Iām on such a high after an amazing conversation with my long-term client, Liz. Her story is SO inspiring, and Iām thrilled to share it with you. Liz was once just like many of you, struggling with her body image, and trapped in binge-restrict cycles. But her journey shows whatās possible when you start focusing on the right things.
In this episode, weāll dive into:
- How she went from lacking confidence to being completely leaned out, free from binge-restrict cycles, and empowered in her body.
- How she overcame her fear of food, ditched the swollen lower belly, and embraced intuitive eating.
- The powerful mindset transformation that allowed Liz to value herself, trust her body, and take control of her own nutrition & exercise strategy.
- The incredible shift that gave Liz the confidence to train for a half marathon and believe in her ability to achieve whatever she sets her mind to.
Lizās story is a testament to the power of valuing yourself and trusting your journey. If youāve ever felt stuck, struggling with confidence, or chasing an idea of perfection, this episode is for you. I really hope this inspires you to take the action YOU need to create the change YOU want in your life.

This episode will give you the clarity you need to make the best decision for where youāre at in your fitness journey right now. I'll break down exactly what each phase is all about and how to choose the one that aligns with your goals.
Hereās what weāll cover:
- Why understanding nutritional phases is crucial for lasting results
- The biggest mistake people make in their nutrition plans (and how to avoid it)

In this episode I'm interviewing my amazing client, Claudia, who just completed her first 12 weeks inside the Fit & Free Academy. Claudiaās story is truly inspirational, and Iām so grateful she decided to share it.
We dive deep into Claudiaās starting point: her struggles with under eating and over exercisingāhow she found herself trapped in a cycle of extremely low calories and daily workouts that consumed her life. She talks about her experience with extreme 400-500 calorie diets, as well as pushing herself with daily cardio and steps, and having little to nothing to show for it in terms of physique results.
Then, we talk about where she's at right now, and how she's not only seeing ACTUAL toning results šš, but doing it with a new-found sense of freedom and balance.
I hope Claudiaās journey shows you that with the right mindset, exercise, and nutrition strategy, itās totally possible for you to break free and achieve your goals in a sustainable, healthy way. ā¤ļø

When it comes to over-eating on the weekend, there are 2 types of patterns:
ā Pattern 1 goes a little something like this:
Youāve been hardcore dieting all week, restricting calories, and eating ācleanā foods. By the time the weekend hits, you think, āIāve been so good, I deserve a treat.ā But all of a sudden that treat turns into an explosion of so many calories. The guilt sets in, and you feel like youāve ruined your progress. You tell yourself you need to be even stricter next week, maybe add in some extra cardio to undo the ādamage.ā
Or maybe youāre just craving the foods youāve deprived yourself of all week. A doughnut turns into three, and before you know it, youāve hit the āfuck itā button, deciding to go all-out the entire weekend and start fresh on Monday.
ā The other one goes a little like this:
Youāre CONSTANTLY restricting because youāre terrified of eating too much and undoing your progress. But every time you go outāwhether itās a social event, a movie, or a family dinnerāyou lose control. You overeat, feel extreme guilt, beat yourself up for days, and then go back to hardcore restriction.
The emotional toll this cycle takes is immense. It robs you of happiness, affects your relationships, and changes how you show up in all areas of your lifeāwhether in your career, at home, with your kids, or with your partner. ā¤ļø
Thatās why this episode is all about helping you break free from these destructive patterns. Weāll explore why itās happening, so you can finally understand why youāre stuck in this cycle and how to stop it.
If youāve ever felt trapped by overeating and the guilt that follows, this episode is for you. š„

From the age of 16 to 26, food controlled my life. People admired my discipline, my dedication to the gym, and my ability to say no to high calorie ābadā foods. But the truth was, it wasnāt about health or discipline for meāit was about self-loathing and control. Food noise consumed me, and I know Iām not alone in this struggle.
Thatās why in this episode, we dive deep into the concept of *food noise*āthat constant mental chatter about food, calories, and meal planning that can dominate your thoughts and interfere with your daily life.
If youāve ever found yourself lying in bed at night obsessing over calories, or if social events make you anxious because they donāt fit into your plan, and could therefore undo your progress, then I am talking to YOU ā¤ļø.
Weāre going to cover the signs of food noise, such as:
- Constantly worrying about food choices and feeling guilty about eating higher-calorie foods.
- Beating yourself up for going over your calorie limit or avoiding foods because you canāt track them.
- Being stuck in a cycle of overeating and under-eating.
This episode uncovers:
1. Why you might be experiencing food noise and how it developed.2. Why food noise is bad, and how it slows or even completely STOPS you from achieving body composition goals.
3. Practical steps to silence the food noise and get back control over your life.
4. Why itās important to address the issue ASAP due to the long term health and mental wellbeing implications.

