In this episode I explore the hidden opportunities that can be found in changes that affect your daily routine and allow you to discover whats possible.
It's so easy to keep on doing the known, after all we know the brain loves familiarity and routine, (Known and familiar = safe = we're not going to die!) but when we get the chance to do things differently how often do we stop ourselves from even giving it a go?
I talk about why a recent 'forced' change has enabled me to get curious, do things differently and potentially change the whol estructure of my day.
If you have trouble 'allowing' yourself to try something different, I want to encourage you to tale a deep breath and have a go, because you'll never now 'til you have a go!

In this solo episode I delve into resistance and unravel why its not bad or good, it depends!
Resisting going backwards and doing an old habit that you used to do but doesn't serve you is a positive, for example hitting snooze on your alarm clock in the morning.
But resisting letting go of what you've always done or said around others, because you are scared of what it will feel like or how they will respond...
... is going to stop you from getting what you say you want, and keep you feeling stuck and out of alignment with yourself.
I talk about what that can feel like for many of us and thats why we try to fill the 'void' with food, drink, exercise and more.
If you are struggling with anything I talk about on this episode I invite you to get in touch and let's have a chat.

Driven by lack, scarcity and a belief they 'don't deserve' means that money stories around waste and value are often confused and conflicting, often leading to overwhelm, anxiety, strict restrictions and out of control binges.

In this solo episode I am talking about just what emotions are and why we need to feel them but NOT be fixated or ruled by them!
We are in a weird time at the moment where 'normal human emotions' are being pathologised and medications are being handed out without due thought for the long term effects on squash feelings and changing pathways that are simply normal.
Which means we have a situation where people areon sick leave for life and some young people never even start in the world of work...
The effect on future generations if this trend continues as it is, is frightening. I cover all this and more in this episode and as I say a couple of times in the broadcast I am offering you a free chilled out chat with me to help you.

In this short solo episode I talk about why we need to practice being patient with our body when it comes to healing from injuries and when it comes to making long term lifestyle changes.
I pose the question: Is patience a 'Lost' Art? I'd love to know your thoughts.
For myself I know my lack of patience with my body in the past has definitely been detrimental to my physical and mental health and I now realise that patience is a SKILL that needs to be practised.
Leave your comments below. I'd love you to share your throughts and experience with being more or less patient with your body and brain as you get older.

In this solo episode I talk about how ACCEPTANCE is vital to being able to create the health and lifestyle that you desire and stop repeating addictive habits with food, alcohol and exercise along with people pleasing, perfectionism and comparing yourself to others that no longer serve you mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually.
Acceptance doesn't mean you have to like it or even agree with it, but it does mean you get to let go of feelings and thoughts that keep you 'stuck' in a lack mentality and 'shoulding' all over yourself and others.
Acceptance is a sign of strength and growth, not complacency or giving up! It means you get to GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION to be the person you always were destined to be.
Need help with acceptance and becoming 'unstuck' send me a message via email or connect with me on socials.

In this solo episode I talk about why being 'nice' and trying to 'spare' other peoples feelings is actually anything but nice!
You are NOT in control of other people's feelings and to think that you are is actually incredibly arrogant and grandiose!
No matter what your parents, grandparents or teachers may have told you its not YOUR role to be in charge of other people's emotions, the only person's feelings you are in charge of are...your own!
Trying to take on everyone else feelings is a mammoth task and once you STOP doing you will free yourself from a shed load of stress and anxiety!
Stress and anxiety are the biggest drivers to turning to food and alcohol to manage, soothe or numb out from your feelings and having to manage other peoples!

This is such an inspiring episode of transition and turning adversity to advantage.
Sasi Krishnan shares her journey of how she went from a successful corporate career in a foreign country that kept her in 'people pleasing' mode and lead her to feeling burn-out and disillusioned to an online authentic Indian cook.
She covers the culinary culture shock of discovering what UK Indian restaurants and takeaway's had to offer 20+ years ago and how she learned to be able to cook both meat and vegetarian dishes through intuition and self-trust.
She made the choice to ditch the career and focus of being a full time Mum until one decision - to learn how to make bread transformed her life!
We also talk Yoga, being a destiny child and so much more...
This is one episode I'm sure you'll enjoy right to end.

