{15.11} You've Slowed Down. Why Do You Still Feel So Tired?
You finally get a pocket of time to yourself… and then spend the whole thing deciding what to do with it. By the time you've scrolled through WhatsApp, picked up a stray sock, and stood staring at the kettle, the moment's gone. You were desperate for rest... so why didn't it feel restful? This week's episode explores what's really making rest feel impossible, even when you're doing "all the right…

You wanted to cook something nourishing — but now you're wondering what on earth to do with that butternut squash you bought three days ago with good intentions. If dinner has become the hardest part of your day, this episode is for you. This week, I'm…
{15.9} Are You Too Young for Perimenopause?
In this episode of Raising Healthy Mothers, I share a story I came across of a mum in her early 40s who was told to go on antidepressants and have CBT when she went to her GP with what she thought was symptoms of perimenopause and was wondering about HRT. This was a frustrating experience for her, so in this episode I talk about: Why symptoms of perimenopause can start earlier than many expect…
{15.8} Should You Let Your Kids Eat All the Sweets at Halloween?
It's Halloween, which means pumpkins, costumes… and a mountain of sweets about to take over your house. If you've ever found yourself hovering over your child's treat bucket wondering, "Should I let them eat it all? Should I ration it? Should I hide it behind the kale?", then this episode is for you. This week, I'm unpacking the big Halloween sugar dilemma – not with guilt or control, but with…
{15.7} Ask Me Anything: Following meal plans, sleeping with phones, swaping ingredients
This week's episode is a little different — it's an Ask Me Anything. These are the kinds of questions that come up inside my Resets, in The Weekly Table community and with 1:1 clients — the everyday, real-life questions about food, cooking and staying well when life feels full-on. As always, there's a running theme through my answers: it's not about perfection. It's about flexibility, instinct,…
{15.6} You Don't Need More Health Advice (You Just Need to Know What to Do With It)
You probably already know what to do to feel healthier: eat more veg, get enough sleep, move your body, drink some water. But if you're anything like most mums I work with, the hardest part isn't knowing what to do. It's finding the space and energy to actually do it. In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when you finally put your own needs first, not in a grand, self-care-day kind of…
{15.5} Your Winter Prep Plan for Stronger Immunity
This week, we're talking about how to make this winter feel different from last year — no more resigning yourself to catching every bug your kids bring home. It all starts with being prepared. When your kitchen, mindset, and freezer are ready, you can move through winter feeling calm and resilient instead of frazzled and depleted. In this episode, I share: The key difference between powering…
{15.4} What Really Matters for Immune Health (And What Doesn't)
The season of snot has officially arrived. Colder days, darker evenings, kids bringing home all the germs… it can feel like one endless cycle of coughs and colds. But you don't need a complete health overhaul or a cupboard full of supplements to get through winter stronger. In this episode, I share my simple 5 S framework for building everyday immune resilience without the faff. Inside you'll…
{15.3} Saying Yes To You Makes You a Better Mum
This week on Raising Healthy Mothers I 'm diving into why meeting your own needs isn't selfish; it's essential. Ignoring them leads to depletion: brain fog, mood swings, constant irritation, frequent illness, or just that sense of exhaustion that never quite lifts. When you start to re-fuel yourself with the nutrients, rest and boundaries you've been missing, you shift back into the steady, calm,…
