There’s a incorrect observation I’m on the receiving end of not infrequently that I find particularly bemusing. It’s that old: “But you’re lucky you must not be so into food.” Or something along those lines. Some likely well intentioned yet utterly misguided judgement that gives the observer an excuse for their foodie excess’s. The person who assumes I’m “not so into ... READ MORE

Recently I heard the advice: “Have passionate beliefs, loosely held.” Now a few years ago that would have sounded ridiculous to me. I was proudly dichotomous. Black or white. Love or Hate. I held passionately yet tightly to my beliefs… to a debilitating fault! Perhaps it was youthful idealism. Arrogance. Ego. Or maybe it was that I hadn’t learnt the value in being flexible. I was yet to really ... READ MORE

It’s a little embarrassing to share however I led a Vegetarian rather than purely Plant based / Vegan lifestyle for many years NOT because of laziness. Or supreme love of cheese. Or ice cream. Or even eggs. Though I did really LOVE eggs. The thing that held me back was part vanity and part ignorance. I was terrified the body I’d built for years would disappear pound by ... READ MORE

On Saturday night I caught up with a dear girlfriend. Now this is one of my friends who is hugely motivated and successful. A very driven chick. As we shared a vodka soda fresh lime or 5 (!) we discussed that fine line between appreciating the NOW and staying driven and motivated to achieve more. To have a greater impact. To play a bigger game. Yet ... READ MORE

There are a few non-sexy, non-negotiables the super-vast-majority of people who create and keep a fit, strong, healthy body adhere to. Meal Prep is one such example. Now take it from this little non kitchen queen. I totally understand there are limitless things more fun than kitchen time. However I’ve also admitted that a little meal prep in advance is more than worth the time and energy invested. In ...

Today’s show is devoted to my fellow emotional eaters! To YOU, if you get huge, decidedly disproportionate and indisputably irrational pleasure from food.  Like the weekend I spent in Melbourne recently which saw me pounding the pavement early Saturday morning in search of not that stunningly unique boutique or funky new plant based cafe but rather the gorgeous cape-seed rolls from Bakers Delight that I’m in the ...

Have you heard of the term: Looking For The Catch? It’s a strategy I’ve also covered in show #315 that you can do either to your benefit or to your detriment. In today’s show on: Looking For The Catch Revisited I’m going to make this strategy applicable to achieving your best, strong, healthy body. However that body looks, feels and functions for YOU. First up, a better definition. Think ... READ MORE

As I plan this show I’ve just raided the fridge in a post lunch attempted demolish session. It wasn’t especially detrimental and as such is a timely reminder of how grateful I am to no longer live at the mercy of my food cravings. Today I want to share why: Eating Right Was So Hard Until It Wasn’t! Before we get rolling ... READ MORE

Todays show is a fresh look at one of my favourite subjects. It’s a chance to turn a self perpetuating cycle that may be working against you on it’s head. To close: The Belief Gap. The Belief Gap, is that often unknown yet decidedly debilitating gap between what you say you want and your belief in your ability to have it. I’m sure ... READ MORE

Todays show was inspired by a guide I’ve just created, The: 7 Day Plant Strong Jumpstart To Create A Body And Life You Love. It’s all about making plant based eating easy, healthy, delicious and sustainable. For you and the planet. Day One is the day of preparation. It’s where we lay the groundwork for your future success. It’s also that step that might have been oh too ... READ MORE
