  • Eat Well, Nourish Deeply, Heal Fully with Charlotte Price
    Feb 27 2026

    In this episode, I’m joined by Charlotte Price, Health and Wellness Coach, Yoga Teacher and founder of Eat.Nourish.Heal.

    Charlotte’s ethos is simple yet powerful: when we eat well, we nourish our bodies and when we are truly nourished, we create the foundations to heal whatever we are facing in life.

    Together, we explore food, mindset, movement, and the cultural narratives that have shaped how so many women view their bodies and their worth.

    What We Talk About
    1. Why New Year’s resolutions so often fall away
    2. The damaging 90s diet culture narrative that left many women believing they were “fat”
    3. Shifting motivation from appearance-based goals to long-term health and vitality
    4. What “eating well” actually means (and what it doesn’t)
    5. How to make healthier choices without feeling deprived
    6. The importance of mindset in sustainable wellbeing
    7. Why diet culture continues to create confusion and guilt
    8. Moving your body in a manageable, sustainable way
    9. The benefits of yoga and Pilates for strength, mobility and nervous system support
    10. The invisible pressure many women carry
    11. Contributing financially while still being expected to carry the emotional and domestic load
    12. Guilt and shame around taking time for yourself
    13. Why self-care isn’t selfish but rather vital

    Key Reflections from the Conversation
    1. Health is about longevity, not punishment
    2. Nourishment supports resilience — physically and emotionally
    3. Sustainable habits are more powerful than extreme bursts of motivation
    4. You don’t need to “beast yourself” in the gym to be strong
    5. Guilt around self-care is cultural — not personal failure
    6. When women prioritise their wellbeing, everyone benefits

    A Central Theme

    This episode gently challenges the idea that we must earn our rest or justify our health choices. Instead, we explore how nourishment — in every sense — is a form of self-respect.

  • Resilient to the Point of Breaking: Menopause, Identity & Finding Support with Caroline Milne
    Jan 31 2026
    In this deeply honest and important episode, I’m joined by Caroline Milne, founder of Unmenopaused. Caroline is a Menopause Champion and coach with over 20 years’ experience in nursing, now dedicated to supporting women — and the men in their lives — through perimenopause and menopause via 1:1 coaching, small groups, and workplace education.This conversation explores what happens when grief, stress, hormonal change and identity loss collide — and why so many women reach breaking point without realising menopause is part of the picture.What We Talk About in This EpisodeHow Caroline went from loving her nursing career to feeling unable to function in itLosing a strong sense of identity and being forced to reinvent herselfCaring for parents during serious illness while navigating griefEarly perimenopause symptoms that went unrecognisedWorking as a nurse during Covid and the impact of sustained stressHeart palpitations, joint pain and a long period of misdiagnosisBeing treated for fibromyalgia before questioning the diagnosisStarting HRT and finding some stability — before life shifted againSupporting her Mum through an aortic aneurysm diagnosis and then grieving her lossRising stress, long hours, missed meals and carrying too much aloneChanging jobs with hope — and then feeling like a completely different personErratic bleeding, mood changes and worsening perimenopause symptomsThe moment Caroline realised she could no longer continue on without supportCaroline’s StoryCaroline shares her journey through years of layered pressure: losing her Dad to dementia, supporting her Mum after a stroke and later a life-threatening diagnosis, navigating complex family dynamics, and working on the frontline during the pandemic — all while unknowingly moving through perimenopause.By the time she began a new role in sexual and reproductive health, she no longer recognised herself.“I didn’t feel like the person I’d been in the interview… I felt guilty, like I’d given them someone they weren’t expecting.”Just two weeks into the role, it became clear her Mum was approaching end of life. The combined weight of grief, stress and worsening perimenopause symptoms led Caroline to make the life-changing decision to end her nursing career.Key Themes & InsightsMenopause, anxiety, grief and relationship stress don’t exist in neat boxesAnxiety can appear during menopause even if it’s never been an issue beforeMany women don’t recognise what’s happening — and so don’t get supportStrength and resilience can become harmful without helpCaroline was told she was “resilient to the point of self-destruction”“I thought I could just keep going. I’m a nurse. I’m strong. It never occurred to me that it would break me.”We also talk about how Caroline wasn’t able to care for herself — but equally, those around her didn’t recognise how much she was struggling. This highlights why education is so vital, not just for women, but for families, workplaces and communities.Why This Work MattersThere is currently very limited menopause support available locallyIn Wiltshire, there are only six free menopause support groups — three of which Caroline has set up or helped to establishMen need education and space to learn how to support their partnersCaroline runs mixed groups where men can ask questions openly and safelyModalities like breathwork and sound healing — often dismissed as “woo woo” — can be powerful tools in times of extreme stressDuring the episode, we guide listeners through a simple breathwork example to help calm the nervous system in moments of overwhelm.What’s Coming UpWe also share details of our joint retreat day at Launceston Farm on 17th May 2026, where we’ll be bringing together education, breathwork, sound healing and support in a safe, nurturing space.About UnmenopausedUnmenopaused supports women (and the men in their lives) through perimenopause and menopause via:1:1 coachingSmall group programmesMixed-gender education spacesWorkplace workshops for staff wellbeingConnect with CarolineUnmenopaused WebsiteJoin us at Launceston Farm for our day retreat - Still Me, Just ShiftingConnect with LilliSing To Heal WebsiteJoin the Wiltshire Wellbeing Facebook Group

