In this sort episode I try to challenge you to think about what it being sold to you online to fix your problems versus what you know fundamentally works but feels like harder work!

The internet knows what you weaknesses are and it knows the money to be made in exploiting this and targeting you.

Whereas I know the basics will serve you much better and I'm here to remind you of that.

Mind Your Mind. Mind Your Energy.

How many times have you thought:

"What is wrong with me?"

"Why can't I just get my act together?"

You're doing life. You're showing up.

But you feel off. Tired. Foggy. Not quite yourself.

In this episode, l'm joined by Gillian from Reignite, where we bring together two powerful perspectives:

Mindset, patterns, identity

Nutrition, energy, hormones and habits

Because the truth is it's not just your mindset... and it's not just your hormones either.

It's the interaction between your mind and your energy.

Together, we explore:

• Why you feel "off" even when life looks fine
• Why you feel in control one minute and completely off the next
• What's really behind the "I know what to do but I don't do it" cycle
• Why trying to be "good" often makes things worse
• How women slowly stop being a priority in their own lives

This is a real, honest conversation that connects what's happening in your head with what's happening in your body.

If you've been blaming yourself... this episode will change that

In this episode I explore what happens when people start to see the cracks in the all or nothing approach - but in trying to stay out of it, fall into the trap of feeling like they are just doing nothing!

I explain why as a coach I can get on board with this and why I think you are probably doing better than you are giving yourself credit for.

In this episode I discuss the rise in women getting into recreational fitness but training at an intensity where their nutrition requirements are no longer being met - more from lack of realisation than intention.

This is leading to a set of symptoms being mistaken for perimenopause and left unresolved, could potentially lead to more harm than good in future years.

This is a topic that will be covered in far more depth at our Fitness Unprofessionals event on March 7th in Manchester. Details and tickets can be found here:

In this episode I explore why I found everyone's 2025 highlight reel a little triggering this year. But what I realised in trying to fathom it gave me a great reframe that I think would be useful to anyone feeling the same.

Happy New Year Folks!

In this short episode I explore how seeing a plethora of '2025 wrapped' posts can be a bit triggering if you year wasn't so good.

Mine was a pretty rubbish year, but listen to find out how I reframed with and how health seeking goals have helped me find perspective.

I never thought setting up a run club for people who hate running would have such a profound effect on my emotions!

As a coach, its made me learn more in 4 weeks than I have in 4 years previous.

Today I share some of the stories and the realiastions I've made about the stigma of the fitness industry, how it intimidates a lot of people and that creates paralysis to start moving in an shape or form.

If we can all work in getting people to overcome this, you start to see the effect of one person empowering another and so on. This has been the most fulfilling gift I will get this Christmas.

In this episode I explain a framework I've used for many years with clients. The concept of intentionally doing a tiny segment of your usual version of health seeking behaviours throughout December so that by January 'the fear' hasn't kicked in and you have to use the toxic January hype to get back into it.

This is one to listen to if every January if your 'kickstart' yet there you are again a year later in the same position or worst still, even further back that the year before!

This episode summarises the talk delivered at this weekend's mac nutrition live conference by Dr Nicola Guess on Personalised nutrition.

I discuss what it actually is and share the research on its efficacy.

If you've done Zoe or you've considered this, or another company's personal nutrition, this episode is worth listening to.

In this episode I explain why I coach the way I do and how it its the furthest thing away from what people expect from a nutritionist.

This is worth a listen if you have tried every diet under the sun but are still no nearer your goals, or you spend your life thinking if you could just get better discipline you would crack it. You won't!

If you want to understand the methods we know work and start being kinder and more understanding of yourself, this could be the episode for you, or I could be the coach for you!
