Grace is a registered dietitian whose personal struggles with relative energy deficit in sport (REDS) have led her to helping women fuel their training adequately and support their hormonal health.

Lauren is the owner of Happy Fit Mums, a fitness platform where she helps new mothers to get their training in and build up their strength.

Lauren has an amazing story of how she took the leap from a 15 year career in publishing, to set up her own fitness business, just after having her second child.

I was massively inspired by Lauren and I can't wait to share this with you. If you're hesitant about taking risks, or you're a new mum looking for some support with how to look after yourself and get your training in post partum, this podcast is for you!

The moral of todays podcast? Everyone lives in their own heads... no one cares what you are doing... so do what YOU want to do!

Ever feel like you're only training a certain amount because of what you think you should be doing? Do you feel external pressure to look, feel, act, or exercise a certain way?

Myself and Karima chat today about how we can let go of that pressure to just focus on the things that make us feel our best.

Do you feel like you're in a constant narrative of trying to 'get back' to a body shape/weight or type that you've had before?

In this episode, myself and the lovely Wioletta (@_fitnesswithvee_) talk about how our bodies are constantly changing, and about how to reframe the narrative so that we can learn to take the conversation away from our bodies and onto the other things in life!

Please rate the podcast if you enjoyed, and let us know what you think!

Your relationship with food is something that a lot of us have to RELEARN after years of subscribing to diet culture and restriction.

If we've lost some of the ability to be able to eat and enjoy all foods, it does take some work to get that relationship with food back to a solid place!

In this podcast I go through some specific action points in order to help you work on that relationship with food, such as tackling fear foods, the way you talk about food, going out for meals - even if you just try one of these, that's a step in the right direction!
