    How to Make Meals Easier (and take up less headspace)

    In this episode, I talk about how to make meals easier - not more impressive, not more exciting - just easier to manage in real life as a mum. I explore why meals often start to feel effortful and mentally draining after kids, and how reducing decision-making and relying on familiar, repeatable meals can make consistency feel more achievable. This episode looks at practical ways to simplify meals, reduce food taking up so much headspace, and make it easier to return to supportive eating patterns when life gets busy or unpredictable. If meals feel like another thing you need to “do better”, this episode offers permission to make them simpler - without giving up on your health or goals.

    How to Return Without Starting Over

    In this episode, I talk about what to do when things go off track - without resetting, restricting, or waiting for the “right” moment to start again. I explore why restarting often creates pressure and keeps mums stuck in cycles of stopping and starting, and why returning calmly to what works is a far more effective approach. This episode introduces the idea of having something familiar to return to - whether that’s regular meals, repeatable foods, or a normal rhythm - so that consistency doesn’t rely on perfection or motivation being high. If you’ve ever felt like one off day or one messy week undoes all your progress, this episode offers a gentler, more realistic way forward.

    Why consistency feels so hard as a Mum (and what actually helps)

    In this episode, I explore why consistency often feels like the hardest part of looking after your health as a mum. I talk about why many mums feel stuck in a cycle of starting, stopping, and feeling like they can’t stick to anything - even when they care deeply about their health and know what they “should” be doing. This episode looks at how perfectionism, decision fatigue, and food taking up too much mental space can quietly undermine consistency - and why approaches that don’t flex with real life are often the problem. I also introduce a gentler way to think about progress: consistency isn’t about staying perfectly on track, but about how easily and calmly you return to what works when things inevitably go off piste. If you’ve ever felt like consistency is your biggest struggle, this episode is here to help reframe the problem - and make it feel more manageable. Rachel x

    Why Does Dieting Feel Harder After Having Children?

    In this episode of Nourish & Mum, I explore why dieting so often feels harder after having children - even for mums who care about their health and genuinely want to feel better. I talk about the emotional pull between wanting more energy and confidence now, while also prioritising the needs of young children during such an intense season of life. This episode covers some of the reasons dieting can feel more difficult after kids, including hormonal changes, time poverty, sleep deprivation, decision fatigue, and the reality of how meals actually look day to day. I also talk about why struggling to start, stick to a plan, or stop thinking about food doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong - and why fat loss can still be a valid goal, even if the approach needs to change. If dieting has felt heavier, more frustrating, or harder to sustain since becoming a mum, this episode is here to help things make a bit more sense.

    Welcome to Nourish and Mum

    In this first episode of Nourish & Mum, I share why this podcast exists - and who it’s really for. Many mums care deeply about their health, but feel caught in a constant tension: wanting to look after themselves, while also wanting to give everything to their children during these early years. Add to that the way many of us were taught to approach nutrition and fat loss - through restriction, cutting out foods, and all-or-nothing thinking - and it’s no surprise that things start to feel harder, not easier, after kids. This episode explores why that cycle exists, why it’s not a personal failure, and why a more supportive, habit-focused approach can make a real difference to energy, mood, and long-term health. Nourish & Mum is about finding a way forward that fits real life as a mum - without extremes, guilt, or pressure to be perfect.
