The UNFILTERED Empowered Woman Podcast

In this episode I sit down with FMG Competitor, Strength & Leadership Coach, PT, client and friend - Chloe Millett.
Chloe is currently prepping for her next few FMG shows, but in this episode we speak about how much she struggled post comp after her last show - the food noise, the binging, the imposter syndrome and the guilt from never feeling like she did enough.
This is a powerful conversation all women will enjoy, not just competitors as we go deep into where these struggles actually came from (hint: NOT her willpower), how she overcame them and what she's done differently this time around to avoid falling into this trap again.

If you feel like you’re either “on track”… or completely off the rails with food —
this is for you.
The guilt.
The all-or-nothing mindset.
The constant food noise.
It’s exhausting.
One minute you’re disciplined, hitting your macros, feeling in control…
Next minute?
You’ve “messed it up”
and suddenly it’s a full spiral of
overeating → guilt → “I’ll start again Monday.”
And the worst part?
You think the solution is:
more discipline
more restriction
more control
But that’s the exact thing keeping you stuck.
In this podcast episode (and my workshop), I break down:
why guilt actually fuels binge eating
why the all-or-nothing mindset feels safe (but keeps you stuck)
what food noise really is and why it won’t switch off
and how to lose 5–10kgs without starting over every week
Because you don’t need to be more “perfect” with food.
You need to understand what’s actually driving the cycle.
Once you do?

Everything changes.

You don’t need someone else to make your life feel exciting.
You need to start choosing yourself.
Taking yourself out.
Dressing up for no reason.
Romanticising your own life instead of waiting for someone else to.
Because when you actually fall in love with yourself,
everything changes.
Your standards rise.
Your energy shifts.
And you stop settling for anything that doesn’t feel right.

This episode is your reminder that you are the love you’ve been waiting for

You’re not bingeing because you lack discipline.
You’re bingeing because your body is trying to feel safe.
And the moment you try to change - eat more, rest, stop the binge,
you feel guilty.
So you think:
“I must be doing something wrong”
But guilt isn’t a red flag,
it’s a sign you’re doing something different
Your nervous system cares about what’s familiar, not what’s right.
So if restriction and bingeing are familiar, healing WILL feel uncomfortable at first.
This is why you keep going back to old patterns.
Not because you’re broken.
But because your body hasn’t learned it’s safe yet

Competing doesn’t just change your body, it changes your relationship with food.
During prep, everything becomes controlled, tracked, and earned, and you unknowingly train your brain to see food as either “good” or “bad.”
So when prep ends and you try to eat normally again, it doesn’t feel relaxed — it feels confusing, guilty, and out of control.
That’s not a lack of discipline, it’s conditioning.
And if you don’t fix it, you’ll carry it into every prep and off-season.
In this episode I break down why this happens and how to actually build a healthy, stable relationship with food so you can last in this sport.
