Welcome to another empowering episode of The Secrets in the Powder Room with your host, Louise Bryant.

In honour of International Stress Awareness Month, we’re diving into how stress shows up in our bodies, why we turn to food and drink for comfort, and—most importantly—how we can respond with compassion instead of guilt.

Louise breaks down the science behind stress eating and drinking, shares the transformative Fairground NLP exercise and offers practical tools to help you manage stress without falling into the shame spiral.

Whether you’ve ever found yourself at the bottom of a biscuit tin or feeling the weight of stress tighten in your body, this episode is here to support you.

So, grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let’s explore how to break free from stress cycles and find kinder, more sustainable ways to soothe ourselves.

Today, Louise is taking a deep dive into the ever-changing beauty standards that have dictated how women feel about their bodies for generations.

As a certified coach and survivor, she’s unraveling the myths sold to us by the diet and beauty industries—how they profit from our insecurities and keep us chasing an impossible ideal. From historical body trends to the pressures of social media, Louise explores why we’ve been conditioned to believe our worth is tied to a number on the scale.

She shares personal stories, including the emotional rollercoaster of stepping on the "sad step" every morning, and offers insights on how to break free from body shame and reclaim your self-worth.

This is your invitation to step away from the toxic cycle and embrace your body—not as a trend

but as the strong, worthy, and beautiful vessel that carries you through life.

Tune in, be part of this empowering conversation, and join a community of women lifting each other up!