I am talking with Nathan Segal a talented writer and coach about the difficulties of living with and then trying to remove yourself from narcissistic family members and partners.
When you are in these relationships you can't know what you don't know and in Nathan's case both his parents, not just one, were narcissists which is unusual but also means that is all you know.
Through his experiences of trying and failing to remove himself from his family completely he now has created a method that works and can help you get free from YOUR narcissistic family ties once and for all.

In the first episode back after a Summer break I dive straight into the rather taboo topic of SUICIDE and look at what action we need to be taking to prevent more Young people and Men over 50 deciding it's the way to go.
The way we Judge , the language we use and our ability to communicate clearer and freely are all things to be hyper aware of and most of us are not, because we are not taught the powerful way they can affect us and others.
By sharing our own stories, like I have here, we can reduce the isolation that often accompanies suicidal thoughts. It's important to remember that talking about suicide doesn't plant the idea in someone's mind. Instead, it allows individuals to express their pain and seek assistance.
Supporting Those in Need:
If you suspect that someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, it's crucial to reach out and offer your support. Listen without judgment, let them know you care.
In the UK, there are numerous helplines and resources available, such as the Samaritans & Mind who provide confidential support 24/7.

I offer you some alternatives to try for yourself, get curious and notice HOW it feels for you to give yourself permission to shift your language and your habits.
I'd love to know what you do try, and how you get on.

You are enough, you are deserving, words that many who use food, alcohol or both do not feel.
In fact many of us have NEVER felt 'good enough' and this is the fuel for striving for goals, whether they are financial, academic, material or physical.
I talk about being able to tune into your HEART and your GUT to trust yourself and to use the POWER WITHIN to drive you in a positive to way, to create the health and life you really want, not he one someone else told you to pursue, or the one you thought was enough, because you didn't realise MORE was available to you...You don't have to be MORE than you all, you just need to use that power within to be ALL that you are!
No idea how to even start doing that? Let's Connect and have a Chat

In this episode I talk about connecting back to yourself physically as well as emotionally.
Connecting you with your physical feelings where they are in your body and what they are bringing to your attention. I invite you to experience the power of stroking your own skin and I talk about your inner voices and inner child.
I also mention Dr. Richard Schwartz who created Internal Family Systems if you fancy checking out his work and Johan Harari who talks about the opposite of addiction being connection. I also recommend you check out Dr. Russel Kennedy on connecting back to the body.

In todays episode I talk about how being disciplined helps with self-worth, brain reprogramming and frees up your mind and body to more of what brings you joy. I also talk about the importance of doing what you say you are going to do...
Hate the word discipline? Change it - I use non-negotiables, the things I do each day to help me stay true to my values and identity. Use a term or word that works for you.
If you are not sure how or where to begin for you in terms of creating discipline in your life please do get in touch and let's see how I can help you get clearer on how you could begin.

I'm celebrating 18 sober years this Bank holiday weekend (UK) and in this episode I address how that happened for me and why we need to be SUPER aware of the language we choose to use. I talk about the power of the Universe, AA, and more.
As always in this episode I go off on different tangents, but the overriding message is - change is possible for you and its doesn't have to be hard unless you decide it's going to be- Go figure!

In this episode I chat with Stephanie Shaw who has a podcast Hello Hot Flash about her health issues and frustrations at not getting answers and the help she needed.
Stephanie Shaw is a health & wellness speaker and host of the podcast Hello, Hot Flash.
An educator by nature, Stephanie took the strategies she implemented to recover from a two-year illness and turned them into a nutrition coaching and online education business where she teaches midlife women how to manage their hormones to lose weight, and slow the aging process.
Stephanie’s online course, Mastering Menopause supports midlife females by helping them peel back the layers that are blocking them, so they can control the change. As a result, women build lasting lifestyles of confidence, energy, and a body they deserve.

