How I'm Approaching the Festive Season as a Former...

The Emma Guns Show ·

2025/11/21

‘Tis the season of excess and, for many years, I would fall head-first into trays of canapés, tubs of chocolates and large bowls of steaming hot Christmas pudding and custard. It's the time of year when food is everywhere and it's as though we've been given license to loosen our belts and enjoy as much as possible. Which is fine, of course, unless you struggle with over-eating, binge-eating, weight management or just lose yourself in all the tantalising delights of festive far and find yourself

I Can't Stay Out of the Fridge

The Emma Guns Show ·

2025/11/05

This week, I’m talking aboutfood noise... That constant chatter about what, when, and how much to eat. The kind that has you circling the kitchen even when you’re not really hungry.I share how a simple early dinner (yes, an enormous salad out of a mixing bowl) completely quieted the noise in my head, and what that moment taught me about feeding myself properly instead of fighting myself.As someone in recovery from binge eating disorder, I also touch on how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have changed

The Uniform of Success: When Ambition Becomes Aesthetic

The Emma Guns Show ·

2025/11/03

Have you noticed that success has started to look… uniform? The slick-back bun, the gold hoops, the structured blazer, and the calm, composed tone of someone who’s perfectly 'aligned'. In this week’s episode, I look at how ambition has become an aesthetic, how this new era of women is blending success with balance, and what that says about the pressures we still carry.From the 1980s dream of 'having it all' to Gen Z’s obsession with boundaries and self-care, I explore whether this polished image of

Wellness of Weirdness? Who gets to be 'well'?

The Emma Guns Show ·

2025/10/27

Recently, we talked about how wellness has become performative. How it was more aboutlookingserene than actuallyfeelingor being it.This week, I’m taking that idea further. Because wellness isn’t just performative, I think it has becomeexclusive.It’s a club with an unspoken dress code, a price tag, and a very specific aesthetic.From £300 yoga mats to Alo tracksuits and the sacred Stanley cup, the modern wellness world isn’t about health, it’s aboutbelonging.We’ll talk about:Why 'inclusive' wellness

The Emma Guns Show ·

2025/10/17

This week, I did something I’ve never done before - I walked out of a sound bath halfway through. Then I went to a breathwork session that felt eerily like a cult. Both experiences made me realise how far modern wellness has drifted from its purpose.In this episode, I unpack why so many wellness practices now feel performative rather than healing; more about being seen to be “working on yourself” than actually feeling better. I talk about the way movements likeclean eatingandbody positivitystarted

It’s handy to look on the bright side of life, right? Who doesn’t love an optimist? But, what if by always looking for a fix or the silver lining, you’re actually invalidating perfectly reasonable and logical emotions.More than that, what if being positive is actually making you toxic?In this conversation with Whitney Goodman, the radically honest psychologist, we explore how always being hopeful or trying to be helpful can actually be confusing and dissatisfying.It’s something we’ve seen creep into

Sure, I may be a little late to the party on this one but when Rylan Clark spoke about immigration on This Morning, why did no one in government use the opportunity to state facts and finally put to bed some of the falsehoods and misconceptions around asylum seekers and immigration? I'd love to hear your views on this.Also, why are women so judgemental about what other women eat?

You could be fooled into thinking Keeley Hazell’s memoir, Everyone’s Seen My Tits, would be a nostalgic romp through the Noughties, featuring salacious gossip and saucy behind-the-scenes insights from a time when the Red Tops - the tabloid newspapers - loomed large.What you actually get is a soul-bearing account of what it was like to grow up in a tough environment, both behind closed doors and on the streets of South East London, navigating revenge porn before people really knew was revenge porn
