I rebelled from the clean plate club. Here's why it was one of my best decisions...

I was raised in a family where you had to finish your plate. Children were starving in Africa, and that meant I had to eat all my peas. Fast-forward 40-odd years, and I was still automatically cleaning my plate every single meal. It wasn’t a conscious decision — it was just what you did. Then, when I started working with a coach and learning how to listen to my body, one of the first things we did was practice leaving food on the plate. And when I started doing that? All my struggles with food just melted away. Like, seriously. Because previously, if I’d overeaten or snacked too much while cooking, I would still finish my plate at dinner. Which meant I ate way more than I needed — and that just kept the cycle going. When I gave myself permission to leave food behind, everything changed. Your Invitation If you’ve been going around in circles with food and weight — trying things, getting somewhere, then ending up back at square one — I want you to know: it’s not a you problem. It’s a clarity problem and a strategy problem. I can fix that in 45 minutes. I’m offering a limited number of one-on-one clarity calls where we get on Zoom, just the two of us, and figure out exactly where you want to get to, what’s actually keeping you stuck, and map out a simple, personalised plan to get you there — with ease and joy, and without any restriction or willpower. Right now it’s available at an introductory price of $199 for the session (almost half the full price — but that won’t last). If you’ want to stop searching and start knowing exactly what to do, use the link here. I’d love to meet you on Zoom.
