Do you actually know when you’re hungry anymore? For a lot of women I work with, that connection has got really fuzzy. Years of meal plans and calorie counting and rules about when to eat means hunger has stopped feeling like useful information — and started feeling like something to manage or ignore. And I just want to say — that makes complete sense. It’s not a you problem. It’s what happens when you spend long enough in diet culture. Your hunger and fullness cues haven’t disappeared though. They’re still there. It’s more like static — the signal gets drowned out by stress, busyness, and years of overriding it. Here’s what I find really worth holding onto — when those cues do start to come back, everything gets simpler. You don’t need a meal plan to tell you when to eat. You don’t need to count anything. You’re not spending half the day in your head about food. Your body just… tells you. And you can get on with your life. That’s what no diet can ever give you — because diets work by overriding the very system that makes that possible. If you’d like some support with starting to reconnect with your hunger and fullness cues, I’ve put together a free guide — Trust Your Cues — which is a gentle place to begin. I’d love to know — how connected do you feel to your hunger and fullness right now? Drop a comment below. 🤍

I have enjoyed a lovely weekend off after a busy couple of weeks💗 Had a lovely date yesterday with my partner at a restaurant called the giggling squid, we then enjoyed a spring walk and finished with pudding in a lovely cafe before heading home.🥰 Today has been watching a nostalgic film this morning and this afternoon doing some batch baking for breakfast bars and yummy nourishing snacks for the week ahead.🤩 Also going through some difficult things at the moment so also had a few episodes of crying and feeling low as well doing things that were joyful.💕 What have you been up to this weekend?🤍

Day off looking exactly like this 🥰 Flapjack, a banana, Yorkshire Life magazine and Neo taking up most of the bed in the van. This is genuinely my idea of heaven. I’ve been working longer hours lately so days like this feel even more important right now. Just pottering, reading, doing nothing in particular. Proper rest, not just collapsing at the end of the day . How do you rest? I’d love to know what a proper day off looks like for you — drop it in the comments below 🤍

Something’s been going on for me lately in my personal life that has been exceptionally hard to navigate. And the thing I keep coming back to is — a few years ago this would have had me eating my way through the kitchen cupboards. Not even consciously. Just that pull towards food when everything feels like a bit much. These last few weeks that didn’t happen. I haven’t even really noticed until now. It’s now automatic for me to do things that help me process the emotion first instead of numbing out with food every time like I used to do, so some things I’ve done is I reached out for support, spent time in nature, I’ve been processing my feelings through talking and meditation, reading, cuddling my animals, and am slowly coming through the other side. No food noise. No food guilt. No trying to feel better with a packet of biscuits and then feeling worse. It’s not a big announcement or anything. Just a quiet thing I wanted to share because sometimes it’s easy to forget how far you’ve come when you’re in the middle of something difficult. If you’re having a hard week too, I hope this is a little reminder that the work you’re putting in here really does work and it will transform your life in so many wonderful ways. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. 🤍 Ps I saw my lovely friend at work today and told her I’m really struggling with some personal stuff at the moment and she gave me a big hug and we took a silly selfie🥰✨

If you’re new here — this is the best place to start. It covers three areas that sit at the heart of this work: 🤍 Food — where you are right now in your relationship with eating 🤍 Body image — how you feel about and relate to your body 🤍 Mindset — the thoughts and beliefs that are driving your patterns It takes just a few minutes and gives you a really honest picture of where you are right now — not to judge, not to give you a score to feel bad about, but to help you understand yourself a little better so you know exactly where to focus. Because one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck is that they’re trying to work on everything at once. This helps you find your starting point. Whenever you feel ready — it’s sitting in the classroom in the START HERE section waiting for you.🥰 Work through it at your own pace and be as honest as you can. That’s where the gold is. 🤍 I’d love to know how you get on.
