But THANK YOU! Thank you for listening here! For every download, subscribe and review - it has blessed me to have had this platform to encourage you in your motherhood journey.

207/ Is Your Overwhelm More Than Just A Long To-Do List?

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +1000

Hey Mumma, I get it! As a mum we have a constant to do list going through our mind and that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, especially when we can't tick things off it. But what if your overwhelm is more than just because you have things to do, more than just keeping on top of the house? Sometimes we have "internal overwhelm" that is actually causing external factors to seem more mentally consuming than they should be.

Today on the podcast I am chatting about TWO things that may be contributing to your overwhelm. And the good news is we have total control over these things and therefore can make changes, which I share in the episode too.

Be blessed,

Today I am joined by Alisha Carlson who coaches women in food, fitness and life transformation from a non-dieting approach. In today's episode we are discussing what a broken relationship with food looks like, where it stems from and how we can begin to repair our thoughts and emotions around food, fitness and our bodies. We discuss food fears and what to do when feelings of guilt arise from binge eating, secretly eating or even being too restrictive. So whether you're a comfort eater (like me hello) or someone who refuses bread in the fear it will make you fat, then listen in for a freeing approach to how we view and think about food.
