Nourished Warrior Hi! I believe we all have a light within us, sometimes we just need to reconnect to it!

I'm Serena, a Mind Body Eating Coach & Yoga Teacher passionate about empowering women to heal their relationship with food and find freedom in mind, body and soul.

⁣I’ve noticed us women can feel guilty around experiences that give us pleasure - including food - which leaves a bitter aftertaste to what is meant to be nourishing and life-giving

Perhaps you’re semi-enjoying something while you’re eating it but at the same time have judging thoughts that it’s a “bad” or “naughty” food..and you’re doing something “wrong” ⠀

Guilt can taint our experience and weaken our vitality ⠀

Pleasure, when we’re in right relationship with it, is a power booster and gives radiance to a woman. It quite literally turns her ON!!⠀

And what this world needs is women who are turned on 🌹

This beautiful question is an indicator of your current relationship with food (and pleasure) ⠀

It’s less about what you are eating and more about evolving your relationship to these aspects of your life⠀

It’s a JUICY topic and a fascinating place of exploration⠀

Yet another reason why I love the approach of my work as a Mind Body Eating Coach. ⠀

Whatever your answer, meet it with a sense of curiosity, compassion and gentleness. ⠀

Avoid falling into the sneaky trap of feeling guilty for feeling guilty. Easily done.⠀

I’d love to know the last thing you ate where you gave yourself full permission to deeply drop into pleasure and feel fully satisfied. ⠀

Whether it was a delicious dish cooked by a friend, some warm apple pie, a piece of decadent chocolate cake (ideally fed to you by your lover on sheets of satin) or some fresh strawberries with the sun on your face! ⠀

Mine was a piece of toasted carrot cake eaten in a café while people watching..which is one of my favourite (guilt-free) past times ….mmm mmm mmm⠀

If you’d like to explore more about how to find peace and pleasure with food I have a few juicy 1:1 coaching spots available coming up.. feel free to DM me. I’d love to hear from you! ⠀

⁣I think it’s cute how excited we get about new developments in technology when the ultimate technology….is us.⠀

Because advancements are impressive and needed but I still can’t get over the fact that belly buttons are the first way we receive nourishment through a cord in the womb of our mothers.⠀

Like what the actual?? Straight out of a sci-fi movie⠀

You are a delicious pulsation of organic intelligence (Yup, organic and free range!) ⠀

You are living technology ⠀

Your mind and body is a sophisticated system constantly in the most delicate of dances.⠀

Within you there is a symphony of intelligent processes interacting with each other designed to keep you here on this planet to play, learn, dance, cry, love….and eat your favourite ice-cream

When we start exploring our own technology with fascination and curiosity rather than judgement and criticism, we can navigate this life with more ease and pleasure. ⠀

Also, aren’t bellybuttons just the cutest thing. A little button on your belly. No puedo

⁣She holds us 🌎

I’ve been connecting with the beautiful truth that Mother Earth simply holds us.⠀

We don’t need to prove that we are worthy ⠀

She doesn’t care about our achievements or accreditations⠀

She doesn’t ask for rent or references⠀

In our moments of purest joy and those of deepest sorrow. ⠀

With every breath⠀
With every tear⠀
With every step⠀

Patiently. Holding us. ⠀

Whenever I feel off balance I bring my awareness to my feet…And soften my little being in the feeling of being held….surrendering to gravity.⠀

She’s got you⠀

No matter where you are or where you are going⠀

She’s holding you

Always⠀

Let that truth wash through you like the soft wave of an infinite ocean 💧

⁣Cause there’s been enough self criticism and judgement 👆🏼

As you explore your relationship with food and your body…and get to know yourself better, try being curious & compassionate. ⠀

It brings sweet spaciousness to your journey of self discovery & healing.

Because it’s deep and intimate work!⠀
The truth is....it can be easier to feel compassion for others than for ourselves. ⠀

Especially in the moments we need it the most..⠀

When you trip up and that voice in your head says you’ve got it wrong…again.⠀

Beating yourself when you’re down. ⠀
So next time you find yourself overeating, binge eating or engaging in any unwanted behaviour around food that leaves you confused and ashamed, invite in some compassion. Talk to yourself like you would talk to 7 year old you. ⠀

Be curious and compassionate..

