  • I cut off contact with my Mum, and it made my life so much better.

    Deciding to cut contact from my Mum wasn’t an easy decision and definitely not one I’d taken lightly.

    For me, as for most people, it took an exchange so toxic, so far outside the boundaries of what’s acceptable, that something snapped inside me. I was done with her.

    This isn’t a decision I woke up and decided to do one day.

    It’s taken 15 years and is long overdue.
    I have found that trying to ‘make’ anyone think, believe, understand, or do anything is absolutely pointless.

    You aren’t obligated to worry about the opinion of anyone, because it’s none of their business. You don’t have to get anyone else’s approval to set the boundaries you need to be healthy.

    I hope this episode helps you to understand what is right for you.

  • Empowered Women: Part 3 - Inside the Inspiring Interview with Coach Becks Moore

    Today I'm joined by the wonderful Becky Moore, otherwise known as Becks from Beyond your Best Coaching.

    From humble Ayrshire beginnings to commanding boardrooms in College settings, Becky's narrative is a testament to true resilience and determination.

    We explore pivotal moments that shaped her career and her perspectives, especially with navigating challenges in a male-dominated industry. Leading to Becks truly breaking down her mental and physical limitations that she placed on herself.

    From building a winning mindset for HYROX, to fostering her self-belief, Becky's words resonate far beyond the realm of Coaching, inspiring women to reach for their highest potential in every facet of life.

    Literally "beyond their best".

  • 10 Ways to Be The Best Version of Yourself
    I became obsessed.
    In the good way, compared to what people might tell you.
    Obsessed with the fact you can change in so many ways as a person.
    In the past:
    - I was insecure from a young age.
    - Lacked confidence in every way.
    - Picked every part of myself apart.
    Then one day I snapped out of it.
    I realised I was the only person who could make the changes. And using these tools that I’ve spoken about on today’s episode, I hope you can make these changes in your life too.

  • Bex's Thoughts - Ep2

    Life is too short to do anything that's not challenging.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    Life is also too short to do anything that doesn't make you feel happy or fulfilled.

    Take action from today's episode and don't worry about the little things.

  • Bex's Thoughts - Ep1

    Life happens outside the comfort zone.


    Failure means you're doing things, so the more you take risks and make hard decisions, the closer you are to success.


    I learned a lot that vulnerability is true strength, in baring my soul, I found my tribe. In losing my way, I discovered my true path. 

    In the tapestry of my failures, I wove my resilience.


    If you’re continuing to grow your entire life (as we are all meant to), you will probably be very different year to year, and even decade to decade.


    So choose yourself each time, and do things that scare you.

  • Client Hotseat: Ashleigh

    On this Episode we welcome one of my long-term clients, Ashleigh, who shares her raw and vulnerable experience of her fitness journey as well as struggling with Postpartum Depression after becoming a Mum to her son.

    The trick is to allow yourself to feel the emotions without giving them deeper meaning. 

    Which Ash has explained so well throughout this Episode.

    Her honesty left me speechless after we spoke and I can't wait for you all to hear her beautiful story.

  • Client Hotseat: Jordyn - Bouncing Back

    I'm joined by my client, Jordyn, on this Episode of our Client Hotseats. 

    Jordyn is the most adherent and on-the-ball client that I have had the utmost pleasure of working with for a few months now as she lost 10kg in body weight. But the difference in her mental progress is absolutely amazing too. 

    It was such a lovely relaxed chat with Jordyn about how she started with us at The Empowerment PT, and I am so proud of her progress.

    This Episode marks the 1st Anniversary of the Empowerment PT Podcast which I am delighted about!

    Thank you to all of our listeners and incredible guests we've had so far and will continue to bring on. Keep being powerful.
