The Healthy Diary

Welcome to the very first episode of 2026 🎉If you’re starting this year telling yourself “this is finally my year”... the year you lose weight, feel confident in your body, and do it without restrictions or burnout, then this episode is exactly where you need to be.In today’s episode, I’m not telling you what to eat.I’m not giving you another meal plan or rule to follow.Instead, I’m diving into the real reason most women stay stuck: mindset.After working with 800+ women, I can confidently say this… weight loss isn’t a food problem. It’s a mindset problem. And if you don’t address it, you’ll likely find yourself back here again in January next year… frustrated, exhausted, and starting over.So in this episode, I break down the 3 biggest mindset blocks I see keeping high-achieving women stuck on the weight loss rollercoaster, and exactly how to shift them so 2026 can truly be different.In this episode, I cover:✨ Why “I’ve tried everything and nothing works for me” is keeping you stuck (and how this belief silently leads to self-sabotage)✨ The truth about waiting for the “perfect time” and why this mindset guarantees weight regain every time life gets busy✨ Why you’re NOT inconsistent or lacking willpower ….you’ve just been trying to force yourself to stick to approaches that make you miserable✨ How real consistency actually feels (and why it becomes effortless when your plan fits your life)✨ The powerful question you should ask instead of “How do I stay consistent?”✨ Why sustainable weight loss requires mindset, nutrition, and lifestyle… not just food rulesIf this episode resonated with you…If you’re ready to stop starting over,If you’re done blaming yourself,And if you want to lose 8–15 kilos in the next 16 weeks using a proven, sustainable approach…I’ve officially opened my January Coaching Program, and spots fill quickly every single year.This is for women who want real change, not another short-term diet.Ready to take the next step?Apply for coaching: HEREFollow Angela on Instagram: HERELet’s make 2026 the year you finally do this the right way — with support, strategy, and an approach that fits your real life 💛

Welcome to the final episode of 2025…. how wild is that?! Before anything else… thank you. Whether you've been here all year or you’re brand new to the podcast, I’m so grateful that you’re tuning in.This year, I’ve received so many messages from women who’ve completely transformed their bodies and their relationship with food just by listening to this podcast. One listener even lost 14 kilos in around 10 weeks implementing what she learned here, so yes, what I teach works, as long as you execute and stay consistent.And because I know you’re already thinking ahead to 2026 and wondering “How can I finally lose these 10–20 kilos for good?”, this episode gives you the exact clarity and roadmap you’ve been craving.If you’re tired of starting and stopping, if you’re sick of losing the same 10 kilos over and over, and if you refuse to enter 2027 in the same position you’re in today… this episode is your reset button.Here’s what I cover in today’s episode:✨ Why weight loss should NOT be your lifestyleSo many women feel stuck because they’ve lived in “weight loss mode” for years — dieting, tracking, starting over every Monday. But weight loss is meant to be a temporary season, not your identity. You were not meant to diet forever. Your lifestyle should be maintenance, freedom, and confidence — not restriction.✨ Why rapid fat loss sabotages your metabolismAround this time of year, you’re bombarded with ads for keto, shakes, Jenny Craig, 800-calorie plans, and other rapid weight-loss gimmicks.Yes, they “work.”But you lose the wrong kind of weight — mostly muscle — and gain back only fat… leaving you with a slower metabolism and feeling worse than before.2026 is not the year for aggressive dieting. It’s the year for smart, realistic, metabolic-friendly fat loss.THE 3-PHASE STRATEGY TO LOSE 10–20 KILOS IN 2026 (AND KEEP IT OFF FOREVER)This is the same evidence-based approach I’ve been refining since 2018, the one that has helped women lose 8, 12, 16, even 22 kilos sustainably.⚡ Phase 1: The Fat Loss Phase (12–16 weeks)⚡ Phase 2: The Metabolic Rebuild⚡ Phase 3: The Maintenance PhaseYou Can Be 20 Kilos Lighter by the End of 2026If you follow this 3-phase strategy: fat loss → metabolic rebuild → maintenance — you can lose the weight AND keep it off for life.Not by dieting. Not by restricting. Not by living at the gym. But by supporting your metabolism, your hormones, and your lifestyle as a busy, high-achieving woman.I have been perfecting this method for eight years now, and I can tell you with full confidence:It works. Every time. When you commit.✨ If You’re Ready to Lose 8–16 Kilos in the Next 16 Weeks…My January coaching intake is officially OPEN, and January is always my busiest month of the year. Spots go fast (last January, we filled 13 spots in the first week).If you want a personalised, flexible, non-restrictive fat loss strategy that fits into your busy life…👉 Apply for coaching: HERE2026 can be the year you finally stop yo-yo dieting, but only if you take action.

