Words, Wobbles and Wisdom
In this episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Irish writer and podcaster Annmarie Miles reflects on the emotional magic of the beloved BBC series The Repair Shop and how its gentle process of restoration mirrors the deeper healing many of us long for in our lives.
From treasured heirlooms to hidden hurts, Annmarie explores what happens when we dare to bring something broken to someone who sees its worth. With humour, honesty and plenty of soul, she unpacks the power of being taken apart with care, cleaned up, and lovingly rebuilt sometimes even stronger than before.
Drawing parallels to the Japanese art of Kintsugi and anchoring it all in Biblical truth, this episode reminds listeners that no matter how chipped, cracked or forgotten we feel, we are never beyond repair. We’re still precious. And in the hands of the Master Restorer, we can be made new.

S3E17 - I'm a rough draft in need of a good edit! Words, Wobbles and Wisdom
Words, Wobbles and Wisdom
In this episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom, Irish writer and podcaster Annmarie Miles unpacks the emotional rollercoaster of change and how it often feels a lot like editing a messy manuscript.
With her signature blend of humour, heart, and honesty, Annmarie shares why she loves writing new stories but dreads the editing process… and how that perfectly mirrors her resistance to change in real life. From “killing your darlings” to confronting the real issues beneath the surface, she offers a fresh, faith-filled take on what it means to let go and grow.
She also reflects on when she shared about being told, “The weight is just a red herring,” a statement that challenged her to look deeper at what truly needs changing.
This is a powerful and relatable episode for anyone navigating personal growth, spiritual transformation, or simply trying to rewrite the next chapter of their life with a bit more grace (and the occasional biscuit).

S3E12 Warning Signs – Sneezing, Sadness, and Something Deeper - Words, Wobbles and Wisdom
Words, Wobbles and Wisdom
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.

S3E11 Back to the Usual Wobble - Words, Wobbles and Wisdom
Words, Wobbles and Wisdom
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.

- How speaking simple truths to ourselves—consistently—can actually make a big difference
- A spiral moment involving a toaster (you’ll want to hear this one)
- And a hilarious, heartfelt story about Wagon Wheels, childhood apologies, and a very confused neighbour
There’s a gentle nod to Scripture each day, but it’s never heavy—just a bit of godly wisdom alongside the wobbles. Whether someone is full of faith, just hanging on, or simply looking for a bit of encouragement, this space is a welcome one.
