    2025/07/23
    If you think cancer would be the thing that slows me down… You don’t know me very well.

You’ll hear: How I still managed to go to the gym the morning of my first chemo session The EXACT structure of my day (yep, even now) How I pull myself out of the hole when I’m spiralling The habits that keep me grounded and pushing each day Everything I had in place BEFORE being diagnosed that has helped me stay so positive Why surviving isn’t enough for me… I want to thrive … and SO much more I also want to hear from you.

  • Healthy Snack Options for Kids That Are CHEAPER and EASIER Than Ultra-Processed Crap

    Healthy Snack Options for Kids That Are CHEAPER and EASIER Than Ultra-Processed Crap
    2025/07/16
    I saw a post on IG the other day… a dietician recommending ultraprocessed foods for children. Guys, I’ve said this before and I’m going to keep saying it. This… is not good enough. This isn’t just about a fish finger and a piece of white bread. It’s about the messaging we’re giving parents. That’s ‘its good enough.’ But if we want our kids to thrive and not just survive… we have to do better. So today I’m showing you how. I’m breaking down the exact snacks I feed my kids that are not only CHEAPER and HEALTHIER but also keep them full for longer. Which means you won’t be reaching for a second snack 10 minutes after handing them a Le Snack. Not only is this better for your wallets BUT it also nourishes their bodies, supports their brains, skin, heart eyes… And gives them the energy to be kids. If you’re stuck for ideas, I have a whole e-book dedicated to kids lunches which you can find here. You’ll hear: Cheaper and healthier alternatives to Up & Gos, Tiny Teddies and Rice Wheels How we’ve been tricked into thinking ‘snack food’ needs marketing Why your kids are constantly hungry after snack time The exact food in my kid’s lunchboxes this week How I’m managing to prep for 4 kids meals all while having chemotherapy … and SO much more If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app Fit By The Figure or sign up for coaching.

So today’s episode is a much needed, much overdue catch up with my husband Chris Duncan to chat about everything that’s happened since We’re chatting about all the stupidest stuff people say to you after you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, the crazy lack of empathy some doctors have shown me, and how this has impacted our relationship - all while providing you with some banter to get you through the day.

  • What I’ve Changed Since Being Diagnosed with Bowel Cancer

    What I’ve Changed Since Being Diagnosed with Bowel Cancer
    2025/07/02
    If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll do it when things calm down”... please, listen to this first. When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May - I was shocked to say the least. I’m one of the healthiest people I know. I train. I eat clean. I don’t smoke. I don’t binge drink. I make my own bloody sourdough. I spoke about it on Instagram and since then, my social media has blown up. I’ve been on the news, interviewed by BIG companies, and answering thousands of questions from women asking what they need to change. So today we’re diving into exactly that: everything I’ve changed and everything I’ve kept the same since being diagnosed with cancer. You’ll hear: What I feed my kids and what I refuse to let them eat The years of “damage” I didn’t realise I was doing in my twenties Why your stress might be worse than your sugar The part of my lifestyle that shocked my doctor What health means to me now + what I think people are STILL getting wrong And the new rules I’m living by… even if they make people uncomfortable Download my recipe books: Baby and Toddler recipe book here. Lunch Box recipe e-book here. Make sure you use LIFEPOD at checkout for an exclusive 15% off. And if you need a laugh after this episode, listen to Chris (my husband) and my Sort Your Sh*t Out series here 💛 We all know how tiring it is to pump, let alone how uncomfortable it is. But… it doesn’t have to be that way. Everything changed for me when I started using Lacevo’s breast pumps. Head to lacevo.com and use code THEFIGURE5 to get a cheeky discount!

    Why I Let My Kids Drink This Juice (But Not the Others)
    2025/06/25
