#175: You’re Not Afraid of Calories. You’re Afraid of What They Mean
Wed Feb 04 2026
If you struggle with an eating disorder, chances are you've thought about calories as 'something scary', something to be limited and something negative. However, I argue that you aren't actually scared of calories at all. You're scared of what they mean to you. And by not tackling the fear of calories, but rather the fear of that what calories signify to you, you can take steps in your recovery. So what do calories actually mean to you, and how do you tackle that fear? Tune in!
I have new spots available for my coaching programs! And Alongside my popular short-term programs, the Mini Boost and Single Boost Sessions, I now offer something new: the Single Boost Session Pro.
This is a two-session coaching package designed to give you clarity, structure, and a personalised plan of action.
Before the first session, you’ll complete a short homework assignment so I can really understand where you are and what you’re struggling with. In Session One (Week 1), we go through everything together and I walk you through a tailored plan of action created just for you.
In Session Two (Week 2), we reconnect to review how things went — what helped, what still feels sticky, and what you need next. We can also flip the structure depending on your needs — the goal is always clarity, support, and momentum.
This two-session coaching format is called the Single Boost Session Pro. There’s no landing page yet, but if you’d like to apply, you can book under “Single Boost Session” on my website and simply mention you want the Pro option.
If you’re ready for something tangible — without committing to long-term coaching — this may be the support you’ve been looking for.
If you would like to see my method written down, create your own action plan, and join a support group, then be sure to grab yourself a copy of my guide! If you want to stay up to date and be the first to hear when I get back into coaching full-time or some exciting program's I'm still planning on launching, be sure to follow me on Instagram!
So be sure to check out my website and sign-up or contact me. You can also always DM me on Instagram! If you have any questions that you would like me to answer on the podcast, you can fill out the form on my website, or send me a voice-note on SpeakPipe!
