Ah Time. Becoming a mum doesn’t make exercise easier—it makes it harder. In this episode, a follow on from last week, I get real about why finding time to move your body feels so tough in motherhood, and why waiting for life to “calm down” just doesn’t work. This is your gentle (but honest) reminder that prioritising yourself is not selfish, it’s essential. Think of it as a little kick up the bum to help you carve out time for exercise, reclaim your energy, and feel more like you again.

Have you ever walked into the weights section of the gym… taken one look around… and then quietly backed away? You’re not alone. So many women tell me they want to start strength training, but it feels confusing, intimidating, and just plain hard to get going. Today, I’m breaking down the real reasons why strength training feels like such a mountain at the start – and how you can take simple, doable steps to make it work for you.

In this episode I’m talking about when to get help – something I see all the time in new parents, and anyone navigating changes in their body or wellbeing. I share the signs to watch for, why reaching out early is a strength, and simple steps you can take to get the support you need.

In this episode I give a timely reminder about throwing out your scales after an innocent comment from my youngest son Ray recently and the importance of keeping the focus on your daily actions NOT your results.

A caller question on just how we guide our children on what to say when they do not like something! This speaks to the wider topic of food and food behaviour boundaries which only just keep coming (hello nearly teenage years now!)

Sigh. Another media click bait post. More comments that only contribute to the broken system. Recently Radio New Zealand shared a post on a working mum partitioning to the government about the need for longer school holidays. The comments broke my heart. So along with some fire in my belly from reading 'A Different Kind of Power' I use this platform to say all what I would want to about those comments and a system where the math just doesn't math.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the fear so many of us carry around food — fear of getting it wrong, fear of eating “too much,” fear of not counting or tracking everything perfectly.

Let’s talk about where this comes from, how it shows up in everyday life, and how we can start letting go of food fear for good.

Are you taking all the actions and feeling like you are getting no where? In fact possibly worse? That the weight is piling on despite everything? You are not alone and this episode is for you right when you need it the most.
