I’ve been where you are.

The woman who can “do it all” - until one day, she can’t. 💔

I studied my nutrition degree while working full-time.

Two young kids (one with additional needs).
No family support.
I was at capacity.

Then… a surprise pregnancy tipped everything over.

I was finishing my degree, launching my business, juggling my corporate career, and caring for three boys under 5... and I fell apart.

Postnatal depression. Burnout. I could not see a solution.

I didn’t want to be here anymore, and I was planning to make that happen.

My recovery wasn’t fast or pretty, but I did it and I’m on the other side.

I am not the same woman who cried every day for two years.

I know my boundaries, I prioritise myself every day, I refuse to feel guilty.

💚 And it’s why I now help women rebuild their health, energy, and sense of self before they reach that point.

You can eat all the right foods...

🥙 Sandwiches
🥑 Avocado
🥤 Smoothies

And still gain weight if you’re not in a calorie deficit.

Healthy foods are nutrient-dense (yay!), but many are also energy-dense.

💡 Fat loss happens when your energy intake is lower than your energy output - not when your food is “clean.

Motherhood is wild.

And some days, it can feel like you’re running on caffeine and cortisol.

Exercise isn’t about chasing abs; it’s about chasing sanity.

It’s the reset button that helps you show up with patience, energy, and (mostly) a sense of humour intact.

➡️ Follow for practical nutrition support for busy mums.

Movement boosts endorphins, regulates hormones, supports metabolism, and reduces stress.

🔥 It’s one of the most powerful - and underused - tools for navigating motherhood, perimenopause, and everything in between.

So yes, dragging yourself to the gym or out for a walk is hard.

But so is feeling snappy, exhausted, and stuck.

Choose your hard - one builds resilience, the other drains it.

Because let’s be real… rawdogging motherhood without endorphins is not the vibe 😅💪

If you’ve ever said…

“I’ve tried everything and nothing works,” I hear you.

You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or broken … you’re just stuck in a loop of effort without strategy.

And that’s exhausting.

Most of the time, it’s not a lack of willpower… it’s the tiny habits hiding in plain sight that quietly keep you stuck.

⏰ The late-night scrolling that kills your morning workout.
🍷 The “just one more” wine or snack that adds up through the week.
🥗 The “I eat healthy” mindset - without real structure or awareness.

It’s not one big mistake - it’s a collection of small ones, repeated.

Here’s the good news: all of this is fixable.

When you learn how to fuel properly, train efficiently, and find consistency that actually fits your life — results stop feeling so impossible.

This carousel isn’t about guilt — it’s about awareness.

Because once you see the patterns, you can change them. And that’s where real progress begins.

👉 Save this for a reminder, and if you’re ready to finally get results that last (without restriction, overwhelm, or guesswork)…

The potato story… Pt. 1 🥔

A client came in last week feeling completely confused after being told by another health professional to cut out white potatoes if he wanted to lose weight.

Let’s clear this up: potatoes are not the problem.

🥔They’re a wholefood packed with potassium, vitamin C, and resistant starch - which actually supports gut health and blood sugar balance (especially when cooked & cooled).

Demonising one food or food group doesn’t lead to better health - it just fuels confusion and guilt.

The real issue?
It’s not one food that causes weight gain, it’s overconsumption as a whole.

Portion sizes, frequency, and overall energy balance matter far more than whether your carbs come from potato, rice, quinoa, or cakes.

So instead of cutting out foods you love, focus on:
🥗 Balanced meals with protein, fibre, and colour
🥔 Reasonable portions (you don’t need to ban carbs)
🎯 Consistency over restriction

Food shouldn’t make you feel guilty — it should fuel you, nourish you, and bring you joy.

And for the record? Potatoes can 100% stay.

One thing I want to teach my 3 boys…

Is that experiences are superior to ‘things’.

For my eldest boy’s 9th birthday, I gifted him a night away with me at the Sunshine Coast (lucky to have my parents’ place!) the weekend would be centred around stuff he loves to do & just generally a chance to connect.

As a soccer-obsessed boy, he gets plenty of 1:1 time with my husband, less so with me in recent times, so I wanted to make it special.

Man oh man, nailed it 💫

HIGHLIGHTS:
✨ Cultivating his appreciation for 90’s and 00’s bangers 😂

✨ Exploring nature walks & mountain climbs (without hearing “my feet hurt, carry me!!” every 10 steps)

✨ Casually hunting through ocean rock pools for all kinds of sea creatures, coral & seaweed

✨ Enjoying a beautiful meal in a restaurant (without coming laden with colouring books & random toys stuffed in my bag 🤣)

✨ Having my door opened for me & hearing “Ladies first” at every turn 🥹

✨ Making it through the whole weekend without a single request for TV

✨ Seeing his face light at every experience, so happy to be there & loving the moment

LOWLIGHTS:
🫶🏻 There were none, it was quite literally perfect

It is definitely going to become a tradition for each of my boys’ birthdays, the other two are so keen & counting down the days already ☺️

Do you do this kind of stuff with your kids?
Would you try it?

Feel like you’re alone in your struggle?

In honour of Maternal Mental Health Month, I wanted to share some mental health stuff about me that only people in my inner circle previously knew.

I haven’t shared much about my journey on social media, probably because I feel like as someone who helps others navigate this stuff I should be the one who has it together. Which is crazy, I know.

Hoping that by sharing a little of my personal experience it helps someone who is currently going through it.

I’d love to know if you can relate to this, let me know in the comments or shoot me a DM to chat ⬇️

Forgot to prioritise yourself these school holidays?

Here's what a recent client had to say about working with me:

"Cailie is nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I began my personalised sessions with her, it was evident that she genuinely cared about my well-being and health. Her passion and extensive knowledge in nutrition create an atmosphere of engaging conversations, making every session pleasurable. After years of struggling with various dietary issues, I was amazed by the almost instant improvements I experienced when following Cailie's expert advice and minor tweaks to my eating habits.

As time went on, my symptoms improved beyond anything I had imagined, and it is all thanks to Cailie's guidance and expertise. She has an impressive ability to tailor her approach to each individual, ensuring that the advice and recommendations are not only effective but also suited to my unique needs and goals. Cailie's honesty and transparency are truly commendable.

She doesn't promise quick fixes but instead provides a realistic understanding of the time and effort needed to achieve lasting results. I wholeheartedly recommend Cailie to anyone seeking a nutritionist who not only knows her stuff but also genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. Thank you so much!"

The secret to long-term healthy habits?

FLEXIBLE ROUTINE.

If you’re struggling to stick to a new healthy regime because you’re being strict… know that flexibility is one of the key components of adherence to a plan.

Try this: Eat at roughly the same times each day, but with variations of similar foods.

Why?
Because you will be able to better manage your nutrient intake by not letting yourself become over-hungry, and it saves your brain the effort of wondering when / what you’ll be eating next and ultimately grabbing for the nearest thing in sight.
