Everyone saw her smile. Nobody saw the rest.

Emma opens up about the difference between looking happy and how she felt inside… and how working with Carrissa helped her understand her past.

A smile doesn’t tell the whole story.

“I don’t belong here.”

Carrissa describes being a working-class Yorkshire girl in a room full of posh people… then Emma walked in.

Finally, someone who felt familiar. Never underestimate the relief of hearing an accent that sounds a bit like home.

Tag the person who makes you feel you belong.

Would you let someone speak to you like that? So why do it to yourself?

Carrissa suggests writing yourself a love letter. Emma’s response? It took her two weeks, and she cried her eyes out.

We’ve got plenty to say when we’re criticising ourselves. Something kind? Suddenly we’re lost for words.

What’s one kind thing you could say about yourself today? COMMENT BELOW 👇

I used to believe eating junk food would take away my pain.

So if I had a bad day or if something really upset me I’d turn to food.

And for that moment I would forget everything, junk food felt like it was helping me numb the pain.

But when I finally realised what I was doing I also realised it was all just an illusion. Food was never meant to be therapy, it was never meant to numb my body to the way I truly felt inside.

So I had to unlearn some things and relearn the true purpose of food.. To provide fuel and nutrition for my body ♥︎

Sugar isn’t harmless.. by @keepmecurvy

In 2021, approximately 11.7 million women were living with Type 2 diabetes 💔

This number has only continued to grow. These are the best carb swaps to help stop that rise. 🫶🏾✨

Swap: White Potatoes  For: Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes contain more fibre than white potatoes, which can help support a steadier rise in blood sugar ✨

Swap: Wheat Bread
 For: Rye Bread

Rye bread is naturally higher in fibre, which can help reduce the rise in blood sugar after a meal. ✨

Swap: Wheat Pasta
 For: Legume Pasta

Legume pasta contains more protein and fibre, which can help slow digestion and support a steadier blood sugar response. ✨

Swap: Rice
 For: Bulgur Wheat

Bulgur wheat contains more fibre and protein, which can help support a steadier blood sugar response. ✨

The truth is...

You don’t have to give up the foods you love.
A simple swap is all it takes to reduce your risk.
🫶🏾✨
