In today's episode, we explore the trap of people pleasing, particularly among women, and how it quietly impacts authenticity, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

We share personal experiences and unpack how people pleasing is often rooted in upbringing, confidence, and societal conditioning, while also highlighting the subtle ways it shows up in everyday life, from how we speak about our bodies and fitness to how we respond to social and work demands.

The conversation moves into practical strategies for change, including learning to recognise and name emotions, setting and communicating clear boundaries, protecting time for yourself, and allowing others to support you instead of always defaulting to independence.

We also explore the guilt that can come with prioritising yourself, especially within family and work roles, and how cultural influences reinforce these patterns.

Throughout, we emphasise the importance of self-awareness, supportive environments, and ongoing personal growth as key tools for living more aligned and authentically.

In this episode, we break down the key traits and behaviours we consistently see in our most successful clients after working with hundreds of people.

We explore why coaching is a two-way relationship, how real progress comes from behaviour change rather than just a program, and why the clients who get the best results aren’t the ones who start perfect, but the ones who commit to small, consistent actions over time.

We dive into three core habits that stand out across the board: never skipping check-ins, tracking objective data instead of relying on feelings, and actually acknowledging and celebrating wins.

This episode is a practical look at what truly drives long-term success, and how you can start applying these principles immediately.

We live in a world full of opportunities. New programs. New strategies. New ideas.

We talk about:

• What shiny object syndrome actually is (and how to spot it)

Because the truth is…

You don’t need a better plan.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly starting over, chasing the next best thing, or struggling to stay consistent, this episode will give you a completely different perspective.

Are you actually stuck, or are you just getting in your own way?

So many people feel like they’re not progressing. In their training. Their nutrition. Their life.

But when you zoom out, it’s often not a lack of knowledge.

It’s self-sabotage.

In this episode of the Level Up Podcast, we break down the real reasons people stay stuck and how to start moving forward with clarity.

We talk about:

• Why following your mood instead of a plan keeps you inconsistent

• How progress often feels uncomfortable (and why that’s normal)

• The fear of trying, failing, and being seen putting in effort

• When high standards turn into self-sabotage instead of growth

• Learning to be a beginner again and dropping the pressure

• The difference between making excuses vs taking ownership

• Why taking advice from the wrong people keeps you stuck

• Using training as an anchor during stressful or chaotic periods

Because the truth is…

Progress isn’t about waiting to feel motivated.

It’s about having a plan and showing up anyway.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you keep starting over, this episode will help you reset your approach.

Are you training for your future self… or just chasing a short term goal?

So many women approach training purely for aesthetics. Fat loss. Muscle tone. A number on the scale.

But what if we zoomed out and asked a better question.

What does my body need to stay strong, capable and independent as I age?

In this episode of the Level Up Podcast, we break down the three key pillars of longevity every woman should be training for.

We talk about:

• Why muscle mass is one of the biggest predictors of long term health

Because training isn’t just about how you look right now.

It’s about building a body that can support you for decades to come.

If you care about long term health, performance and staying strong as you age, this episode is a must listen.

🎧 We hope you enjoy this episode and please send it to someone in your life who needs to hear this.

The internet has made health and fitness more accessible than ever… but it’s also made it way more confusing.

In this episode of Level Up With Sharelle and Dani, we break down some of the biggest nutrition myths circulating online right now and why they’re misleading so many people.

We talk about:

• The truth about hormones and fat loss

• Why carbs don’t make you fat (and why your body actually needs them)

• The myth that eating after a certain time causes weight gain

• How overly rigid nutrition rules can create more stress than progress

The reality?

Most people don’t need extreme diets or complicated protocols.

They need to focus on the basics. Consistent training. Balanced nutrition. Sleep. Recovery. And a strategy that actually fits their life.

If you’ve ever felt confused by the constant stream of nutrition advice online, this episode will help you filter through the noise.

🎧 And if this resonates, please share it with someone who might need to hear it.

In today's episode, we discuss three prevalent gym myths that often mislead fitness enthusiasts.
