2025/05/27

This week on Raising Healthy Mothers, we’re going deeper than probiotics and fibre.

Do you often feel snappy, irritable, wired but tired? Do you just assume it’s motherhood, or that you’re perimenopausal? Or maybe you blame it on the fact that you can’t find the time for journalling or mindfulness or whatever you’re supposed to do to manage your stress. As a nutritional therapist I think many of those things could be a factor, but there's also something else going on under the surface that most people don't know about and are never told about – your gut. Often we assume that poor

If you're the type of mum who hates meal planning and feels like it's just another chore on your never-ending to-do list, then you're my kind of person.

Do you ever feel disengaged from your children? Find yourself hiding in the kitchen scrolling on your phone rather than spending quality time with your children? Feel like there's always things to do stopping you from being in the moment? This is what motherhood burnout looks like. Motherhood burnout is real, and no-one talks about it. It’s not just about being tired. It’s about feeling disconnected from your children, like you’re just going through the motions, constantly overwhelmed, and

This week on Raising Healthy Mothers, I’m bringing you something a little different – a short, guided self-massage for your head and face. With half-term in full swing, I know things might feel extra chaotic, so this is your reminder to pause, take a breath, and carve out just five minutes for yourself. You don’t need any special products or equipment – just your hands and a quiet(ish) spot to focus. If you like, you can use a little face cream or oil to help your hands glide smoothly over your

Do you ever feel like breakfast is an afterthought – something you grab on the go or skip in favour of coffee to see you through to lunchtime? It's so easy to let breakfast be th eone meal we forget about or put the least thought in. But this week on Raising Healthy Mothers, I’m digging into how capitalism and the patriarchy have reshaped the way we think about breakfast, pushing convenience over nourishment and making us believe we simply don’t have time to sit down for a proper meal first thing

If you’ve got a fussy eater in your family, you know the struggle: endless refusals, creative sneaking tactics and a constant feeling of guilt that it's somehow your fault. In this episode, I share how my son went from a firm “no” to broccoli for four years to finally enjoying it again –without a battle. The story isn’t just about broccoli, though.

In today’s episode, I finally lift the lid on a topic I've been a little bit scared to talk about – decluttering. Over the years since becoming a mother my house has become very full of.... stuff, and I know it's contributing to a very messy state of mind!

This week on Raising Healthy Mothers, I talk to Kimberly Espinel, an award-winning food photographer, best selling author, Instagram influencer and podcaster. It's no exaggeration to say Kimberly is one of the most influential food content creators on Instagram in the UK. But when she started out over 10 years ago, she was a mum of a young boy, completely unenthusiastic about returning to her previous 9 to 5 job that had her barely spending anytime with her son.
