Ready to change your body composition and get stronger? In our latest podcast episode, Craig and I dive deep into the power of strength training and why itâs the ultimate game-changer for women looking to transform their bodies in their 40s and 50s.
We talked about why lifting heavy (remember heavy is relative to the individual) and focusing on good technique are key to seeing real results â and itâs not about being "genetically gifted." Itâs about showing up, pushing your limits, and consistently progressing. đ„
Listen in to learn why you can reach those strength goals you thought were impossible and how it can change not just how you look but how you feel.

This podcast was a raw, deep dive into the complexities of life, relationships, and self-discovery.
Last year Craig and I went through an incredibly hard time in our relationship. During this time we worked with Max and Greta who helped us navigate the challenges we faced.
This episode wasnât just about the usual fitness or nutrition tips but about understanding the layers within ourselves and our relationships.
We delved into the concept of masculine and feminine energies and how they shape our experiences and dynamics with others. Both Greta and Max shared powerful insights on childhood wounds, and it made me think about how much of what we experience as adultsâour pain, our fears, our triggersâroots back to unresolved pieces of our past.
One thing I learnt last year was that every relationship, romantic or otherwise, can act as a mirror. Max explained how, through his own marriage, heâs found ways to lean into that vulnerability, allowing space for true healing and connection. Itâs not easy, especially when weâve spent years building walls or staying in control to protect ourselves. One of the many things I took away from their coaching, is that a conscious relationship is a giftâa chance to truly see and be seen, to create a connection thatâs deep, real, and sustainable.
To those of you exploring these parts of yourselves, youâre not alone. If this resonates, join us in this episodeâitâs worth every minute.

In this week's podcast, Craig and I reflect on a whirlwind year of growth, moving to Dubai, and the lessons weâve learned along the wayâboth personally and in business.
Weâve also got some exciting news to share about our next big move to Thailand!
But more importantly, we dive into why so many women struggle to get lasting results with diet and training.
The truth is, most women over 40 have been stuck in the low-carb, sugar-free, and HIIT class-heavy mindset for years, and itâs wreaking havoc on their hormones and bodies.
Thatâs where our methodâand our appâmake all the difference.
We help you eat more of the right foods, train smarter (not harder), and track what truly matters for your body.
Itâs not about starving yourself or endless HIIT classes; itâs about building strength, boosting metabolism, and getting sustainable, healthy results.
If youâve been feeling stuck, our process will help you unlock food freedom and finally see progress in a way that works for your body!

On todayâs podcast, I sit down with the incredible Rachel, a mum of three from Florida, who shares her journey of breaking free from the unhealthy habits that had her feeling stuck for years. Before joining our program, Rachel had tried to find balance but never really felt happy with her body or her relationship with food.
Like so many of us, Rachel thought that restrictive eating and avoiding carbs were the only way to go. But after joining, she discovered that eating real, nourishing food could not only improve her health but also her mood and energy levels. She shares how she lost inches, reduced body fat, cleared up her skin, and even improved her sleepâall while eating more and lifting weights! đ
If youâve been feeling stuck, or wondering if it's possible to lose fat without endless restriction, Rachelâs story will inspire you to take the leap.
Sheâs proof that with the right support and a balanced approach, real transformation is possible!

I just had an incredible conversation with Michael on the podcast, and I think itâs something that will really resonate with so many of you. Michael dives deep into the reasons we often sabotage ourselvesâwhether it's skipping meal prep, drinking every weekend, or simply being our own worst critics. Itâs those little behaviours we know we shouldnât be doing, but we canât quite figure out why we keep doing them.
We talked about how to break the cycle of self-criticism and really understand why we behave the way we do. Itâs all about identifying the deeper beliefs that hold us backâlike feeling ânot good enoughââand learning how to rewrite that story so you can finally start making the changes you want to see.
If youâve ever felt stuck in this kind of loop, like you know what you should be doing but can't seem to stay consistent, this episode is a must-listen. Trust me, youâll walk away with some real insights on how to stop self-sabotaging and start making progress toward your goals.

