the reality of training for a marathon

EP73 - recently, i have felt that my decisions and how i am living my life has been overly influenced by others and what i think i should do rather than what i actually want. this episode is what you need to hear if you feel the same. we need to prioritise setting boundaries, tuning into what it is we want and learning to communicate effectively so we can navigate situations that impact ourselves and others productively. your life isn't yours if you constantly care what others think. hope this helps, lotsa love as always xoxo

it’s time to listen to your intuition

EP72 - wow i have been so busy lately and i won't lie i have been struggling quite a bit. in general, i have felt overwhelmed and my creativity has felt stifled so i have opened up to people, reflected on my thoughts and behaviours, and have taken action. these actions have helped me so much in the past week or so, so i wanted to share them with you in the hopes that they will help you if you relate. reminder: you are enough, you are doing amazingly and it is okay to feel a little lost or overwhelmed at times, you are growing, learning and allowing yourself to become stronger. lotsa love as always xoxo

overcoming your overwhelm

EP71 - there's definitely some new people here so i thought i would do a q&amp;a to get to know me a little better. in this episode, i cover my childhood growing up in 17 different homes, my parents' separation and my dad passing away. you also wanted to know if I had any regrets within my relationships, my recovery journey and my career. there is a lot in this episode and it is quite random but i loved sharing this with you and really hope you enjoy it nonetheless. lotsa love as always xoxo

get to know me better - my life journey and the lessons i've learnt

EP70 - whoever said communication is key knew what they were talking about. in this episode, i catch you guys up on my life recently and talk all things communication. the power that intentional and effective communication has is honestly life changing. whether this is with your family, your friends, your boyfriend, your girlfriend or with strangers. how you speak, react and use your verbal and non-verbal language impacts everything. it's an ongoing journey with constant lessons but we are learning together and always making progress. lotsa love as always xoxo

are you communicating effectively?

EP69 - so i did an event at the weekend with a q&amp;a and thought it would be useful to share some of the answers i gave there. in this episode, i talk a lot about what i have learnt in terms of coping mechanisms for different stresses and challenges that often come along in life. whether that is waking up with anxiety, feeling frustrated towards a loved one or friend or comparing yourself to other people. whilst we have to accept that this will happen throughout life, we can become better at managing our reaction towards it and how we deal with it, that's the part that really matters. i hope you guys can relate and take something from this, lotsa love as always xoxo

understanding emotions and finding your coping mechanisms

EP68 - we are constantly evolving and there is such beauty in that. we have an opportunity each day to make subtle changes to become who we want to be and achieve the goals we have set ourselves. coming back from Australia, there are a lot of small habits i want to prioritise maintaining and building upon, such as being more organised, cooking meals myself to fuel my body properly, improving my sleep pattern and more. maybe this can inspire some new habits for you or provide some motivation to dedicate yourself to creating habits that benefit your personal goals...lotsa love as always xoxo

build small habits, change your life

EP67 - have you ever considered that the answer to your problems doesn't lie in losing weight and that it could be in healing the relationship you have with your body? i know from experience that your happiness and opportunities do not come from dieting and exercising to the point where you achieve a 'dream body'. your physical appearance cannot and will not resolve the issues you have that are related to your mental or emotional wellbeing. this episode is all about breaking down those bad body image days, how to deal with them and how to be kind to yourself because you are enough just as you are. let's focus on shifting that negative and unproductive mindset rather than numbers on the scales this year. lotsa love as always xoxo

your body doesn't need fixing, your relationship with it does

EP66 - we are officially on the countdown to christmas which can mean different things for everyone. excitement, anxiety, nerves, apprehension, overwhelm, whatever you're feeling, it's valid. in this episode, i wanted to chat about my feelings towards the festive period and also address some of your questions and dilemmas about challenges you face during this time. whether you're fearful about food and indulging during this time, unsure on how to prioritise rest, worrying about particular family dynamics, dealing with grief or stressing about the concept of a fresh start in January, this episode will hopefully help you to navigate the festive period whether you celebrate or not. i know it can be an incredibly difficult time for some of us but please remind yourself that it is just a few days and you are allowed to make it exactly what you need and want it to be. sending lotsa love as always xoxo
