her latest work, including the early stages of a new food project rooted in simplicity, nourishment and pleasure.

Alongside her commercial career, Alison is also the founder of two not-for-profit organisations that support women to start and scale their own businesses, Make It Your Business and National Women’s Enterprise Week.

This episode is a grounded and honest conversation about health as a foundation, food as connection, and the possibility of starting again at any stage of life.

What happens when creativity, craft and a deep sense of service all come together in one life?

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary sits down with renowned shirtmaker Emma Willis MBE DL – founder of the iconic Jermyn Street shirt shop, champion of British manufacturing, and creator of the charity Style for Soldiers, which supports injured servicemen and women as they rebuild their lives.

Emma shares how she went from feeling “out of her depth” at art school to selling shirts door to door in the City, building a world-class British brand, and creating meaningful employment for young makers in Gloucester. She talks about why making things with our hands is so powerful for mental health, what she’s learned from working closely with veterans living with life-changing injuries, and how community and creativity can help reroute the brain after trauma.

Caroline and Emma explore:

• How Emma accidentally fell into shirtmaking – and why being a woman in a “man’s world” became an advantage
• Building her Jermyn Street shop and British factory while raising a young family
• The story behind Style for Soldiers and what she learned inside Headley Court military hospital
• Why sewing, pottery and other crafts can help with PTSD, brain injury and loneliness
• Reviving British manufacturing and creating real jobs for young people
• Her new Mayfair space and using it as a home for makers, talks and veteran gatherings
• The importance of family, long-standing friendships and simply working hard at something you care about

Emma also leaves listeners with three simple anchors to return to when life feels uncertain: family, friends and meaningful work.

In this episode of the Eat Nourish Love Podcast, Caroline is joined by Katherine Hale – Motherhood & Matrescence Coach, ex–Big Four Transformation Director, former Army Officer and mum of three.

Katherine spent years breaking barriers in traditionally male spaces: commissioning into the Royal Signals, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan, completing an MBA, and building a six-figure career in a global consultancy. Her identity was tightly bound to achievement, ambition and being able to “do it all”.

Then came motherhood – three children under four – and everything shifted.

Katherine shares how she tried to return to work “as if nothing had changed”, pushed for promotion, juggled leadership, commuting and small children… and quietly began to burn out. She describes the moment, on holiday with two babies in a pushchair, when she realised she was grieving her pre-children life and had completely lost her connection to herself.

That’s when she discovered matrescence – the transition from woman to mother – and everything finally made sense.

In this honest and practical conversation, Caroline and Katherine explore:

• ​What matrescence really is, and why almost no one is talking about it
• ​How motherhood can shake your identity, values and career ambitions
• ​The conflict between being “the perfect mum” and a high-achieving professional
• ​Why motherhood is “what feminism forgot”
• ​The pressure on women to carry on as if nothing has changed after children
• ​Burnout, the mental load and why so many working mums feel like they’re failing everywhere
• ​How values, boundaries and emotional resilience can help you feel more in control
• ​The power of community, group coaching and being in a room with women who “get it”
• ​Katherine’s decision to leave a six-figure role she loved to become one of the UK’s only certified Matrescence Coaches

Katherine is now on a mission to get the word matrescence talked about everywhere – from boardrooms to play parks, from offices to kitchen tables. Through her Thrive in Motherhood coaching, she helps ambitious mums reconnect with themselves, reprioritise their wellbeing and achieve career success without burning out.

If you’ve ever thought “I should be coping better than this” or wondered why you feel so different since becoming a mum, this episode will give you language, context and comfort.