I recently had an incredible chat on the podcast with one of our amazing clients, Mel, who shared her inspiring transformation story that I think so many of you will relate to. If you've ever struggled with yo-yo dieting, food restriction, or felt like youâve tried everything and still arenât seeing results, youâre going to want to tune in to this one.
Melâs journey started just like so many women out there â battling body image issues since childhood, jumping from one restrictive diet to another (Keto, anyone?), and feeling completely lost, exhausted, and miserable. She even reached a point where she didnât want to leave the house. Sound familiar?
What changed for her? Joining our program, which taught her how to eat in a way that actually fuels her body, enjoy food again (yes, sheâs now loving carbs like orange juice and rice pudding!), and embrace strength training. She stopped obsessing over the scale and started focusing on building muscle, and guess what? Sheâs now 9kg down, 17.5% body fat, and feeling stronger and more confident than ever before. đ
Here are a few gems from Melâs story that we talked about on the podcast:
đHow she finally found food freedom and stopped the binge-restrict cycle for good.
đWhy learning to eat more (yes, MORE) has been the key to her fat loss and muscle-building success.
đHow our program helped her fix her relationship with food and her body, ditch the guilt, and stop being controlled by the scale.
đThe incredible improvements in her energy, mood, and even her hair and skin!
If youâve been trying to starve yourself skinny, or canât seem to break the cycle of bingeing and restricting, this episode is for you. Melâs experience shows whatâs possible when you stop focusing on the đnumber on the scale and start fuelling your body to feel strong, energised, and empowered!

Nicole's story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of taking control of your health, no matter where you start.
Nicole is 51, a single mom of three, and currently working on her PhDâsheâs always been someone who juggles a lot. When we first met years ago, she was struggling with perimenopausal symptoms, stress, and the aftermath of an abusive relationship. Like so many women, she had tried everything to lose weight in the past, from extreme calorie restriction to excessive cardio. But it wasnât until she found us that things really started to change for her.
Over the last 18 months, Nicole has lost 30 kilos (about 66 pounds) again, and sheâs done it while learning to truly understand her body. She talked about how sheâs shifted her mindset from obsessing over weight loss to focusing on building muscle and improving her overall health. Nicoleâs now at a place where sheâs tracking her progress without letting the data control her emotionally, and sheâs feeling stronger and more empowered than ever.
One of the things that really stood out in our conversation was how strength training has been the most effective therapy for her. Itâs not just about the physical changes, but the confidence and joy that comes with being strong and capable. Sheâs now doing things she couldnât have imagined a year ago, like solo camping and just enjoying life more fully.
Nicoleâs advice to other women? Look beyond the quick fix. Focus on long-term health goals and find a âwhyâ thatâs bigger than just how you look. Itâs about being active, healthy, and enjoying life for many years to come.
I hope Nicoleâs journey inspires you to keep going, even when it feels tough. Remember, this is a lifestyle change, not a race. Take it one step at a time, and keep your eyes on the bigger picture. đȘ

In our latest group coaching call, Coach Craig focused on the essential strategies for achieving effective body recomposition, especially for women over 40. Hereâs a glimpse of what he discussed:
đStrength Training for Muscle Growth:
Craig highlighted the importance of lifting heavier weights with proper form and consistency. Building muscle requires patience and progressively challenging your body. Craig provided personalized feedback on membersâ training regimens, emphasising that sustainable muscle growth takes time and effort.
đProper Nutrition:
Adequate nutrition is crucial for supporting muscle growth and recovery. He discussed the need for a balanced diet rich in protein and sufficient calories to fuel workouts. Avoiding excessively low-calorie diets is important to prevent muscle loss and maintain energy levels.
đSetting Realistic Goals:
Craig addressed the common frustration of not seeing immediate results. He explained that while fat loss can be quickly visible, muscle building is a slower process. Setting realistic expectations and celebrating small progress is key to staying motivated.
đStrength Goals Before Fat Loss:
Craig stressed the importance of hitting specific strength milestones before entering a fat loss phase. For example, achieving certain weights in lifts like the Romanian deadlift, squat, and bench press ensures you have enough muscle mass to maintain during a calorie deficit. This approach prevents muscle loss and enhances overall body composition.
đMindset and Consistency:
Shifting from a short-term goal mindset to embracing a long-term lifestyle change is vital. Consistency in both training and nutrition, along with a positive mindset, can lead to significant and sustainable body recomposition.
This coaching call with Craig showcases the personalised support and expert advice our members receive in our Group Coaching Program + App.

đ Corey's Journey đ
Corey started her journey looking to lose weight and found our program through Instagram (yes, the orange juice caught her eye!). Despite working out regularly, she wasnât seeing results and was struggling with poor sleep, high stress, and low energy.
đȘ Results đȘ
Weight Loss: Over 20 pounds lost and multiple inches gone, especially around her midsection.
Sleep & Energy: Improved sleep quality and sustained energy throughout the day.
Fitness: Significant boost in cardiovascular health and strength. Corey can now power up hills without stopping!

With a hectic schedule and a demanding job, Corey used to grab whatever food she could on the go. Now, sheâs learned to fuel her body with nutritious meals that support her busy lifestyle. She shares how meal-prepping and consistent habits have made all the difference.
đ€ Why Coaching? đ€
Corey emphasises the importance of having a coach to guide and hold her accountable. Kathleen, her dedicated coach, helped her navigate challenges and stay on track, turning what seemed like a daunting process into a manageable and enjoyable journey.