You know intellectually what you need to do to change your relationship with alcohol, anxiety, food, your body image or all of these, or at least you think you do...Yet you are NOT doing it, Why? You are smart, intelligent, a high achiever, a person who gets results, so why can't you crack this?
In this episode I talk about the oldest part of the brain and why IT wants you to keep on doing what you are currently doing, understanding how your brain works can help you see why WILLPOWER is not the key to changing things, its multiple factors you need to address.
I talk language changing triggers and where you can get access to some simple strategies to help you, that don't feel too uncomfortable to master.
Here's to you THRIVING not just surviving!

I'm talking radical honesty, the type of honesty that pulls no punches, that allows no BS, no little white lies, no omitting the truth to save someone's feelings or avoid 'getting into trouble' I delve into addiction recovery, crap communication skills and being taught to lie by parents and authority figures in our early years.
One of the key first steps to recover from any addiction is to first get radically honest with yourself, then another person, woah, that's a toughie! Especially when we are taught from being tiny humans thats its okay to lie and that if we repeat a lie often enough, well that makes it true...doesn't it?
I hope you find some encouragement and motivation from this episode to give yourself permission to let go of the lies, freedom doe lie in honesty, honestly! :)

I'm flying solo this week on a topic that comes up a surprising amount in the 'grown ups' I work with. Its the spring equinox and time to let go of the stuff that keeps us stuck in repeating habits and thought patterns, and that includes grudges...I discuss why holding a grudge is just your ego and it will hold you back! Also covered, communication as a skill, interpretation being learned and usually based on other peoples beliefs and why we need to stop it off with assumptions!

This is an incredible lady she is an inclusion specialist...and has an amazing story to share.
This episode covers so many different topics - It takes you on a journey through survival against the odds, bulimia, being very dress size from the smallest to the largest in store, alcohol issues, self-harm, having to turn off the life-support machine for a family member....
We talk about how we came across on another, the power of knowing what you want in MJ's case to be a Mum.
It cover disability and managing life in a wheelchair, being obsessional, and told you are neurodivergent, being on medication that lead to self harm and ending up in a mental health institution.
There is so much in this episode I do hope you get some inspiration from MJ and her story.

This episode is all about grieving and bereavement.
I talk about why I am talking about this topic at his moment in time...
I also cover why I hate the word 'loss or lost' when talking about someone not being physically here on this planet any longer
And why how we grief and what we feel is not the same for everyone and it can come in waves that hit like a tsunami or as gentle whispering breeze.
As well as why we don't want to get stuck in being victim to grief and letting it STOP us living our own lives...
Talking about it is SO important so please do reach out for help if you are struggling.

Yes It's a cliche but hey, one that needs exploring!
In this episode I talk about why we resist, I talk about the ART of change and why waiting until you get a disease or have a heart attack (like did) before you make changes is NOT to be recommended.
I talk gut health, alcohol, habit patterns and more...

In this episode I explore why on earth adults revert to children when talking about food and drink!
When a grown man talks about eating 'naughty food' I cannot stifle a loud and heart felt groan, really? I mean really? Naughty food, I was naughty....hang on a minute while I dust off the naughty step...come on, you are adults.
Seriously though, is language we need to focus on, as kids and teens are picking this up and it's 'demonizing' certain types of food.
I explain what 'BAD FOOD' really is and what we need to start doing instead to stop repeating this juvenile habit.

In this first episode of RAW CHATTER I talk about why having a 'Goal' or 'Target' weight is not as helpful as you many think but is!
Social conditioning, diet programs and your GP may well tell you you need to set a goal and a time frae to get there, I say STOP doing that and you'll most likely get there far more easily...

nkedIniIn this episode Helen talks about the role of carers and caring for carers...
Looking after others is something people are drawn to do, but when when looking after others means NOT having the time or energy to loo after yourself, it becomes a daily struggle.
We are taught to "push through" or "keep going" but when the body and brain can't handle the stress, they WILL let you know.
This is a classic episode of from adversity comes advancement, listen in to find out Helen's solution and her goals to help others tae care of themselves in that caring environment.

