Emma is a full-time vet nurse with a hectic rota who spent years in the on-again, off-again cycle with food. In this episode we unpack how she created calm, sustainable physical changes without another strict plan - and how those habits carried her through pregnancy without guilt or all-or-nothing thinking.

What we cover:

• Why “fit your life to the plan” fails - and how Emma flipped it to “fit the plan to real life”
• The exact low-pressure habits she used: flexible meals, gentle movement (hello, walks), and nervous-system resets
• Releasing food guilt in pregnancy (even when only chips would stay down)
• How dropping perfectionism ends the binge–restrict loop and makes change stick
• Practical strategies for high-functioning mums: simple food structure, stress-aware choices, and celebrating small wins

If you keep telling yourself you just need to get organised, be more disciplined, or finally get your act together - this episode’s for you.

Because what if the problem isn’t motivation… it’s overload?

In this episode, I share the real reason you struggle to start, even when there’s a mountain of things waiting for you - and why your brain instantly goes into guilt mode when you can’t. We’ll unpack the difference between being lazy and being overloaded, what’s actually happening when your nervous system hits protection mode, and how to help your body reset so focus feels easy again.

You’ll walk away with one simple 3-minute “reset pause” you can use before doing something hard - to calm your brain, lower the pressure, and get things done without the chaos.

If your brain’s been running on fumes lately, this is the calm reset you’ve been looking for.

How many times have you told yourself on a Sunday night, “This week I’ll be good”? You make the plan, clear the cupboards, and start strong - but by Wednesday, it’s all fallen apart.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why that familiar Sunday reset might be the very thing keeping you stuck in burnout. We’ll talk about the dopamine hit of a fresh start, why rigid all-or-nothing plans collapse under stress, and how to build a calm, steady baseline that actually lasts through messy midweeks.

If you’re done with starting over every Monday, this one will help you create the kind of consistency that feels human - not hard.

You’ve eaten tea. The house is finally quiet. And then — you’re stood in the kitchen, staring at the fridge. You know you’re not hungry… but something in you needs something.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what your 9pm cravings are really about — and why they have very little to do with food. We’ll explore how holding it together all day leads to depletion, why your body turns to food as an off-switch, and what it’s actually craving instead.

If you’ve ever wondered why your evenings feel like the hardest part of the day, this one’s for you.

3pm hits and the cravings arrive - you tell yourself to push through till tea, but that one decision sets off two very different evenings.

In this episode, I share how my own “I don’t need a snack” mindset as a teacher led to hangry evenings, food noise, and zero patience by 5pm - and why the fix isn’t more discipline, it’s giving your mind and body what it needs when it needs it.

You’ll learn what’s really happening at 3pm, the two scenarios that follow - ignore it vs. honour it - and how a balanced, planned snack can steady your mood, reduce the 9pm fridge raid, and make tea feel like a normal meal again.

In this episode, my client Aimee shares what life was really like before The Happy Healthy Mum Programme: constant anxiety, running on empty, stuck in “go-mode,” and turning to food just to cope.

She talks about how lockdown left her overwhelmed while working in a hospital, and how her stress never seemed to switch off.

Aimee explains the turning points she reached in The Happy Healthy Mum Programme - learning how to reset her stress response, quiet the food noise, and finally feel steady in her routines - so she could stop surviving and start living again.
