Todays Episode is an interview with Al Thursfield, a food-loving entrepreneur from Byron Bay. In 2017, Al launched Daily Food, a snack brand that makes fun, functional and delicious snacks designed to help people fall in love with food again.


Al's journey to establishing her brand is a deeply personal one, rooted in her own battle with an eating disorder during her adolescent years. She didn't recognise it at the time, but the toxic diet culture of the 90s and 00s significantly influenced Al’s relationship with food and her body which, unfortunately, is an experience so many can relate to. Today, while less overt, toxic diet culture and its impacts are still felt. Through Daily Food, Al is on a mission to change that.


Daily Food makes functional, fun and delicious snacks that aim to inspire happier and healthier lives. Al is passionate about bringing joy back to the way we talk and think about food, and this shines through in our conversation today.


In our interview, we dive into:

- Her why and mission behind starting daily food.

- Her experience of an eating disorder and the isolation it causes.

- Her journey to recovery.

- Her intention to support people to find joy in sharing food with friends and family and shifting the way we look at food, seeing it as something to celebrate rather than a cause for anxiety.

- The impact of social media on young girls.

- How we speak to ourselves in front of our children.

- The You and Food survey and starting the conversation.

- Her business journey with Daily Food and how she has navigated the challenges.

And soo much more…

In this Episode, I interview the beautiful Mia La Bozetta. She is a certified Life Coach and Pilates Instructor, and Founder of Innermost, a platform she created to support women to change the way they see themselves and to come back to their innermost authentic selves rather than chasing external measures of happiness and success. She is doing such important work for young girls and women.

Mia is quite literally sunshine in human form..an absolute angel who I was so honoured to interview. She is a beautiful woman with a big beautiful heart and mission and I'm so excited to see where her vision takes her.

In this interview, we dive into:

- Her why behind creating Innermost (this hit deep).

- Heartbreaking statistics about girls and self worth / body image.

- How Innermost was created.

- The impact of social media and how this can breed comparison, pressure and expectation on young girls.

- The work Mia is doing in Primary Schools for young girls.


- How Self esteem has a ripple effect on all areas of a girls life.

- Mia's personal mental health and body image journey.

- How our beliefs are formed on a subconscious level from a young age.

- How many of us fall into this trap of chasing beauty and success externally, falling further and further away from our authentic innermost self, causing us to feel lost.

- The importance of trusting your intuition and how following that can take you closer towards your purpose work.

- The importance of taking action.

- The spotlight effect, and letting go of focusing on what other people think and instead focusing on how you can give and serve & how you can contribute rather than what others think of you.

- Mia's biggest challenges.

- Tools to move through self doubt.

- Becoming aware of limiting thoughts but choosing something different.

- Becoming aware of your inner critic.
