  1. How Lack of Routine Sabotages Your Relationship with Food (And What to Do About It)

    How Lack of Routine Sabotages Your Relationship with Food (And What to Do About It)

    In this episode of Break the Cycle: Finding Freedom from Food, we dive deep into how a lack of routine can massively impact your relationship with food, weight loss, and overall wellbeing. We unpack the real-life challenges behind “off” routines like unpredictable work shifts, childcare changes, emotional stress, and more that make healthy eating feel impossible. Discover why decision fatigue skyrockets when routine disappears, how food choices become reactive instead of intentional, and why many women feel “out of control” despite their best efforts. More importantly, gain empowering strategies to build a flexible structure that works even when life is chaotic, including the “Minimum Viable Day” mindset, light planning, anchor habits, reducing decisions, and permission to adapt. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to “get your routine back,” this episode will shift your perspective and give you practical tools to stay consistent and compassionate with yourself, no matter what life throws your way.

  3. Part 1 - GLP-1s Didn’t Break the Diet Industry… They Exposed It

    Part 1 - GLP-1s Didn’t Break the Diet Industry… They Exposed It

    GLP-1s haven’t “broken” the diet industry.... They’ve exposed what so many of us already knew was broken all along. Because if a medication can suddenly quiet the food noise, reduce appetite and help weight loss feel more manageable… Then maybe the issue was never just a lack of discipline, motivation or “trying hard enough.” But while GLP-1s can absolutely be helpful for some women, they also don’t provide the one thing the diet industry has always massively overlooked: 👉 long-term behaviour change👉 emotional support👉 healing your relationship with food👉 and the tools to actually feel free when the weight loss stops In this episode, I’m talking honestly about: ✨ what GLP-1s have highlighted about the failures of the diet industry✨ why they can be the door some women needed to finally make change possible✨ what they fundamentally don’t provide on their own✨ and why proper support matters more than ever if you’re using one Because whether you’re using a GLP-1, meal replacements, calorie counting, or anything else… The real work has never just been about how you lose weight. It’s about what support you get while you’re doing it. And honestly? That’s one of the biggest reasons I no longer fit in the diet industry. Because I’m not here to sell you potions, lotions or lies. I’m here to help you build something that actually lasts 🤍 Use code PODCAST for £5 off your monthly app subscription for as long as you stay subscribed  And if you know you want more personal support with this, not just more information, you can also use code COACH for £30 off any of my monthly coaching packages for 6 months.