Who started out as a furniture designer and moved on with a hair salon, serving soul food, working as an interior designer until she created the wonderful business she has now helping people create a space where they can feel whole and aligned.

lterAIn this episode I am sols talking about how Discipline = Freedom and why we resist change.
So many people talk and think about change being "hard" but I explain why that very thinking makes it so!
I cover vibration, the law of reciprocity and energy and why we get what we focus on. The more you think about what you don't want, the more of that you are attracting to you in bucket loads!
Changing the thinking by being aware ALL of the time is of your thoughts and calling BS on the ones you want to eliminate is critical to rewiring and firing mind and nervous system so you can get free of anxiety, overwhelm, emotional and binge eating or alcohol dependence.
OFFER
Through November & December I am offering a whole day with me where you get to B..L.A.S.T. away your resistance to change and get the freedom from food or alcohol or body issues and anxiety that you desire BEFORE 2023.

In this episode I talk with Tasha Thor-Straten talks openly and honestly about her journey through bowel cancer from the first signs to getting the all clear.
She has some great advice, is very vulnerable about her thoughts and feelings on getting that diagnosis and then receiving the news all was clear.
We discuss poo, blood, the misinformation, the importance of getting seen quickly, the emotional rollercoaster that is deciding on what is the best treatment and everything in between.
If you have any fears around this topic or it has triggered you in any way please don't sit on your feel, reach out for a chat to Tasha or to me.

In this episode I am talking about labels...
The 'ics' and 'isms' eg: Workoholic, perfectionism etc and looking at whether they keep us from creating the identity we really desire to have.
Are the actually helpful?
Or are they a 'get out clause' a way of letting ourselves of the hook and staying stuck...
No conclusion in this podcatse I',m just sharing my ramblings on th topic and asking you what do you think?
If you ARE struggling with a health diagnosis and not getting the help you need please do reach out. If you KNOW you are hanging onto a label as an excuse NOT to change, also reach out for a chat, just sharing whats going going on may be all that you need to help ou let it go.

In this episode I talk about how we humans respond in a crisis by turning to external things like alcohol, cigarettes and food (among other things) and what we can try to focus on instaed.
Its about us recognising that this economy is just part of the cycle of things, its happened before, we got through it, things will improve and then it will happen again, just like the pandemic, we only need to look at history.
When we keep doing what we have done before to cope, sometimes we find out doesn't work anymore, so we try something else (multiple addictions anyone?!) or we need more of the thing to get the same result and this can be when the 'solution. becomes a problem.
No one chooses to create a problem, it kinda creeps up on you, in the episode I offer suggestions of things you can do to change how you feel -like stop watching the news! that are not as health-sabotaging and that don't cost more money.
If you feel this episode has been helpful to you or you thing it may benefit someone else please do share it.

In this Short Solo Episode I talk about WHY we need to change the socially conditioned (schools, teachers, parents take note) if we are to help us al feel better about WHO we are.
I talk about our self- worth NOT being linked to academic achievements and promotions, body size or shape or the amount of money, companies, homes, cars or 'stuff' you have!
Comparing ourselves to others as a way of gauging your own worth is never going to be helpful, because its a short lived way of either feeling better than or less than!
Knowing your core values, knowing what lights you up and feels good and what drags you down and feels heavy is more important than putting others down to feel better than, or worse to feel MORE than.
Always wanting to be right, to have the last word, to give opinions when they are NOT asked for is all about having LOW self-worth, which unfortunately pushes people away and leads to you feeling even less 'worthy'
Looking inwards to WHO you want to be as person, and doing the stuff that feels good is a much more fun and effortless way of improving your self-worth.
If you are struggling with anxiety, self worth, body confidence or are using controlling your weight or food and over exercising as a way to feel better about yourself, you'll know how exhausting and futile that is.
I am here to help you break than desires and need is you feel you would like some help or just a chat to talk about how your feeling about yourself and your life right now, you can connect with me here:

In this episode I talk about just what we mean by grief, how its not a 'linear process' and is different for everyone.
Whether you are dealing with a recent loss of a family member or friend or from years ago YOUR experience is your own.
Honor your feelings, you don't have to know what you are feeling, just feel it and let it out what ever that looks like.
Coming from a place of gratitude, though it may sound odd, I truly believe is they way to deal with grief over the long term.
I do hope you find this episode useful if you have any comments or would like to get in touch with me please do, especially if YOUR grief is leading you to turn to external substances like alcohol or food.

