A lot of people think coaching only works when life is calm — when stress is low, motivation is high, and time magically appears. And that belief alone is why most people never change.In this episode, I break down what coaching actually is — and what it definitely isn’t. It’s not control, rigid plans, or punishment for not being perfect. Real coaching is a conversation. It’s problem-solving. It’s learning how to move forward when life is busy, messy, and unpredictable — because that’s when support matters most.We talk about why “now isn’t the right time” is usually the point, why progress still counts even when tracking or training isn’t perfect, and how sleep, stress, mood, and organisation matter more than motivation ever will. I also get honest about why giving up feels good in the moment — and why it always costs you later.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad at consistency,” that you always fall off, or that you need everything to be perfect before you start — this episode will challenge those stories.Because coaching isn’t about doing everything right.It’s about not quitting when things go wrong.And if you’re waiting for the perfect time to work on yourself — you’ll be waiting forever.

December can feel like the perfect storm: social events, disrupted routines, unpredictable schedules, family dynamics, end-of-year stress — all layered on top of your desire to keep moving toward your goals. In this episode, we explore how overwhelm can make you feel like you’re falling short, even when you’re actually doing better than you think.Inspired by *The Four Agreements*, we focus on one principle that becomes especially important this time of year: **Do Your Best**. And your “best” will not look the same every day — especially during a month like this.We break down 10 real-life holiday scenarios and show what “doing your best” could genuinely look like in each. No guilt, no perfectionism, no unrealistic expectations — just calm, grounded decision-making that supports progress, maintenance, and your overall wellbeing. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the steps that helped me reach my own fitness goals — and more importantly, maintain them for the long term. These aren’t quick fixes or extreme rules.

We talk about mastering nutrition instead of guessing, learning to enjoy your social life without sabotaging results, prioritising sleep, doing the personal work that keeps you grounded, and holding yourself accountable even when motivation fades.If you’ve ever wondered what actually creates sustainable change — not just temporary results — this episode gives you the blueprint I still follow today.
