Contact Annmarie

The Tech Gremlins are out in force! 

For some reason, this week's episode was cut short. So here it is again... 

In this warm and witty episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Annmarie Miles reflects on the comforting magic of well-worn slippers and how her podcast has become just that: familiar, squishy, a little bit cheeky, and always there when you need it.

Listeners will hear stories about easing back into rhythm after a break, the importance of safe spaces, and a gentle nudge about not getting too cosy. There’s laughter and plenty of wisdom for anyone navigating the messy middle of life.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why a pair of slippers can say more about belonging than you think
• Annmarie’s reflections on restarting after time away
• The tension between rest and growth
• A funny “Wobble of the Week” involving fuzzy footwear and mild public shame
• Encouragement to value the ordinary — and step out of it when needed

Key Topics:

In this heartfelt and humorous episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Annmarie Miles reflects on a particularly dramatic head cold and the unexpected life lesson it revealed. 

Following last week’s honest discussion about her struggles with weight and emotional wellbeing, Annmarie explores how physical symptoms like sneezing and fevers mirror emotional ones like sadness and frustration.

She dives into the idea that our down days, much like our runny noses, are actually warning signs; signals from our body and heart that something needs attention, rest, or change. Through personal storytelling, a bit of scripture, and a dash of Dublin wit, Annmarie shares what last week taught her about joy, self-care, and being kinder to herself (even in old leggings, covered with toast crumbs).

Perfect for anyone needing encouragement, a laugh, and a reminder that they are fearfully and wonderfully made — snot and all.

 In this honest and slightly wobbly episode, Annmarie opens up about the reality of her long term weight journey that’s hit a slump. With her usual mix of humour and heartfelt reflection, she talks about feeling stuck, summer photos that don’t help, and the Facebook memories that used to inspire — but now feel like they’re having a laugh at her expense.

Rather than disappear for “a little break” like last time (which lasted 18 months), Annmarie shares her current struggles and how she’s learning to show up anyway — even when the motivation’s gone missing.

She also reflects on a quote from Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken — a book that’s made a few appearances on the podcast — and how it landed differently this time.

It’s a warm and relatable episode for anyone who’s had a weight wobble and needed a bit of encouragement to keep going.

This week on Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Annmarie Miles is talking about something close to home—the way we speak to ourselves and about ourselves. In her usual honest, humorous style, she shares why she’s setting herself a new challenge—and inviting listeners to join her on it.

Annmarie introduces her free 5-Day Encouragement Challenge, designed to help build small, steady, and kind habits that can gently shift the way we think. No pressure, no guilt, and absolutely no green smoothies at 5am—just one encouraging email a day to remind you that you’re not failing, you’re just human.

In this episode, she opens up about:

• Why she needs this challenge just as much as anyone else
• What to expect in the daily emails (affirmation, encouragement, a tiny challenge, a Scripture, and an invite to reply)
• How speaking simple truths to ourselves—consistently—can actually make a big difference
• A spiral moment involving a toaster (you’ll want to hear this one)
• And a hilarious, heartfelt story about Wagon Wheels, childhood apologies, and a very confused neighbour

There’s a gentle nod to Scripture each day, but it’s never heavy—just a bit of godly wisdom alongside the wobbles. Whether someone is full of faith, just hanging on, or simply looking for a bit of encouragement, this space is a welcome one.

✨ Listeners can sign up now for the 5-day challenge using the link in the show notes and start their own journey of speaking more kindly to themselves.
