For a long time, I avoided the word balance. It felt too fluffy, like something that throws around too much without anyone really defining what it means.

But over time, I've realised that balance is exactly what most women are craving. A lot of us have been taught that "healthy" means eating a perfect "clean" diet and leads to the vicious cycle of all or nothing thinking around food.

In this episode, I share my philosophy around what balance really looks like in practice. Your diet doesn't need to be rigid to be effective, and flexibility is the thing that makes healthy eating sustainable.

I've got a new free checklist that you'll love if you've ever felt caught between wanting to take care of yourself and wanting to actually enjoy your life. It lays out all the non-negotiables so that you know you're ticking all the "healthy eating" boxes, and then you don't need to feel guilty for any extras that add to your enjoyment of food (e.g. the chocolate I'm eating right now while I write this!).
