In this episode, podcast host Katherine Ashmore is joined by Marcelle Rose, BANT registered nutritionist and eating specialist, for an honest conversation about the pressure many leaders and entrepreneurs carry - particularly around food, body image, and control.

As visibility increases and more people become the personal brand of their business, that pressure can quietly spill into eating habits in ways that aren’t always obvious.

They explore how traits that drive success, such as perfectionism, discipline, and all-or-nothing thinking can work against us when it comes to food, and why quick fixes don’t build lasting confidence.

This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation about mindset, habits, and finding steadier ways to support yourself under pressure.

In this episode, they cover:

• The pressure to look good in entrepreneurship and leadership

• How perfectionism and control show up around food

• Why stress often leaks into eating habits

• All-or-nothing thinking and its impact on confidence

• The rise of weight-loss medications and what they don’t address

• Why body image rarely improves just because weight changes

• The value of small, sustainable shifts over quick fixes

Note: If disordered eating is something you’re navigating right now, this may be an episode to come back to when it feels right.
