Ever feel like you want to make changes—but life just keeps getting in the way? In this episode, we’re diving into a powerful mindset tool that can transform how you approach your health, fitness, and habits: locus of control. You’ll learn:

• What locus of control actually is—and how it shows up in everyday choices
• Why saying things like “I don’t have time” or “I always sabotage myself” might be keeping you stuck
• The link between external control, shame, and procrastination
• How to shift back into ownership without falling into the self-blame trap

I’ll also share real coaching stories from women who went from feeling powerless to taking aligned, consistent action—without needing perfect conditions or more motivation. If you’re tired of starting over, and ready to feel back in the driver’s seat, this one’s for you.

You don’t need another plan—you need a mindset that helps you follow through. In this episode, I’m unpacking why so many smart, capable women struggle with consistency—not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because they’ve internalised a fixed mindset shaped by past failures, perfectionism, and unrealistic expectations. We’ll explore:

• What a growth mindset actually is (and isn’t)
• The everyday language that keeps us stuck in self-sabotage
• Why your beliefs about yourself matter more than willpower
• Real-life coaching shifts that move women from “I always fall off track” to “I know how to get back on track”

I’ll also share personal stories and coaching tools you can use right away to change the story you tell yourself—so you can build habits that stick even when life is messy. This is the mindset foundation behind everything I teach in Empowered—and it could be the shift you’ve been missing.

Ever found yourself halfway through your child’s leftovers… without even realising it? In this episode, we’re talking about those reactive food moments — when stress, tiredness, or emotion take over, and you find yourself eating on autopilot. I introduce you to a powerful tool I use myself (and coach clients through):

👉 The Strategic Pause.

It’s a 5-step process that helps you move from guilt and impulse… to intention and alignment. We’ll explore:

✅ Why you reach for food even when you’re not hungry
✅ How to slow down and ask better questions before you act
✅ A new way to make food decisions that feel grounded, not guilt-ridden
✅ How to build identity-based trust so your habits match who you want to be This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about making one aligned choice at a time — and learning to trust yourself again. Whether you're a busy mum, an equestrian balancing routines, or a professional juggling 50 priorities… this episode will give you the pause you didn’t know you needed.

What comes to mind when you hear “healthy eater”?

Meal prep queen? No sugar, no carbs? Someone with flawless discipline? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the invisible rules and beliefs that shape how we see ourselves around food — and how those beliefs might be holding us back more than we realise. I share parts of my own journey from a rigid, bodybuilding-style nutrition mindset to a more empowered, flexible relationship with food — one rooted in nourishment, joy, and identity-based choices. We’ll explore:

🔁 How past beliefs shape current food guilt
🧠 Why identity and behaviour are more connected than you think

💬 How to start redefining healthy eating in a way that fits your real life This episode is for any woman who’s tired of the all-or-nothing food mindset and ready to build something more sustainable, joyful, and true to who she is now.
