    The Food Industry Lies You're Still Believing
    2025/10/08
    The food industry doesn’t care about your health. They just want your money. And unfortunately, most of us are too busy trying to keep our lives in order and keep falling prey to their marketing. But not you. Today I’m talking about the biggest health food lies going around as well as providing you with options that are way cheaper AND healthier. You’ll find out: What to feed your kids for breakfast to help them focus better at school (and prevent the dreaded afternoon crashes) The 90 cent swap that actually has more protein than a $3 ‘high protein’ bliss ball Why your ‘organic’ produce might be worse for you than the normal option The reason why people still gain weight even when they switch to a healthier diet Exactly what I give my kids for snacks throughout the week (cheaper and better for them!) … and SO much more If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app Fit By The Figure or sign up for coaching.

    2025/10/01
    Everyone thinks they know Bec Judd. But do they? She’s been judged on her weight forever, called a WAG, slammed for living in a “mansion in Brighton”… and yet she’s still here with four kids including twins and 20 years in the spotlight. So how does she deal with it all? Today Bec and I are chatting about the stuff you might not know about her: from the chaos of having twins, the trolling that made her turn off her IG comments for years, and how she actually keeps her marriage spicy after two decades with Chris. You’ll also hear: The biggest lie people believe still about her life The childhood food that still haunts her today (did you eat it too?) What she wishes she could tell all new mothers How she juggles a family of 6, working, running a business, exercising AND clean eating… Does she cook for the family? The one habit that stops her from being an a**hole to her kids What she secretly hates but does anyway The trick that finally gets her twins to listen (mums, you need to hear this one!) The comment she had to literally ban from Instagram How her twins “broke” her mum within two weeks… … and SO much more Want more of Bec?

    2025/09/24
    Have you ever handed over the iPad just so you could have a moment in peace… and then wondered what it’s really doing to your kids? Are meltdowns actually coming about because of screen time? Or is it something deeper? Is two hours of “approved” screen time still too much? What’s happening to our kids’ brains when they can’t sit in the car without a device?

This week I’m sitting down with psychologist Dr. Grace Hancock to talk about exactly that, and let me tell you… some of her answers shocked me. Stick around to find out: The link between screens, sleep and your child’s mood Why the hardest age for parents is also the most dangerous for kids What’s really going on when your child “loses it” after screen time The mistake most families make when trying to implement new screentime rules One small change you can make tonight that could change everything The future of technology and our kid’s mental health … and SO much more Want more of Dr. Grace Hancock?

    Free Coaching Episode: Do you want to feel strong and love your body?
    2025/09/17
    I used to hate my body.I’d stand in the mirror, pick myself apart, and think if I could just get skinnier… THEN I’d finally be happy. Sound familiar? That way of thinking will never get you to where you want to be. It didn’t work for me as a ballet dancer in my 20s and it won’t work for you now. So if you want to learn how to become confident, healthy, secure in yourself AND look great as a byproduct of that work… Then this one’s for you. This is a sneak peek of what it’s like to work with me. If you want someone to help and hold you accountable, sign up for my Vitality Coaching Course here.