To my ladies who are still under the impression that eating more carbs is going to make them gain weight, and that they canāt achieve their dream body if theyāre eating carbsā¦
I GET IT. We see it all over social media: people saying
ādonāt eat this foodā,
ādonāt eat that foodā,
ācut out carbsā,
ādo ketoā
ādo paleoāā¦
so itās SO HARD to know what to believe, and especially if youāre not happy with your body, itās easy to latch on to these things because they give us that little shred of hope that this could FINALLY be the thing that is going to get you to where you want to beā¦
ā¦but I almost GUARANTEE that if youāre doing this youāre probably also struggling with
š© Binge restrict cycles
š„± Low energy
š©ø Not having your period
š Not progressing in the gymā¦
ā¦and overall not happy with your body composition. š«
Until you start eating carbs and actually fuelling your body correctly youāre NEVER going to see the results you want in your body, and in this episode Iām going to explain why, and how you can start including them on a daily basis, so that you can start reaching your body composition goals with EASE āØ

Itās crazy to me that so many women STILL think that they need to always eat in a calorie deficit, or eat really low calories, or cut out certain foods to cut their cals really low or cut out certain foods to see results in their body.
As an example - one of the questions I get asked MOST as a nutritionist is āShould I be eating this food?ā Or āIs this a good food, or a bad food?ā
Itās wild to me to how much influence diet culture still has on us todayā¦ and unfortunately it is this belief and mentality that is holding SO many women back from actually reaching their body composition goalsā¦ So do YOU have too many rules & restrictions around food? And could THAT be the thing holding you back from reaching your body composition goals?
Today I take you through 4 really solid signs this is happening to you, and if youāre experiencing any of these, itās probably a red flag you have too many restrictions in your diet and THATās the thing you need to look at. Not the exercise, not a different diet or meal plan, but actually your mindset that you need to work on to be successful.

This episode is for ALL the people in your life you hold dear to your heart. Your parents, your partner, your friends, and your CHILDREN.
I struggled with my calorie and body obsession for a good 26 years of my life, and since my fiancĆ© Niels and I have been together for 10 years, heās pretty much seen it all! The good, the bad, and the F%^&ing UGLY.
There were times where the way I treated Niels wasnāt fair at all. I was an irritable, moody bitch at times! I was cold, I was ANGRY. I know I didnāt mean any of it, and all of it had to do with the mental battle that was going on inside my head when it came to food and my body, but I still did that.
Thatās why this episode I'm bringing on Niels! Iāve written out a list of questions and Niels has NO IDEA what Iām going to ask him, so this interview is going to be raw, and from the heart. Itās going to be Nielsā point of view, to show you what it was REALLY like dating a person who had such low self-worth, self-esteem, and a poor relationship with food, and what it was REALLY like being married to this cold moody bitch šāāļøšā¦
...AND to normalise that thereās a story behind everyone, and NO-ONEāS life is made up of just a constant social media highlight reel.
My hope is that this episode opens your eyes and shows you that fixing your constant thoughts about calories IS about you, but itās also about ALL THE PEOPLE around you that you love, and the impact you have on them! Itās not fair on them, and itās time to clean this S#$% up.
Let me know if you like it, and Iāll bring him back on!

Bit of a podcast hiatus, but Iām back! āš½ This episode is about chocolate!ā¦
Kidding obviouslyā¦ I do love chocolate, but this episode is more about why cutting out the foods you love is the WORST way to get the body you want. Itās a cautionary tale about what happens when I cut out the food I love - CHOCOLATE, to show anyone that is currently going down that road why itās actually not going to help you with your body composition goals at all.
In this episode I want to take you back in time to tell you about my own experience when I was in my dieting and restricted era. You might look at me nowadays and think that Iāve got it all together when it comes to eating food guilt and shame free, confident in the gym and stuff, but I definitely didnāt used to be that way.
I used to be TERRIFIED of eating more food. I had the WORST relationship with food, and a lot of the things I was doing I didnāt even realise were cockblocking me from actually achieving my body composition goals.
I thought I had to cut out all of these foods like carbs, that I had to eat clean, and wasnāt allowed to have a milky coffee if I wanted to get the body I wanted. I thought it was my lack of willpower and discipline that kept me from reaching the body I wanted. What I didnāt realise is I was missing vital pieces in the puzzle and THAT was the real reason why I wasnāt seeing the results I wanted in my body.
SO this is why I wanted to tell you about my dieting era, with all of the rules and restrictions, so that anyone that currently has ANY rules and restrictions in their diet realises they need to change their strategy because it is INEFFECTIVE.