You’re human. You’re learning.
It's all good.⠀

⁣“So…what should we eat?” 🤔🥺😱😳

We live in a time where this simple question can be overwhelming⠀

Because these are wild times my loves

Let’s take a look at our ancestors and animals...👴🏾 🐯

You don’t see a tiger wondering if she should go vegan⠀
Or a zebra wondering if she should try keto⠀

No ma’am⠀

They eat, take a siesta in the sun then maybe engage in some afternoon frolicking..They are guided by the innate intelligence of life.⠀

⁣Side note.. isn’t frolicking such a fun word! Underused

And our ancestors ate what was available geographically and seasonally - in harmony with their environment. ⠀

So why is it so tricky for us modern day mortals? ⠀

A big factor is that the world of nutrition and fad diets keeps changing and it is hard to keep up. Food is in or out of fashion. One day an entire food group is villainized and a little later it’s praised for it’s benefits. Experts disagree and there is so much conflicting information! At the same time certain foods are created to get us hooked with little actual nutritional value. And if we’re one of the lucky ones we also have a LOT of choice. ⠀

No wonder we’re confused! ⠀

It can be daunting.⠀

If this resonates, give yourself some grace because again, these are wild times

A great place to start is to check in with yourself after eating a meal or a type of food. Listen to how your mind and body respond to the meal because the same intelligence and wisdom that guides this whole universe and those wild animals, is in you.⠀

So take your power back my love⠀

Because the answers aren’t only found in the latest article on the benefits of a food substance. ⠀

They are found in you. ⠀

⁣Truth Bomb 💣 👆🏼

I read something along these lines years ago and thought “What is that supposed to mean?” ⠀

Because at the time I was so focused on what I was eating, and whether that food was good or bad. Was I being healthy or being naughty in my food choices. ⠀

Truth is...the food you eat is only half the picture. 🍒

The other half is who you are as an eater. 🙋🏽‍♀️

It’s about your personal eating experience, getting to know yourself and understanding…

Your patterns ⠀
Your triggers ⠀
Your beliefs⠀
Your emotions ⠀
Your mindset
Your mind body connection⠀

What drives your behaviour..

Because you are a beautiful, complicated human. Not a robot

And the forces that drive us to eat are more powerful, complex and interesting than rationally deciding to eat this food or that food.

It's less about will power and control and more about self awareness and discovery ✨

As always, the invitation is to approach this journey of discovery with the 2 most important and delicious ingredients, curiosity and compassion! ⠀

If you’re interested in doing deeper work, healing your relationship with food and finding more freedom in this area of your life, let's chat!

⁣You are an influencer 😎

I love this term..for every single one of us.

Influencing it isn’t exclusive to sparkly peeps with a billion followers on social media, lucrative paid partnerships and a life so shiny it hurts. ⠀

If you are reading this you are an influencer

In every moment you are impacting your environment and the world around you.

With your presence, your intention, your heart, your breath, your being.⠀

If you are a mother, your relationship to food and body can powerfully influence your little girl as she forms her relationship to food and her body.⠀

Truly powerful people take ownership of their own influence in the world and use it to uplift and inspire. ⠀

From your partner and those closest to you all the way to the cashier at the supermarket and the cool Deliveroo dude.⠀

Every person you interact with you are influencing on some level

Let’s remember this truth and leave trails of beauty behind us as we walk through this life and influence the world around us. ⠀

⁣What foods nourish you?⠀
Which people inspire you? ⠀
Which activities energise you? ⠀
What movement does your body love?⠀

And my favorite question...⠀

What. Makes. You. Come. Alive?⠀

Mmmm so juicy! ⠀

Getting to know yourself and looking after yourself is how you get in the driver seat of your health and life which the world needs right now.

Collectively we can still fall into the trap that self care is selfish when so much is going on in the world but how can you make a positive impact in your world and community if you don’t have a clue about the answers above? When we are disconnected from our nature and body wisdom. ⠀

Let’s explore and hold these questions with curiosity and become experts of ourselves. ⠀


Why? ⠀

To be the most alive and expressed people we came here to be, make the world a better place and enjoy this ride!⠀

Make yourself and your life your own scientific experiment and become the expert of you..⠀

⁣How do you hold space for yourself when you experience uncomfortable emotions?⠀

Holding space is the art of creating a compassionate container by simply being present and listening to someone express what they are experiencing. ⠀

Witnessing without trying to offer advice, judging, “fixing” or telling them what you think they should do. ⠀

It’s allowing them to move through whatever is alive in them without interfering and cutting the experience short. ⠀

Being seen and heard is deeply powerful and something all humans crave. ⠀

Yet we tend to think of how we can hold space with our friends, partners, loved ones.⠀

We rarely think of how can we hold space for ourselves when emotions arise in our experience that are uncomfortable. ⠀

We tend to run to the fridge or to our distraction of choice. External solutions⠀

Holding space for yourself means not trying to “figure out” where you went wrong, why this is happening or how you can rush through the discomfort. ⠀

It’s witnessing your inner world, breathing, acknowledging what is alive and letting it move through you…Without judgement. The no judgement is the tricky bit but it’s also the trick! ⠀

It’s creating that compassionate container within yourself for your experience as you would for someone you really love. ⠀

It’s something we master and it takes practice, but it’s so worth it.⠀
