How to Accept Sizing Up in Clothes
Do you have a size limit that you can't imagine allowing yourself to wear, let alone invest in.
If your body has changed and you are going around in clothes that make you feel crappy it's likely because you are stuck in the belief that your body is temporary and needs to change.
I've been discussing style and going through some shifts in my own personal style evolution as my body has changed and I've even invested in a stylist (hello Samantha Harman - go check her out!) and it's helped me see the stories that I have been holding on to which have affected my style choices and what I believe I'm worthy of wearing.
We all have to get dressed every single day so lets shake off the old stories you have about why you can't buy clothes that fit your body because I'm betting it's not all down to money!

Intuitive Eating Part 1: Myth Busting
Have you seen intuitive eating being touted as a weight loss method? Perhaps you have avoided intuitive eating because you think you'll end up eating pizza and chocolate all day.
There are a few myths around intuitive eating and in this episode of the Un-Diet Your Menopause podcast, I'm sharing my take on these myths so you can decide for yourself if its right for you in perimenopause.
Will you lose weight or gain weight? What food will you end up eating once diet rules are out of the way? Will you end up never eating cake again? What happens to binge eating?
In this episode you'll learn more about what intuitive eating is, what its not, who it's for and how it can support your health, especially in perimenopause.
Books I recommend to help you get to grips with Intuitive Eating are

Can We Really Wear the Shorts?
This week I'm frustrated at yet another attempt at body positive marketing that has simply just left many of us out of the picture. If we can wear the shorts, could we please have some in our size?
If you are heading in to summer and feeling all the body image issue churning up as you try and figure out what the heck you are going to wear and how to get past your fears of showing your body to the world after what feels like the longest winter, have no fear because I'm delivering the pep talk you need to not give a crap what anyone thinks this summer!

Embracing Rage and Reclaiming Emotions
Ironically, women are stereotyped as 'emotional', but in reality we are often only allowed to exhibit emotions we feel safe to express around other people.
In perimenopause your fuse might be shorter than a stick of dynamite and you cant keep a lid on the boiling pot of emotion that bubbles inside of you
Why? Why now in your 40's are you losing your cool in work, at home, with the kids, the husband, partner or even the dog?
Because your good girl hormone has left the building! Yes our little friend Oestrogen is responsible for making sure you stick to the rules of being the nice one, but she's leaving you high and dry and you're left with some serious rage that seems to come from nowhere.
This surge of emotions is not a fault; it's a compass guiding you towards the areas of your life that need attention.
In this episode I'm going to explain how you can reclaim your emotions without guilt or shame and without feeling like you've hit self destruct button on your life!
Plus get my latest blog post for simple ways you can support yourself through this phase, I use many natural remedies alongside unlearning the patriarchy! I'm sharing them here with you here
Join the Facebook group here (please be aware this is a group I run with other experts who may or may not align with health at every size, I provide support and help for anyone in that group that wants to navigate menopause without diet culture and body shame but I am not in control of others and what they post or discuss)
