    EP298 School Holidays, Snacking and How To Build A Meal

    JOIN THE COMMUNITY This week's Q&A is a good one. I've just got back from Italy, slightly worse for wear, and we're jumping straight into it. We kick off with 10 rules for living an excellent life, and I share which ones hit home for me right now. Then we get into the real stuff: member wins, struggles, and your questions. This week we cover: How to get back on track after a holiday without making it a whole thing. Staying consistent during school holidays when routine goes out the window. Snacking and hunger: when to eat, what to have, and how to tell the difference between genuine hunger and stress eating. How to make your lunches actually filling. What to do when you've got back pain and haven't trained in two weeks. How hard you should actually be pushing yourself in the gym. If life has felt a bit chaotic lately and you're trying to find your feet again, this one is for you. Want to join the community I talk about every week? Join here: liftandglow.co.uk/app

    EP295 You know what to do, so why aren't you doing it?

    Join us: www.liftandglow.co.uk This week's Q&A is a straight talking look at the habits that are keeping you stuck. We cover why your evenings are where progress falls apart and exactly what to do about it, why skipping meals is working against you even when you think it's helping, and why knowing what to do means nothing if you're not actually doing it. We also talk about the mindset shift that separates the women who get results from the ones who stay in the same cycle, why your period is not a valid reason to cancel the gym, and how to stop making nutrition more complicated than it needs to be. Real questions, real answers, straight to the point. If you've ever said "I know what I should be doing" and still not done it, this one's for you.

    EP295 Stop letting yourself down and start feeling proud

    WWW.LIFT&GLOW.CO.UK This week's Q&A covers the real stuff. The food that's just sitting there. The night out you said you'd handle. The workout you nearly skipped. We talk through why you keep raiding the cupboard when you're tired, how to actually navigate a bottomless brunch without the guilt spiral, and why motivation comes after you do the thing. Not before. Plus a member win that reminded me exactly why we're all here. And a quote on mental toughness that I think you need to hear.

    EP294 You're not struggling to get back on track, you're just avoiding what you know you need to do

    JOIN THE COMMUNITY: www.liftandglow.co.uk This week's episode is packed. We're talking consistency, self-trust, chocolate, and why getting back on track after a holiday is not actually hard — you're just avoiding it. We dig into what it really means to trust yourself around food and why eating everything to "get rid of the temptation" is keeping you stuck. If you've ever lost weight, regained it, lost it, regained it, and wondered why nothing sticks — this episode is for you. We talk about the maintenance phase that most women skip entirely, and why that's the reason you're still going around in circles four years later. We also cover snacking, training with DOMS, moving house, sugar cravings, and whether your thighs are growing because of muscle or fat (spoiler: probably not muscle). And then we go deep. One of the community asked how to feel genuinely happy and content with yourself — and I get pretty personal about my own fertility journey, what rock bottom confidence actually felt like, and the two things that pulled me out of it. Nothing about my situation changed. My mindset did.
