The Eat Nourish Love Podcast

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Carey is joined by author, broadcaster and coach Rosie Nixon, the award-winning former Editor-in-Chief of HELLO! magazine, who spent 16 years at the heart of celebrity publishing before walking away to rebuild her life on her own terms.
Rosie shares how burnout forced her to pause, why she now sees midlife "crisis" as an invitation to reinvent, and how she turned her own story into a coaching method helping thousands of women do the same.About Rosie Nixon
Rosie Nixon is an author, broadcaster and qualified coach.
She spent around 25 years in women's magazines, starting on teen and girls' titles, then senior roles at Grazia, Glamour, Red and New Woman, before joining HELLO!, where she rose from senior editor to Editor-in-Chief across 16 years.
She brokered world exclusives with some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Robbie Williams' wedding, building a reputation for discretion and trust.

She is the author of four novels in The Stylist series (The Stylist, Amber Green Takes Manhattan, Just Between Friends and Bad Influence), plus the non-fiction book Be Kind. Her sixth book, The Pro Method, a self-coaching framework, is published this August.

She now runs reinvention retreats for women across the UK.What This Episode CoversRosie talks about her years as "the conduit of other people's stories" and the moment everything shifted when she finally shared her own.
After running on adrenaline for years, she was signed off work on the brink of burnout, a forced pause that made her realise her values had evolved faster than her job had.

She and Caroline explore why reinvention beats crisis, how the stress we ignore eventually shows up in the body, and why the messy middle is the hardest part of any transition.
Rosie explains how coaching helped her negotiate down to three days a week, then one day as editor-at-large, building her new business on the side rather than leaping without a net, proof that change doesn't have to be all or nothing.
The conversation also covers the lost camaraderie of magazine offices, the responsibility of editing for impressionable young readers in a pre-social-media age, kindness as a learned behaviour (and why we're hardest on ourselves), and Rosie's mission to make affordable, holistic coaching available to women navigating midlife.

Rosie's Three Key Takeaways
Pause first. A pause can be as small as one breath in and a longer breath out, enough to calm your nervous system before any decision, big or small.
Don't make knee-jerk choices.
Then reflect. Ask what actually serves you.

Your values evolve, especially through motherhood and midlife, and the discomfort you're feeling is often a signal that something needs to change, not proof that you're failing.T
hen organise. Decisions made from calm and clarity set you up for sustainable vitality. Pause, Reflect, Organise (the PRO method) is the order that makes reinvention work.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Carey is joined by broadcaster, author and sobriety coach Janey Lee Grace a familiar voice to millions from her 24 years alongside Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2.
Janey shares the story behind her own decision to quit alcohol, why she calls it "the booze elevator," and how her work today is helping thousands of women step off it before they ever hit rock bottom.
About Janey Lee Grace
Janey Lee Grace is a broadcaster, bestselling author, coach and the founder of The Sober Club.
A former backing singer on the Wham! tours and one half of Cola Boy (their 1991 hit Seven Ways to Love reached number 8 in the charts), Janey went on to spend 24 years co-hosting Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2.
She is the author of the Amazon number one bestseller Imperfectly Natural Woman, her memoir
From Wham to Woo: A Life on the Mic, and Happy Healthy Sober: Ditch the Booze and Take Control of Your Life with a foreword by Denise Welch.
Her TEDx talk Sobriety Rocks. Who Knew! sparked the launch of The Sober Club in 2019. She also hosts the Alcohol Free Life podcast and the annual Platinum Awards, recognising the best in natural, sustainable and organic brands.
What This Episode Covers
Janey speaks candidly about the years she spent "stepping around the elephant in the room" writing books on natural living by day, drinking a bottle of wine by night, and waking at 3am asking herself what she was doing.
She unpacks why the conventional two-bucket view of drinkers (rock bottom vs. happy social drinker) misses the millions of "grey area" drinkers in between, and why she believes even one glass is harmful.
She and Caroline discuss the moment Janey read Clare Pooley's The Sober Diaries and knew her drinking days were over, the cultural and marketing shift that targeted women from the late 1970s onwards, and why GPs hand out antidepressants and HRT without ever asking about alcohol.
The conversation moves into self-worth, visibility for small businesses, and why so many therapists, coaches and founders trained in their craft but never actually got started and what it takes to step into the spotlight when you'd rather hide.

Janey's Three Key Takeaways
Ask yourself the question. Could your life be better, physically and emotionally, without alcohol? Ask your gut. If the answer is yes, quit, you will never do anything better for your health.
Become curious about self-love. Most people pour everything into others and have zero left for themselves. Self-esteem isn't a switch you flick it's a slow burn worth committing to.
When you know what you want, go after it. Don't wait until the kids leave home, or the money's there, or you feel ready. Start. The belief comes from the doing.

For the first time, Caroline Cary is the guest, sharing the story behind 30 years of fundraising, events, family, and the founding of Eat Nourish Love.
This is the one for anyone who knows Caroline through the Fair, the podcast, or the Collective — and wants to hear the journey that built it all.

Caroline Cary is a fundraising strategist, campaign director, podcast host and events consultant who has spent over thirty years bringing people, projects and purpose together. She is the founder of Eat Nourish Love, a wellness, lifestyle and conscious living platform, and Cary Consultancy, where she works with charities, founders and purpose driven leaders.

