I remember what that feeling was like. It scares us doesn't it? You wonder how you’re going to make it to 40, let alone 50. It feels like the world has played a cruel joke on you. Those thoughts always whirling around in your head, that tight, nervous feeling in your chest and tummy, they make you believe that you’re flawed. You believe that there is something inherently wrong with you.

But there isn’t

For so long, I saw food as the enemy—something to control, measure, and restrict. But food isn’t just fuel; it’s nourishment for both body and mind.

Instead of obsessing over calories, I started thinking about how food made me feel. What gave me energy? What helped my digestion? What supported my mood?

If you’ve spent years trying different diets, chasing a number on the scale, and feeling like nothing ever truly works, this post is for you.

Struggling with self-doubt? This blog post explores the power of self-worth, how it shapes your confidence and success, and practical steps to build it daily. Learn how to break free from limiting beliefs and step into your true potential.

When my anxiety started in 1995 the word wasn’t even applied to what I was feeling, even by the doctor. In fact I remember him referring to it as ‘another funny turn’.

On the outside it appeared I was living a very normal life and doing what someone very normal did, but on the inside I felt everything was rapidly closing in on me.

How many times have you told yourself you’re useless or not capable? Or that the reason things didn’t go to plan is because you’re not good enough?

The number one self-care habit that makes a positive difference to your life is being kind to yourself, yet it’s the thing we do the least! Here’s how to become your biggest fan by learning how to support yourself with self-compassion so you can finally feel happy and achieve the success you’re striving for.

There is no quick fix to putting a new habit in place, nor is there an easy route to follow. A habit will always take willpower, commitment and consistency. But, when fear sets in about your ability to make the change happen, you fill your head with negativity which quickly spreads and takes hold, making you believe you’re not capable or worthy of doing it. So you don’t even get off the starting block. You tell yourself it’s ok, you are fine to stay put, forget the change and building any new habits.

How many times have you been going on a diet, or started your diet on a Monday, only to fall off it by the time Friday comes along?

Diet culture is a huge issue in our society with so many women falling prey to the never-ending quest to conform with their size and shape. But the reason the diet industry is so big and profitable is because it’s designed to make this continuous cycle of yo-yo dieting one that you believe is the only way to find your worth and happiness.

I want to help women and girls understand what I diet really is, and share why it’s something you actually will have for your whole life, not only a few days or weeks at a time when you have the willpower to force yourself to stay on one.

So many women are living at such a fast pace, carrying the burden of the majority of their family responsibility alongside their work. They need to be stronger and healthier to be able to perform at their best, and also to live the happy life they desire.

But, they tell themselves they aren’t worth taking care of, that this is their role, they have to just ride it out. They believe they matter the least in their very long list of things to do and take care of.

When you realise why you matter, why you are so very worth taking care of, you will have greater self-esteem, self-belief, and self-love. All of these things have such a big impact on your overall health and happiness.

When you feel happier you will help those around you to also live happier.
