While I am NOT a certified mental health professional I am a certified personal trainer and nutrition advisor. In this episode - topic suggested on the podcast's Instagram account - I share 5 ways that lifting weights can support your mental health. I also offer tips on how to get started.


The first half of the episode covers some of my history with eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse. While I don't go into details, if these are triggers for you please consider skipping this episode.

Where is the podcast headed? My experience of being in a relationship and being ghosted, and what's helping me navigate this. This content is not a substitute for professional mental health support.

After a sizeable break the podcast is back!


in the time I have been away I qualified as a personal trainer and bodybuilding coach, and I am currently training to be a nutritional coach.


My aim is to keep the focus on recovery from BPD and other mental health challenges while adding a fitness and nutrition element!
