Have you heard of mindful eating?

Maybe you struggle with the idea of eating a piece of chocolate 'mindfully' and perhaps it is even reminiscent of your dieting or disordered eating days, where you savoured each mouthful and ate as slowly as you could to try and convince yourself you were having 'enough' food.

But as Ela tells us, mindfulness, mindful eating and movement is about so much more than that. Listen to the episode and let us know your thoughts.

Through the episode, we also refer to Intuitive Eating. By comparison, Intuitive Eating is a self-care eating framework Intuitive Eating which integrates instinct, emotion, and rational thought and was created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. Intuitive Eating is a weight-inclusive, evidence-based model with over 200 studies to date.*

It's that time of year again... As the sun comes out, we are expected to neatly deal with the transition from winter to summer clothes - and our bodies are even more scrutinised than usual and critically assessed as to their suitability to wear bikinis as well as our skin-exposing summer wardrobes.

We had a very personal conversation about straight-size privilege, the issue with bikinis, how transitioning from winter to summer can bring up all sorts of body image worries, how waiting for the 'perfect' body size will mean missing out on living and enjoying life, and much more (we ARE the queens of tangents..)

If any of the things we discussed resonated and you would like some support navigating them, please get in touch!

Creating an inclusive and safe space for everyone to explore movement and work out can be challenging - Trey Joseph took on that challenge and through his own experience of living in a marginalised body as a transgender man and learning how to coach from a trauma informed lens he is DOING JUST THAT!

We had such a great conversation with Trey and chatted with him about

- how he came to his inclusive approach to fitness

- his new coaching programme

- what is needed for people to feel safe in the spaces they exercise in

- why we could all do with a bit of dancing

Trey is a strength and fitness coach, personal trainer, and behaviour change specialist who’s all-in on making exercise enjoyable, accessible, and inclusive.

As a queer, transgender man who transitioned later in life, he knows what it’s like to live in a marginalised body—and how intimidating working out can feel, especially when you're just starting or don’t feel at home in mainstream fitness spaces.

What Trey loves most about working out is how it supports his mental and emotional health, and he wholeheartedly believes that everyone deserves the freedom and resources to move their body in a way that’s right for them. That’s why his coaching style is client-centred, compassion-led, and designed to build confidence, and every workout he coaches is designed to feel safe, fun, and zero-pressure.

He’s one third of the Strength Crew coaching team (along with his wife Emma and dog Dexy), offers online fitness classes as well as 1:1 sessions, and you can chat to him on IG at @trey_strengthcrew
