The Busy Woman’s Guide is a wellness podcast for women looking for a healthy lifestyle that fits THEIR rhythm, not a cookie cutter version of all the “shoulds” and to-do lists out there. Hosted by Alix Hubble, women’s therapeutic, fitness and life coach, I take you deeper into a wellbeing for YOU. Because you already know what it takes to build healthy habits, and you’ve got enough productivity tips, workout motivation hacks, and tips for how to be consistent, how to stop procrastinating and how to achieve work life balance to last a lifetime. So let’s explore what really sits beneath your burnout, your lack of consistency, your self sabotage, or your need to always “be on it.” This is your permission slip to stop performing, start listening to yourself, and create a rhythm that actually fits your life. If you’re asking questions like these….this is the place to be: - How to stop overthinking? - How can I be productive without burning out? - How can I stop tying my self worth and self esteem to being busy? - How can I stop self-sabotaging my progress? - How do I feel more comfortable in my own skin again?

    249 How to stop dieting without losing control - how to make food freedom your new reality

    Grab your space inside the Food Freedom Intensive - my brand new 1:1 coaching container. Just 5 spaces available this month. Find out more here While the idea of no more diets and finally ditching the all or nothing mentality around food can feel exciting in theory - in practice it can feel like there’s nothing but chaos on the other side. So in this episode I’m breaking down what food freedom actually looks like day to day. Not a “perfectly balanced” diet, not losing control, not giving up on yourself but finding genuine neutrality around food and a path to more mindful eating. Where you finally get to listen (and respond) to what your body actually needs. This is the practical companion to last week’s episode (see details below) where I share the exact steps I’d take if I was starting this journey today. Including: Why nervous system work is the foundation that makes this shift possible.How to create space between the emotional eating urge and the reactionHow to start moving away from the diet mindset without having to throw out the whole rulebook overnight NEXT: Listen to Episode 248 - What 18 years of dieting taught me about my body (and how I finally found food freedom)Follow me on instagramShare this with a friend who needs to hear it

    248 What 18 years of dieting taught me about my body (and how I finally found food freedom)

    Secure one of just 5 spaces this month inside my brand new 1:1 space - The Food Freedom Intensive - find out more here You’ve spent years tracking, restricting and dieting - only to find yourself exhausted, still not feeling good enough and right back at square one. Well…same! At least until I decided to tackle my diet mindset, get honest about my all or nothing mentality, lean into body acceptance and finally find food freedom. In this episode I’m sharing my own 18-year journey through diet culture - from the Bridget Jones moment that made me question everything, to the moment in lockdown when I finally realised “I can’t do this any more”. This isn’t a quick fix or 3-step formula. It’s an honest look at why so many of us stay stuck in the binge restrict cycle, why dumping the diet mindset isn’t about food at all and how to stop dieting without the drama (and rediscover your confidence and self esteem). We’ll talk about: How your relationship with food is a direct mirror or your relationship with yourselfWhy food freedom isn’t the same as chaos and how to make healthier, more intuitive choices without the guilt, obsession or all or nothing mindsetBreaking the diet cycle one step at a time NEXT: Follow me on instagramShare this with someone else who needs to hear it!

    247 The binge restrict trap: how to break free with Priya Tew (dietitian and disordered eating specialist)

    In this week's episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Priya Tew — dietitian, eating disorder specialist, and someone who truly gets it because she's lived it. We're diving into the binge restrict cycle: that exhausting pattern of being "on it" one week and completely "off it" the next. If you're on a journey of binge eating recovery, or you're just starting to ask how to heal your relationship with food, this conversation is for you. Priya brings her clinical expertise and her own personal journey together to help us understand why this cycle keeps repeating — and it's not about willpower or discipline. It's about biology, the nervous system, and decades of diet culture we've absorbed without even realising it. We talk about the fear that keeps so many women stuck when it comes to emotional eating — and why that fear is actually making things worse. And Priya shares her approach to nervous system regulation, body neutrality, and the small but powerful daily practices that can start to break this cycle for good. Whether food freedom feels miles away right now, or you're simply tired of the guilt and the all-or-nothing thinking, this episode will meet you where you are. Key Takeaways The binge restrict cycle isn't a willpower problem — it's a biological and neurological response driven by restriction, stress, and a nervous system stuck in threat mode.Body neutrality is a realistic middle ground — you don't have to love your body, but self acceptance (rather than constant war) is where real change begins.Nervous system regulation is non-negotiable — whether it's meditation, a walk in the woods, or tending to houseplants, calming your threat brain is a foundational part of binge eating recovery.Regular eating, including "fun foods" every day — reduces the binge eating urge because restriction is what fuels the all-or-nothing thinking in the first place. This is intuitive eating in practice: learning to trust your body again and finding your own version of food freedom.If you've been wondering how to stop emotional eating, the answer starts not with more discipline, but with understanding what your nervous system is actually asking for.

