    #117 - Dealing With Body Dysmorphia And Self Criticism On Your Fat Loss Journey

    10/05/2026 | 25 mins.
    You'd think that the leaner you get, the better you'd feel about your body. And sometimes that's true. But what nobody talks about is that for a lot of women, the opposite happens. You lose the weight, and somehow you're picking yourself apart more than when you started. 
    It's actually a real thing; your brain can take up to 30 months to catch up with the changes in your body. So today, I'm breaking down why this happens and giving you some things you can do right now to stop being at war with yourself while you're literally crushing your goals. 
    Let me know if this one hits home. 
    Xoxo,

    #116 - Muscle Building, Nutrition, Lifting And Fat Loss Q&A

    05/05/2026 | 47 mins.
    This was a BIG one and I know you'll love it. Here's what we cover:

    How to cope with feeling you don't train hard enough (RPE 7)
    Any tips on transitioning from fat loss to maintenance without regaining the weight?
    How many exercises/sets do you actually need to maintain already built muscle?
    What's the difference between asking ChatGPT coaching me and you coaching me?
    Tips for safe benching/squats without a spotter?
    How often do you do a deload & for how long?
    Do you have to consume your entire dose of creatine in a certain amount of time?
    Can you share your experience with your powerlifting comp? The hype and the prior training
    Training focused on bodybuilding vs training focused on strength - what are the differences?
    How to combine lifting and running without affecting muscle mass?
    How do I maximize muscle growth while needing extra recovery time in my 40s?
    Improving grip strength? Grip gives when the other muscles still have more in the tank
    Mindset please. Dedication over motivation but you're sick, heavy flow, depressed and had therapy
    Top 3 tips to start online coaching?
    How to ensure enough protein intake as someone who doesn't eat a lot of meat.
    Trying to gain muscle as a vegan but it's hard. Any tips?
    Protein goals as a vegetarian — I eat eggs, dairy, beans, quinoa, protein powder and worry it's not enough. I am around 70kg, 158cm, 28.5kg muscle, eating between 130–140g protein. I want more muscle — is it possible without meat? 3 years gym, 5 days a week, weights only
    I've been at the gym 3 years and 4 months — do you believe beginners can improve lifting heavy? I want to but I think everyone around me (trainer included) doesn't think I can. I don't play sport, I just love the gym and lifting. And how to improve technique and lift heavy as a beginner?

    #115 - 5 Things You've Got Wrong About Calorie Tracking

    26/04/2026 | 28 mins.
    In this episode, we’re going over 5 things you’ve probably got wrong about calorie tracking.
    If you’re on a fitness journey and your goal is to change your body composition, you’ve likely either used this tool, or at least considered it. But calorie tracking is often demonised, especially outside of the fitness world and I see so many of you guys get stuck in limiting beliefs that ultimately stop you from reaching your goals. So today, MY goal is to help you change that.
    Let me know what you think!
