If your post-holiday blues are compounded by tight jeans and a bombardment of fat-loss program ads, this episode is for you.

While the transformation coaches are out in full force, I’m here to talk about why you don’t need to panic start a diet just because Christmas was a little too beige.

We’ll unpack the traps of quick-fix dieting, why a leaner body isn’t the key to confidence, and why dieting every time you gain weight keeps you stuck.

Ready for food freedom?

I am currently accepting 3 more 1:1 coaching clients for 2025. If you're ready to build body image, a positive relationship with food and start living, this is your sign.

One essential part of Chloe's consultancy service is Q&As with her coaches' clients.

On these live calls, coaches' clients submit their taboo, TMI and embarrassing questions.

In this episode, Chloe dives into her question box and shares some of the previous clients' questions.

Remember, if you're a coach and think your clients would benefit from a women's health Q&A, you can book this as a stand-alone product with Chloe.

Or, if you are just interested in women's health and have burning questions, keep a close eye on Chloe's stories, as Chloe posts anonymous question boxes occasionally.

Check-ins are the cornerstone of our coaching process, and how we monitor client progress and challenges.

And yet, we are often left with more questions than answers when our clients check-in.

From ghosting to one word answers, a poorly designed check-in process can lead to coach and client frustration.

Today, Michelle sat down with coach and mentor Gillian Bennett and we chatted all things check-in.

What are the common check-in mistakes?

How can I level up my check-ins?

What do I do when my clients aren't giving me what I need?