    246 Shifting from All Or Nothing Control to Self Leadership (and how to actually listen to yourself)

    Let’s be honest, we all live in a world where worth is measured through the lens of “masculine energy”. In other words, we’ve elevated things like self control and all or nothing thinking as the key to keeping us on track and successful. But what if that approach is simply leaving you more disconnected from yourself, your body and the very consistency that you’re craving? In this episode we’ll explore how we can step away from the all or nothing control that’s making you feel “off your game” and instead how we can step into the under appreciated, but super powerful feminine energy. And then use that to create deeper self belief and self leadership that comes from learning to respond rather than constantly manage yourself. This is about creating a calmer, more grounded way to move through life — one where you can actually hear your own needs and trust them. Takeaways Why self control and all or nothing thinking don’t always create the consistency you wantHow masculine and feminine energy shape the way you relate to food, fitness, work and wellbeingA more powerful way to listen to yourself and build deeper self belief through self-leadership NEXT: Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear itFollow me over on instagramFollow the show so you don’t miss another episode

    245 Why successful women self sabotage when things start going well (and how to stop it derailing you)

    Join me for The Consistency Codes - a 30 minute masterclass for women who know WHAT they “should” be doing, but still can’t seem to make it stick. Monday 13th April - 7.30pm - 100% FREE SECURE YOUR SPACE HERE The reasons why successful women self sabotage are very rarely random. And if you’ve ever found yourself doing brilliantly for a few weeks and then suddenly slipping back into old habits, I want you to know this: it’s not because you’re lazy or incapable of change. More often, it’s a protective response rooted in identity, familiarity and what your nervous system thinks is safe. In this episode, I unpack why self sabotage can show up just when things start going well, how fear of failure, fear of success and all or nothing thinking keep pulling you off course, and why learning how to be more consistent has far less to do with willpower than you think. If you’ve been wondering how to stop self sabotage and create real, lasting consistency, this will help you see the pattern differently. Takeaways What causes self sabotage and why it often has more to do with your nervous system, identity and safety than lack of motivationHow fear of failure, fear of success and all or nothing thinking can quietly derail behaviour changeA gentler, smarter approach to how to be more consistent and build the kind of success habits that actually last NEXT: Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear itFollow me over on instagramFollow the show so you don’t miss another episode

Monday 13th April - 7.30pm - 100% FREE - Sign Up Here Self sabotage, emotional eating, perfectionism and procrastination aren’t random habits or proof that you lack willpower. In this episode, I’m unpacking the deeper pattern that can sit underneath them all: good girl conditioning. The pressure to be easy, capable, in control and endlessly accommodating might look impressive from the outside, but it can also be a key factor in disconnecingt you from your own needs. Leaving you stuck in exhausting stop-start cycles with food, fitness and your body. I talk about why this has nothing to do with a lack of discipline, why chasing consistency through pressure often leads straight to burnout, and why learning how to be consistent starts with self-trust, not stricter rules. Takeaways Why self sabotage, emotional eating and stop-start patterns with food can be rooted in good girl conditioning rather than a lack of disciplineHow perfectionism and procrastination keep you stuck in the cycle of being “on it” or “off it” instead of building real consistencyA more honest way to think about how to be consistent without driving yourself into burnout NEXT: Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear itFollow me over on instagramFollow the show so you don’t miss another episode

    242 How to stop yo-yo dieting for good and find food freedom (the 3 key lessons from Done with Diets)

    More and more I’m seeing women wanting to stop yo-yo dieting for good, and leave the binge restrict cycle and the associated emotional and stress eating behind. But at the same time, they may still have weight loss goals, and want to ensure they’re still focusing on their health. So a few weeks ago I ran a brand new mini group coaching experience called Done with Diets - and noticed a few recurring patterns that I’m sharing here with you today. Because the women I worked with had lots of knowledge and they didn’t lack discipline. The problem was that all of that wasn’t translating into action. So in this episode we’re exploring 3 of the key hidden patterns that were dictating their relationship with food, leading to stress and emotional eating and keeping the food freedom they wanted at arms length. And help you to start building a calmer, more balanced and intuitive relationship with food and your body.
