Health with Heart with Dr Skye

Money impacts everything, our stress levels, our values, our relationships, and even our sense of humour. In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend, Kate Tibshirany for a refreshingly honest (and very funny) conversation about the real-life side of finances.
We talk side hustles, brain space, the chaos of debit orders all landing at once, and the age-old question: should you be saving, or focusing on paying off debt? Along the way, we unpack how to give to charity in ways that genuinely make an impact, how to talk to children about money without passing on fear or shame, and how to make financial choices you’ll actually be glad you made later.
This episode is equal parts laughter and reflection — a chance to take stock of your financial wellbeing, rethink what “value” really means, and feel a little less alone in the money mess. Perfect listening if you want a good laugh and a gentle nudge toward more intentional financial choices.

Relationships have never been simple… but today they more competition than they ever have before.
Between the pressure that technology brings, financial stress, the expectations of idealistic romance, and the constant comparison that comes with social media, many couples feel stretched thin — disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to find their way back to each other 💛
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Melissa de Waard, with over 20 years of psychology experience, she now holds space to facilitate separations between couples in a way that is respectful and centers the wellbeing of children in the landscape of divorce.
Melissa brings a calm, grounded wisdom to relationships on the rocks, helping partners slow down, communicate with more compassion, centre their children’s wellbeing, and thoughtfully rebuild for a healthier new chapter 🌿 together or apart.
This is a gentle, honest conversation about love, conflict, repair, and what it really takes to create stability in modern relationships. You don't need to have a relationship that is on the rocks to learn something new about yourself, your partner or the way that you relate to one another from this episode.

In this episode, Erin van Schoor explores how our relationship with food mirrors our relationship with ourselves, and why true health is built not through punishment and rigid discipline, but through awareness, compassion, and trust. Drawing on her own personal experience with body dysmorphia and unexplained seizures alongside her work in conscious nourishment and health coaching, Erin unpacks how patterns of restriction, control, and perfectionism disconnect us from our bodies, and how shifting toward devotion, presence, and self-respect transforms both eating and living. This conversation reframes nourishment as a relationship rather than a rulebook, showing how when discipline softens into devotion and daily choices become acts of care rather than control, food stops being a battleground and becomes a pathway back to wholeness. This interview has changed my own journey with myself.

This is a recording of a talk I did recently for a large group of working women (and some men!). It is a robust and hopefully very well explained introduction to what is happening hormonally through perimenopause and into menopause. I talk you through the physiology, what to expect, how to consider hormone replacement therapy and some of the other aspects of modern life that impact healthy hormone production; thyroid disease, unhealthy body weight, stress and alcohol. You should feel empowered after listening, to have a conversation with your doctor about symptoms and treatment. Enjoy! Love, Skye PS.