She has raised more than four and a half million pounds for the Armed Forces, heritage, health, wellbeing and conservation causes, and led senior level engagements with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, HRH The Duke of Cambridge, and HRH The Duchess of Kent. She is a Trustee of the Army Museums Ogilby Trust on the Governance, Finance and Communications Committees, a former Chair of the Charity Fairs Association, and a Leiths trained cook with a Distinction. She hosts the Eat Nourish Love podcast and earlier this year launched the ENL Collective.

What This Episode Covers
Caroline shares the moments that shaped her — being one of the first children formally diagnosed with dyslexia, the worst day of her life when her daughter Annabel was rushed to hospital with what doctors first thought was cancer, and the resilience built across decades of saying yes and figuring it out afterwards.
She talks candidly about the realities of running large-scale events: the burnt fish pie minutes before service, the Jubilee that became a commemoration, and the difficult decision to pause the Christmas Fair after 25 years. She opens up about putting herself at the bottom of the pile for years on behalf of charities and clients — and why now, finally, it is her turn to grow.
She also explains the thinking behind the Eat Nourish Love Collective: built in four weeks, sold out in seven months with 32 founding members, and designed to solve the loneliness so many founders quietly carry.
Caroline's Three Key Takeaways
Mistakes are the work. If you're not making them, you're not growing. Resilience and tenacity are built through the no's, not around them.
Take the small step. When something feels enormous, do the one thing you can do that day. The little steps make the big things happen.
The answers are inside, not outside. Turn the noise of competitors off. Trust the intuition. The universe delivers when you're true to who you are.

Interviewer: Justina Rosu, Content Strategist and Founder of Purple Square Content.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Carey is joined by Emma Bardwell — registered nutritionist, Sunday Times bestselling author, and one of the most trusted evidence-based voices in women's health nutrition. This is Emma's second appearance on the podcast, and she's back with a brand new book.
Emma's approach cuts through the noise. No demonising food groups, no unrealistic targets — just practical, science-backed guidance that women can actually use.

About Emma Bardwell
Emma Bardwell is a registered nutritionist and Sunday Times bestselling author, currently studying for a Masters in nutrition.
She retrained in her 30s after a career in advertising, specialising in women's health and menopause nutrition — an area she entered while navigating perimenopause herself.
Her books, published by Penguin, include The Perimenopause Solution, The 30g Plan, and her newest release, The Fiber Effect. A third title — The 30g Plan Cookbook — lands in May. She is known for making complex nutritional science genuinely accessible.

What This Episode Covers
Emma makes the case that fiber has been chronically overlooked — overshadowed by protein — despite its profound impact on gut health, hormones, mood, appetite, weight maintenance, and longevity. She explains how fiber feeds the gut microbiome, why that microbiome directly affects how women metabolise estrogen and even HRT, and why 96% of people in the UK aren't hitting the recommended 30g daily target.
She also tackles the oat controversy head-on, debunks the fear around carbs and beans, shares her practical plate model for combining protein and fiber, and gives straight-talking advice on fermented foods, supplements, and how to start — without overhauling everything overnight.

Emma's Books
The Fiber Effect — out now
The 30g Plan — Sunday Times Bestseller
The 30g Plan Cookbook — out May 2025
All available via Penguin / major retailers.

Emma's Three Key TakeawaysStart with one meal.
Get your breakfast right and it sets the tone for the rest of the day — appetite, energy, mood and cravings all follow.

Don't panic about a bad day. It's what you eat over months and years that counts — not one difficult weekend.If you hate kale, don't eat it. Food has to be enjoyable.
The moment it stops being that, you've already lost.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Carey is joined by Kate Rowe-Ham — health coach, founder of Owning Your Menopause, and author of The Longevity Solution: Own Your Menopause and Midlife Strength.
Kate's path into this work wasn't planned. It came through the fog of perimenopause hitting at 40, a misdiagnosis of depression, and the frustrating invisibility of midlife women in both medicine and fitness culture. Her story will resonate with any woman who has been told she's too young, too tired, or simply not listened to.
About Kate Rowe-HamKate Rowe-Ham is a health coach, personal trainer, and one of the UK's leading voices on strength, movement, and longevity for women in midlife. She qualified as a PT in her 40s after her own perimenopause went unrecognised by her GP, and went on to build the Owning Your Menopause platform — offering live workouts, community, and practical coaching that has reached thousands of women. Her work has been featured in the Times, Women's Health, Good Housekeeping, BBC News, and Channel 4. She is also training for the London Marathon, running to raise awareness for PCD Support UK in honour of her youngest son.
What This Episode CoversKate challenges the idea that menopause is something to endure. She makes the case that strength training is the single most evidence-backed tool available to women over 40 — for bone density, metabolic health, confidence, and longevity — and that it's never too late to start.
She talks candidly about the perimenopause symptoms that were dismissed, why HRT alone wasn't her magic fix, and how dropping the scales changed everything. She also covers the gender health gap in research and clinical training, why menopause hits earlier for many women of colour, the difference between lifespan and healthspan, and how to build longevity foundations without expensive gym memberships or quick-fix solutions.

Kate's Three Key Takeaways
Genetics loads the gun — but lifestyle pulls the trigger. You are more in control of your health destiny than you think.
Build muscle. It protects your bones, drives your metabolism, and is the best investment you can make in your future self.
You don't need to wait until something goes wrong. The best time to start is now — and it doesn't have to cost a fortune.
