“You can’t carry that pain and not carry weight.” Oprah

So often, food becomes comfort when what we’re really carrying is emotional pain.
Oprah’s words remind us: weight isn’t just physical it’s emotional too.

In Life Upgrade, we don’t just treat the symptoms, We heal the roots,
so you can finally feel light inside and out.

DM FREE if you’re ready to let go of emotional weight.

Memories I made on retreat..
New retreats are coming next year.. this could be one of you? Want in?

We’ve all said it…
“This week I’m eating clean. No excuses.”

You do the grocery shop, prep the meals, feel so on track.
Then later… that lingering thought:
“There’s still chips in the pantry…”

You give in.
Then comes the guilt. The “I’ll start again Monday” cycle.

Eating your stress and feelings?

Almost every women I know and talked too experienced this.. you’re not alone.

Stress has a way of making food the go-to comfort, often without us even realising it. But when emotions take over, food stops being fuel and starts feeling like the enemy.

Menopause can hit suddenly and suddenly, food becomes everything.

Craving, constant hunger, irritability, weight gain… and a voice in your head wondering what's wrong with you.

Neither will guilt.

You're not broken you just need a new approach.

Drop MENO and I'll send you support that actually works.

⬇️ My story ⬇️

I used to live in the all-or-nothing mindset with food.
Cut carbs. Skip meals. Workout daily.
By week two I’d burn out.

Then came the guilt, emotional eating, and starting over every Monday. Exhausting.

The truth? Restriction and willpower don’t work especially for women 35+ and 40+.

✨ Real, sustainable weight loss happens when you:
✔ Break the all-or-nothing trap
✔ Reset your relationship with food
✔ Manage stress, hormones + emotional eating
✔ Build habits you can actually keep

This is what I teach inside Life Upgrade a lifestyle approach to feeling lighter, stronger, and in control again.

Trying to cut carbs is not for the weak.. until your body, brain, and soul all revolt at once

Truth is, it’s not the carbs.. it’s the relationship we have with food.

Restriction = craving.
Craving = guilt.
Guilt = cycle continues.

What if you didn’t have to cut carbs to feel better in your body?

Yep, that’s what I teach. Mindful eating, less drama, and carbs included.

This is my take 👇👇

Cutting out your favourite foods never works...

It just makes you crave them even more. Instead of banning chocolate or chips, what if you enjoyed them in small, guilt-free portions?

No more “this is a bad food I will try to avoid this” mindset, no more binge guilt. It’s about balance, not restriction, and learning to care for yourself in ways that truly work.

Share this with someone who needs to hear it 💖

For so many women, food feels like the enemy, tied to guilt and fear. Diet culture teaches us to label food as “good” or “bad,” turning every meal into a battle.

But food is meant to nourish, energise, and support your body, not punish it. When you see food as fuel and care for yourself with intention, eating becomes freeing, not restrictive.

This mindset shift takes time, but it leads to peace, balance, and a healthier, happier relationship with food.
