We all know that stress is such a common part of modern life. We are always on, we’re all trying to manage too much and juggle too many things in our lives. And of course we all know that it’s not so great for our mental, physical or emotional wellbeing to be dealing with that on an ongoing basis. And while some stress is good and even necessary in our lives, it would be fair to say that most of us would definitely like quite a bit less of it. So, in this two part series, we’re going to...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll probably know that HRT has been having a bit of a moment recently.

In fact, there are some that think that every woman should be on HRT to protect us against a host of issues and diseases as we age. And most...

Have you ever heard the phrase “let go or be dragged”? Well, for many of us there are loads of times and situations in our lives where we reach a crossroads. Where we have a decision we need to make about how we approach a certain problem.

And if you’re in any situations right now, especially regarding your...

As we move into spring, this is an absolutely brilliant time for setting some new fitness goals for ourselves. Our motivation is naturally higher, we’re feeling ready to move our bodies a bit more, we’re leaving behind the comfort food.  But when it comes to setting those goals there are a few mistakes that I see people making over and over again, which can end up with us falling off the wagon within weeks, not achieving our goals and having to go all the way back to the start again. So the...

If you’ve ever intentionally lost weight you’ll be familiar with the high that comes along with that journey. The euphoria you feel when the number on the scales shifts down, or when your clothes start feeling looser and everyone’s commenting on how great you look. But once the result has been achieved and that feeling has gone, what next?

However, if you’re anything like me, you also want to have amazing quality of life for as long as humanly possible. You want to feel good, you...

Become a Premium Podcast Member RIGHT HERE! We’re all familiar with the concept of spending time and money on the things we want. And when it comes to our health, wellbeing and fitness it’s often no different - we think about spending money on a gym, on better quality food, or we think about spending time on exercise, or prepping healthy meals. Well this is where we’re going to flip that thinking. Because when we always see these things as money or time spent it can sometimes feel pretty hard...

Become a premium podcast member RIGHT HERE Did you know that your ego loves to be proved right?

And that this can be a major way in which we hold ourselves back from getting something better? Well today we’re diving into this - diving into the...

Become a premium podcast member RIGHT HERE I’ve been on both sides of the coin with weight loss. On the one hand, spending many years chasing weight loss and making it my number one priority. And on the other hand, spending the last few years focusing on very different fitness and wellness goals.
