What can we learn from the lion king? You have got to leave the past behind you. Often we continue to beat ourselves up over all the past mistakes we have made. The thing is.. Leaving our past behind us is a key part of the process ( I don't for one moment believe its easy for everyone, but I do believe its possible). Today I wanted to offer you one small way to start today. Think of a time you hurt yourself recently and see yourself as a small child standing in front of you.. Offer yourself this simple sentence “I am sorry for what I have done, and I hope that you will forgive me. I will do better with what I know now” This allows us to let go, move forward and make new choices.💛 #forgiveness #innerchild #wellbeingjourney #mindfulthoughts #mindfulnesspractice #sayingnoisokay #thebreath #perfectionism #holisticliving #motherhood #trustinyourself #setboundaries #mindbodyconnection

Have you ever actually taken a moment to pause? To pause and see if the actions that you are taking are in line with your values? Often when people are overwhelmed, we instantly go to the things we have always done. But have you ever thought about what if those things are not working for you? We can always relearn. We can relearn how we do things. How we manage our own thoughts. In the wise words of one of my clients…. “When we have peace in our minds it makes life so much easier”❤️ We dive deep into your beliefs and your values inside my coaching program so that you can begin to choose actions that are actually aligned to you. If what you are doing is not working, if what you are doing is not bringing you joy, peace, health… Then maybe its time to look at things from a different lens. In the wise word of Einstein “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” You can take a listen to this cracking episode with Sinead by clicking on the link in my body - The Confident and Eating Podcast. #confidencecoach #settingboundaries #autopilot #busymomlife #intuitiveeating #selfcarehabits #healthpromotion #mindfulmoments #mindfuleatingtips #mindfulness #balanceisthekey #fulltimemum #highachievers #intuitiveeatingcoach #irishlifecoach #healingjourney

I know that you are worried about this… That if you start intuitive eating you are going to eat all the chips, pizza and ‘bad stuff’ The things about this is… You WILL get to a place where you actually begin to feel in your body that you don’t want that food and you don’t like how it makes you feel. But for a while you may need to eat MORE of those off limits foods that you have deprived for so long… This might last a few weeks or a few months but it won’t last forever You will get to a place where you can be in tune with what your body needs. Attuned Eating is about choosing to eat being aware of your hunger level, emotional state and what you need in that moment. Its all about connecting in with your body telling you what it wants to eat, not your mind. Don’t have a clue where to start?👇 This is exactly what you will learn how to do in my self paced program - The Confident Eating Solution 💛 You will have access to all the trainings needed along with weekly accountability sessions so that you can get to a place where your live is not ruled by diets and restriction. Too good to be true? I assure you its not!

If the list of things you need to do to look after yourself is overwhelming you… Know this It is causing you to feel like you are failing and procrastinating so that is why you are putting ALL of those things off. So you carry on with the way you are going! And its not your fault. I know because I have been there too, I didn’t have the time or the energy to do all of those things to help my health. My advice?👇🏼 Sit down and take a look at that list. It may be sorting out your sleep, moving more, making time for connection - whatever is on that list. All of those things are things you could do to help, but if they are really overwhelming you, then you need to look at: A) What really matters to YOU most out of those B) What can you do with what energy you have right now. If you are stuck and you don’t have any idea how to go about finding out what matters to you and what works for YOU… Then let me help. I have created my breakkhrough clarity sessions to help you figure out what action to take to get you started. These sessions are designed to help you get out of that place of feeling stuck and overwhelmed… To getting super clear on your values - so that you can start choosing health goals that are aligned with you🥳 From one busy woman, to another.

3 tips for when you are trying a new recipe👇🏼 If you are anything like me, you can quickly get tired of the same thing each week. Spaghetti bolognese anyone?🍝 But sometimes it can be hard to know where to begin with trying something new. Here are my top 3 tips when trying out a new recipe👇🏼 1. I choose something I know I can adapt for the family, but that I really like the look of. 2. I leave the recipe book open for the week, and I read the recipe a few times before the day I cook it. Remember we are home cooks so having a flow of the recipe will help when you feel confused, emotional or stressed. 3. I remind myself that it’s ok if I am the only person who likes this, it’s ok if I don’t even like it. Trying new recipes can be hard when you are building your relationship with food, so learning to speak to yourself kindly is a key skill that no chef is going to teach you in the kitchen! I am always looking for new, tasty recipes to try out at home. Let me know in the comments below any recipes you have tried lately and loved!✨ For more tips on how to incorporate intuitive eating into your life - click on the link in my bio to join my weekly email list where I share tips and videos on intuitive eating. #intuitiveeating #recipehack #raisingintuitiveeaters #intuitiveeatingofficial #intuitiveeatingjourney #lifecoachforwomen #irishlifecoach #nutritionaltherapist #relationshipwithfood #foodfreedom #foodjourney #newrecipesuccess #foodee #intuitiveeatingvillage #easyrecipesathome #recipesharing #kitchenhacks

Are you feeling stress around food during Christmas and New Year? At a time when food is a big part of our celebrations - the parties, the office treats, the Christmas day dinner… This stress can, for some people, suck away some of the joy of the season, and send some of us into anxiety thinking about weight gain and ‘ruining’ their diet.

