In this episode, we reflect on the lessons, challenges, and growth that defined 2025 while setting our focus and intentions for the year ahead. We talk openly about what it looks like to truly combine lives, maintain integrity in a world full of noise and skepticism, and continue speaking your truth even when it is uncomfortable. We also explore how to handle negativity, avoid procrastination, and narrow in on one meaningful goal. Along the way, we dive into how environment shapes behavior, the importance of communication, and what it really takes to become the person you want to be in the new year.We talk about:-combining our lives-skepticism in the time of AI-saying what you believe-dealing with negative comments-the procrastination trap-focusing on ONE goal-communication and alignment-how your environment drives behaviorTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:42 the year of clean up8:50 how you do anything is how you do everything14:40 working with the right clients21:02 focusing on communication25:50 “new year, new me”37:19 advice to be your best44:10 curating your phone usage49:49 environment drives behaviorCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we open up about the very real anxiety, pressure, and emotional weight that can come with the holiday season. We also talk about what it looks like to create magic for the people we love while still honoring our own needs, limits, and growth. From navigating the first year of marriage, to balancing household roles, to learning how to support one another deeply and intentionally, this conversation is honest, heart-centered, and full of moments that remind us of the power of partnership, belief, and being each other’s biggest fan.We talk about:-Bringing back the Christmas spirit-Making the holidays magical for others-Navigating the first year of marriage-Sharing household duties in a real and honest way-Giving your partner room to shine-Having someone who truly believes in you-Being your partner’s biggest supporter-Building connection and authentic relationshipsTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction4:30 making the holidays magical9:10 plans for the new year11:55 “roommate” issues17:33 internal agreements as a wife27:00 feeling “dependent” as a wife40:01 supporting each other48:20 building true relationshipsCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we answer one of the most common and confusing questions in body transformation: what is your ideal body weight, and what does it actually mean to be in maintenance? We break down how to identify a healthy body composition, how to stop cycling between restriction during the week and overeating on the weekends, and why maintenance is a skill, not a finish line. This conversation is about long-term sustainability, realistic expectations, and learning how to live in a body you can actually maintain.We talk about:-why you should not follow a diet you would not want your kids to follow-why the process matters more than shortcuts-why difficult does not automatically mean effective-developing a healthier mentality around the scale-fears around getting “bulky”-understanding energy in, energy out-learning to follow hunger and fullness cuesTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction1:56 finding your goal weight8:05 making sustainable choices11:06 how you know you’ve lost enough weight17:00 the “last 10 pounds”21:09 going through a build phase25:30 distorted body image29:08 when to eat at maintenance37:40 “eating clean”43:05 knowing when you’re hungry or full48:15 how to get your questions answeredCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we dig into the cycle of losing and gaining the same 20 pounds. We explore the beliefs and mindset patterns that quietly sabotage long-term change and why willpower alone will never be enough. This conversation is all about shifting how you think, strengthening what you value, and creating a way of living that supports the transformation you want—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or convinced that you “should have this figured out by now,” this one will hit home.We talk about:-strengthening your values-committing to yourself-finding freedom in the gray area-borrowing belief when yours feels low-moving forward after being burned-continuing your education and your growthTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:03 how you do anything is how you do everything7:47 committing when life is busy12:20 finding clarity18:45 “I should have this figured out”30:42 being leet down before41:40 “life coaches”46:17 the use of AI in DMs49:53 talking about moneyCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we open up about the real-life struggles that show up in marriage and personal life — the stress, the anxiety, the messy moments, and the ways we choose to work through them. From juggling blended family dynamics to learning what true intimacy and safety feel like, this conversation is grounded in honesty and the lessons we’ve learned the hard way. We dive into what it means to be loved for who you are, how past experiences shape current boundaries, and why living in integrity matters in every relationship you’re part of.We talk about:-balancing work schedules and personal time-navigating life with children and step-children-setting boundaries based on past experiences-being loved for who you are, not who you “should” be-living in integrity within your relationship-how men bond and express connectionTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:20 balancing family, work, and personal time17:30 intimacy and connection27:20 feeling safe and seen34:30 respectful conflict and disagreements 40:01 sharing phone passwords49:58 looking at other men or women58:16 does your husband actually care?CONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to “show up” in your life, your relationship, and your health. Your standards, your habits, and your communication do not exist in isolation — they influence the people closest to you, especially when you are trying to make changes and your partner is not on the same page. We dig into the emotional, practical, and relational sides of pursuing growth while maintaining connection, and how your behavior can inspire change without pressure or resentment. This conversation is for anyone navigating personal goals while trying to honor their relationship at the same time.We talk about:-setting standards for yourself-leading with curiosity-having hard conversations-assuming the worst-supporting your partner-how you do anything is how you do everything-environment dictates behavior-building emotional connectionTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction7:43 raising your own waterline12:40 communicating your needs21:15 creating a feeling a safety 29:45 shifting your identity for body transformation 36:15 taking accountability40:09 being “equal” in your fitness48:10 physiological and psychological health57:56 problem solving togetherCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we break down the beliefs that quietly keep people stuck. These are the stories you repeat, the assumptions you cling to, and the patterns you justify that ultimately limit your growth. We explore how your environment, your relationships, your expectations, and even your idea of “readiness” shape your ability to move forward. If you feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels, this conversation will help you see what is holding you back and what it actually takes to create meaningful change.We talk about:-when things become important-sacrifices as a parent-the company you keep-consistency is variable-importance of compassion-the idea of self-love-you don’t need to have the answersTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:00 choosing your fitness as a parent7:45 living your values11:45 what makes a good parent17:07 is it the right time?24:20 ready is a lie30:03 attributes of your partner34:57 who you’ve been versus who you’re becoming45:18 what we mean by what we sayCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we dive into one of our most requested topics—values and becoming the person you want to be. We explore what it really means to live in alignment with your principles, how to identify blind spots, and why personal integrity is the foundation of fulfillment.

