    Still tracking your calories and training hard—but the weightĀ won’t budge? You’re not alone. And more importantly,Ā you’re not broken.

    āœ… The role of stress, cortisol & perimenopause on fat storage

    āœ… The muscle mass–metabolism connection youĀ mustĀ understand

    āœ… Why so many women are under-recovering (not just overtraining)

    āœ… Blood testing, bone density, cycle syncing & body composition tracking tips


    This episode isĀ proudly supported byĀ Hivita—my go-to for clinical-grade supplements designed to support your energy, hormones and immunity through every life phase. They’re Aussie-made, practitioner-trusted, and built for real women.

    Emotional Eating, Biscoff, and Burnout: What Happens When Life Falls Apart with Katie Williams02 Oct 202500:49:47

    Feeling like you’re doing all the right things but still bloated, exhausted, and emotional?Ā You’re not alone...and this episode is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.


    Sally sits down with one of her real-life besties, ex-athlete and media powerhouseĀ Katie Williams, for a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, and deeply healing convo on what life looks likeĀ behind the scenes - when your hormones are tanked, your heart is broken, and you’re living on coffee, Biscoff and sheer willpower.

    From gut issues and grief to supplement stacking and cycle syncing, this episode is a full-body exhale for any woman navigating chaos, cravings, or a complete reset.


    ā°Ā Timestamps

    • [00:01:14]Ā Katie’s ā€œhealthy girlā€ takeaway order (Spoiler: It’s not KFC)

    • [00:01:51]Ā Why sheĀ hatesĀ early morning training (and how ADHD impacts her day)

    • [00:02:55]Ā Her journaling trifecta: gratitude, diary dumping, and the ā€œGold Diggerā€ planner

    • [00:04:39]Ā Meditation struggles, weird morning audio habits & Marisa Peer

    • [00:05:53]Ā TheĀ exactĀ smoothie she makes every day (with 40% of her calories from macadamias 😳)

    • [00:08:35]Ā Breakups & Biscoff: Katie opens up about heartbreak, survival mode & emotional eating

    • [00:13:03]Ā Whole food obsession, but still smashing sugar? Here’s what that looks like

    šŸ’„Ā Key Takeaways

    • Supplements help but mixing too many can actually cause issues like metallic taste, gut upset, or overwhelm.

    • Sometimes recovery is more important than performance. Period.

    • Bloating, burnout, and cravings are often tied toĀ under-eatingĀ early in the day (yep, even if you’re ā€œeating cleanā€).

    • There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to hormones, healing, or hot chocolate.

    Today’s episode is one I think so many women are going to resonate with — especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re ā€œdoing everything rightā€ with your health, but still feeling anxious, burnt out, flat, inflamed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode.

    I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Jane, founder of Spinal Energetics — a globally recognised healing modality that blends nervous system regulation, energy work, somatic healing, and chiropractic philosophy to help people release stored stress and reconnect with their body.

    We dive into:

    • How stress gets ā€œstoredā€ in the body
    • The connection between trauma, hormones, fatigue and emotional eating
    • Why high-performing women struggle to switch off
    • What actually happens during a Spinal Energetics session
    • The science, scepticism and spirituality behind energy work
    • Practical ways to regulate your nervous system daily

    Whether you’re deeply into healing modalities or just curious about why your body feels constantly ā€œon,ā€ this conversation is a fascinating exploration into the mind-body connection and what healing can really look like.
