If I had to choose two words to describe the way that I eat now that I’ve found food freedom, they would probably be ‘balanced’ and ‘realistic’. That’s why I love Leah Itsines so much - because those are the foundations of the BARE principles.

Leah is the founder of the BARE guides and Yes Please Health (and she has an app coming out soon!), and she was also my absolute DREAM podcast guest.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why ‘balanced’ and ‘realistic’ are the main parts of her food philosophy
• The process of creating meal plans that aren’t rooted in diet culture
• Whether chocolate and lollies can be included in a healthy diet
• Her top tips for someone who wants to improve their health
• The experience of rebuilding her confidence after becoming a mum
• Dealing with trolls and criticism online

PS. This episode is a replay as a part of my BEST OF series, whilst I'm working on some big projects over Summer!

If you’ve ever been told to meditate for stress reduction and thought “I’m too stressed to sit still - how am I supposed to meditate?!” - this episode is for you.

Diet culture is rife at any time of year, but it particularly kicks up over December in Australia. Combine festive parties, lots of food, drinks galore AND bikini season, and you’ve got a recipe for stress for those who are struggling with food and their body.

I asked you what your biggest struggles are during the festive season, and in this episode I’ll give you tips on how to overcome those struggles - including some epic comebacks for people who make unhelpful comments about food or your body around Christmas time.

Has the way your body looks ever held you back from doing something you wanted to?

Mine has, and I know that I’m not the only one. So many women struggle with their body image, and it spills into other areas of their lives - meaning that they can’t show up to work, relationships, social occasions etc. as they’d like to. Sara Chambers understands this, and that’s why she’s written her book ‘Do It Fat’.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why we should ‘do it fat’
• Trading your focus from ‘weight loss’ to ‘self worth’ (even in a world that tells us small bodies are the key to confidence)
• The ever-changing nature of body trends
• Why so many women fear being seen
• How do you find the confidence to do it fat?

Follow Sara on Instagram or visit her website to buy the book.

I’m back from break! Welcome to Season 3.

Last month, I flew to Melbourne to speak on stage at the Life After I Left event, hosted by Cat Dunn. I shared my story about life after I left diet culture, and in this episode I wanted to share that talk with you too.

(Prefer to watch it? You can check out the video here)

I’m also sharing some updates about how the podcast will look over the next couple of months as I listen to my body and make some small changes.

Welcome back!

I hate to break it to you, but most of the solutions you’ve been given for ‘fixing’ your body image and confidence are actually f*cking you over…

Many women tell me that they’ve tried ‘everything’ in order to improve their body image, but it turns out that they’ve just been trying the wrong things (and often, the things that will cause more harm than good in the long run).

In this episode, I’ll share:

• 6 ‘fixes’ that end up backfiring and making your body image worse
• Why these approaches don’t actually work
• The real shifts that will actually improve your body image
• What you can try TODAY for better body image and confidence

Have you ever felt like you’ve done all of the things - therapy, mindset work, affirmations - but you’re still struggling, and it makes you believe that you’re broken?

That’s exactly what Amanda has experienced, yet she’s managed to come out the other side into an embodied, confident woman - and I’m constantly inspired by her!

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why you still feel like broken, even when you’re living the textbook ‘perfect’ life
• Shifting from needing to be fixed to embracing your full humanity
• How shadow work and emotional embodiment can be the catalyst for healing
• Why growth doesn’t mean being happy all of the time
• The importance of vulnerability and sharing your struggles
