Summer’s here, and with it comes BBQs, brunches, and all-day socialising — which can make staying mindful about food feel like an uphill battle. In this episode, we dive into 10 straightforward, real-life habits that keep you energised, satisfied, and sane around food.
Learn why starting your morning with protein sets the tone for the day, how “just a bite” of your kid’s leftovers adds up, and what to do when your partner’s plate is...
Sick of tracking every bite just to feel like you’re doing things “right”?
You’re not the only one. In this episode, we talk about why traditional calorie tracking often backfires for busy expat mums—and what to focus on instead to finally see results.
If logging food feels exhausting, restrictive, or totally unrealistic with your lifestyle, this one’s for you. Ditch the numbers. Keep the progress.

Living in a new place is hard, especially when it comes to living outside your home country. If you don’t live overseas, you may live away from where you grew up and this will still hit home. Pun intended!
Homesickness, different foods, language barriers, and a busy schedule, with limited family support (where’s Gran when ya need her to babysit?!). This can take a toll on your health and body. Living away from home isn’t always ...
You’re juggling jet lag, kids, and a whole new culture. Fitness can feel like one more impossible task. In this episode, we share the exact place to start when time is tight, life is chaotic, and you’ve already tried “starting over” more times than you can count.

It’s easy to fall off track, and often we don’t even notice it happening.
Many of us get so fixated on the end goal that we overlook the journey itself. I know this might sound contrary to the usual goal-setting advice, including what I’ve said before about “Finding Your WHY!”
But here’s the twist...
If you’re only focused on the end goal—like checking the mirror and not seeing immediate physical changes—it can be disheart...

In the lead-up to doing IVF, getting pregnant, and 38 weeks of baking the boys (lol that sounds weird, but I’m rolling with it), I managed to gain 5 kilos. That’s 11 pounds. Argh!
I was beating myself up for the longest time about this. How did I allow myself to gain so much body fat? I’m a coach; I should know better!
But the thing is, there are a lot of factors to weight gain (and losing it). It’s not so black and white.
If you’ve g...
For years (since 1999), I’ve been training mums around the world on how to get healthy, fit, and regain their pre-baby bodies. And it’s been amazing!
But, I always felt a little bit like a fraud. Not because I didn’t believe I could get them in shape, but because I never had babies!
Now that I have newborn baby boys, I know what it’s like to be...