In this episode I am chatting with Jessica Staniforth from SEXUCATION - bringing out into general conversation sex and the stuff that really does matter to all of us as human spiritual and sexual beings.
Wether you feel comfortable saying the word or not we cannot get away from the fact that if it wasn't for Sex, YOU, me and everyone else on the planet wouldn't wouldn't be here, and yet, it's still a taboo subject in so many homes.
It's time we stepped into the 21st century and started to talk about what we love, what makes us feel good, connecting to our own wants and desires as individuals and connecting with intimacy and playfulness with our partners.
Its time we stopped thinking about penetration when we think sex, it is so much more than that...
We talk out our thoughts around sex education and how its important that sex is talked about at home, not just left up to schools to educate our kids, as well as our collaboration and the creation of "Health & Pleasure"a brand new website coming soon
We will be launching with a Quiz: "Discover Your Sizzle Factor"

Episode 14: I go back to simplifying health and looking at how much of a role does food play in that..
It's that time of year when we become more body conscious, are probably being more active outdoors and may be concerned that we don't FEEL quite as healthy as we'd like to!
We are all unique as individuals yet we do have similarities in how our brains and guts function.
I pose the question just what is health?
There isn't one answer, in fact there are no correct answers, its what does health mean to you. Everyone is going to feel slightly different about what it means and that's cool
I lay down the simple basics of great whole-person health and explain WHY most people don't focus on the simple, free stuff that helps create good health but like to over complicate things and believe the incorrect info put out in the media by food giants and others...
If you KNOW you need to work on these foundation I have a online program that can help you do just that The Ultimate Health Bootcamp and I can also work with you on a 1-2-1 basis to help you personally create the health and life that you want to have.

Episode 13: Controversial title for a controversial topic, yes, I am talking about what just happened in the Supreme Court this week in America and the over tuning on a ruling for abortion rights for Women.
I share MY OPINIONS (remember opinions are just that opinions and up for arguing with) in this episode and ask how is it that WOMEN are happy about this.
I notice that every broadcast is talking to middle class white women....
I do invite answers to the question I pose at the end - ant derogatory comments about what I have shared will be deleted.

Episode 11: The Little Girl, The Bad Man, The Mean Woman and The Horrible Boy
This is a cracking episode about Child sex abuse in Ireland, and how determination, resilience and powerful drive to change things for the better for daughters of narcissistic mothers along with sense of humour can help you create a great life.
Hazel Larkin shares her incredible and at times 'gobsmacking' story of her experiences of child abuse in a family and town that were fully aware of what was going on.
It's one not to miss.
Hazel and I could have talked for hours and we didn't even get to her travels around the globe, her relationships along the way etc.
But you can read all about that in her book 'Gullible Travels' is available here: https://amzn.to/3vcceuf
Hazel runs run a support group for Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers, and also groups for parents who were sexually abused as children, and for parents whose children were sexually abused.
In addition, she runs trauma-informed workshops for medics who work with women who have histories of child sexual abuse.
Hazel is running a "Happiness Retreat for Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers" in the last week of July in Ireland
The Pink Orchid Retreat is going to be in September.
Details are on the website, or people can just contact hazel using the links :) you can also fine her on Facebook

Episode 10 is personal and about a subject I am passionate about as it's affecting my own daughter, so this is aimed at EVERYONE, but especially those of you who are stuck in the INCORRECT delusional narrative that the customer is always right!
NO, NO AND NO AGAIN! In fact the customer is usually wrong...
It's a bit of a different subject to the things i normally talk about because I am talking about YOU as a customer and how you behave in shops, bars, restaurant, supermarkets, retail shops and cafe's.
I'm asking you to look at how you interact, how effective, kind and considerate you are with another human being who is doing their job, and often being treated like at 4th class citizen, a piece of sh*t on someones shoe or even non existent,
Do YOU treat them that way? If so know that it's NOT okay!
If you are a manager or owner of a group of stores, cafes' etc, STOP training your staff that the customer is always right, instaed train your staff to train the customers to behave in a way that benefits and everyone!
Things need to change so much in this area and if you don't know how to go about it managers, business owners, I am happy to teach you!
NO-ONE goes to a job to have the life force sucked out of them for 6-8 hrs a day, all because customers don't know how to behave.
Take that on board as you reflect on how YOU are being as a customer.....
PS: If you feel annoyed or triggered its because you are doing this stuff, it's a sure sign YOU need to work on things, time to change