  • Community, Purpose & Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Caroline Cary
    Jan 17 2026

    In this episode, I’m joined by Caroline Cary, founder of Eat Nourish Love — a wellness PR platform encompassing events, podcasting and community-building. Caroline is also an extraordinary fundraiser, having helped raise close to £4 million for charities, and has long been known for bringing people together for causes that matter.

    This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of community, purpose, courage and the quiet moments that shape the path we eventually walk.

    What We Talk About in This Episode
    1. The importance of community and pulling together to support friends and neighbours
    2. How Caroline’s background in fundraising and event organising shaped her life’s work
    3. Training in cooking with Prue Leith and Carolyn Aldergrove
    4. Life as an army wife, moving home 15 times, and home-educating her children
    5. Her daughter’s serious eye condition and how it changed Caroline’s relationship with health and healing
    6. The moment Eat Nourish Love was born during lockdown
    7. The meaning behind Eat, Nourish, Love — food, love, Reiki and reflexology
    8. Why so many people are given opportunities but don’t take the leap
    9. How the people around us make brave decisions possible
    10. The shift away from “guru culture” toward co-collaboration in wellbeing
    11. Purpose, anxiety, overwhelm and the question: Who am I and why am I here?
    12. Why there is no end game — only a journey we get to shape

    The Heart of Eat Nourish Love

    Eat Nourish Love was created from lived experience and deep care. Caroline shares how training in Reiki and reflexology to support her daughter, combined with a sense of being “handed something by the universe,” inspired her to take the leap into business during lockdown.

    Community sits at the centre of everything Caroline does — not just in wellness, but in fundraising, events and everyday life.

    Key Reflections from the Conversation
    1. None of us do anything alone
    2. Vision without people goes nowhere
    3. Collaboration creates stronger, more sustainable impact
    4. Purpose gives direction, even in uncertain times
    5. Progress doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful
    6. We all struggle — just in different ways
    7. Grace matters more than judgement

    Quotes from the Episode

    Caroline:

    “You can have the vision, but without the right people it doesn’t go anywhere.”“If you can bring a little bit of progress into your life, it allows you to take a step forward and keep following your gut.”

    Final words from Caroline:

    “If you can do something in the morning for yourself and make it a non-negotiable, it makes a huge difference to your mental state.”Connect with Caroline / Eat Nourish Love
