    Ep. 29 - How to make time for self care

    What's the first thing that goes out the window when you're super busy with work, family, pets, social occasions? That's right... it's your self-care. It seems that, as employees or entrepreneurs, we are hard wired to burn ourselves out instead of placing our own wellbeing first. In this episode, I discuss why it's important to knock this behaviour on the head and how to go about it.

    Ep. 28 - What stress does to your body and mind

    Have you ever thought... "I am doing everything right and yet I am not losing weight"? You might be absolutely correct and are indeed doing all the right things, even the right things for you! But have you taken stress into consideration? In this episode I discuss why stress could well be what's preventing you from achieving the results that you want from your fatloss journey.

    I mention a video that illustrates what stress does to your brain, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HZXiUouqII - it's about Krav Maga and if you have zero interest in this self defense system, skip to 13 min 18 seconds for the "important part".

    Ep 26 - The Lost Art of Napping and Why We Should ALL Start Practice It Now!

    Ep 26 - The Lost Art of Napping and Why We Should ALL Start Practice It Now!

    When it comes to self care and looking after our physical and mental health, napping is a bit of a lost art. We spend so much time chasing our dreams that we often forget to rest. Maybe we feel guilty about slowing down, but really we must remember that work and rest go hand in hand, not against each other.

    In the episode I mention the Fitness Planner that I created back in 2018. I recently revamped it and it's back up for sale on Lulu.com at this link: https://bit.ly/2UgH32o

    Ep 25 - Are your workouts making you fat?

    If I had a £ for every person who said to me that they are "doing all the right things but the weight isn't shifting" I would be insanely rich. In this episode I discuss why people, especially women, find themselves in this situation and what they can do about it.
