notes on being unruly

32: Are food rules running - and ruining - your life?

We’re all so ready to start breaking those rigid rules around food. Nutritionist Kate Wall unpacks how “healthy eating” can slip into socially acceptable disordered patterns. We explore the patterns of food policing shame and the unhelpfulness of restrictive rules, and what it looks like to eat in a way that actually matches your life. We talk about: * When “healthy eating” becomes socially acceptable disordered eating * The many forms of food policing: external, internal, and invisible * How shame fuels the restrict–crave cycle * Why it feels so exhausting to live by rigid food rules * Moving from food rules to flexible, values-led guidelines * Letting go of morality around food (good vs bad, earned vs burned) * Rebuilding self-trust through small, consistent choices * What it looks like to eat in a way that actually matches your life, not the one you think you should be living * Countering fear-based narratives around ultra-processed foods ❤ If you loved this episode, please Subscribe and leave a 5-star review.

Special Episode: You're not as "bad with accounts" as you think

Let’s do it - let’s demystify the horrors of Taxes... Accounting…. Your bank balance ARGGGG! I’m joined by Clare Marsh who set up an accountancy practice specifically to support women business owners in the UK and to bring proper understanding, support and even a little joy back into our business accounts. Clare brings warmth, clarity and a refreshing dose of practicality to a topic that we often approach with anxiety  and confusion. We talk about why finances feel so emotionally charged, how asking for help (even for what we think are “dumb questions”) is a bloody good thing, and what actually matters when it comes to running the financial side of your business. We get down to brass tacks, and even have a good laugh about: * Clare’s journey from corporate burnout to building a values-led accountancy practice * Taking down the patriarchy by reclaiming control over our business accounts * How we shame ourselves for not knowing everything and why that’s a totally inaccurate, unfair way of doing business * Practical, accessible steps for small business owners who want to feel more in control of their finances * How to start asking for help with your business * Why accountants need support too (and actually don’t know everything) 🎧 When you’re finally ready to take back control of your accounts - and stop letting it feel like such a drudgery - you’ll want to get in on this ep. ❤ If you loved this episode, don’t forget to Subscribe to the podcast and leave a 5-star review.

Trailer: notes on being unruly

It's been a long time coming - a breaking up with all those outdated rules we've carted around for years. This is a podcast  about questioning the social and cultural scripts around success, identity and work, and sharing the messy, human stories behind choosing differently. No step-by-step guides, rigid strategies or ordered plans. Just real, authentic conversations about living life on your own terms - however 'unruly' that looks!  -- Connect with Jamie: * See what she does on her website [http://jamiepei.com] * Connect on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiepei/]  * Follow on Instagram: @unrulyjamiepei [https://www.instagram.com/unrulyjamiepei/]

29: "You should finish your work before you play"

I’m joined by the luminous Sue Anderson, massively successful copywriter and the visionary behind Wild Woods Retreat, a 30-acre haven she built (literally with her own hands) in the Smoky Mountains to help entrepreneurs step out of hustle culture and back into their bodies and creativity. Sue’s story is the quiet but life-changing revolution so many of us need: after 17 years of nonstop grind, raising children while running a booming copywriting agency and doing all the “right” things the hustle bros told her to do… she hit burnout - and hard. Then she started getting out into nature and playing more. That eventually led to relaxing more, deeper nervous system regulation and finally one day, the wild spontaneous idea to sell up everything, buy land and create a retreat centre for entrepreneurs to begin doing the same. In this super energising convo, we chat about ✨ How hustle culture hijacks our nervous systems and tricks us into believing rest is something we must earn ✨ Why your best ideas arrive when you stop trying and let your whole self take a damn break ✨ The neuroscience of rest and why being “unproductive” is often the smartest business move you can make ✨ How sensory rest, boredom and slowing down unlock creativity and problem-solving ✨ Why nature regulates us in ways Netflix simply can’t ✨ The power of simple practices like sit spots, forest bathing and tiny micro-moments outdoors ✨ The gorgeous philosophy behind Wild Woods Retreat: a place for entrepreneurs to soften, breathe, hear themselves again and remember that they are part of something bigger and far more abundant than their to-do list. 🎧 This is the reminder we all need that we absolutely don’t have to finish all the work before we get to play. And maybe, just maybe, to go find your own sit spot after listening. ❤ If you loved this episode, don’t forget to Subscribe to the podcast and leave a 5-star review—it’ll help more people discover the show and start their should-free journey too! 🌻 Connect with Sue Learn about Wild Woods Retreat: wildwoodsretreat.com [https://wildwoodsretreat.com/] Sue’s podcast, Entrepreneurs Gone Wild: entrepreneursgonewild.com [https://entrepreneursgonewild.com/] Connect on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/susananderson67/] Connect on Instagram @entrepreneursgonewild [https://www.instagram.com/entrepreneursgonewild/] 👯‍♀️ Come hang out with me!
