About this listen
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
