Do you ever feel stuck? You set good intentions at the start of the week/month/year on how to get fitter, eat better, tackle your hormones or bloating...but nothing changes.
I speak to women all the time who are thinking of working with me in my one to one nutrition practice and the common theme is that they're stuck and they have been for a while. Some women I speak to have struggled with heavy painful periods for 25 YEARS! Or have been bloated daily since they can remember. Why? Because they are paralysed, feeling hopeless, have no idea how to begin and trapped by their own thoughts.
So this week we have the wonderful Jane who is an Unstuck Coachjoining us and we are going to unpack how you get can get out of your own way and see some awesome progress in all areas of your life. We talk about:
- how Jane got unstuck after 25 years
- my own journey with anxiety and disordered eating and the strategies I've used.
- Jane's KICSTART method to which it SO incredibly helpful
- how to bring about LASTING change in your health and eating habits
- and the fact that you are not your thoughts- perhaps the most favourite topic of our interview.
So make sure you subscribe to my podcast, click above to listen and be in touch via the comments below or message me via Facebookor Instagram! I genuinely love to hear from you and am happy to answer your questions.

This episode on the Gut Goddess Show is a little different.
It's more of a rallying cry. A prompting from my spirit. And a message women DESPERATELY need to hear.
I know in chatting with hundreds of women about there health that one of the biggest obstacles to them seeing the changes and results in their bodies is the inability to put their needs first. They wrap it up in 'serving' or being 'selfless' but really it comes down to fear and low self-worth.
The will pay for there kids ballet classes but not invest in there own health. They will agree to expensive car payments to keep there partner happy. They feel bad about the thought of buying organic butter or milk, or paying for a massage or to see a nutritionist like me. Its an epidemic and it is stopping hundreds of women living there best and fullest and most healthy lives.
And I know the rap oh so well. Years of service and giving taught me to put myself last and I paid the consequences with my health. And I don't want that for you. So in this episode, we talk about
- What I mean by being selfish
- The ripple effect and how it has transformed entire families and communities
- How years of community work and charity work left me happy in my soul but sick in my body
- Why you love and serve people the BEST when you're well
- And how to overcome this crippling mindset when it comes to your health.
- How you can embrace the #selfishisthenewselfess motto
Its a hot and controversial topic that will get you thinking! And I would love to know what you think as its a bit of vulnerable episode for me. So either leave a comment below or message me over at Instagram or Facebook.

- how her 'healthy' diet didn't clear her skin
- why eating more vegetables didn't seem to clear up her skin
- wasting lots of money on every supplement under the sun and them not making a difference
- what happened when she started to increase her fat intake
- discovering a key connection with an everyday toxic chemical (often found in your water!)
- the importance of emotional health in her clearing up your skin
- 3 tips for you to clear up your own skin!!
