070: Dismantling Fatphobia vs. Body Acceptance
Is it irrelevant to work on accepting or even loving our bodies when there are potentially more important things to worry about; like erasing systemic fatphobia? Should we fix that first and then body love will be easier when society adjusts? Let's talk about that in this week's episode!

069: Food Addiction and Binge Eating Disorder
Binge Eating Disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder in adults, yet hardly anyone talks about it. So many people who live with it believe they are just addicted to food and a good old diet will fix their perceived out-of-control relationship around "bad" food. I talk about my own experience with this eating disorder and how I shifted my beliefs around it to get to a place where I was thankful I had it in my life at the time I needed it. Trigger warning: I will be talking about eating disorders in this episode, food quantities, spousal abuse through food deprivation and also a brief mention of child sexual assault so skip if that’s not feeling ok for you today.

068: 11 Ways You Don’t Realise That You Still Have Diet Culture in Your Life
I've stopped dieting and therefore I am free from the grips of diet culture! Right? Umm..maybe not. Diet culture is this tricky, sticky beast that has its tentacles in so many areas of our life and chances are you still have diet culture lurking in your thinking and ways of behaving.

067: When You Think Everyone Hates You
Has a friend been a little distant or perhaps you haven't heard from someone in a while? What does it mean? Well, that everyone hates you...of course! (sarcasm alert). Why is it that we make up stories about how others perceive us in our heads and think that we have f*cked up in some way when the reality is probably something completely different? In this episode, I share how in my irrational brain I think certain people hate me and explore the feelings of those who I am jealous of.

"New year, new you!" Chances are you've been hearing this phrase a lot of the last few weeks. There's loads of diet adverts around and it can be tempting to consider trying one last new magical program that will finally make you thin. But if there is a little voice that is telling you that this year is going to be different for you then tune into this episode where I am giving some resolution suggestions that will actually make you feel like a goddamn badass and not a massive failure when the magical diet doesn't work (P.S. you're not a failure, diets are).

061: How To Deal With Dieting Friends
I got a question which I am sure a lot of you can resonate with; how do I deal with friends who talk about their diets all the time? The reasons why we may not want to hear diet talk are many. Perhaps you’re recovering from an eating disorder or chronic dieting. Perhaps you’re working on accepting your fat body and knowing others want to shrink theirs is hurtful. Perhaps you just find it really boring and wanna ZZZZZZZ the hell outta there? Whatever the reasons then I’m gonna help you in this episode.
