Doing It Anyway

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain and taking you behind the mic of Navigating Your 20s.

I share why I started this podcast in the first place (spoiler: my brain literally can’t hold all these ideas), how losing 20kg cracked open a whole new identity for me, and why my opinions are actually the reason I’ve built such a powerful community of girls in their 20s.

We dive into:

• Why your personal brand is really just your values in action

• The confidence shift that happens when you stop people-pleasing

• How I balance coaching, boundaries, and showing up for myself and my clients

• The reality of navigating setbacks (like getting sick after going too hard) without losing yourself
  

This episode is for every girl in her 20s who wants to build confidence, live in alignment, and glow up without falling into toxic hustle culture or fad diets.

And remember; this isn’t just my podcast, it’s ours. Drop your anonymous questions, stories, and struggles below. Together, we’re writing the guide to our 20s.

If you’ve ever lost weight… only to gain it straight back, felt bloated the second you added carbs, or thought maintenance was just a “waste of time”; this episode is going to change how you see fat loss forever.

Today we’re diving deep into reverse dieting, the maintenance phase, and why living in a calorie deficit 24/7 is the exact reason you keep plateauing, regaining weight, and losing confidence.

Inside, I’ll break down:

• Why reverse dieting is often more important than the fat loss phase itself

• The science behind water retention, bloating, and carb intake during maintenance

• How to actually sit at your maintenance calories without panicking about weight gain

• The biggest mistakes women in their 20s make when jumping in and out of diets

• How to create results that last (so you’re not starting over every summer)

Whether your goal is toning up, losing 5-10kg, or feeling confident in your clothes again, this episode will help you finally understand the missing piece that every quick-fix program leaves out.

If you’re ready for sustainable fat loss, balanced energy, and long-term body confidence, this is the episode you cannot skip.

If we were on a hot girl walk right now… this is exactly what I’d be telling you... ranting back & forth about this silly little life. It really isn't that deep.

This new monthly segment is raw, unfiltered, and full of the realisations, rants, and tough love you need in your 20s. In today’s chat, we dive into why relying on other people to change will always leave you anxious and unsettled, how to take responsibility when life feels overwhelming, and why self-belief is the number one thing holding you back from your dream body and dream life.

I also get into the messy truth about:
✨ Outgrowing relationships when they’re not evolving with you
✨ Why cost of living isn’t the excuse you think it is for feeling stuck
✨ Family and friends who don’t “get it” (and why that doesn’t matter)
✨ The biggest lie you’re telling yourself about being “lucky” vs. putting in the work

This is your sign to stop waiting for external validation and start building the version of you you’ll be proud of. Plug in your headphones, hit play, and let’s walk through it together.
