Signature Reminder:
This episode is exactly why we break the rules. Because health isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s about coming back home to yourself. 💥

New year, same pressure?
In this first episode of 2026, we’re flipping the script on how you reflect on the year that’s been and how you actually set goals that stick.
If you’ve ever found yourself setting the same resolutions year after year (and falling off by February), this episode will show you how to do it differently. We talk about why most New Year goal setting fails, how to reflect without shame or guilt, and what it really takes to create health goals that are realistic, aligned with your values, and sustainable all year round.
This isn’t about “New Year, New Me.”
This is about self-trust, honest reflection, and creating habits that support who you truly want to become.
🎧 What We Cover:
Why typical New Year goal-setting doesn’t work (and how to break the cycle)
How to reflect on 2025 in a way that gives you clarity and direction (not just guilt)
The underrated power of small wins and “failures”
Habits to leave behind and ones to take into 2026
Self-talk, mindset, and identity shifts that make or break your progress
The problem with all-or-nothing thinking (and what to do instead)
How to create a roadmap that aligns with your values, not someone else’s rules
💭 Journal Prompts & Reflection Questions Mentioned:
✔️ What am I most proud of from 2025?
✔️ What habits drained me or felt forced?
✔️ When did I feel most connected to my health and body?
✔️ What expectations or beliefs am I ready to let go of?
✔️ Who do I want to become in 2026 and what needs to shift to support that?
Grab your journal, take some time, and reflect to project.
This episode will help you build momentum in 2026, not burn out by February!

Ever feel like food is always on your mind?
Whether you're obsessing over what you should eat, scanning menus for the "cleanest" option, or beating yourself up for that snack you "shouldn’t" have had, this episode is for you.
In this real and revealing conversation, we break down the true root causes behind food obsession and spoiler alert, it’s not about willpower. We talk restriction, emotional suppression, control, body image pressure, and why your obsession with food is rarely about the food itself.
We’ll help you get curious (not critical) about your eating habits, unpack the deeper unmet needs that drive emotional eating, and offer questions and practices to help you feel more connected, empowered, and grounded around food again.
🔥 What We Cover:
Why food obsession often comes from restriction, not lack of discipline
How emotional eating is a coping mechanism and how to shift it
Why women feel mentally exhausted from food choices and how to reclaim that energy
The difference between binge eating, stress eating & using food for comfort
How perfectionism, body image, and control all get tangled in your plate
📝 Journal Prompts We Mention:
What am I really hungry for right now?
What need is going unmet in this moment?
What do I notice when food thoughts get louder?
What would it look like to nourish the real need underneath my food fixation?
🎙️ Whether you’ve struggled with emotional eating, food rules, or simply want peace around food again, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported and ready to break the rules in the best way.

You might think you’ve left diet culture behind… but what if it’s still hiding in your everyday language?
In this episode of She Breaks the Rules, we dive into the sneaky phrases that seem harmless, or even normal, but are actually rooted in restriction, shame, and toxic beliefs around food, exercise and our bodies.
From “I’ve been so bad this weekend” to “I need to work off those calories”, we’re unpacking the mindset traps that keep you stuck in the all-or-nothing loop, even when you think you're doing better.
We also explore:
The language that reveals how much you actually trust yourself
Why “starting again on Monday” is hurting your progress
What your words are really saying to your kids (yep, they’re listening)
How to reframe common phrases in a way that supports food freedom, self-trust and real health
Why it’s not “just words”, your language holds the key to your beliefs, emotions and behaviour
We’re not here to judge, we’re here to bring awareness, shake things up, and empower you to make changes that actually last.
Because if you want to break free from diet culture…
You’ve got to stop speaking its language.

In this episode of She Breaks the Rules, we're diving deep into the truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I go on HRT?”, or felt overwhelmed by the black-and-white advice all over your social media feed, this is the conversation you need.
Faye and Tarryn bring their trademark real talk and nuance to a topic that’s too often oversimplified. We’re talking symptoms, misconceptions, risks, benefits and most importantly, how to make informed decisions about your body, your hormones, and your health.
You’ll learn:
What bioidentical HRT actually is (and how it differs from synthetic options)
The most common symptoms HRT can help with and where it won’t help unless you’ve built a healthy foundation first
Why your lifestyle, stress, sleep and training habits matter just as much as hormones
How to have a smarter, more empowered conversation with your GP about treatment
A real client story showing the powerful impact of the right support
This isn’t about being “for” or “against” HRT, it’s about breaking the rules of oversimplified health advice and giving women the tools to take back control.
🔥 Takeaway Truth:
HRT is a tool, not a fix-all. Before reaching for the patch or cream, make sure the big rocks of your health, nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, are in place. Then, get informed and advocate for yourself.
✨ Ready to take back control of your health, with or without HRT? Tune in now. And share this with a friend who needs real answers, not Instagram sound bites.
