Our aim is to open you up to a whole new way of thinking about food, your body and your overall mindset to looking after your well-being. Alongside my own solo episodes, I’ve spoken to some of the leading experts across various different industries to help you understand yourself in a way you never have before.

    Episode 46 - The Guilt Spiral After Eating 'Too Much'

    In this episode, we begin with a gentle grounding moment, then explore a real client conversation about feeling “out of control” with food — and the quiet self-blame that so often follows. We look at the invisible rules many of us carry around food, why they feel comforting, and how they can quietly keep you stuck in guilt and pressure. You don’t need to fix anything after listening. Just notice - and if you, DM me here on Instagram If food still feels noisy in your head, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

    Episode 45 - I see you with your new diary... the first week back needs less than you think

    January often arrives with fresh notebooks, new plans, and the quiet hope that this time it’ll be different. But it can also come with a familiar heaviness - the sense that you should already be doing more, feeling better, or getting back on track… even when you’re still finding your feet. In this episode of Beyond Diets, we pause together and gently question the pressure that creeps in at the start of the year - especially around food, productivity, and expectations of yourself. We explore why that pull back into all-or-nothing thinking isn’t a personal failure, but conditioning - and why safety, not pressure, is what actually creates momentum. You’ll be invited to try a different question this week: What am I asking from myself - and does it make sense based on what I genuinely have to give? This is a calm, grounding listen for women who want sustainable change, not another plan that turns into pressure. No fixing. No forcing. Just space to reconnect, reset, and move forward in a way that feels supportive. If you’re craving a gentler start - and permission to do less without falling behind - this episode is for you.

    Episode 44 - Alex Bottomley - Making Peace With Food

    This week I’m joined by the incredible Alex Bottomley, a trauma-informed somatic practitioner who helps people break free from binge eating by rebuilding safety and trust in their body. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle with food… If you’ve tried every plan, every mindset trick, every rule… If you blame yourself for not having enough willpower… This episode will feel like a breath out. Alex shares • why binge eating isn’t a motivation problem • how disconnection from the body keeps us trapped • what somatic work actually looks like in real life • the role shame plays in our eating patterns • how to create safety so food stops feeling like the only escape We also dive into the perfectionism trap, why “doing the work” can easily become another pressure, and how to approach healing from a place that’s actually supportive rather than overwhelming. It’s an honest, grounded conversation about what it really takes to feel calm around food again - especially if you’ve spent years feeling like something must be wrong with you. If you’re ready for a kinder, more sustainable way to change your relationship with food, this is the episode to listen to

    Episode 41 - You're Not Lazy, Your Brains Just Full

    If you keep telling yourself you just need to get organised, be more disciplined, or finally get your act together - this episode’s for you. Because what if the problem isn’t motivation… it’s overload?

We’ll unpack the difference between being lazy and being overloaded, what’s actually happening when your nervous system hits protection mode, and how to help your body reset so focus feels easy again. You’ll walk away with one simple 3-minute “reset pause” you can use before doing something hard - to calm your brain, lower the pressure, and get things done without the chaos.
