Today I have a returning guest to the show - Marcelle Rose.
Marcelle is a BANT & CNHC Registered Nutritionist, specialising in eating disorders and author of best-selling book The Binge Freedom Method. She empowers women to overcome binge eating, bulimia, and restrictive eating behaviours enabling them to reclaim their lives through a unique synergy of nutritional therapy, eating psychology, and mindset coaching.
Marcelle works with clients across the UK and internationally, and also supports women through her free Facebook community, The Food Freedom Collective. In addition to her client work, she trains other professionals in this field, and delivers talks and workshops to students, teachers and parents in schools.
In today's episode, Marcelle is going to talk all about eating disorders and disordered eating in mid-life. She explores the unique challenges of midlife including perimenopause, hormonal changes, emotional challenges and body image shifts.
Marcelle also explores the impact of GLP1-medication and the potential to misuse or over-use this, in an attempt to gain control of food and body. She gives specific nutritional advice for to support women going through this life phase. It's an episode packed with wisdom and value.

In healing, you might be tempted to avoid looking at the past, but rather seeking out tools and strategies to support change. The problem is that this change is not then long lasting as many of your old patterns and ways of being are embedded in your unconscious. Part of healing is about making these old patterns conscious and processing and healing from old emotional wounds.
In this episode, I explore: -
1. Dealing with the reality of your childhood experiences, rather than holding onto a fantasy version.
2. Understanding where projection is showing up in your current relationships and sabotaging them.
3. Dealing with emotional triggers from the past. Clearing old wounds and moving on with clarity.

In this episode, I explore shifting identity in eating disorder recovery, focusing on James Clear's model from his life changing book, Atomic Habits.
James talks about three levels of change including: 1) Surface level outcomes 2) Processes and 3) Identity.
For sustained changed to occur, someone's identity needs to shift. I hope that you find it helpful.

Today, I have a very special guest. I’m talking to Geneen Roth. Many of you will have heard of Geneen and likely love her writing and teaching.
Geneen has written eleven books, including multiple New York Times bestsellers. She has led workshops and retreats attended by thousands of students. She has appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, and many others and most importantly has helped shape how multiple generations understand emotional eating, so people who once felt trapped, now feel free.
Geneen’s work has long examined the relational and emotional roots of disordered eating. Her new book, LOVE FINALLY, is out on April 21st, 2026 and it explores the lifelong mother daughter bond and how early attachment patterns can shape experiences of hunger, control, self-worth, and care, often resurfacing during midlife or in other developmental transitions.
In today’s conversation, I’m going to explore with Geneen how inherited relational dynamics intersect with eating disorder patterns. Geneen will talk more about her own journey of healing, particularly in her relationship with her mother, and how today, she has truly shifted old distorted conclusions and stories held onto from the past, which were unconsciously shaping her life and worth. To now finding a place of profound healing and peace today.
If you're struggling with your own healing, with difficult emotions surfacing from the past, tangled up in old stories and beliefs. If you're longing to escape from the old patterns and to truly move towards a place of forgiveness, without shortcutting the vital healing. Then this episode is one for you. I hope that you enjoy it.
