Hello lovely members, I am currently designing a free mini-course to help you take some quick and simple steps towards healing your relationship with food and your body. It would really help me if you could share what your greatest struggle around food and/or body is that you would like to take action on at the moment. Feel welcome to comment below if the poll does not cover a category you are interested in.

Next time a negative thought about your body shows up, you don't need to push it away or argue with it. Just notice it's there, and meet it with a bit of compassion. Something like, "I hear you, and it makes sense you feel that way." Then, gently add something else alongside it. Think of your worth like a flower made up of lots of different petals — and not one of those petals is how your body looks. Each petal is something else entirely: your kindness, your humour, the way you care for the people around you, the things you're good at, the things you've lived through. So many petals, and your appearance was never one of them. So when that hard thought shows up, try naming one petal alongside it. Just one thing about you that has nothing to do with how your body looks. You don't have to silence the hard thoughts to remember your worth is still there. You just learn to hold both 🤍 What's one petal you can name today?

For a long time I genuinely believed I had no willpower when it came to food. Chocolate, biscuits, cake — I'd eat them and couldn't stop, and then I'd spend the rest of the day feeling guilty and blaming myself. I thought the problem was me. That other women could have one biscuit and walk away, and I simply couldn't. But cravings aren't a willpower problem. They're information. And this is the gateway to healing. Most of the time cravings come down to one of three things. Either you're not eating enough through the day and your body is playing catch up. Or you've got food rules running in the background creating that feast or famine feeling — eat as much as possible now because tomorrow I'm starting again. Or there's an emotion underneath it that's looking for somewhere to go. None of those things are character flaws. They all make complete sense when you understand what's driving them. The shift that changed everything for me was moving from criticising myself to getting curious. Not "what is wrong with me" but "I wonder what's going on here." It sounds small but it really does change everything. Is there a food you feel out of control around right now? Drop it in the comments below. 👇🤍

You don't have to love your body. I really mean that. We live in a society that worships thin bodies and ties them to success and worth — so if you're finding it hard to feel good about yours, that makes complete sense. Body image is something we work on slowly in intuitive eating and with compassion. It's a practice, not a switch. And the aim is not to feel like you have to love your body, but rather an invitation to offer it respect instead. Your body moves you through your life. It shows up for you every single day. Starting to notice that — really notice it — is where something starts to shift. Treating your body with care because it deserves it where you are right now, is so valuable. You don't have to love it today. Just see if you can be a little kinder to it 🤍

What's the one thing you'd most love some support with right now — with food, with your body, all of it? It might be not trusting your hunger, it might be evening eating, it might be feeling uncomfortable with how you look. Or something else entirely. I'm always working on new things in here and I want it to feel relevant to you. So if you feel like sharing, I'd love to hear where you're at 🤍 Drop it below 👇
