Success Story —Maddie’s Journey to Confidence & Calm
“I honestly didn’t realise how much I needed this coaching until I was halfway through it.”
— Maddie L., 29, freelance graphic designer
Before I started coaching, I was constantly overwhelmed. My relationship with food was tangled up in stress, control, and guilt. I’d skip meals while working, then binge at night. I told myself I was “being productive,” but the truth was—I was disconnected from myself.
It wasn’t just about food. I didn’t feel grounded. My anxiety was high. I kept putting everyone else first—clients, friends, deadlines—but ignoring my body and my needs.
Then I found this course. And everything began to shift.

The Turning Point
One of the biggest breakthroughs came during Week 2, when we worked on body respect and self-compassion. I realised I was speaking to myself in ways I’d never speak to a friend. That hurt to see—but it also empowered me to change.
The journaling prompts, the mindful eating exercises, the check-ins… they all created space for me to slow down and finally listen to what my body was telling me. I stopped skipping meals. I started walking outside every morning—not to burn calories, but to clear my head and feel present.

What Changed for Me
• I no longer feel out of control around food.
• I’ve learned to notice when I’m emotionally hungry—and respond with care, not snacks.
• My sleep and focus have improved.
• I speak to myself with kindness now, even on tough days.
This program helped me reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t even expect. It’s about so much more than food—it’s about coming back to your body and saying: I trust you.

Maddie’s Tips for Anyone Starting Out:
Do the sessions regularly.
Even when you’re busy. Especially when you’re busy. The consistency creates the transformation.
Take the journaling seriously.
It’s where the truth bubbles up.
Go at your own pace.
If something hits hard, pause and reflect. This is your journey.
Don’t aim for “perfect.”
Aim for connection, honesty, and self-love.