Thats a heck of a statement to hear isn't it!
Allow me to clarify, YOU are not that important in someone else's life. See when we worry constantly about what other people think, it means we think they must be thinking about us A LOT - but the truth is they are not!
Not because they don't care, but because they are the centre of their own world, not you. And, they don't criticise you like YOU criticise you.
Feeling 'not good enough' is the underlaying cause of low self worth, anxiety, depression and staying stuck in a rut. Once you realise you don't have to MORE than you are, just be ALL that you are, it is easier to let go of caring so much about what other people think of you......Listen to the end for probably the most important short sentence of the whole episode.

Hi Vicky Midwood here, flying solo today for this one
A quick episode to get you thinking about the way we use the phrase YOLO in our lives.
This is designed to ask yourself some questions about whether or not you're making the most of living in the present, and your experiences or using it miss out?
No judgement, this is about knowing, that starts with being aware of the things we tell ourselves in our heads about why we do certain things!

I look at the common signs you or someone you know and love, is thinking that way, and how it can be a real issues in relationships.

In this episode I talk seriously about 'underlaying health issues' and why, throughout this pandemic the government and the doctors advising them have MISSED every single opportunity to hammer home the BIGGEST factors that are causing our hospitals to fill up again.
The state of OUR OWN HEALTH.
Unless you truly live in a bubble, you and I are all being exposed to chemicals, persicices, fungicides, poor quality cheap food, too many grains (vis livestock) the ability to work and shop 24 /7 that affects circadian rhythm hormones, gut microbes and yes our IMMUNE FUNCTION.
There is possibly 1% of the population who does NOT have any underlying health issues (though I doubt even that!)
Poor Sleep, Poor Blood Sugar management, Stress, too many refined foods, poor hydration....ALL equal underlaying health issues and a therefore a potentially compromised immune system.
I will be offering a RESTORE program to help YOU finally get all of these issues that are in fact in your hands, on track so that if you are exposed to the new variant (and by the looks of what is happening we ALL are being) YOUR body can handle it.

In this episode I may ruffle a few feathers, I talk about why its NOT a good idea to weigh our kids at at school (its coming back in this September)
You can OPT OUT as a parent and not let this be a part of your child's' school memories!
I talk about how WE as parents and adults need to educate OURSELVES on what 'healthy eating' really is and NOT fall for the clever marketing of low fat, sugar filled foods touted as 'Natural' or 'Good for you' Wise up folks!
Innocent smoothies and seed and honey packed bars are NOT doing your brain, mood. microbiome, immune function, hormone balance or blood sugar levels ANY favours who-so-ever.
if you are offended by what I have to say, there we go, be offended. I am talking truth and my opinions. You may share them you may not and that's okay!
If you do feel you need some education on just what a health diet really means, not what society, media and big food want you believe it means, please do get in touch.
We owe it to future generations to help themselves understand how to stay healthy in a social climate that makes unhealthy choices way too easy to make, often without knowing it!

In this episode I talk about how using willpower to change my binge eating & vomiting and my drinking failed abysmally, and why it was willpower that kept me stuck in those habits for way longer than I needed to be!
I also talk about WHAT you need to do instead!
So if you have 'tried' and failed multiple time to use willpower to 'take back control' of your eating or drinking this episode is for you!

In this episode I talk about the probable ROOT CAUSES of my issues and obsession with food and later alcohol..
I talk about how I was a 'sweetie thief' and people pleaser looking to be accepted, praised, and 'made to feel' good enough by others even in infant school and the escalation into my first 'diet' as a 12/13 year old.
I was ginger haired, freckle faced stocky kid who just wanted to feel 'enough'....perhaps you can relate?
**Trigger I do talk about mental illness and domestic violence
Part two will follow next week!

Its Mental Health awareness week so I thought I'd talk about just what Mental Health means and why I don't like to separate the mental from the physical.

