With 2025 just around the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to sit down and reflect on the habits and rituals I've embraced this year so that I can share the ones that are here to stay for 2025.

It's Saint Belfords 7th birthday! To celebrate, we're answering your questions in this bonus Q&A episode. Enjoy!

When life gets busy, it's easy to neglect your wellbeing. It's easy to push your needs aside in favour of conquering your to-do list.

We're so worried about disappointing others that we often convince ourselves there's no time for self-care. We convince ourselves that rest is not an option, our needs can wait, and everything on our to-do list is urgent and must get done today. Sound familiar?

I have fallen into this trap many times before too, so you're not alone. What helps me most when I find myself leaning into that narrative is reminding myself that I'm a better mum, partner, daughter, friend when I'm actively filling up my cup. Everyone benefits when I prioritise my wellbeing.

I'm here to remind your needs matter, and they deserve to take a front seat. You deserve the same love and care that you so freely give to others.

I know what you're going to say - but there's no time…

Except that there is. There IS time to recharge, even on the busiest days.

It's just about discovering simple self-care habits that fit seamlessly into your life.

So let's replace the deadly "I don't have time" excuse with 12 simple ways to fill up your cup.

From the occasional walk to a non-negotiable daily walking routine—let me walk you through how I did it. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, boost your mood, or just add a little more movement into your day, this episode is packed with actionable tips and personal insights that can help you build this transformative habit.

Hi everyone and welcome to episode 50 of the Saint Belford podcast. I just want to start off by saying thank you to each and every one of you for tuning in.

It's kind of bittersweet because while I've reached a personal milestone - 50 episodes of The Saint Belford podcast - I'll be pressing pause on the podcast while I'm on maternity leave.

This will be the last episode of the season until we kick off season 4 next year around February when I return back to work.

To wrap up season 3 of The Saint Belford podcast, I'm going to share five snippets from the most popular episodes of the season.