Unpopular opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ Stress management is just a bandaid solution There is a constant flow of stress coming at you at all times as Mums.. Work, the kids, social obligations, the home, maybe minding our parents.. And we can do the breathing exercises, get the massages and go for the walks But they are most effective when we look internally and work on what exactly is the message behind these stressors? What is our body trying to tell us?✨ The messages that are coming through - we have to stop and pay attention and hone in on these Stressors are the problem, not the stress What are your thoughts?

Let's break the cycle ladies! When you break the cycle and reject diet culture - things happen that you never thought possible. Women I work with learn to believe in their worth, beyond the food.

My top tip? Fake it till you make it.Sometimes the best thing is to act like you know what you are doing. Doesn’t your body feel more in control when it’s like this. Someday it will all make sense, for now laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears. And never forget to remind yourself that you are doing amazing ✨#intuitiveeatingprinciples #nondietcoach #nondietcommunity #weightinclusive #sickofdieting #allfoodsfit#normalizenormalbodies #allbodiesaregoodbodies

It takes time and commitment. But just like this lady I had the pleasure of working alongside who achieved it - you can too. I can be your co-pilot. I can help you do this. Are you ready?Message me the word ‘ready’ to work with me on my 1:1 programme this Winter 🍁or Email me: [email protected]

Wanting to change tells me you have passion inside…I know there is possibly discomfort there too. But wanting to change means I know you are open to transformation, evolving and I am so glad you are here evolving with me.I can help you to find that magic that I know you have and desire thats in your heart-Take that chance ✨

A problem I see with dieting and following the health trends is that you loose pleasure.Eating is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Eating for pleasure not only fuels the body but the mind as well.You loose that vital human connection when we reduce food down to just protein, carbs and fats.A disordered relationship with food can add stress, anxiety or guilt to a meal and we miss out on that pleasure when we put food on a pedestal. Addressing our relationship with food can take food from an enemy to a very good friend.

I sat amongst a group of women recently who said “don’t look at what I am eating” I don’t tell you what to eat and I certainly won’t make you feel less than because you don’t love “healthy” food. I BELIEVE in the power of your thoughts. A stressed body won’t think well, digest well, live well. I will help you to transform HOW you think about your eating, body and way beyond that your life, your relationship, your boundaries, your worth, your progress. And if you are wondering what you get…look at the message above again. Ready to start working together? Drop me a DM with the word ‘READY’ , email me [email protected] or head to the link in my bio.

Self compassion… Not something we got taught in schools is it? We may be able to offer a friend some words of compassion when they are struggling..but what about ourselves? We often tend to focus on our failures. Shame ourselves for ‘falling off the wagon’. The inner critic rears its head. There is a way to challenge that inner critic, and see our failures as opportunity. An opportunity for growth and to give ourselves some well needed self compassion. But a lot of us don’t know how to do that, because its not something we learn unless we go out and practice ourselves. It dosent happen overnight.. Let me know below 👇🏼 is self compassion something you think should be taught in schools? #foodee #selfcompassion #selfresilience #healingjourney #selflovejouney #intuitiveeating #compassion #dietculturedetox #healingjouney #bodyneutrality #innercritic #mindset #findcompassion #bethechange #selfacceptance #selfacceptancejourney #watcherofyourthoughts #fridaythoughts #behaviourchange #certifiedintuitiveeatingcounselor

