Does "I wish I was skinny. I HATE how my body looks" sound familiar?

Wanting to be skinny is something Lyndi & Natalia know too well. 

We live in a world that tells us the most impressive thing a woman can be is thin. It's no wonder we are constantly trying to lose weight. But this isn't actually helping us be healthier, more confident or happier. 

When you wake up and hate how you look, your knee-jerk reaction might be to go on a diet or cancel plans. But neither of these things helps in the long term.

So how do you navigate these bad body image days? Let's unpack what to do when your body image and self-esteem spiral in 8 simple steps.

Ever found yourself reaching for a few squares of chocolate, only to feel a wave of guilt as the last square disappears? You're not alone. 

In this episode, we unpack the science and psychology behind out-of-control chocolate eating habits. And most importantly, how we can navigate around the "I have to finish all of this now" thinking trap.  

It's not just about saying no or yes to chocolate. It's about understanding WHY we crave it and HOW we can enjoy it mindfully. All while learning to appreciate the pure pleasure of eating the chocolate you actually like, without substituting it with less fulfilling options. Cause let's be real, those sugar-free or 95% dark chocolate varieties just ain't it.  

You too can become one of those people who have a few squares of chocolate and feel satisfied enough not to eat the entire block. So, press play and find out how 🍫

Ever wondered why you can't stop eating at night? 

Can you relate to the feeling of late-evening pantry raids after a not-so-peachy day. You might eat a biscuit, then five minutes later a slice of cheese. Followed by a handful of grapes… and half a Mars bar. Then go back to the biscuits for (probably) 6 more. 

…Trying to fill that hole, that gap, that needed to be fed. 

If you are nodding along, thinking, "Mmm-Hmm, this is me," just know you're not alone. I’ve been there, done that, plenty of times myself. 

Together, we'll uncover WHY those (unhelpful) daytime diets might set us up for evening binges and HOW a shift towards balanced, intentional eating to build healthier habits to kick emotional eating to the curb.

Say hello to a world where complex carbs, proteins, healthy fats, and fiber are your BFFs in the fight against the late-night munchies, and where you can FINALLY feel in control around food.

The second half of today's chat we peel back the layers of emotional eating - with experiences from my own journey. If you've ever found solace in a cookie (or half the packet..) we're going to break down those patterns and learn how to find comfort beyond the pantry and let go of the food-guilt (HOORAY!)

"You're constantly striving for more, you want to be thinner, you want to look better. And it's just like this toxic path that never really ends and it never gets you anywhere. I should have asked for help..."

On this week's episode I am joined by real story guest Natalia Szala. And this week's is a bit of a special one, as Nat is also my colleague and friend. 

When we get together to film we'll often hash back to all of our previous dieting years, sometimes having those "holy moly, you did that too!" moments together. 

And today we are sharing these all with you too! 

Diving into our own battles with food, from the sneaky (and deceptive!) comfort of solo binge-eating sessions. To the quiet struggles so often hidden behind social media's "flawless" bodies.

We're peeling back the layers to let you know you'e not alone.

Nat and I dig into the whole external validation thing... Where what's oh-so often praised as 'discipline' can actually be reinforcing harmful habits.

And we shed light on the necessity of confronting the roots of disordered eating. So you can live a life without obsessing over food!

Listen up, as this week's episode we dive head-first into the murky waters of diet culture, starting with my own story involving a Hens party, an Italian restaurant and my low-carb misadventures. Not a match-made-in-heaven you could say! 

Let me take you on a journey through the ups and downs of my diet obsession and how I found my way to intuitive eating. A liberating approach where I've learned to listen to my body's natural hunger cues. WITHOUT the guilt.

I'll reveal the pesky side effects of cutting carbs . Which may shock you! By the end of our chat, you'll see carbohydrates in a whole new light – as your body's best bud and preferred energy source. NOT the bad guy!
