The power of 'letting go' - How long do you hold onto things? And in doing so, how is it holding you back? Powerful questions right?! One of the most impactful things I've been doing this year when it comes to self-development is practicing 'letting go' and today I wish to share this perspective and practice with you ✨
In this episode you will learn,

• why we get stuck comparing ourselves to past versions of ourselves (for example...our body)
• the power of 'letting go'
• why holding onto things limit our potential and us taking action
• why embracing grief and forgiveness is key to letting go
• how letting go open us up to feel peace with who we are
• two practices that you can implement TODAY to help you let go of what's holding you back
• a little exercise for you to action before then end of this year!

As always, I am so grateful for you listening to the wisdom I am here to share ✨

"I have a love-hate relationship with food and struggle with emotional eating"...does this sound like you? In this episode I start to unpack how tuning into your hunger cues can help you bring awareness to and unravel your relationship with food.

• reasons why you may emotionally eat
• why the foods you choose can influence how 'satisfied' you feel after a meal
• what is the 'hunger and fullness' scale? and how to practice with it
• how to tune into what 'hunger' and 'fullness' feel like for you - and why it's not about aiming for 'perfection'
• how tuning into your hunger cues can help you understand your relationship with food
• why skipping meals actually backfires when trying to find your happy weight
• and so much more!

Welcome to the first episode of 'Explant Chats', a side series where I invite women to bravely share their own unique breast implant illness (BII) + explant journey with you. Hearing women share their stories is so powerful, and if it wasn't for the women before me who bravely shared their journey, I wouldn't be where I am today. From these 'Explant Chats' episodes I hope to continue to raise awareness of BII and to even help you on your own BII journey, no matter where you're at 💕
Meet Jade Drew, a loving mum, a passionate life + fitness coach for women, an entrepreneur and a dear friend of mine - whom trusted me to guide her on her BII journey. Jade openly shares her story and we dive deep into life pre and post explant and the emotional waves that the BII journey can bring. She even shares her deep fears she had and all the questions she asked herself along the way. From denial, self-love and self-worth, we talk about it all!
In this episode we cover...

• What were your reasons for getting implants?
• What you wish someone said to you before getting implants?
• What were the initial symptoms when you started to feel unwell?
• How did you feel when you first learned about breast implant illness? What emotions and thoughts showed up?
• Let's talk about DENIAL!?
• The reality of day to day living with breast implant illness
• The process of unpacking 'self-worth', breaking through limiting beliefs and 'authenticity'
• How implants can become part of your 'identity'
• Knowing when it's the 'right' time for surgery
• What did you do to prepare for explant surgery?
• How did you communicate your BII + explant journey to your kids?
• Recovery and life after explant
• and so much more!

Jade, I celebrate you and thank you for sharing so vulnerably - to help bring awareness to BII ✨
