The Emma Guns Show

I've had a flurry of messages from people recently asking how to navigate food and drink during the Christmas Party Season. I'm not an expert but I know what it's like to feel completely out of control around food, especially when it's in plentiful supply so I hope this episode is helpful for anyone who struggles in the same way.You can contact Beat Eating Disorders via their website or on 0808 801 0677.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

Kathryn Hansen changed my life. I don't say that lightly, but her book Brain over Binge helped me confront, come to terms with and ultimately start recovery from an eating disorder I didn't even realise I had. You see, binge eating disorders tend to go undiagnosed and actually impact more people combined than the better-known anorexia nervosa and anorexia bulimia. It can be easily dismissed as gluttony, laziness, greed and a whole host of other negative labels that nobody really wants to wear. Still, it is a recognised emotional/mental illness that can be supported with treatments, including counselling.I had lived in shame for years since I was a child and my weight tipped over into the obese category at the doctors, so I began a relationship with food that was secret, feast or famine and co-dependent and which led my body to look and feel a way I didn't want it to.In this episode, four years after reading Kathryn's book and being able to install lifestyle changes that have changed my relationship with food

At the time of publication, we are fully into Cyber Week and every advert on social media, television and billboard is screaming about the amazing deal you could get for this week only. It's all a bit grotesque in light of the cost of living crisis so I thought I'd bring some balance to your podcast feed with a list of amazing charities you can donate to and support this Christmas.https://doit.life/https://www.trusselltrust.org/https://centrepoint.org.uk/https://www.reengage.org.uk/https://www.gosh.org/https://www.crisis.org.uk/https://refuge.org.uk/https://www.beautybanks.org.uk/To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

I'm just going to say it, I'm a fully signed-up Michael Douglas super fan after this conversation. He's a hairdresser and entrepreneur with over 35 years in the beauty industry, and how Michael and I have never 'properly' met despite our years in the same space is beyond me but thank goodness we put that right by 'meeting' for this conversation.It's not an exaggeration to say that a lot of what Michael said really stayed with me after we spoke; his thoughts on karma, forgiveness and apologising gave me pause for thought and were really helpful in helping me get clarity on some of my own 'life stuff'. We covered a lot of ground in this chat and perhaps what I loved the most was that he was happy to answer anything, to explore any subject in a way that was unguarded and very real.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my n

Die Hard IS a Christmas movie and this, my dear listeners, is why Lindsey Kelk and I are friends. Well, this and also a joyous mutual appreciation for Taylor Alison Swift, anything a little bit supernatural and also bralettes.Lindsey returns to the podcast as her book The Christmas Wish is published in paperback but it's exciting times for Lindsey who has several major products in production as well as new books expected next year. Her return to the podcast is, as you'd expect from two people who regularly communicate by WhatsApp about pretty much everything, to hear about the books she's written since she last visited, her feelings about Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California, her latest and greatest beauty finds (this is mainly a love-in about the CurrentBody LED Face Mask) and much more.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns

In this episode is Claire Coleman one of the most trusted, familiar and respected names in beauty journalism. She is known for being thorough, relying heavily on evidence and science to debunk myths or bring clarity to the latest attention-grabbing headlines. In fact, she is so detail-oriented that I’ve been calling her The Forensic Beauty Journalist for years. Claire is also a returning guest to the podcast and my friend. She is someone to whom I regularly go for advice and to find out what she thinks about certain topics because she is so thoughtful and considered. Claire doesn’t tend to put pen to paper or indeed open her mouth unless she has thought through what she is going to say.It’s why I thought a ride through her life lessons would make for an interesting conversation and also because I’ll take any opportunity to quiz her about pretty much anything because her perspective is always helpful.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow m

My guest is Laura Mathias, the communications manager, campaigner and alopecia awareness advocate. Laura started losing her hair in her early teens and she admits that, as a result, she stopped leaving the house. As she describes it, ‘I completely withdrew and just gave up.’ On Instagram where she’s @relightalopecia, Laura has shared her journey with alopecia because that diagnosis in her early teens led to issues with self-esteem and self-expression. A wig-wearer for years, lockdown changed that when we were all working from home and had the option to turn our cameras off and this was a huge learning experience for her and it’s these learnings she shares in this episode.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.
