Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew
Hoovering - Episode 101: Devinia Noel
Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.
This week I’m talking, for the first time ever on a hoovering to a CBT therapist - not my one, one called Devinia Noel who specialises as intuitive eating counselling and who is better known on Instagram as at diet boycott - we met on the Hungry Feminist crossover episode and as you’ll hear is madly articulate when it comes to what diets really do to us. Amazing to get an expert perspective on something so important.

Honourable Mentions
If you’re London based and looking for intuitive eating counselling then click on her name here for her website DEVINIA NOEL and of course she’s on Instagram as THEDIETBOYCOTT
You can also see Devinia speak at last week’s guest the ANTI RIOT DIET CLUB which the next one of is this Sunday 19th Jan!
And also Devinia highly recommends a book called TRAIN HAPPY by Tally Rye, a genuinely inclusive and body positive personal trainer and Devinia features in the book as a model.
I would very much love to have you come and see my stand up show HENCH, which is at the SOHO THEATRE in London from now until 25th January and I’ve added extra shows on 24th & 25th because it’s really selling out, and then I’m off on TOUR all around the UK, IRELAND and MELBOURNE.
Outside of that I’ll be doing new material gigs and I’m always sticking new dates on
