Hello sweet angels,

This week we’re throwing diet culture in the bin (next to self-loathing) with the divine Niamh Orbinski — author, podcaster, intuitive eating coach, yoga teacher, therapist-in-training, and all-round nourishment fairy. Ivana and Niamh get into it: food obsession, body shame, dieting since 14, eating a sleeve of Oreos while breastfeeding, and the truly radical act of saying, “My body works. I love it.”

We talk intuitive eating, rejecting the fantasy of having to be your 21-year-old size, and embracing the delicious liberation of not caring what the scales says. Niamh reminds us: we can influence weight, but not control it! Darling, no. Peace beats thinness every time.

Then — yes — Ozempic enters the chat. Ivana shares her experience: managing blood pressure and cholesterol, the silencing of the food noise, and the very real work of staying strong and sexy. It's honest, empowering, and zero shame.

Also: sensual chocolate and Niamh's notions of fancy tomato's and perfect toilet paper, and the one thing her husband hates - red lipstick — only because he can't kiss her!

This episode is about softness, sass, and coming home to yourself. Judgment off, acceptance on.

Ivana & Niamh,
