Talking with Emma: Stop fighting food & weight

PLAN TO ENJOY 2026

A revolutionary event that helps women set health goals they can live with

[LEARN MORE]

You don’t need to overhaul your life to be healthier in 2026. 

Most health goal-setting systems focus on changing your body, not your behaviours.

They tell you to push through, ignore discomfort and hit the target at any cost

If you reach the goal, they take the credit.
If you don’t, you’re to blame.

Either way, you put...

Summer holidays are a time to rest, connect, and step out of the pace of the year. But they’re also when the pressure to lose weight hits it's peak. 

This year the noise is even louder.
 Weight-loss drugs are being marketed in every podcast ad.
 Swimwear is shown on bodies that look pre-pubescent.
 And family gatherings often come with comments you didn’t ask for.

If you’re tired of it and want to protect yourself fr...

Feeling apologetic about your body isn’t a personal flaw.
 It’s cultural conditioning.
 And once you see where these thoughts come from — and how they’re reinforced — you can start to unlearn them.

In this episode, Emma walks you through the KNOW → GROW → GLOW method she uses with clients who want to feel unapologetic in their bodies:

KNOW
See where your body thoughts actually come from and how they became so automatic.

In this episode, Emma looks at how you can finally step out of the binge restrict cycle using a method grounded in behavioural science and emotional safety.

You’ll learn:

• Why restriction is a trigger fo...

If you spend a lot of time in your head — replaying conversations, overthinking food choices, or worrying about how you look — this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’ll take you on a guided walk.
It’s not a mindset lesson or another thing to get right.
It’s a simple, practical walk designed to help you reconnect with your body.

You’ll be invited to:

• Notice what you see, hear, and feel around you
• Tune in to how you...

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I should accept my body, but that feels like giving up,” this episode is for you.

This week I share the best body image question you can ask yourself — one that changes the entire way you see your body.

We’ll unpack where the pressure to “fix” our bodies comes from, why that instinct feels so normal, and what actually happens when you stop treating your body like a project and start living in it again.

...

If you can’t seem to feel okay in your body (even if you believe in body positivity or read Intuitive Eating), this one’s for you.

In this short episode, Emma introduces her upcoming free masterclass, The Body Acceptance Solution: A 3-step method to trust your body without having to love it.

You’ll hear why knowing about body acceptance isn’t enough when your reflection still upsets you — and how this live class will h...

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I want to exercise more — but it always turns into another thing I’m failing at,” this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode of Talking with Emma, we take a fresh look at movement — not as a project to perfect, but as a way to respect and enjoy your body.

Emma unpacks why so many midlife women lose their motivation for exercise — not because they’re lazy or uncommitted, but because decades ...

In this special episode of Talking With Emma, I’m doing something different.
Instead of teaching a tool or exploring a concept, I’m sharing my story — from childhood through midlife — and how my own experiences with food, weight, and the diet, restrict cycle shaped the work I do today.

You’ll hear about:

• How culture and childhood that shaped my beliefs about health, beauty, and worth
• The years I spent trying to “fix” my body —...

Women can find themselves struggling when it comes to food and exercise. Not because they don’t know enough. Not because they’re lazy or weak. But because of the cultural mindsets that sneak in and run the show.

In this episode of Talking with Emma, I unpack three of the most common food mindsets that sabotage women’s health goals:

• All-or-nothing thinking — why perfectionism keeps you swinging between being “on track” or spiralli...

This week on Talking with Emma, I’m diving into one of the most emotionally charged topics in the health world: food addiction. But instead of recycling the same old narratives, I’m offering a different lens — one that cuts through the confusion, the shame, and the pseudoscience. We’re pulling apart what people really mean when they say they feel addicted to food — and why that feeling is often more about cultural conditioning, res...

In this special {time sensitive} episode, I’m sharing a sneak peek into my free masterclass: The Emotional Eating Solution. I break down a practical, compassionate 3-step process to help you stop the cycle of emotional eating — without more willpower, rigid rules, or yet another plan to follow. If you're ready to feel more in control of your energy, reduce the food noise, and quit beating yourself up, you won't want to mi...

Today, we’re flipping the script on emotional eating. I’m saying what most wellness advice won’t: Eating your feelings isn’t a personal failure. It’s actually your biology doing its job. In this episode, we look at why food is such an effective (and totally sane) way our bodies seek calm after stress, and how cultural conditioning has layered shame, fear, and perfectionism on top of that very human behaviour.

I break down the powerf...

What to Do When Getting Dressed Ruins Your Day

We’ve all had those mornings. You get dressed, catch your reflection — or feel your clothes pinch — and suddenly the whole day feels hijacked. The shame hits hard, especially if you “know better” and still find yourself spiraling.

Here’s the truth: you’re not failing. You’re not weak. You’re not broken.
You’re learning a new skill — and like any new skill, it takes practice.

In this e...

You’ve been told that changing your mindset and loving your body will stop the food and body noise. But those messages, well-meaning as they are, may have  been keeping you stuck. In this episode, I’m diving into why I don’t coach mindset—and why I don’t teach body love either.

Instead of piling on more affirmations or chasing a feeling of love about your body still centers women's worthiness around appearance. I am offering yo...
