    Jeanette Thompson-Wessen: Ditching diet culture and eating intuitively

    How much do you listen to what your body is telling you, when it comes to hunger and eating? My guest on this episode really got me thinking about how little listening I do to my body vs how much listening I do when it's other people sharing opinions. Jeanette Thompson-Wessen aka The Mindset Nutritionist is a nutritionist and intuitive eating coach and we discuss a lot, from diet culture and how we're all walking pound signs when it comes to the diet industry... to whether the ‘obesity crisis’ is an actual thing or is it just a way of stigmatising people. Jeanette is also a mum of three so we cover how to talk to our kids about intuitive eating (and the temptation to sell them off when parenting feels too hectic!) You're probably going to have a lot of thoughts on what Jeanette has to say - come over to Instagram to tell us what you think!

    Anna Mathur: Tackling 10 of the biggest fears and how it will change your life

    I'm joined on this episode by psychotherapist and author Anna Mathur. This is Anna's third time on the podcast, making her the most returning guest - and if you listen to this, you'll see why I invited her back! Her new book, The Uncomfortable Truth, looks at ten of our minds' biggest fears - from 'Some people don't like me' and 'I'm going to fail' through to 'I will lose people I love' and 'I'm going to die'. But rather than being a depressing read, it's an uplifting but practical guide to shifting the way we think about these fears. Anna joins me to talk about some of them and to share her own experiences of tackling her fears. You can follow Anna on Instagram, listen to her awesome podcast The Therapy Edit and buy her new book. This episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast is brought to you by Vue. A family trip to your local Vue cinema ticks all the boxes for beating the summer holiday lull. It doesn’t matter what the weather is doing and it won’t break the bank, with Mighty Mornings screenings of family favourites like IF and The Garfield Movie from £2.49 when booked online. My kids love the Big Shorts screenings which start at £3.99.

    Tamu Thomas: Toxic productivity and the importance of rest

    We've had a short mid-season break which I'd love to tell you was intentional but was actually due to mounting work deadlines and a lack of time. My guest on this episode would approve of a) me taking a break and b) me sharing it with you because Tamu Thomas is the author of Women Who Work Too Much - Break free from toxic productivity and find your joy. Tamu and I talk about why we often find it hard to say no to work, the allure of being busy and why rest is just as important as work. We also delve into how to role model a healthy work/rest balance for our kids to ensure they don't pick up unhelpful habits from us. This is a great episode if you feel stressed by work and find it hard to get balance in your life! Check out Tamu's book here and follow her on Instagram.

    Laura Dockrill: Postpartum psychosis and maternal mental health

    My guest today is award winning author and mum of one Laura Dockrill. Laura went viral back in 2018 when a blog post she wrote about her experiences of postpartum psychosis went viral. She went on to write memoir What Have I Done in 2020, sharing more on her experiences but she’s also the author of YA books, kids' books and her first adult fiction book I Love You, I Love You, I Love You comes out in June. Her latest project is a beautiful picture book, Grey, illustrated by Lauren Child. It's the story of a child who feels as though all their colours have disappeared. Despite the joyful orange balloon, the huge yellow sun and the bright green trees, the child still feels grey. Since it's Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, it's a good time to talk about mental health for mums but also open up the conversation with out kids about emotions and feelings. Check out Grey here and follow Laura (or not Laura, as she explains!) on Instagram. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/notanothermummy. Hosted on Acast.
