🛠️ In this episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Annmarie takes you on a journey from a flat-pack furniture disaster to a deeper reflection on life, mistakes, and the importance of following the instructions of the Maker.
After realising she’d built half a clothes horse upside down (despite insisting she didn’t need the manual), Annmarie draws a brilliant parallel between 'Swedish furniture instruction' chaos and the spiritual messes we sometimes make. With wit, warmth, and honesty, she shares how the Bible offers more than rules. It's a life-giving guide, full of grace and second chances.
Expect a mix of storytelling, spiritual encouragement, and a gentle reminder that it’s never too late to rebuild. Whether you’re mid-assembly in life or still trying to figure out what that one leftover screw is for, you’re not alone.
📖 Featuring verses from Psalms & Proverbs, and a heartfelt invitation to join the 5-Day Affirmation Challenge.
🐶 Note from Annmarie: Sorry for the random dog barking in the background. Clearly some of my neighbours had opinions on my flat-pack strategy!

In this episode of Words, Wobbles, and Wisdom, Annmarie shares an unforgettable true story from her time at Dublin Airport. What was supposed to be a simple flight home turned into a comedy of errors, complete with a security hold-up over a hair clip, a dramatic fall in the terminal, and an unexpected ride in a “pope mobile.”
But amidst the chaos and embarrassment, Annmarie reflects on the deeper lessons she learned from that moment: how easily we can be cruel to ourselves, how life’s unexpected mishaps often teach us the most, and why self-compassion is so crucial. This hilarious yet humbling experience sparked the creation of her 5-Day Affirmation Challenge, designed to help you reframe negative self-talk and embrace a kinder view of yourself.
If you’ve ever felt too hard on yourself, struggled with self-image, or simply need a reminder that you're not alone in your moments of embarrassment, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear how one airport mishap led to a powerful shift in perspective.

In this episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Irish writer and podcaster Annmarie Miles unpacks the emotional rollercoaster of change and how it often feels a lot like editing a messy manuscript.
With her signature blend of humour, heart, and honesty, Annmarie shares why she loves writing new stories but dreads the editing process… and how that perfectly mirrors her resistance to change in real life. From “killing your darlings” to confronting the real issues beneath the surface, she offers a fresh, faith-filled take on what it means to let go and grow.
She also reflects on when she shared about being told, “The weight is just a red herring,” a statement that challenged her to look deeper at what truly needs changing.

This week's episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, is a bit of a ramble... Annmarie shares a deeply personal moment after a conversation with her counsellor and reveals how focusing on weight has often distracted her from addressing deeper issues, leading to years of frustration and wasted time.

She reminds us that life isn’t about perfection, but about progress, and that sometimes, the journey itself is the most important part.

Whether you’re working on a personal goal or just trying to get through the day, Annmarie’s reflections will leave you feeling motivated and encouraged to trust in your own journey.

In this heartfelt and humorous episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Annmarie Miles reflects on a particularly dramatic head cold and the unexpected life lesson it revealed.
Following last week’s honest discussion about her struggles with weight and emotional wellbeing, Annmarie explores how physical symptoms like sneezing and fevers mirror emotional ones like sadness and frustration.
She dives into the idea that our down days, much like our runny noses, are actually warning signs; signals from our body and heart that something needs attention, rest, or change. Through personal storytelling, a bit of scripture, and a dash of Dublin wit, Annmarie shares what last week taught her about joy, self-care, and being kinder to herself (even in old leggings, covered with toast crumbs).
Perfect for anyone needing encouragement, a laugh, and a reminder that they are fearfully and wonderfully made — snot and all.

In this honest and slightly wobbly episode, Annmarie opens up about the reality of her long term weight journey that’s hit a slump. With her usual mix of humour and heartfelt reflection, she talks about feeling stuck, summer photos that don’t help, and the Facebook memories that used to inspire — but now feel like they’re having a laugh at her expense.
Rather than disappear for “a little break” like last time (which lasted 18 months), Annmarie shares her current struggles and how she’s learning to show up anyway — even when the motivation’s gone missing.
She also reflects on a quote from Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken — a book that’s made a few appearances on the podcast — and how it landed differently this time.
It’s a warm and relatable episode for anyone who’s had a weight wobble and needed a bit of encouragement to keep going.

- How speaking simple truths to ourselves—consistently—can actually make a big difference
- A spiral moment involving a toaster (you’ll want to hear this one)
- And a hilarious, heartfelt story about Wagon Wheels, childhood apologies, and a very confused neighbour

In this episode of Words, Wobbles, and Wisdom, host Annmarie Miles shares her personal journey over the past 18 months—why she made the decision to never go on another diet, how that affected her weight, and the mindset shifts that have helped her move forward.
She reflects on The Angry Episode from Series 2 and how she has come to realise that frustration and self-blame weren’t serving her. Instead, she is now focusing on balance, self-compassion, and learning how to eat healthily without the pressure of dieting.
Annmarie also discusses the eye-opening BBC documentary Irresistible: Why We Can’t Stop Eating by Dr. Chris van Tulleken. His powerful statement—"It's not your fault"—had a profound impact on her perspective on food, cravings, and the challenges of weight loss. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt like they are failing in their weight-loss journey.
In This Episode, She Discusses:
✅ Why she stopped dieting (and what happened next)
✅ How shifting her mindset has been more powerful than any diet plan
✅ The impact of ultra-processed foods on eating habits
✅ Why struggles with food and weight are not your fault
✅ Her upcoming deep dive into Ultra Processed People by Dr. Chris van Tulleken
🎧 Tune in for an honest and encouraging conversation about food, mindset, and self-compassion.

Somehow this episode was not loaded on Wednesday 8th as it should have been. Thanks to those who missed it and let Annmarie know :) This week she was live in her hometown of Tallaght in Dublin, talking about homesickness (eh?), and the beautiful Welsh word - hiraeth. While she was there, she had a chat with the one and only Frankie about nursery (naíonra), Santa Claus, and there was also a song.
