Can yoga help us navigate the emotional and physical changes of menopause? Niamh Daly joins me to explore how yoga, when adapted to our changing bodies, can support nervous system regulation, pelvic floor health, and emotional well-being during midlife.

We cover the importance of personalized movement, challenging the idea of yoga as a cure-all while highlighting its deeper benefits beyond the mat. Instead of focusing on self-improvement, we explore how yoga can be a path to joy, balance, and fulfillment in midlife.

Tune in for a fresh perspective on movement, menopause, and embracing wellness with authenticity.

After years of practicing traditional dietetics, Pia and I found ourselves on a liberating journey—stepping away from diet culture and embracing a weight-neutral, intuitive eating approach. In this episode, we share our experiences, from joyful food-filled retreats in Italy to the challenges of being non-diet dietitians in a weight-obsessed world.

What if health wasn’t measured by the scale? We unpack common misconceptions about weight and wellness, highlighting biases in healthcare and the importance of focusing on behaviors over BMI. We explore what it means to truly accept and care for our bodies through personal stories—like the humbling changes of menopause and the surprising freedom of midlife.

Join us for a compassionate conversation about redefining health, unlearning diet culture, and making space for joy at every stage of life.

Have you ever found an old piece of clothing, slipped it on, and felt a wave of sadness when it no longer fit? That’s body grief—the longing for a past version of yourself and the struggle to accept where you are now. In this episode, I sit down with Body Peace coach Nina Manolson to unpack why these moments hit so hard and how to navigate them with more kindness and less self-judgment.

We dive into the emotional weight of body changes, why comparison keeps us stuck, and how shifting from body shame to body peace is a practice—not a destination. Nina shares powerful insights (and a beautiful poem) to help you stop fighting your body and start feeling at home in it, no matter your size or stage of life. If you’ve ever wrestled with body image in midlife, this conversation is for you.

What happens when motherhood and perimenopause collide? In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and doula, and author of Mothershift, Jessie Harrold, to talk about the big identity shifts that come with these life stages. We unpack the messy emotions, the self-doubt, and the cultural pressures that make change feel so hard—and why it’s also a chance to rediscover who we are.

Jessie and I explore how small moments of curiosity can spark creativity and self-trust, even in the chaos. Whether it’s a quiet walk or just taking a deep breath, these simple shifts can help us embrace change instead of fighting it. Join us for an honest, dare I say even poetic conversation about navigating grief and discovering the upgraded versions of ourselves in midlife!

I'm celebrating a huge personal milestone—10 years of embracing intuitive eating and un-dieting—and I’d love for you to join me as I look back on my journey.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really been like to navigate the ups and downs of perimenopause while also unlearning the harmful messages of diet culture. I'll explain why intuitive eating is more than just another set of rules. It’s a mindset shift that can free you from the exhausting cycle of diets and body shame (but one that takes practice and lots of self-compassion!)

I’ll also share what I’ve learned about body neutrality—what it means to feel good in your body without the pressure to love every part of it, and why the messy middle of intuitive eating (the “screw it” phase) can actually be a valuable part of healing.

Whether you're just starting to rethink your relationship with food or feel stuck in the messy middle, I hope my story offers encouragement and solidarity.