In this episode, we dive into the truth about why most people don’t see results from their body transformation efforts. It’s not about the perfect plan, the newest trend, or the most advanced workout—it’s about how you approach the process itself. We break down the mindset shifts, habits, and self-honesty required to create lasting change. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of starting over or feeling like you’re doing everything “right” without results, this conversation will help you realign your focus and simplify your approach.We talk about:-Why simple is scalable-The importance of staying consistent-Why taking care of yourself isn’t selfish-Recognizing when you’re lying to yourself-The power of focused intention-Letting go of perfection-Building identity through discipline-The psychology behind real transformationTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:19 stop overthinking things9:14 identity as an indicator of success14:27 having an “ideal” weight16:28 the integrity gap24:50 wanting the outcome without the effort26:48 psychology of transformation33:09 doing hard things38:30 doing both at once46:24 self-betrayal48:59 surprise!CONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/maverickonlinecoaching/SLAE: https://www.instagram.com/slaehormonesolutions/Website for SLAE Hormone Solution: https://slaehormonesolutions.com/Ask anonymous questions: https://ngl.link/maverickonlinecoaching1 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we dive into what a true coaching relationship should look like and how to find the right coach for your goals. We break down what questions to ask, what red flags to watch out for, and how to spot marketing that sounds good but lacks substance. Coaching should be about developing the skills you need to maintain your results long-term, not relying on someone forever. We also discuss how to identify credible professionals, why credentials may or may not matter, and what real behavior change looks like. Whether you’re searching for a new coach or rethinking your current one, this conversation will help you set clear expectations and make informed decisions.We talk about:-Gaining the skills to sustain results-Do coaches really need credentials?-Finding the best coach for you-Why body transformation is a byproduct-“Menopause experts” and misleading claims-True behavior modification-Being misled by marketingTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:12 what is a coach?7:32 setting expectations13:30 coaches that take short cuts18:51 identifying your problems20:50 figuring out what motivates you28:27 coaching practicing outside their scope41:31 selling a time frame47:13 knowing your values53:40 closing thoughtsCONNECT WITH KAIT:1:1 Coaching: ⁠https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157⁠IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/⁠Email: ⁠https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list⁠Free FB Community: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfP⁠CONNECT WITH MAVERICK:1:1 Coaching: ⁠https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157⁠IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/maverickonlinecoaching/⁠SLAE: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/slaehormonesolutions/⁠Website for SLAE Hormone Solution: ⁠https://slaehormonesolutions.com/⁠Ask anonymous questions: ⁠https://ngl.link/maverickonlinecoaching1 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in health and fitness: metabolism. Is your metabolism actually “broken,” or is it simply adapting to your habits, lifestyle, and environment? We break down what metabolism really means, what affects it, and what you can do to support it through sustainable movement, nutrition, and mindset. If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you, this conversation will help you understand how to work with it instead.We talk about:-The MFW approach: movement, food, and work-Whether you can truly change your metabolism-Investing in lean body mass-The inaccuracy of “calories burned” metrics-The role of personal development in health-How you use food to fuel your goals-Why your habits matter more than your age-A scholarship opportunity for listenersTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:18 metabolism explained5:15 the importance of movement12:01 blaming your age17:24 nutrient dense and high protein foods25:12 learning how to think instead of learning how to do32:43 doing the work, but what work?38:45 making different decisions41:18 being your best versionCONNECT WITH KAIT:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/maverickonlinecoaching/SLAE: https://www.instagram.com/slaehormonesolutions/Website for SLAE Hormone Solution: https://slaehormonesolutions.com/Ask anonymous questions: https://ngl.link/maverickonlinecoaching1 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we break down the top five most distracting things in fitness—the habits, trends, and gimmicks that pull people away from what actually drives results. Too often, people major in the minors, chasing supplements, fad workouts, or the “perfect” plan, while ignoring the foundational behaviors that truly matter for long-term health and strength. We dive into what sustainability really looks like, how to shift your mindset around weight loss, and why “optimal” is often a lie that keeps you stuck. Whether it is navigating the supplement industry, choosing your “hard,” or challenging the perception of certain workouts, this conversation is about cutting through the noise so you can focus on what works.We talk about:-Truths for sustainability-Real behavior changes that stick-Predatory supplement industry tactics-Mindset and perception surrounding weight loss-Why “optimal” is misleading-Choosing your “hard” in fitness and life-Why it is never too late to start-The truth about PilatesTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction1:48 the “right” diet10:21 which supplements to take17:04 GLPs and hormones23:48 mindset around weightloss29:02 focusing on the wrong type of training36:27 “optimal” is a lie41:20 the fear of becoming your parentsCONNECT WITH KAIT:IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:IG: https://www.instagram.com/maverickonlinecoaching/SLAE: https://www.instagram.com/slaehormonesolutions/Website for SLAE Hormone Solution: https://slaehormonesolutions.com/Website for Maverick Online Coaching: https://maverickonlinecoaching.net/coachingAsk anonymous questions: https://ngl.link/maverickonlinecoaching1 Hosted on Acast.
