• Ep 29. Moving Away from Food as a Reward to Food as a Blessing
    Nov 24 2025

    In this episode, I open up about my own journey of moving away from using food as a reward and learning to see it as the blessing God always intended it to be. I share how diet culture shaped my thinking for years, leading me into patterns of deprivation, nighttime overeating, guilt, and “starting again on Monday.” I talk honestly about the exhausting season of motherhood when I had four boys under seven, how giving so much of myself - physically and emotionally - left me searching for comfort and escape, and how food often became the quickest relief.

    Together, we explore why treating food as something we have to earn disconnects us from our bodies, fuels emotional eating, and keeps us stuck in the restrict-binge cycle. Then I walk through what it looks like to embrace a biblical perspective instead - seeing food as God’s daily provision, not a prize or a test. I share six practical steps you can start using right away to shift your mindset and build a more peaceful, grounded, God-honouring relationship with food.


    If you’ve ever felt trapped in food rules, reward patterns, or cycles of guilt, this episode will help you imagine a gentler way forward - one marked by nourishment, gratitude, and freedom.

  • Ep 28. Is Overeating a Sin? | A Compassionate, Biblical Look at Food, Fullness & the Heart
    Nov 17 2025

    Have you ever finished a meal - or a weekend full of food and wine — and found yourself wondering, “Did I just overeat? Was that a sin?” I know I have, and it’s a question that came up for me after a recent weekend away in the Barossa Valley. In this episode, I’m sharing a compassionate, biblical perspective on a topic many of us quietly wrestle with overeating. We’ll explore six key truths that help us understand what overeating really is - and what it isn’t. From the Bible’s portrayal of food as a gift, to the heart posture behind gluttony, to the physiological realities of hunger, exhaustion, and stress, we’ll unpack how God meets us in our humanity with grace, not shame. I also share one of my favourite Scripture stories - Elijah under the broom tree - as a tender reminder of how God cares for our bodies and our hearts before He calls us to action. By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a clearer, gentler understanding of your hunger, your body, and your heart. You’ll be encouraged to approach food, fullness, and your own needs with curiosity instead of guilt, and you’ll be reminded that God’s goodness and provision are not measured by portion sizes - He simply wants you to taste and see that He is good.

  • Ep 27. Virtues | What they are & How they’re Connected to our Vocation & Calling
    Nov 10 2025

    What does it really mean to live a good and flourishing life – and how do virtues fit into that picture? This week, I’m diving into a topic I didn’t expect to love quite so much: virtue. When I first studied it earlier this year, I had no idea how deeply it was tied to human flourishing, calling, and spiritual growth. But what I discovered changed the way I think about faith, purpose, and the way we live out our vocation every day.

    In this episode, I’ll unpack what virtues are, why they matter so much for those of us who want to reflect Christ in our work and relationships, and how they’re essential to living a truly fruitful and flourishing life. I’ll also share some of my own challenges in ministry – like striving, busyness, comparison, and people-pleasing – and how God’s grace has met me in each one.

    Whether you’re in formal ministry, leading in your workplace, or simply trying to live faithfully in the everyday, this conversation will encourage you to grow in Christlike character and to see your calling through the lens of virtue and grace.

  • Ep 26. Dust on the Scales | Finding Strength & Beauty that won’t Fade
    Nov 3 2025

    This week has stretched me thin - renovations, solo parenting, and a whole lot of chaos! In the middle of the noise and the mess, I’ve been reminded how easy it is to chase what’s temporary and forget where true strength and beauty come from. In this episode, I share honestly about feeling weary and how God has been meeting me through Isaiah 40 - a passage that reminds us that while everything else fades, His Word stands forever. If you’ve been feeling tired, distracted, or longing for something steady to hold onto, join me as we rediscover the beauty of resting in God’s unchanging strength.

  • Ep 25. Sustainability | The Secret to Long-Term Success
    Oct 27 2025

    In this episode, I’m diving into a word that might not sound glamorous — but it’s truly the secret to lasting transformation in every area of life: sustainability. If you’ve ever started a new diet, workout plan, or routine with all the best intentions, only to burn out or give up a few weeks later, this one’s for you. I share honestly about my own years of stop–start habits and what finally helped me build healthy rhythms that actually last — including how lowering the bar with movement turned me from a “wannabe runner” into a true walker (and eventually, a hiker at heart!). We’ll talk about why sustainability matters, what it looks like in real life, and how to apply it specifically to your eating habits — with practical, grace-filled encouragement for creating meals that are both physiologically and psychologically satisfying. Because the truth is, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s building a lifestyle that works for your real life, in your real season. By the end, you’ll see why slow and steady really does win the race — and how falling in love with the process (not just the outcome) leads to peace, freedom, and long-term success in your health and faith journey.

  • Ep 23. How I’m Overcoming my Resistance to Resistance Training with Atomic Habits
    Oct 14 2025

    In this week’s episode, I share my journey of finally embracing resistance training and how I’m using James Clear’s Atomic Habits to make it stick. I talk honestly about the resistance I’ve had to lifting weights, the stories I’ve told myself, and how I’m learning to trust both God and myself to take consistent, faithful action. I break down the four laws of behaviour change and show how I’ve applied them to create a simple, sustainable habit - complete with cues, rewards, and strategies that make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying. Whether you’re trying to build new habits, grow in self-trust, or simply show up for yourself in small, meaningful ways, this episode is full of encouragement, practical tips, and a reminder that God works in you every step of the way.


    The book I talk about in today’s episode is: “Atomic Habits” by James Clear and you can buy it here: https://www.amazon.com.au/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/1847941834/ref=sr_1_5?crid=NWHNKKYIF8E9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yvc_9yf_fYhl6GPOnnmZzYGHCaRleLODwJIzzXrQ3UOc8ol4UFa4UeTauH5YCSfBG4N9dU-c_IuJvN5PJdlkKDcb8nMSElmAAxGVxs6fqYuvmNuKCl1gWWmZOVIARWo5aK5pEATYBBIDZSqkQAA3ZtoJButxRxJKRxfz--kjPt9Qmb3hOFhx4fCWrqVoAdV8A4iG3aubqat57Bh1c3aEcHpgp-vDHoYnW0uB84TdTIdMUpH944D4Q5rL7shV1pxP2VyrFypi-6-6YS2duMZZc4-fSS_3fFzPm004hZ3UL3o.CpGXUp91xXk2QUYZZGajPrfUeGC-_RA9phAnVv6TqI0&dib_tag=se&keywords=Atomic+Habits&qid=1760353022&sprefix=atomic+habit%2Caps%2C255&sr=8-5

  • Ep 22. Body Image | From Shame to Seeing Rightly & the Foundation for Healing
    Oct 7 2025

    In this episode, I get personal and dive into a topic that touches so many of us - body image. I share my own journey, from loving my body as a dancer in childhood to experiencing shame, criticism, and the long-lasting impact of negative body image after pregnancy and childbirth. We explore where these struggles come from - cultural pressures, family influences, personal experiences - and how they take root early in life. Then, we look at the Bible, from Genesis 3 to the New Testament, to see how sin distorts our perception and how Jesus offers true restoration. I unpack practical and biblical ways to start seeing ourselves as God sees us, free from shame, clothed in Christ, and on the path to a healthier, God-centred view of our bodies.