What youāre doing might not actually be in alignment with what you want your body to look likeā¦ and thatās what todayās episode is all about. The 3 BIGGEST mistakes I see when people are trying to achieve a toned physique.
So if you want to look freakinā FIT AF, you want to build muscle, and get lean, but all the things youāre doing is driving you crazy, and youāre seeing seeing no results, especially for the amount of effort youāre putting in, and if you want toned glutes, a snatched waist, a firm lean body, and to do all of that without calorie counting so that you can actually see real sustainable change in your body, then this episode is for you.
When people donāt look like they work out, theyāll typically focus on lowering their calories, and doing more exercise, but it doesnāt work, and they get confused as to why.
They often think they need to lower their calories even MORE, but this completely destroys their relationship with food, and they start questioning everything they put in their mouth.
āAm I eating too much?ā āWill eating this make me gain fat?ā etc...
If youāre here you might be
šavoiding family dinners
šso food focused and fixated on calories
šunable to enjoy times with friendsā¦
ā¦because if you donāt, youāre probably worried you might undo your progress, and you are scared you might gain weight, especially after all the hard work you put in to try to get to where you are now with your body.

What if a calorie deficit WASNāT the fastest way to reaching your body goals?
What if all this time youāve been focusing on trying to eat low calories, and burn calories with your exercise, when thatās actually taking you FURTHER AWAY from your goals?! š± For some people, that is absolutely a reality!
So if youāre someone whoās thinking about food all the freaking time, then youāve probably been:
š„¬tracking every single calorie you eat, down to the last lettuce leaf,
š„¬and the second you canāt track the calories (for example when you eat out) you either wonāt eat it at all, OR youāll eat it anyways, and then beat yourself up for it.
You might even be making up rules and restrictions about when you should and shouldnāt eat, like:
šāIāve had such a big breakfast, I should have a small lunchāšāIāve already had a piece of bread for breakfast, so I canāt have any for lunchā
šāIāve already eaten too much todayā
And youāre probably even comparing your food to other peopleās saying things to yourself like:
š±āOMG how can I eat so much more than those people? I must be over-eatingā
If youāre doing 1 or more of these things Iāll bet youāre still not happy with your body composition, despite your best efforts!
Thatās why in this episode, weāre breaking down 8 signs you actually need to stop eating in a calorie deficit if you want to reach your body goals.

Thereās a HUGE misconception out there that Iāve been seeing all over my TikTok comments, and thatās that people think that:
āIf you just lose weight, youāre gonna get a toned bodyā
I want to challenge that challenge that, because I did that! I lost 10kg and I was still not happy with my body because I STILL didnāt look TONED.
And I know this is not everyoneās goal, but for the girls want a perky butt, beautiful toned arms, and a snatched waist, you do need to be doing the right exercise and eating in the right way to achieve that.
If you just want to lose a bit of weight, feel good, and have more energy, thatās a COMPLETELY different conversationā¦
ā¦but if youāre in the other boat like ME and you want your body to look a certain way, then your exercise, nutrition & mindset need to be in alignment with that.
If youāre
šŖShowing up consistently exercising 5x a week and eating under 1400 calories
šŖHitting step count, always closing rings on your watch
šŖEat really well eat healthy, and always stick to your calorie targets
š« yet you donāt look toned/ your body doesnāt reflect the effort youāre putting in
If youāre already showing up, wouldnāt you want a method that ACTUALLY works? Because for a lot of people thatās all it comes down to in the end. So in this episode, Iām going to show you how to ACTUALLY go from skinny fat to toned, and finally be freakinā confident in your body SUSTAINABLY, ie. FOR LIFE, instead of for a couple of weeks.

When people don't see results with their bodies, typically the FIRST conclusion they jump to is that their NUTRITION is the problem. This might be true in some cases, but in A LOT of cases, it's actually their exercise.
Specifically, how they STRUCTURE their exercise. And look, if you're just trying to move your body to get the health benefits of exercise, and you don't have a body goal, then this episode is NOT for you...but if you want a perky butt, a snatched waist, and toned arms, and you're:
showing up almost DAILY with your exercise and nutrition,
thinking the more exercise you do, the faster you'll reach your goals,
focused on getting sweaty fat burning workouts, and burning as many calories as you can
feeling guilty when you have a rest day,
yet you DON'T look like you work out, this episode is going to help you figure out whether your exercise is the problem, AND going to give you tangible tips you can implement that will allow you to get the most out of your exercise routine so that you ACTUALLY see results towards your toning goals š.

Just because your Pilates instructor looks super lean & toned, doesn't mean that if YOU do Pilates, you will also have that body. ā¬ļø
Just because someone looks the way they do in that specific moment, doesnāt mean what they're currently doing is how they got there!
This is a huge trap I see so many people fall into. You only have to take 1 look at your TikTok For You Page, or a Google search, and in 30 seconds you're already bombarded with 1000 different versions of:
āI lost weight when I started doing X"...
Whether it's pilates, "hot girl walks", hot yoga, cardio, or whatever, it's easy to start wondering:
"should I be doing this? What should I do to get the body I want?"
Chances are that NO. No it's not what you should be doing. SO that's why in this episode I break down in detail the science behind how I'm personally setting up my nutrition, exercise and mindset to build my best body in 2024, so you can get a much deeper understanding how to achieve any sort of body composition goal for YOURSELF. ALSO, it's going to show you that you DON'T have to keep dropping your calories lower and lower and lower to get the body you want, and there is a much better way! āØ
And again, just because Iām doing this doesnāt meant mean you should be doing this. The point of this episode is to show you HOW I'm achieving MY goal, so you can set up your nutrition, exercise and mindset to achieve YOURS.

