S3E12 Warning Signs – Sneezing, Sadness, and Something Deeper - Words, Wobbles and Wisdom 20:22

Contact Annmarie In this heartfelt and humorous episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom , Annmarie Miles reflects on a particularly dramatic head cold and the unexpected life lesson it revealed. Following last week’s honest discussion about her struggles with weight and emotional wellbeing, Annmarie explores how physical symptoms like sneezing and fevers mirror emotional ones like sadness and frustration. She dives into the idea that our down days, much like our runny noses, are actually warning signs; signals from our body and heart that something needs attention, rest, or change. Through personal storytelling, a bit of scripture, and a dash of Dublin wit, Annmarie shares what last week taught her about joy, self-care, and being kinder to herself (even in old leggings, covered with toast crumbs). Perfect for anyone needing encouragement, a laugh, and a reminder that they are fearfully and wonderfully made — snot and all.

Contact Annmarie In this honest and slightly wobbly episode, Annmarie opens up about the reality of her long term weight journey that’s hit a slump. With her usual mix of humour and heartfelt reflection, she talks about feeling stuck, summer photos that don’t help, and the Facebook memories that used to inspire — but now feel like they’re having a laugh at her expense. Rather than disappear for “a little break” like last time (which lasted 18 months), Annmarie shares her current struggles and how she’s learning to show up anyway — even when the motivation’s gone missing. She also reflects on a quote from Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken — a book that’s made a few appearances on the podcast — and how it landed differently this time. It’s a warm and relatable episode for anyone who’s had a weight wobble and needed a bit of encouragement to keep going.
