#103 What You’re Really Losing to Diet Culture (It’s Not Weight!) with Niamh Orbinski
If you've ever struggled with your relationship with food or your body, this episode is a must-listen!
This week, our guest is Niamh Orbinski, a nutritionist, yoga teacher, and psychotherapist, who explores the intricate relationship between food, body image, and personal success.
“ It's really important to hear that there is hope for a healthier relationship with food and with your body. When you work on this it can really open up so many more doors for transformation in your life because if you're anchored in your sense of self, then everything in your life can shift.”
– Niamh Orbinski
We challenge the notion that equates body size with health and explore the transformative journey from body hatred to self-acceptance and love. Discover how practices like yoga can foster a compassionate relationship with your body, providing a broader understanding of body image and wellness. This heartfelt conversation explores the emotional struggles faced by those who feel their bodies are "wrong" and seeks to empower listeners to develop a healthier self-perception.
Discover how societal pressures, particularly on women, influence our self-image and the importance of body respect and acceptance.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
• The impact of diet culture on our relationship with food and body image.• The difference between discomfort and pain in physical activity.• The concept of intuitive eating and how to reconnect with your body's natural cues.• Practical steps to cultivate body respect and acceptance.• The importance of listening to your inner voice and trusting yourself.
Niamh shares valuable insights on how to navigate the complexities of body image in a society that often prioritizes appearance over well-being.
This is episode 2 of our three part series that’s all about enshrining your health & wellbeing into your success journey. This is the “how we eat” episode because that’s the fuel that gives us the energy for our success.

#102 Why Women Struggle with Authenticity at Work & How To Change It with Sara Slattery
Meet Sara Slattery, a coach who’s dedicated to helping you do life and business your way.
This conversation is a call to action, urging us all to regularly re-evaluate our goals and definitions of success as we navigate life's ever-changing landscape. It's a reminder to adapt and set boundaries to protect our well-being.
“It's not safe for you to fight back in the boardroom or in the meeting. It may not be safe for you to leave because you might be punished. But it might be safe for you to agree with what everybody's saying and go along with it and that will keep your job safe and potentially line up a promotion.” – Sara Slattery
And let's not forget the powerful exploration of personal fulfillment, especially for women juggling myriad responsibilities. We dive into the importance of giving ourselves permission to want more and dream bigger, amidst societal expectations. Coaching emerges as a beacon of hope, guiding us to prioritize our authentic desires. We discuss how aligning work tasks with natural rhythms can foster healthier habits and challenge outdated norms. This episode is an invitation to rethink work environments, fostering spaces where authenticity and joy are not just welcome but essential.

Discover the concept of "fawning" and how it impacts authenticity in the workplace.
The real meaning of burnout and how to recognize its subtle signs.
Strategies for redefining success and setting personal boundaries to protect well-being.
The importance of personal fulfillment and the role of coaching in achieving it.
Understand the significance of aligning work tasks with natural rhythms for better well-being.

Consider alternative work structures that honour individual and environmental needs.
This is episode 1 of our three part series that’s all about enshrining your health & wellbeing into your success journey. This is the “how we work” episode because there's always more than one way to do our work and we don't often realise that the way can be joyful.