There was a moment a number of years back… that I discovered that food was not the answer to my health troubles, to anyones. Food is important but there are so many other factors. I was deadlocked in all or nothing thinking… There was a moment that I felt great fear. I had invested so much energy into educating myself and now it felt like we were breaking up. But we didn’t break up, we just grew together in a way that feels right for me. (Kind of helps that it’s backed by serious science and so much wisdom of clinical experience). Leaning into my curiosity, and headstrong determination, I carried on my mission and took in information from many disciplines. Every one of these have helped me to understand how to support health in a way that first feels right to me but also gives my clients achieve health goals in a way that is way deeper than appearance, body shape or diet plans. In my work, it’s like a pick and mix. We pull from all concepts from 👉intuitive eating 👉mindset coaching 👉transactional analysis 👉CBT 👉breath work 👉body image coaching 👉mindfulness. I know how to make it easy. I hold the belief that every woman can find true health. When you are ready, I am here. 💕 A few things about me… 🗻The best travel experience I had was our hike to Everest base camp 16 years ago now 💜 I love, really love House of the Dragon and New Amsterdam. 🌊The sea lights my heart up, as cheesy as that may sound, I love the sound, smell and feel of it 👩‍✈️I wanted to be a pilot when I was younger. 👩‍👦I was a full time Mammy for 10 years that made me who I am today but also drove me bananas.

Just a reminder🙋You are worthy of time for yourself this week.Give yourself compassion, and remind yourself of the amazing job you and your body are doing everyday. Denise #foodee #reminder #selfcompassion#selfcompassionjourney #intuitiveeatingcoach

Every decision in life starts with a choice. A choice to look at things differently. A choice to wake up and know how to respond when your daughter asks about her changing body. A choice to wake up and know how to respond to family comments about weight. A choice to know that your not defined any more by that number you see on the scales. Neither yourself, or your daughters and sons. A choice to raise your family in a way which feels empowering.We all are guilty of thinking the worst aren’t we?We jump to the conclusion that it will all be a disaster and it will never work out. And I don't blame you..diet culture throws that at us because diets are ultimarley set up to fail - they are not sustainable. I was the same..Then I took a chance, and my world changed.I have no regrets at making that small step forward to have a better relationship with food for not only myself, but those around me.Its an investment in yourself. We don’t think twice about investing in a new pair of shoes when they get worn down. Or when the car / phone packs in.But when we are at our wits end..are we ready to invest in ourselves?You have the power to and ask yourself, what if it all works out?Women who work with me often say they wish they had started sooner.Drop me an email [email protected] or send me a message. #intuitiveeatingforchildren #intuitiveeatinglife #intuitiveeatingvillage #intuitiveeatingfundamentals #nodiets #intuitiveeatingcoach #healthpreneur #onlinenutritioncoach #nomorediets #foodfreedom #antidietculture #foodee #eatbetternotless #intuitiveeatingkids

“Stand out. And watch yourself create a new reality” These are the moves women who work with me are making. Life still throws them the stress. But how they handle it is very,very different. Just a snippet of my 3 day live ‘raising intuitive eaters’ over on Facebook 🎉 If you missed it, drop me a message with the word ‘replay’ Keep posted over the coming days…. Denise

Listen up Mammies, I am offering a solution that I really think will help you.. We all want the best for our kids, and to raise them to have a healthy relationship with food.. But how do we know we are doing it right? They Key to it all is supporting a productive and healthy relationship with food with yourself first, because YOU are the key ingredient If you are not sure where to start with it all… Then THIS is the event for you! Just click on the link here to register https://www.subscribepage.com/webinar_raisingintuitiveeaters Together we will be breaking down what I have learned and what I have experienced throughout my own journey and what I have learned with my clients! I look forward to seeing you there! Share and tag if you know someone who would benefit from this!

Self Confidence is a super power.. Once you believe in yourself Magic starts happening🪄 When I think of someone that oodles with self confidence, I think of someone who’s energy greets me head on before I have even heard them speak. My clients usually say to me that THEY WANT TO LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES. And they are planning to do so many productive things to do that. 👉However one key issue I see is that the focus is on the action…not the thoughts. And it’s impossible to change that low self confidence by trying to do more. Doing something good for ourselves, for both our body and our mind, can help build our self-esteem. Thinking DIFFERENTLY is what is going to produce the MOTIVATION to keep ✅doing what you are doing ✅to take on new challenges ✅to be open to new possibilities. It gives you a sense of accomplishment to know that you're doing something that helps YOU. 🙏How amazing would it feel if you heard more often from yourself that you are worthy, you are enough, you are good enough? Being confident is the catalyst for YOUR growth. Work with me to learn how to be truly confident👇🏼 I am now enrolling for my August programme, book in for a free chat to hear more about how I can support YOU #intuitive #intuitiveeating #intuitiveeatingireland #intuititveeatingcoach #intuitiveeatingjourney #confidence #mondaymotivation #mondayreminder #personallessons #lifelesson #intuitiveeatingcommunity #healthcoaching #irishnutritionist #mindset #higherself #monday
