Always starting over? Feel like you never get past the 4-week mark? You start with loads of motivation. You really want it, you care, and you know exactly what you want. But then the danger zone hits. Your motivation drops, things start to feel harder and before you know it, you’re back at square one. In today’s episode, I talk about why this kept happening to me for years and why the answer isn’t to try harder, find more motivation or have more willpower. I share what I realised was actually keeping me stuck — and the simple things that helped me finally break the cycle. If you’re tired of starting over and want to understand what might actually be getting in your way, this one is for you. Click play and let’s dive in.
More from I’m Done! Now What?
Have your clothes started feeling a little tighter as you’ve got older, even though you don’t feel like you’re doing anything particularly different? Maybe you’ve tried to eat better, exercise more or “get back on track”, but the results don’t seem to come as easily as they once did. And it can leave you wondering… what has actually changed? Because getting older doesn’t mean you have to accept feeling uncomfortable in your clothes or constantly trying to lose weight. In this episode, I’m talking about 3 areas that could be playing a role — your training, your nutrition and your mindset. We’ll look at some of the things that can change after 40, the habits that can creep in over the years, and why the way you approach getting fit and healthy may need to change too. If you feel like what used to work just isn’t working anymore, this episode is for you. Click play and let’s dive in.

In this episode, I’m talking about why putting so much time and energy into thinking about food might actually be keeping you stuck — and what you can start focusing on instead.

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by psychotherapist Triaha MacHale to talk about neurodiversity in women. We chat about why so many women are only discovering they’re neurodivergent in adulthood, why it has historically been missed or misunderstood, and some of the signs that might be more than simply being busy, stressed or overwhelmed. We also talk about masking — what it is, what it can look like in everyday life, and how women can become so used to masking that they don’t even realise they’re doing it. A really interesting conversation for anyone who has ever wondered, “Why do I find some things so much harder than everyone else seems to?” Click play and let's dive in.