I also talk about the confusion of some physical issues being cause for being given a mental health diagnoses and why talking about how you feel is so important.
If you feel you need to open up to someone confidentially please do reach out, keeping this stuff in won't make it go away or change it, share it with someone who won't judge, who will listen and hold space for you.

In this episode I talk about social anxiety, what causes it, how it affects you physiologically but also what YOU can do to change things.
Many of us now feel anxious going back out into social situations after being shut in door for months on end.
Our social skills have not really been needed and if you haven't really had the opportunity to practice social skills at all it can leave you feeling vulnerable and frustrated but also like there is something wrong with you.
Remember YOU are the thinker of you thoughts and YOU can think different thoughts when ever you like!
You also don't know what other people are thinking....if you are telling yourself other people are thinking x,y,z about you - NEWSFLASH!
YOU aren't that important to them...and other people don't all think like you.
Let go of the focus on self and start to LISTEN to other people is social situations ask THEM questions and then you can make appropriate comments or simple listen without planning in your own head what you will say next...
Socialising is a skill that needs practice, give yourself chance to do than in smaller groups before charging straight into big ones!
Being in larger crowds in NOT comfortable for many of us - me included!
So pick your times to travel if you can when things are quieter on buses , trains ot tubes, go shopping really early or late to avoid peak times and crowds and take the time to JUST BREATHE and give yourself chance to come down in the calmer parasympathetic 'rest and digest' part of your nervous system, YOU NEVER KNOW before long with practice and repetition you may find you look forward to those social occasions more than you thought you ever would!
If you need help with anxiety of stress please do connect with me and lets have a chat about I may be able to help you.

In today's episode I call BS on the 3 P's - Perfectionism, Paralysis and Procrastination
**Trigger warning - I do talk about bulimia and binge eating, anorexia and emotional eating
As someone who never truly realised how trying to be perfect kept me repeating the self-destructive cycles of alcohol and food obsession and addiction and who is now helping others to do similar, I wanted to share with you why we are NEVER staying still. and why striving to be perfect just makes us miserable!
We are either moving towards or away from what we say we want, and perfection leading to procrastination and analysis paralysis does NOT keep us stuck, it takes us away from the success and recognition we so dearly crave!
Ego plays a role in perfectionism but not quite so much as fear....
The message is simple: BE - HERE - NOW
Take one step towards what you want, instead of waiting until you have all outcomes and steps laid out in minute detail and start living in the day!

In this episode I talk about the sad new that Nikki Grahame passed away from Anorexia after year of struggling.
I also talk about why we just must stop looking at mental and physical health as separate entities, because if we don't more and more people with continue to be mi-diagnosed and them treated with medication or therapies that can make the misdiagnosis seem like the correct one!
My Mum's Hypothyroidism was NEVER diagnosed or treated, instead she was given a diagnosis of 'manic depression' now known as 'Bi-polar disorder' resulting in electric shock treatment and decades of taking a cocktail drugs that resulted in incontontience, permanent shaking, loss of nerve function, impaired immune function and muscle wasting.
She didn't live she just existed on drugs that killed her, what waste of a life!
A subject close to my heart then, and one that still leaves me with sadness that NOTHING is changing even though we have clear research available to anyone who care to look that the mental and physically are inextricably linked.
Simple lifestyle changes are the easiest first steps, hydration, nutrition, daily fresh air and walking...
If you feel you have underlying physical issues that may have been mis-diagnosed as a mental illness, ask for a second, third or fourth opinion from a holistic, functional or integrative health practitioner.

In this episode I talk about WHY your GP or Dr. does NOT have all the answers.
Don't worry I am not DR. bashing , I have total respect for what they do, the passion and drive, strength and resilience that everyone is showing during this on going pandemic is incredible!
BUT their training means they are not taught to join up the dots between nutritional deficiencies and mental health or behaviour issues, inflammation created by stress and food sensitivity, toxins and chemical exposure with hormone imbalance or diabetes or signs of bipolar in someone with hypo/ hyper thyroid issues...
I talk about whey they will always be 15 years or so behind current research UNLESS they choose to spend every spare hour they have reading research papers and attending summits and conventions to learn about current studies and outcomes and the awesome new discoveries in science in all areas of health, that are ongoing.
Fortunately people like me and my colleagues DO have the time to be current with scientific research, and to get a full health and life history from our clients!
Plus we get to spend more than 10 minutes with each person, meaning we get to root causation and don't offer quick fix medication or sticking plaster solutions to alleviate symptoms.

