I’m Done! Now What?

Have your clothes started feeling a little tighter as you’ve got older, even though you don’t feel like you’re doing anything particularly different?

Maybe you’ve tried to eat better, exercise more or “get back on track”, but the results don’t seem to come as easily as they once did.

And it can leave you wondering… what has actually changed?

Because getting older doesn’t mean you have to accept feeling uncomfortable in your clothes or constantly trying to lose weight.

In this episode, I’m talking about 3 areas that could be playing a role — your training, your nutrition and your mindset.

We’ll look at some of the things that can change after 40, the habits that can creep in over the years, and why the way you approach getting fit and healthy may need to change too.

If you feel like what used to work just isn’t working anymore, this episode is for you.

Do you find yourself thinking about food morning, noon and night, believing that if you can just get your food right, it will finally help you get fit and healthy?

But no matter how much you think about it, plan it, restrict it or try to get it “right”, you always seem to end up back at square one.

I hear you. This was me for years.

In this episode, I’m talking about why putting so much time and energy into thinking about food might actually be keeping you stuck — and what you can start focusing on instead.

Feel like you’re failing?

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by psychotherapist and Director of Mind and Body Works Trisha MacHale  to talk about what happens when you decide you’ve had enough and you want to make a change — whether that’s getting fit and strong, giving up alcohol or cutting back on sugary foods.

What happens when you’re struggling your way to success? How do you detach your self-worth from whether you’re succeeding or failing? And what can you do to stop feeling so bad when things aren’t going the way you hoped?

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by psychotherapist Triaha MacHale to talk about neurodiversity in women.

We chat about why so many women are only discovering they’re neurodivergent in adulthood, why it has historically been missed or misunderstood, and some of the signs that might be more than simply being busy, stressed or overwhelmed.

We also talk about masking — what it is, what it can look like in everyday life, and how women can become so used to masking that they don’t even realise they’re doing it.

A really interesting conversation for anyone who has ever wondered, “Why do I find some things so much harder than everyone else seems to?”
