Rewriting happiness.

What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it's fame and money, you're not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, ...

Parenting in a world of technology can hold many (many) complexities and challenges. There is no easy answer but I'm glad to share this useful parenting guide based on research of UK teenagers. It makes quite a lot of assumptions about how reasonable a young person might be around having phone restrictions... I'm certain it would bring good results long term. I'd love to hear how it works in practice. Sending a cheer for every parent navigating this with their children.https://assets.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/wpuploads/2025/12/cc-what-i-wish-parent-guide.pdf

Really glad to see such clear writing that when it comes to food we can’t blame individual choice. We live in a system of ultrprocessed, hyperpalpable, hyper marketed non-food which creates huge profit for them but leaves us craving and without the necessary nourishment for well-being. I’d love the system to change overnight but revolution can begin in personal empowerment by gaining the skills, knowledge and ways of living well with ease. This is why Somerset Council fund all my workshops to help you improve your physical and emotional health in a deep yet simple way. Courses and workshops start this month.

I wanted to share this map with everyone again because it's so important. Every time I look at it, it reminds me exactly why I do what I do.

The UK sits alone in red, the only European country where more than half of household food purchases are ultra-processed. We've become the unhealthiest nation in Europe, and it's not because we lack willpower or discipline. It's because our food system is broken.

Think about it. Portugal manages just 10.2%. Italy sits at 13.4%. France at 14.2%. These countries haven't discovered some magical secret. They've simply held onto something we've lost: a culture of real food, cooked from scratch, shared with family and friends. Meanwhile, we've handed our health over to food manufacturers who care more about profit margins than our wellbeing.

I'm not interested in pointing fingers at individuals. This isn't your fault. For decades, the food industry has spent billions engineering products designed to make you eat more, buy more, crave more. They've stripped the fibre out, pumped the sugar in, and marketed it all as convenient, affordable, and perfectly acceptable. They've captured our taste buds, hijacked our metabolism, and left us wondering why we can't shift the weight or find the energy we used to have.

But we can turn this around. Not through government mandates or another failed public health campaign, but through a grassroots movement of people who refuse to accept this as normal anymore.

Fully Funded Weightloss Support In Somerset

New Year often brings with it another round of weightloss resolutions that ultimately make lots of money for diet companies and slimming products and leave us feeling hungry, craving, failing and giving up.

They leave us thinking that we are the problem.
I want to tell you, that you are not the problem.
The diet industry and the restrictive unwholesome method is the problem.

I want to share a new route, a new way.
That focuses on nourishing.
On becoming more empowered to choose.
On support for mindset, nutrition and self care that empowers us.
It becomes about how we want to eat and how we want to care for ourselves.
Then, weightloss becomes a natural side effect of caring and nourishing.

You are welcome to join me for 6 online session, for free, funded by Somerset Council.

Lose Weight, Gain Empowerment 6 week online course
A supportive empowered approach to sustainable, nourishing weightloss.
Starts 17th February | Tuesdays 1pm – 2.30pm | Online
6 group sessions and a 1-1 session
8 spaces available
