This week's episode is with the lovely Nicola Moore who is a nutritionist and well-being expert she's also been a part of the senior academic team at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition which is probably one of the best schools of its kind in the UK if not in Europe. As you know if you've listened to the podcast, I am fascinated by how what we eat makes us feel. In this episode Nicola and I chat about: What we as busy, tired, often overwhelmed mum's can do to help ourselves in terms of what we’re putting into our bodies. We discuss tips and tools to make it really practical and really easy to take care of ourselves, Nichola also debunks for us many of the diet myths and trends at the moment.

It's often said in self development our habits underpin our whole lives and if we can change our habits we can change our lives. Shahroo says that the way to change these habits Shahroo is to be kinder to ourselves which for some of us is quite radical. I’m a huge fan of self-compassion and self kindness so I loved this conversation with Shahroo and I hope you will too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
