The Stage Strong Podcast

You might have finished work, but has your brain? In this episode, we’re checking in on where work might still be creeping into your downtime - physically, mentally, socially, digitally and emotionally - and looking at one small change you can make to help you truly switch off.

In this weeks drop-in, we explore ways in which we can stay grounded and productive between contracts by building simple non-negotiables, planning a realistic week, leaning on accountability, and leaving space for rest and real life.

What happens when work doesn’t just take up your time, but starts to take over your whole world? Whether you’re on tour, on a cruise ship or simply struggling to switch off, we’re exploring blurred boundaries, stress, comparison and how to create space for yourself when you can’t always escape the work environment.

In this weekly drop-in, we discuss why community, support, and accountability are often more important than motivation alone for building lasting health and fitness habits. We share real-life examples of how partners, family, and coaches can help create consistency, celebrate wins, and make progress feel more sustainable through the messy parts of life.

It’s time to turn reflection into action. In this episode, we're taking everything we've learned about your stage of growth and bring it into the next seven days - focusing on what’s working, what you can simplify, what you’ve been avoiding, and the one realistic action that will help you keep moving forward.

In this session Frankie explores comfort eating as a coping strategy, the role of self-sabotage, and how to build self-compassion instead of judgment. We also discussed comparison in the performance/fitness world, reframing it as inspiration rather than a measure of worth, and unpacking how to reconnect with your “why” in a way that’s clear, personal, and sustainable.

Once you know what stage of growth you’re in, what do you actually do with that information? In this episode, I'm exploring what each stage needs from you. From curiosity and compassion, to simplicity, flexibility and recognition...so you can stop judging where you are and start working with it.

Enjoy!

In this week’s drop-in we spoke into comparison and how to stay focused on what you can control. We looked at practical ways to reset after illness or burnout, ease back into training and nutrition, and build consistency without needing perfection. We also explored how to stay on track during busier, more chaotic periods with simple planning and flexible routines.

This is part 2 of our September series...'The Stages of Growth', and today we're looking into identifying what stage you are in. So if you haven't checked out part 1 then I'd go ahead and do that, then come back to discover how we can explore and identify exactly where you are in the stages of growth cycle. 

Enjoy! 

This week I wanted to share a bit of a personal note - that to most peoples surprise I don't look forward to every gym session or get excited to go! Today we took a moment to remind ourselves that progress comes from consistency, not perfection. We cover training motivation, finding your deeper “why,” navigating busy ship life and social events, and managing nutrition and recovery without overdoing it.