In this episode I cover why we perceive change to be hard and I tell what you need to know to be able to counter that!
I talk about your Reptilian brain and survival being its priority, with anything being uncomfortable seen as a 'threat'
I also cover why buying a book, program or course won't 'make you change' or give you the results you were promised...you have to actually do the flippin' work!
This is an invitation to listen to why I recommend curiosity as being your secret to successful lasting changes and why you can CHOOSE how hard (or not!) change is for you.

In this episode I talk about emotional, mental and physical abuse
**Trigger warning I talk about rape & domestic violence"
iT IS NOT your fault mae or female is you have or are in an abusive relationship , but when it leads to abusing yourself too, its time to take responsibility...
As I child I witness abuse and as an adult I allowed it, not anymore!
TALKING is crucial to getting out of the situation and stopping the brain washing.
Talking will help you to get out of 'victim' thinking and feel able to start taking responsibility for creating a new story and a better life.

In today's episode I talk about another RAW CHATTER MATTER - that of suicide and suicidal thoughts.
As a person who has been there personally, having made 3 attempts at my own life and had family members who have tried and one who did succeed I am NOT embarrassed or ashamed to talk honestly about this subject....and neither should YOU be!
if someone is brave to say they are thinking that way, we need to hold off the judgments or solutions and LISTEN to their thoughts, feelings and fears.
Hold space for them to speak freely and then ask what if anything can you do to help?
If its around a specific issue a chat with relevant helpline is a great first step or reach out to Samaritans or Crisis.

In this Episode Vicky talks about FEELING THE FEELINGS
About then NOT being something that was discussed in the family. Partly down to age and a 'generational thing' but also because her parents and her parents' parents didn't speak about them either!
When feelings were shown by her or others, they would be judged or labelled right, wrong, stupid or irrational.
Feelings are the key to change
Feelings are just FEEDBACK
Listen to the end and discover just what the actual names of feelings are how you can get feel more comfortable with, and reconnect to, YOUR own feelings.

In this Episode I talk about how my foods issues started and how I felt at INFANT school.
Why no one chooses to have a 'weird' relationship with food and how I used to wish to be like my friends who could leave half a Mars bar or 'forget to eat' because they were too engrossed in what they were doing! Dream on!!
I didn't want to be the 'big girl' the 'well built, stocky one' I wanted to be one of the thin ones, but even when I got to be thin, I still didn't feel better. It didn't give me what I hoped it would, in fact I was more miserable than ever!
Disordered eating is not about weight, but it is about weight. Its NOT about food, but it is about food,
IT'S NEVER just about ONE thing and it certainly is NOT black or white.
You don't have to have a full-blown recognised eating disorder to have issues with your eating and / or drinking and body image.
If it's affecting your life, your daily choices and ruling your every waking moment, it's time to start talking.
No judgement, we need to feel safe to talk about our feelings and behaviours without the guilt, shame and stigma around food or alcohol issues.
The pandemic has meant many many more people than ever before are struggling with food and eating, are you one of them?
If you are, please start talking, to me, to someone like me or to a charity or someone you trust
Hiding what's happening and keeping those feeling in is adding to the guilt and shame and keeping you stuck and suffering, I don't want that for you!
Let's Start Talking more and more about this stuff and bring it out into the open.
It's not your fault, you didn't choose iit, but you can choose to do something about it.

In this first episode Vicky talks about feeling on an emotional roller coaster through lockdown and why trying to 'stay positive' is NOT realistic or helpful. Trigger warning alcohol addiction and bulimia are mentioned in this episode.
Stress and isolation, and feeling overwhelmed by being round the same people is totally normal right now - but it can have you heading for the bottle or the biscuit tin more often than you'd like!
She talks why that's definitely NOT your fault and what you can do about it.
