In this episode we put the spotlight on Kat — ex-professional dancer turned coach — as she shares her journey from international dance stages to a career in fitness and nutrition. Kat discusses her experiences overseas, how COVID redirected her path, and why she chose to focus on coaching women.

She explores common struggles female clients face — under-eating, disordered relationships with food, and the challenges of perimenopause — and explains her approach to nutrition, resistance training, and long-term health.

In episode 48 of the Indomitable Resistance Podcast the hosts discuss a new laptop mishap, family life, and a heavy leg workout before diving into a broad conversation about global events: recent refinery fires, fuel shortages, 15-minute cities, digital currency, and possible motives behind the unfolding energy crisis.
