To take the healthy steps required for change, we need motivation.
And without the feel-good chemicals in our bodies, it makes it damn hard. I truly believe that happiness is central to growth and change in all areas, including finding and maintaining your balanced weight.
I mean... if we don't feel good, we don't want to feel our bodies well, we don't have the motivation to exercise and we don't have the grit to take those steps that we SO WANT TO TAKE.
Feeling sad, unmotivated and low unfortunatly can keep you stuck in your comfortable ways, and whilst it's SO normal and we all have our bad days, there are certainly ways they we can try to boost our bodies serotinin (feel good chemicals) to help us have more of the better ones.
So, this episode is for you if you're looking to boost your happiness in order to make these healthy changes easier.
If you're struggling at the moment, please know that you're not alone. I really hope this podcast helps you!
I also recap on my walk with some members from the Health with Bec Tribe and the power that came from it!

In this episode, I dive deep into a key issue that most conventional diets overlook, which often leads to failure in achieving long-term weight loss success. It's not just about losing weight—it's about keeping it off for good, and that's where most diets fall short, with 85-90% of dieters regaining their lost weight! Today, I explore why this happens and what you can do to avoid it.
What You'll Learn:
The Alarming Statistics of Diet Failure: I break down research showing that 80-95% of dieters regain the weight they’ve lost, often within just a few years. If you’ve lost weight in the past, only to gain it back, you’re not alone—and there’s a scientific reason behind it.
How Calorie Restriction Affects Your Metabolism: Long periods of calorie restriction can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to maintain weight loss. I explain the science behind metabolic adaptation and why your body fights to keep you from losing too much weight too quickly.
The Role of Hormones in Weight Loss: Learn how dieting can lead to a drop in your thyroid hormones (affecting metabolism), an increase in cortisol (stress hormone), and changes in hunger hormones (ghrelin and leptin) that make it harder to stay on track.
The Importance of Calorie Cycling: I introduce calorie cycling as a powerful strategy to prevent your metabolism from slowing down. I share how incorporating higher calorie “refeed” days can help regulate your metabolism, reduce hunger, and maintain long-term weight loss.
Why Strength Training and Protein Are Essential: Discover why eating a high-protein diet and incorporating strength training are critical to keeping your metabolism strong while losing weight.
If you’ve ever struggled with losing weight and keeping it off, this episode will help you understand the science behind why that happens and how you can beat the odds. I’ve developed my approach to cover all of these factors, and it’s worked for thousands of women worldwide. Tune in to learn how to make sustainable, long-term weight loss a reality for you too!

In today’s episode, I felt like I had to continue on with the theme of last weeks to help you even more. I'm diving into a topic that’s been incredibly important in my own life—deep reflection and how it can help you achieve your goals, whether it’s weight loss, fitness, or any other area. I’m sharing my personal journey and how constantly reflecting on my happiness and tweaking my approach has led me to overcome challenges in both my business and health journey. I hope my experiences will help you do the same!
What You'll Learn:
Final Thoughts: If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that consistent reflection and a willingness to try new things is essential to achieving big goals. Be kind to yourself, focus on your happiness, and remember—small steps add up over time. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right mindset and a reflective approach, anything is possible!

I'm back after taking a much needed break from the podcast!
But, I returned from my 3 week trip to Italy and London and felt quite different to how I'd normally feel after travelling...
Whilst I felt re-energised from visiting such amazing spots and doing the least amount of work I have EVER done on a holiday, I ended the trip feeling bloated, puffy and heavier. This made it harder for me to feel the same level of motivation that I had for exercise pre the trip. I've also found it so hard to get that creative spark back in me that I usually have (most weeks) for work.
In this episode, I share how and why my eating and drinking habits changed a little bit compared to my usual travels (where I've worked out my healthy balance pretty well & normally return feeling pretty good) and my thoughts on why it's been harder to feel creative for work.
I also offer tips, of course, throughout this podcast on:
I think I jump around quite a bit in this epiode because I just had so many thoughts to share, but I really hope that my reflection helps you see that I too am human and the occasional lows in your motivation is normal. I also hope that it encourages you to constanty reflect on WHY you're feeling and acting in certain ways, because without reflection, you can't figure out what changes you need to make in your life! Reaching your goals is ALWAYS about trying new things, failing, getting back up again and learning from past experiences.
