Diet culture has so thoroughly warped our sense of normal that most women genuinely don’t know what a healthy relationship with food is supposed to look like anymore. This week I’m answering that question honestly - what normal eating actually is, what intuitive eating really means, and how to start finding your way back to a relationship with food that just feels... easy.

Happy 1 Year Period Anniversary to Me! On today's episode I reflected back on my own period recovery journey and the mental shifts that came along with it.

Recovery forced me to change my whole belief system, trust in a process I didn't even know was working and rediscover who I was before the world told me who I should be.

Here are 7 quotes that rewired my brain and altered my brain chemistry and I hope that they might do the same...

This week it’s a Q&A and we’re getting into all of it - the personal stuff and the recovery stuff. This one feels like a proper catch up and I loved every second of it.

  • My dogs, holidays and family
  • How my boyfriend and I met
  • What my eating and training looks like at the moment
  • Exercise during period recovery
  • My motivations for recovery

This week I’m sharing the nutrition advice I find myself giving again and again as a women’s health coach, the stuff that actually moves the needle and that mainstream nutrition culture consistently gets wrong.

No quick fixes, no rules. Just real, functional nutrition advice built around how the female body actually works.

We cover:

  • Why most women need to eat more than they think
  • What your gut symptoms are actually tell...

This week's question is one I think so many of us need to hear answered honestly because rest guilt is real, it is incredibly common, and it has nothing to do with being lazy.

In this episode I'm unpacking why rest guilt happens, what it's actually telling you, and how to start shifting your relationship with stillness so that rest finally starts to feel like something you deserve rather than something you have to earn.

This episode is one I have wanted to make for a long time because exercise addiction is one of the most undertalked and most misunderstood struggles in the wellness space. Not because it's rare, but because from the outside it looks exactly like something to be celebrated.

I'm sharing my own personal journey with exercise addiction, what it actually looked like and what it took to build a genuinely healthy relationship with movement...

On this week's QOTW episode I discussed how to identify whether you might have PMOS or HA.

We spoke about what to look out for in your bloodwork, worthing with a functional practitioner and why HA receives so much misdiagnosis.

We also chatted through a life update about puppy mum life, finding my style after changing from a size 6 to a size 12 and a weekend in my life.

On today's QOTW episode we chatted about dysregulation, living in alignment and what it actually means to 'regulate' your nervous system.

The nervous system is something the wellness girlies LOVE to talk about but what the heck is it? And how can we start to be more aware of how our external environment shapes our internal reality.

Alicia Romijn is the soul behind Everyday Connection, and this isn't where she thought she'd end up. She was a town planner, then a teacher, and then somehow ended up creating content and realised that what she actually loved was just sharing people's stories and creating spaces where people could be vulnerable with each other.

In this episode she shares her own journey with anxiety, depression, and body image, how movement helped h...

This episode is your introduction to endocrine disrupting chemicals - what they are, where they're hiding, and what the research is actually telling us about their impact on women's hormonal health.

This isn't meant to send you into a spiral about everything in your home. It's just information, because the more you know, the more empowered you are to make choices that actually support your health.

This episode is a conversation I've been wanting to have for a long time because people pleasing is one of those things that so many of us do without even realising it, and almost nobody is talking about where it actually comes from or what it's really costing us.

So consider this a conversation with a friend. We're exploring why we learn to people please, what it gives us, and why the cost of being everything for everyone is that y...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com. To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla.
