Hello Reader, I hope you are having a spectacular Friday. Marvelous, wonderous, everything and more! A very (unusually) quick one from me. We cannot control the beauty standards. We can't control how the media picks women's bodies apart limb from limb. Too tall, too small, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, trying too hard, not trying hard enough. And it is maddening. I'm not here as a societal messaging apologist... It is deranged...You're right. But. And it's a big but. We can't stop...

Hello Reader, Happiest of Fridays, mes cherubs! I hope you have a spectacular weekend lined up. Let's talk about sweat, baby, let's talk about you and me. Unless you're not sweaty, we can discuss my sweat instead if you'd like... An accurate representation of me writing this email It is hotter than hell at the moment. As a species, you can't argue that we're really quite good at warming planets up; you can't take away our trophy for that little title. The UK, Canada, the US, and many other...

Hello Reader, Happy Friday mon petit pois. I hope your week has been...fine! In client calls this week I think it's been kind of grueling. The vibe at the minute is hard game on hard mode. So to curb some of that, let's make sure you're not playing a hard game on hard mode whilst hangry. Remember you can write in to get my help on whatever food, body image, habit change stuff you're struggling with at the moment by submitting a question to the podcast: Ask Me Anything On with the email......

Hello Reader, Happy Friday, mon petit pois! I hope you are well. I hope you are fantastic. I hope this week has been magical, and if not, at least it's over. (Any sentence starting with 'at least' is a surefire way to know when someone lacks the proper skills to communicate their empathy. Anywhooo...) On with the email... I'm having a crisis of confidence, and how I'm fixing it ⬇️ I talk a lot about confidence, especially body confidence, concerning body image. God, I would move mountains for...

Hello Reader, My darling Reader, I hope you are having a spectacular Friday. I've been in a funk the last few weeks, why you ask? Not sure. As soon as I have something insightful to share about it. I will. But for now, if you feel like everyone on social media is shiny and perfect and your life is the only one that isn't, it's not true, because I'm with you 😉 On with the email... Body Image is probably* going to grow in popularity, and why that's a bad thing. Now, this might suprise you as...

Hello Reader, Happy Friday, dearest reader, happy May! God, the year is flying, I say that every year, and every year I mean it more and more. A few certainties in life: death, taxes, saying 'Wow, this year is flying,' and finding a new rogue black body hair. Anyway, on with the email- I want stuff that works, not the thing that I should 'want', not the shiny thing. Give me efficacy all day long. Part of how I ended up going down the research rabbit hole of body image, behaviour change, and...

Hello Reader, Happy Friday to you, dearest angel face! It was my birthday last week! Woohoo! And I always seem to do a bit of reflection around my birthday. I wrote a whole post about it here if you're curious if I kept my promises to myself in the last year to do just a little bit better. And as we're a quarter of the way through 2025, I thought maybe you'd like to reflect a bit too. "Modern man thinks he loses something - time - when he does not do things quickly. Yet he does not know what...

Hello Reader, Happy holiday weekend! Or Good Friday, or Easter weekend if you're into that kind of thing! Easter chocolates, the bane of your existence? There will be lots of tasty treats around this weekend, oftentimes you won't have any 'control' over what is available, and that feels stressful. You might even feel as if you start having chocolate, you won't be able to stop eating it. The 'problem' here isn't the chocolate, or cake, or sweets, or hot cross buns, or crisps, etc. Chocolate is...

Hello Reader, Happiest of happy, springy Fridays to you! I hope you are very well. The sun is out, which means many of us feel a bit more self-conscious wearing fewer clothes. While also feeling the dread of seasonal mood disorders shift after a long, old 5 months of darkness. Talk about taking the rough with the smooth. We are currently under siege with messaging like "Get shredded for summer", "If you start now, you can have your dream body in time for the beach", blah, blah, blah. I don't...
