  • 101 - All about body image and motherhood with Revie Jane
    2024/11/13

    Becoming a mother brings incredible joy and love, but it also introduces new challenges – especially when it comes to how we feel about our bodies. Body image can feel like an overwhelming part of the motherhood journey - not just observing changes within ourselves, but also being mindful of the messages we are passing on to our kids. On today's episode we are joined by Revie Jane, whose candid insights are refreshing and relatable, and her advice will resonate with anyone looking to prioritise self-acceptance and redefine their relationship with their body.

    Revie Jane is a mother, entrepreneur and lifestyle influencer, put here on earth to create good from her story, inspire women the world over, and sprinkle joy wherever she goes. Today, Revie is loved on the internet and in the real world. But her story started long before her Instagram Stories. On a mission to ‘work on worthiness out loud’, Revie’s been generous about her difficult childhood and mental health struggles, helping thousands of women who’ve also faced adversity, sexual abuse and poverty, through speaking events and daily content.

    In today’s episode we chat about…

    • Revie’s personal journey with body image and how her perception has evolved over time, especially since becoming a mother
    • The influence of social media on body image and how Revie manages it within the Instagram world
    • Practical, gentle steps for new mums to reintroduce exercise into their busy routines
    • Approaching postpartum fitness in a realistic, body-kind way that’s free from “bounce-back” pressure
    • How Revie intentionally talks to her daughters about body image, and what she hopes to instill in them
    • Key ways parents can foster a positive body image in their children amidst societal pressures
    • Encouragement and advice for mums struggling with body image who feel unsure about how to start shifting their mindset
    • ... and so much more

    2024/10/15

    Feeling like your sex life has gone the way of uninterrupted sleep? You’re not alone! In this episode of Boob to Food the podcast Melody Thomas, creator of The Good Sex Project, explores how to reignite intimacy after kids—and why it’s okay if things are a little… different these days.

    Melody Thomas is a New Zealand-based podcast creator, writer, and co-founder of Popsock Media. She is best known for hosting The Good Sex Project, a podcast that explores candid conversations around sex and relationships, released through Stuff in 2023.

Melody’s work extends beyond podcasting—she's a writer and columnist for publications like Capital and Sunday magazines, and she’s currently working on her first book.

    In this podcast we discuss

    • Why it seems like men are always ready to have sex, but women take longer to be interested
    • Whether how often you have sex is important (and what is actually normal!)
    • The importance of non-sexual intimacy and what that might look like
    • Practical tips for getting in the mood, or should we just be having sex even if it feels like a chore

    2024/10/08

    In this deeply moving episode of Boob to Food The Podcast, we were fortunate enough to explore one of the most heart-wrenching experiences a parent can face—the loss of a child with the incredible Gina Chick. Through her own powerful story and her work with others, Gina offers such compassionate and open-hearted wisdom on the complexities of grief, healing, and how to navigate life after such profound loss.

    Gina Chick is a rewilding facilitator, adventurer, writer, and speaker with a deep passion for the natural world. She gained national recognition as the winner of the first season of Alone Australia. Gina has also just released her first book "We are the stars" which explores and celebrates the raw authenticity, vulnerability, and connection to nature that resonated with millions. Gina’s unique ability to make people watch, feel, and think through her journey is at the heart of this book, offering readers a profound exploration of the human spirit, resilience, and our place in the natural world.

    Gina has an incredible ability to talk about the unimaginable with grace, openness, and a touch of hope.

    In this podcast we discuss

    • How Gina became a mother to her daughter Blaise and how she came to pass
    • Some of the immediate emotions felt in the aftermath of Blaise's death and how her grief evolved over time
    • The role of support throughout the process and things that were helpful and unhelpful
    • The most poetic explanation of grief and the gifts that our children provide us
    • How to respond to the expectation that you should "move on" after grieving
    • The role of faith, rituals and honouring the life of Blaise day to day
    • and so much more...

    Whether you're a parent, a loved one of someone who’s lost a child, or simply interested in understanding more about this difficult topic, this episode is for you. Gina's wisdom and vulnerability provide a safe place to explore the deep pain of loss while also finding a path toward healing.

  • 94 - Soothing the skin - eczema insights with nutritionist & naturopath Ash Yates
    2024/10/01

    October is Eczema Awareness Month, so we’re bringing in nutritionist and naturopath Ash Yates from the Boob to Food clinic to help you navigate the minefield that is managing childhood eczema. From identifying triggers to finding relief through holistic care, Ash shares her wisdom on what’s really going on with your little one's skin. Whether you're dealing with flare-ups, itching, or just looking for a deeper understanding, this episode is for you.

    Having always had an interest in health, Ash first began her university studies in nutrition and dietetics. Partway through her dietetics degree a personal experience with natural therapies completely shifted everything she thought she knew about disease and healing, so she switched paths to study naturopathy. Ash has a particular interest in tricky things, stemming from her own early experiences as a mum to a son with kidney disease. She specialises in children with autoimmunity and chronic diseases, failure to thrive, allergies and intolerances, ongoing gastrointestinal issues, and common conditions that seem resistant to treatment, like eczema that just won't resolve...

    In this podcast we discuss

    • What is eczema and how common it is
    • Some of the potential root causes from a naturopathic perspective
    • The role that genetics and immune function play in the development of eczema
    • Foods, supplements and strategies that go beyond diet
    • Practical tips for parents dealing with eczema on a daily basis and when to seek professional help
    • The importance of skincare and whether steroid creams are helpful
    • and so much more...

    If you would like to dive deeper into eczema you may like to check our our MASTERCLASS or book a 1:1 consult with one of our highly experienced nutritionists and naturopaths in our ONLINE CLINIC
