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?

    259 Why Mindful & Intuitive Eating Didn't Work For You

    Ready to join me inside Ditch the Diets? Find out more and claim your space here. If you want to know what happens inside, you can also listen to THIS bonus episode. In today's episode: You've already tried stopping diets, eating more mindfully, or intuitive eating. But when it tipped you into just feeling completely out of control you decided it didn't work and you're "just one of those people" who needs a plan. But I believe everyone can eat more mindfully (and cut out the food noise at the same time). There's just one step that's missing to help you finally nail it. Today we'll talk about: The real difference between intuitive and mindful eating, and why our expectations make us feel like we're failing at it.Why "one slice of cake and then stop" isn't mindful eating. It's another diet rule in a nicer outfit.How years of dieting have trained you to override your body's signals, so "just listen to your body" feels like being handed instructions in a language you don't speakThe missing foundation: rebuilding trust and communication with your body before you try to eat mindfullyAn introduction to the React to Respond method: going from "oh shit, I need to fix this" to noticing what's actually going on, with curiosity instead of judgement Ditch the Diets doors close Friday 2nd October. If you're done dieting but don't trust yourself without it yet, this is where we build that trust together, with individual coaching on your own patterns.

    258 Ready to ditch the diet rollercoaster? First step - DON'T STOP DIETING

    You've decided you're done. Done with the tracking, the rules, the constant second-guessing around food. So the obvious next move is to just... stop, right? Not so fast. In this episode I'm breaking down why "just stop dieting" is some of the worst advice you can give someone who's spent years - maybe decades - relying on diets to keep them on the straight and narrow. I share what happened when I gave up dieting for good six years ago (it wasn't pretty), why the fear of letting go isn't irrational, and why your body might genuinely be unable to "just listen to it's hunger" right now. Plus: the one thing I coach every client to build before they ditch a single rule, and why that's exactly what we're doing inside Ditch the Diets, starting 6th October.

    257 3 ways to make working out easier this Autumn

    September hits and suddenly you're "recommitting" — new plan, four workouts a week, 100g of protein, daily meditation, all of it, all at once. By November you're the person who's cold, tired, buried in Christmas admin, and quietly furious at the version of you who made these plans in the first place. This week I'm breaking down why autumn fitness resets fail on a schedule (roughly: about the time it gets dark at 4pm) and three shifts that actually make it stick past half term. In this episode: Why outcome goals ("lose a stone by Christmas") set you up to feel like a failure the second life gets in the way — and what to measure insteadPlan from your lowest energy self, not your optimistic September self — why one honest workout a week beats four ambitious ones that don't survive OctoberPick one lever, not five — why stacking every habit at once overwhelms your nervous system into doing nothing at allA real example from my 1:1 PT clients getting stronger on one session a week, consistently, for months My free Consistency Codes workshop digs into this properly — helps you spot your own self-sabotage/protection style so you can build consistency that actually survives autumn.

    256 Self Sabotage - why it happens and how to stop!

    You've had a good week. Sleep's sorted, workouts are happening, dinner's planned. Then Thursday rolls round and you blow the whole thing up for no reason you can actually point to. This week I'm unpacking why self-sabotage doesn't show up when things are falling apart but actually when they're finally going right. Turns out your brain isn't broken... In this episode: Why "unfamiliar" gets read by your brain as "unsafe" — even when unfamiliar is calm, in control, and exactly what you say you wantWhy this hits harder if you're high-functioning and used to holding it all togetherThe 3-step process I use with clients to break the pattern: notice the reaction, reconnect with the emotion underneath, become the observerThe one question to ask yourself next time you feel the sabotage coming: what am I actually trying to protect myself from right now? A few spaces are open this autumn for The Body You'll Love Living In — 1:1 coaching if you're ready to actually rewire this pattern rather than just understand it. Grab the details here.

    254 The Real Reason Intuitive Eating and Mindfulness Aren't Fixing Your Relationship With Food

    If you've tried intuitive eating, nervous system work, or mindful eating to fix your relationship with food and found it just didn't stick — this episode is for you. This week we're getting into why these approaches, as brilliant as they are, so often fall flat for women who've spent years in diet culture, dealing with emotional eating, and cycling through the stop dieting / start again loop. In this episode: Why intuitive eating feels chaotic rather than liberating for most women The real reason nervous system work and mindfulness don't always translate into day-to-day change around foodWhy regulation tools work on the symptom but often miss what's underneath itThe difference between React mode and Respond mode - and why that distinction changes everythingHow to start building body trust and making more mindful eating choices without throwing away the rules overnight Intuitive eating and nervous system work aren't wrong - they’re just missing a foundation. React to Respond builds that foundation first, so that food freedom becomes something you move towards gradually and safely, rather than something you fall into and hope for the best. Join me for Ditch the Diets — the 3-day Telegram coaching experience where I’ll walk you through the full React to Respond method, with personalised daily coaching to help you move out of the on/off diet cycle and into a calmer, more consistent relationship with food.

    253 The secret belief keeping you in the diet mindset (even when you know it's not working)

    If you're ready to stop dieting but keep getting pulled back in, this episode is for you. Whether you've been asking yourself how to stop emotional eating, whether food freedom and weight loss can coexist, or why your diet isn't working despite your best efforts - the answer might not be what you think. And in this episode, I’m unpacking the one belief quietly keeping you trapped in the diet cycle, and why trying harder is actually the last thing that's going to help. IN THIS EPISODE You know dieting isn't working. And yet here you are again, making the same promise to yourself. "I'll feel good when I've lost the weight." "I'll relax once I've got back on track." "Just this one last reset, and then I can breathe." That quiet little promise is not just keeping you in the diet cycle - it’s the exact reason you can never find peace with food. We’ll cover: - Why the "I'll feel good when…" belief is the engine behind the diet loop, and why it's so hard to let go of - What actually happens when you stop tying your confidence to the number on the scale - How to eat more mindfully and make healthier choices - not by adding more rules, but by changing where your decisions come from The React to Respond method, and how it creates the space between a thought and a spiralWhy food freedom doesn't mean giving up on your goals JOIN DITCH THE DIETS My 3-day Telegram coaching experience. Just £33, with 12 spaces available.
