Food isn’t the enemy. The way we attach to it, the way we use it to soothe, silence, or escape our emotions often is.

When food becomes our comfort, our distraction, or our coping mechanism, it loses its true purpose & we lose our control.

Food is meant to fuel your body, support your mood, stabilise your energy, and help you thrive… not carry the emotional weight you’ve never been taught to unpack.

When you learn to meet your emotions with awareness instead of a snack, everything shifts.
You feel lighter not because you’re eating less, but because you’re eating with awareness. You’re in conscious control of your choices, not sub-conscious automatic behaviors.

Nourish to thrive.
Not to cope.
Not to numb.
Not to avoid.
Meet yourself with compassion

Bring awareness to how you use food to soothe, numb, reward or whatever it is for you. What are you really hungry for?

And if emotional eating is something you’re ready to break free from, this is exactly the work we do inside The Food Freedom Method with compassion, not judgment. Next intake 2026.

You deserve a relationship with yourself that feels peaceful and empowering. 💛

Just the update on the CGM!

Failed after 6 days 🤪 could handle the heat (literally 😉).

I still think they are a great thing to test out if you are:

✨Struggling to lose weight despite “doing all the things”
✨Feeling hungry again within 1–2 hours after meals
⭐️Experiencing energy crashes, brain fog or mood dips
⭐️Managing insulin resistance or pre-diabetes
⭐️Wanting to understand their personal blood sugar triggers
✨Curious about true personalized nutrition

Although it failed after 6 days, those 6 days were insightful.

I recognize that being able to test a CGM is a privilege. For many people living with diabetes, wearing one isn’t optional, and their often challenging experience deserves respect & compassion.

PS. I had to post this twice as in the first one I sounded like a chipmunk 🤪🤣 absolute gold!!

In a world where we can ask AI anything, generate meal plans, count our macros, get endless tips and transactional answers! it’s easy to assume that information alone is what creates change.

But the real magic?
It still lives in the human-to-human conversation.
In that sacred space where you feel safe enough to explore the why behind what you do… and why you don’t do the things you know would support you.

Healing happens in the pause.
In the curiosity.
In the heart-led questions that help you see yourself clearly and land in those beautiful “aha” moments that shift everything.

This is the space I adore working in! In the therapeutic conversation!
I witness these moments in my sessions all the time, and every single time it feels like a privilege. Watching a woman soften into self-compassion, connect the dots, and finally understand her patterns… that’s the true gold.

I love AI! it’s an incredible tool.
But nothing will ever replace the transformation that happens through connection, presence, and a real conversation with another human who genuinely sees you.

Testing out a continuous glucose monitor for the next 14 days & sharing the information.

I’ve recommended these to a couple of clients so thought I better test it for myself as well.

Blood sugar is super important as you all know! And knowing our individual blood sugar response’s to food is game changing! We can think we are eating “healthy” foods and they may be, but, they may not be right for us! They could be making our blood sugar spike to high or for too long 🤷‍♀️.

So, let’s see how mine is tracking! Really important if you test these out you keep a food diary so you know what you have eaten to match to the blood sugar response.

I have no affiliation with the company listed here, they are just offering the special so I jumped on it. There are other good companies as well & if you are someone who has diabetes or insulin resistance you would need longer than a 2 week trial.

Stay tuned for my progress!!

One step. One choice. One small promise kept to yourself.
That’s how change happens. Quietly, consistently, and with a whole lot of self-compassion along the way.

You don’t need to do it all perfectly.
You just need to keep showing up, one nourishing meal, one mindful workout, one empowered decision at a time.

Because every little action is a vote for the life you’re creating and the person you are becoming, you deserve a life that feels vibrant & to choose yourself daily.

If you’re not seeing results, maybe it’s not you.

Maybe your plan just didn’t account for what you truly bring to the table? What you bring to the table that isn’t about the food!

The truth is knowledge and willpower aren’t the problem.
You probably already know what to do… it’s just that stress, emotions, busyness, and time keep getting in the way.

After more than 20 years in practice, I can tell you, these are the things that quietly sabotage even the best intentions.
They’re the reason why you can be doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck.

Most diet and lifestyle plans don’t factor in the real-life stuff - the mental load, the emotional exhaustion, the moments where willpower simply runs out (and it always does).

That’s why I create programs that support your whole self! your body, your emotions, and your mindset, not just what’s on your plate.

So if you’ve tried everything and still feel like nothing’s working… maybe it’s time to try something different.
Something designed to get you results & discover what you REALLY bring to the table!

The last intake for my two programs The Mindset Reset & Metabolic Balance® are open until Oct 22. With exclusive end of year bonuses.

I’ve been thinking a lot about change lately, the kind we choose for ourselves.

Whether it’s moving house, changing careers, or deciding to lose weight, there’s always a messy middle.

It feels hard, uncomfortable, and at times you wonder if it’s worth it.

But here’s the truth: change is hard, and staying the same is also hard.

The difference? One keeps you stuck, the other moves you closer to the life you want.

Hard is part of the process no matter where or what you are sitting with right now. I guess the real key is to get comfortable with it. It is an ebb & flow, feels hard, then easy & comfortable then hard again.

If you’re in the messy middle right now - keep going. The version of you on the other side is worth it!

We’ve been taught to believe that self-love only comes after we arrive at the goal weight, the dream body, or perfect health.

But the truth is, you don’t have to wait. You can appreciate, like, and even love yourself right now, while still wanting to grow, heal, and become healthier.

It doesn’t have to be either/or. You are already a masterpiece and a beautiful work in progress. (So am I.)

I know that “loving” certain parts of ourselves can feel tough, so start with appreciation or respect.
For me, I naturally carry weight around my middle. Do I love it? Hell No. But I can respect my belly for carrying two babies. Instead of punishing it, I support it with habits that align with the way I want to feel.

Start from a place of care, not criticism. From nourishment and self-respect, not restriction. When your daily habits come from this place, they naturally become your way of life and that’s where real, lasting change begins!

Here’s the thing - your relationship with food often began long before you realised it. Family habits, celebrations, and childhood experiences, all shaped how you eat today.

That’s part of the reason why diet changes can feel so hard. And, it’s often over looked. If food is your main source of joy, taking it away without finding other ways to bring in joy and comfort will feel unsustainable.

For me, planning ahead makes all the difference!
I know how I’ll be nourishing my body. And I also create space for breaks (like fasting depending on my cycle) so I’m not always thinking about food.

It’s also super important to find some joy in healthy food as well and also finding joy in other ways that aren’t food related.

Food change isn’t just about willpower. It’s about understanding your relationship with food and creating new ways to feel joy, care and connection.

Take a moment: what were your earliest experiences with food? Can you see how they play out in your life today?
