In my kitchen this week, I am joined by Kia Porter, a naturopathic practitioner who supports women with their hormones and fatigue so they can stop feeling burnt out, exhausted, and like enough is never enough. One of Kia's sayings that I absolutely love is "women aren’t little men".

Women are built differently, and therefore, we need to operate differently.

In this conversation, we unpack why so many women are stuck in survival mode, how hormonal health and energy are deeply connected, and what actually needs to change if you want sustainable success — not just pushing harder until you crash.

This episode is not about doing more.

It’s about doing what’s right for your body.

The topics we discuss are:

• The starter kit to reducing burnout
• How diet impacts burnout
• Living an Anti-Inflammatory lifestyle, what that means and how to do it
• How do we stop feeling like we are on a hamster wheel
• Being busy is glamorised - how do we stop this
• The difference between women and men
• Working with our hormones not against them
• Wellness tools, brands and products that can help you this year

For the final episode of the year, I’m joined in my kitchen by your favourite guest of 2025 — the ultimate glow-up queen, Izzy Utterson ✨

This episode is kindly sponsored by HEALF, the go-to destination for all things health and wellness, empowering you to feel and be the best version of yourself.

In this festive catch-up, Izzy and I reflect on the year gone by, diving into the wellness habits we’ve loved adding into our routines, as well as the ones we’ve happily left behind. We chat through our goals for the new year and share our HEALF wish-lists, including some of our favourite products.

While Christmas is often a joyful time spent with friends and family, it can also be incredibly challenging. Izzy opens up honestly about her journey with her mum and how she navigates Christmas as an anxiety-inducing time for her. If you find the festive season tough or feel pressure to feel excited when you’re not, this episode is for you — you’re not alone, and we see you.

So for all the wellness girls looking for a little extra guidance, comfort, and inspiration to round off the year, we hope you enjoy this episode