Today’s episode is a deeply personal one… and honestly, one that I knew I needed to record not just for you, but for me too.This is my first Christmas without my mum.If you’re new here, my mum passed away in June this year after battling terminal cancer, and it's been one of the toughest seasons of my life. My mum wasn’t just my mum… she was my best friend, my biggest supporter, and the person I told absolutely everything to. And because she loved Christmas more than anyone I know, this time of year has been feeling especially heavy.In this episode, I’m opening up about how I’m navigating grief during the holidays and sharing the exact things I’m doing to take care of myself, things that might help you too if you're going through a similar season.Grief can feel incredibly lonely…but it shouldn't be. You are not alone, my friend.Here’s what I share in this episode:1. Allowing myself to actually feel my griefFor a long time I kept myself busy, distracted, and “strong.” But grief doesn’t disappear because we ignore it - it builds up.2. How I’m honouring my mum this ChristmasBefore my mum got sick, she had a whole Europe trip planned — Spain, Italy, Switzerland… all the places she dreamed of visiting. She never got to go.So this year, I’m going for her.3. Changing my environment instead of staying homeThis was something my mum told me to do — to spend my first Christmas somewhere different, surrounded by family, creating new memories and giving myself a bit of emotional breathing room.So I’m in Italy with my auntie, my cousin, and their new baby — and it’s exactly where I need to be.A message from my heart to yoursIf this is your first Christmas without someone you love — or your fifth, or your tenth — please know this:There is no “right” way to grieve.You are allowed to feel joy and sadness at the same time.You are allowed to cry while wrapping presents.You are allowed to set boundaries, to rest, to do less, to take care of yourself.You are allowed to change traditions… or keep them… or create new ones.Your grief is valid. Your love is valid. And you are not alone.This episode is dedicated to anyone who is hurting this season — especially those of you living abroad, far away from your families, or navigating a “first” without someone special.If this spoke to you, or you know someone who needs to hear it, please share this episode with them. You might help someone feel seen.Thank you, my friend, for listening — and for being here with me through 91 episodes. I’m so grateful for you.Sending you so much love this holiday season.See you next week. 💛Links & Resources:Apply for coaching: HEREFollow Angela on Instagram: HERE

Today, I’m diving into five of the most common weight-loss myths that I STILL hear from incredibly smart, capable, high-achieving women every single day…. myths that I want you to leave behind before stepping into the new year.If you’re a busy professional woman or business owner over 35 who’s tried every diet under the sun but still feels stuck… this episode is truly going to shift your perspective.Let’s break these myths down so you can walk into 2025 with a refreshed mindset, better habits, and a body that finally feels supported, not punished.✨ In This Episode, I Talk About:1. “I need to eat less to lose weight.”Skipping meals and undereating is one of the FASTEST ways to slow your metabolism, trigger cravings, and end the day elbow-deep in the pantry. This isn’t a willpower issue… it’s a blood sugar issue.2. “I have to work out every day to see results.”Nope. You can lose weight without stepping foot in the gym.Most of my clients lose 8–15 kg in 16 weeks focusing on nutrition + simple daily movement like walking.3. “Eating healthy = fat loss.”This one surprises so many women. You can eat the healthiest, most wholesome meals, homemade, organic, nutrient-dense, and STILL not lose weight if your portions or structure aren’t aligned with a calorie deficit.4. “Carbs are the enemy.”This myth needs to stay in 2010. Carbs support your hormones, energy, brain function, and metabolism, especially if you're 35+.5. “I just need more willpower.”Willpower is NOT your problem, your systems are. High-achieving women are already disciplined in every other area of life… except with food, where most people are winging it.My Final ReminderYou do NOT have to enter another year playing by diet culture’s outdated rules.You can feel healthy, confident, and in control of your food without restriction, without tracking, and without living in the gym.And if this episode made you feel seen, please take 10 seconds to leave a review on Apple or rate the show on Spotify.

“The Worst Weight Loss Advice I Ever Received (And What You Should Do Instead)”In today’s episode, I’m breaking down a piece of advice that so many women are given… advice that sounds empowering on the surface, but actually keeps you stuck, overwhelmed, and nowhere closer to feeling healthy and confident in your body.That advice?“Just listen to your body.”Now… I love this concept. It can be powerful. But if you’ve spent years dieting, skipping meals, overeating at night, ignoring your hunger, or feeling completely disconnected from your body…Then “just listen to your body” is NOT helpful — and honestly, it can make things worse.This episode comes straight from my personal experience (and many conversations with clients). I’ll walk you through why this advice backfires for so many high-achieving women, and what you actually need to rebuild before intuitive eating becomes helpful and natural.In This Episode, I Cover:1. Why “just listen to your body” keeps you stuckIf you’ve ignored hunger cues for years, eaten on autopilot, binged at night, or relied on willpower…Your body’s signals are going to feel confusing, unreliable, or non-existent.2. The missing step before you can “listen to your body”Before intuition comes awareness + structure.3. How to rebuild trust with your bodyStart with structure, build awareness, and then your body will start communicating clearly again … without willpower, without restriction, and without starting over every Monday.If this episode helped you…Please subscribe, leave a quick review, or share this episode with a friend or sister who needs it.
