Life threw me a curveball last week with hospital trips and chaos, and I knew I couldn’t fall into old habits of burning out, giving up, and turning to food for comfort. Instead, I leaned on strategies that have transformed how I navigate stressful times—like using my 'Life Dials' approach to adjust priorities without guilt.

In this episode, I share exactly how I made it through the week without losing myself in overwhelm, what I changed in my routines, and how these same tools can work for you. If life feels like too much right now, grab my free 3-day 'Stress Reset', or DM me on Instagram with the words "stress reset" to get started.

Because when life starts life-ing, it doesn’t have to mean giving up on you.

I sat down with the amazing Styled By Susie to dive into a conversation that goes way beyond dress sizes and weight goals.

So many of us have been told that reaching a certain size will magically boost our confidence - but what if it’s not about the number on the label?

Susie and I talk about using style as a way to express who you are right now, not as a tool for self-punishment or to fit into someone else’s expectations.

In this episode, we explore:

- How loving your style can transform your confidence

- Why fashion should bring joy, not shame

- The freedom that comes from dressing for your happiness, not for a number

Whether you’re on a personal journey with body image or just looking for inspiration to love your wardrobe again, this episode is for you!