42% of girls are already thinking about losing weight in primary school š±
50-70% of girls are not satisfied with certain parts of their bodies by the time they reach middle school.
How's THAT for some terrifying stats?!
I think it's safe to say poor body image is a pandemic, and culturally, and socially, especially via social media, the world is constantly perpetuating the notion of the "perfect body"...Tall, thin, big breasts, and a big butt. This image of the perfect body can be an extremely powerful, destructive force in our lives.
That's why in this episode we are joined by the lovely Sigi. She's a seasoned health and mindset coach, and eating psychology practitioner, and been a health & fitness coach since 2014. She's an absolute wealth of knowledge, and specialises in the body image and mindset space, and so today we dive deep into body image!
how to improve your body image,what to do when youāre stuck in a comparison loop,and what to do when youāre stuck in the negative self-talk spiral,how to overcome fear of weight gain, so that you can eat more and fuel your body correctlyand practical things that you can do with your nutrition, exercise and mindset starting TODAY to break free from these vicious cycles/ debilitating thought processes, and improve your body image, so that you can actually start seeing some consistent positive change in your body.

In this episode I sit down with psychologist (and former client!) Kim Edwards. We had an amazing conversation about the missing piece that SO many women are missing when it comes to reaching their physique goals, which is their SELF-WORTH.
Having negative self-talk, a low self-esteem or a low self-worth a low sense of self-worth can REALLY put the brakes on your body goals more than ANY exercise or nutrition strategy ever could, and that's why in this episode we dive deep into WHY that is, as well as giving you tangible tips on how you can improve your self-talk, which in turn will help you with your body goals!
I hope this episode sheds light onto, and brings into awareness something you may not have been aware of (A.K.A. a BLIND SPOT!) that might be blocking you from reaching your body goals.

I used to be ADDICTED to MyFitnessPal. š±
I'd set my target at 1500 a day... and that was it! I HAD to reach those numbers every single day...
On the days I'd eat under 1500 I'd be SO proud and happy with myself...
but on the days I went over 1500...it was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. š¢ I'd be DEVASTATED, and promise myself I'd restrict my calories further/eat even less the next day.
At the time I didnāt know what I was doing. Using a random calculator here, a randome piece of advice there. I was stuck in a cycle of always being a calorie deficit, because I was always trying to lose weight.
Because I was always trying so hard to stick to a number in MFP, I completely lost touch with my body. It destroyed my relationship with food, and I started looking at food as just numbers...
In this episode I take you through my journey, and how I broke free from from my MyFitnessPal addiction, in hopes it makes you think about your own relationship with tracking, and potentially help you beat yours! ā¤ļø

A few years ago I was doing ALLLL the right things with my nutrition and exercise...
I was showing up with my exercise daily
I was eating in a calorie deficit.
I was cutting out food that would undo my progress
I was skipping meals and social events out to stay on track
but STILL, I had nothing to show for it in terms of body composition results... something was missing.
That's the reason that today, when it comes to nutrition & exercise I preach a 50/50 approach. You need to be fuelling your body correctly and you need the exercise routine that tones and sculpts your body. But that's JUST 50% of it!
What's the other 50, then, you might ask?
In this episode I take you through how I learned about the other 50% the HARD way.
What it is might surprise you when you listen, because it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with my lack of willpower or discipline...but it changed the game completely for me.
...and thatās why I want to share this with you because I know for a lot of you willpower and discipline is not your problem either, and hopefully I can shed some light on something you haven't been aware of up to this point, so that it can change the game for you too!

Strap in for a raw & honest conversation!
I sat down with fellow exercise physiologist Karla Bosnar. We had a beautiful conversation about Karla's journey, and her struggles with her body, food & with exercise, and how she overcame them.
Karla shares her struggles with her body image for 10 years, which lead her down a dark path of trying diet after diet, detoxes, restrictions, and 8 week challenges, gaining weight and losing it again, constantly ending back where she started, each diet becoming harder and harder to maintain, all the way up to a full blown eating disorder.
NOW, on the other side of it, she's a changed woman. She's a mother of 2 AND business owner, AND SHE'S NEVER LOOKED BETTER! Karla is a PERFECT example of just what you are capable of if you are willing to do the work!
So how did she do it? FIND OUT in this episode.
