    7 - Q&A With My Boyfriend: Wellness, Navigating Fertility & Behind The Scenes

    In this episode, I’m joined by my boyfriend, Max, for a Q&A all about our relationship, women’s health, and what it’s actually like dating someone in the wellness space. We talk about how we met, what it was like navigating my disordered eating and period recovery, and the things he’s learnt about women’s health along the way. We also get into the realities of supporting a partner through a healing journey, the habits we’ve influenced in each other, and what we think makes our relationship work. Plus, a few “wellness girl” moments and some fun quick-fire questions. A mix of honest, insightful, and light-hearted, this one feels like a chat with us.

    6 - Your Cycle Is Trying To Tell You Something

    Most of us were taught that our period is just something that happens once a month - something to manage, put up with, or push through. But your hormonal cycle is so much more than that. It's one of the most powerful indicators of how your body is actually doing, and most of us were never taught how to read it. In this episode I'm sharing everything I wish I'd known; from what a healthy cycle actually looks like, to the signs your body might be struggling, and how to start supporting your hormones through the way you live day to day. We cover: Why I call it a hormonal cycle (not a menstrual cycle) and why that reframe matters Your cycle as a vital sign — what it's actually telling you about your health What a healthy cycle really looks like Signs your cycle might be out of balance How to support your hormones through food, movement and stress When to ask for help and who to see Find more of me: instagram.com/wellwithportia momentum-studios.com.au

    3 - The Skinny Pandemic, Ozempic & The Return of Thin

    It feels like everywhere you look right now, thinness is trending again. From influencers and celebrities rapidly losing weight to the explosion of medications like Ozempic, there’s a noticeable shift happening in the way bodies are being portrayed online. In this episode we unpack the “skinny pandemic”. Why ultra-thin body ideals seem to be making a comeback and what that might mean for health, culture, and the next generation. We’ll talk about: • the rise of weight-loss medications and the conversation around them • how social media algorithms amplify body trends • who actually benefits from body insecurity • why body ideals change over time • and what this could mean for long-term health and wellbeing This episode isn’t about shaming individuals or medications, it’s about zooming out and asking bigger questions about the culture shaping the way we see our bodies.
