In this final episode of the year, I’m taking a moment to reflect, not just on the past twelve months, but on what I’ve observed again and again in my own life and in the women I work with.

This episode isn’t about doing more, fixing yourself, or setting rigid New Year’s resolutions.

It’s about capacity.

When your body isn’t consumed by symptoms…
When your energy isn’t spent just getting through the day…
Your world gets bigger. Your thinking expands. And your choices change.

In this conversation, I share:

• Why I evolved my signature programme from Reclaim Your Radiance into The Radiance Method

• What I’ve seen hold high-achieving women back this year, even when they’re doing “all the right things”

• Why health isn’t a goal in itself, but the foundation that allows you to live intentionally

• How stress, energy, digestion and hormones are deeply connected (and why food alone is rarely the full answer)

• A walkthrough of the CORE framework - my signature method:

  • Clarify — understanding what your body is communicating through data and patterns

  • Optimise — supporting energy, digestion and stress chemistry in a way that fits real life

  • Repattern — changing the habits and nervous system responses that keep women in survival mode

  • Embody — integrating it all so health becomes something you live with, not manage

• What happens when you give yourself proper recovery, space in your calendar, and room for joy, awe and play

• Why living well isn’t about discipline, it’s about having the bandwidth to sustain change

I also share what’s coming next:
Applications are now open for The Radiance Method, and I explain what a discovery call is really for — a grounded, honest conversation to see if the work feels aligned.

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask a different question as we move into the new year:

Is the life you’re building designed around your capacity or are you asking your body to keep up at all costs?

If you’re curious about working together, you can apply for a discovery call via the link: https://the-root-cause.co.uk/naturopathic-nutrition-enquiries/

I’d also love to hear from you.
What topics would you like more of next year: more science, more nervous system work, more real-life conversations?
