This week, Chloe is joined by the iconic Jaz Davies, who has taken a different approach to her career in fitness.

Jaz decided online coaching from a penthouse in Dubai, churning out 100 check-ins and renting Lamboginis was not the life for her!

Jaz is passionate about strength training and has created a fantastic non-intimidating gym called Uplift in Wandsworth.

Listen to our wonderful conversation about Jaz's career and business and be inspired to know that online coaching is not the pinnacle of every fitness professional's career, despite what the business mentors say.

This week, Michelle and Chloe are back together to chat about chronic pain and body image.

We discuss chronic pain, our journeys, our clinical practice and how it can affect body image.

Chronic pain can significantly impact your clients or patients, so please listen and share your reflections in the comments.

Eating disorders are one of the most lethal mental health conditions - and as coaches we can play a role (even though we aren't actively treating those with EDs).

In today's episode, once I manage to get my words out, you'll learn exactly what and why coaches need to be eating disorder aware.

You'll learn:

• The difference between eating disorders and disordered eating
• Myths about eating disorders
• What causes eating disorders
• Why coaches need to be eating disorder aware

And lots more!

You don't need to post transformation photos to get clients.

But how do you do it then?

Put your top back on and let's discuss.

Today, Michelle spoke to the iconic Shannon Beer, coach, mentor, educator, body image oracle and all-round icon.

We dive into how fitness professionals can successfully market their businesses without relying on outdated, overused tactics.

Forget fear-based messaging, extreme transformations, or pushy sales techniques—this conversation is all about authentic, sustainable marketing strategies that actually connect with your ideal clients - no transformation photos required.

What can you do about it?

Why does it matter?

Let's get into it!

How does the menstrual cycle affect exercise performance, recovery, and training adaptations?

Should you be syncing your training to your cycle?

What about if you're taking oral contraceptives?

How do you track your cycle?

Better ask the Menstrual Cycle oracle, amirite?

Today, Michelle had the pleasure of sitting down with Kelly McNulty, PhD. You might know her as Period of the Period on social media - and she is the go-to for women's health research. Kelly holds a PhD from Northumbria University, and has published several papers about the impact of the menstrual cycle on exercise/performance.

We explore it ALL in today's episode.

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or just curious about the latest research, this conversation will change the way you think about training and female physiology. Tune in for evidence-based insights that empower you to work with your body, not against it!

Shiftwork is not for the faint of heart. If you fancy looking like you're 50 and feeling like you're 85, all whilst being in your mid 20's, shiftwork might be for you.

In addition to increasing your Botox bill, shiftwork can also lead to risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Score!

It has long been assumed this was due to the trash diet of shiftworkers, but new research suggests this may not be the full story.

Join Michelle as she talks through all things shiftwork and how to improve your nutrition, meal timing and overall health despite shiftwork doing it's best to get you to do the opposite.

Performance ≠ health - but half the fitness industry isn't ready for that conversation.

While performance goals can have positive effects on body image and self-worth, they’re not always a guarantee of a healthy relationship with exercise or food.

Michelle explores how the fitness industry often conflates performance with health, masking disordered habits like overtraining, obsessive goal-chasing, and underfuelling.

Whether you're a coach, client or somewhere in between... you need this episode!

In this week's episode, Chloe is joined by Colls Pryer, a pre and post-natal exercise specialist and an absolute powerhouse!

Colls takes us through her journey from a PT who thought she had all postpartum women figured out by sticking her fingers in their ab gap to literally changing women's lives and teaching them how to lift heavy and get super strong without pelvic floor symptoms holding them back.

Colls looks beyond the pelvic floor and includes biomechanics, breathing techniques and foot position, to name a few things, in her practice.

I learnt so much in our conversation, and I can't wait to see what Colls does at the Pioneer Performance International Women's Day Workshop on 8th March 2025.

Transformation photos flood our feeds, promising inspiration and motivation—but are they doing more harm than good? In this episode, we delve into the hidden impact of "before and after" culture on women's body image and overall health.

Join us as we unpack how these images reinforce toxic beauty standards, perpetuate disordered eating habits, and obscure the complexity of health beyond appearance.

We cover research, our own perspectives and Chloe even does a decent Geordie accent. You don't wanna miss this!
