On today's episode, we are joined by my wonderful friend, neighbour, and fellow freelancer - Chloe, who is known as The Chatty Freelancer. Chloe has been such a pleasure to work with and also to have in my life outside of business, and I am always so fascinated by her well-balanced approach to life. It was a no-brainer to invite her onto the Podcast and to have as many giggles and freeflow chat as we do normally. We dived deep into the world of design, dumping habits that aren't for you, and no longer tying our self-worth to weight, clothes sizes, or shaming our bodies. I am so excited for you to hear this one! And be sure to follow Chloe on Instagram @TheChattyFreelancerand Spotify - The Chatty Freelancer Podcast. 

We’re back again on the episode with John, CEO of Young and Lazy as well as my incredible partner of 4 years. 

Have you ever felt like your life is stuck on repeat and you are just doing the same things again and again? We dived straight into this world and how John truly changed the norm for his business and his lifestyle, on his pursuit of constant empowerment and greatness.

I loved John on both of our episodes for his energetic and engaging speaking style, as well as the ability to distill complex business & lifestyle concepts into practical tips that anyone can apply to their own journey. We hope you enjoy this one!

In this episode, one of my long-term clients, Amy, shares her empowering and inspirational story.

Through losing a loved one, grief, extreme diet culture, toxic relationships, and feeling completely isolated during the peak of Covid-19, this incredible woman has been through hell and back.

I'm so proud and grateful to have Amy on board this incredible community within The Empowerment PT.

We hope you love this episode just as much as we did when we were recording. 

Our first male guest making a fantastic appearance on the Empowerment PT Podcast - John Hamilton, CEO of Young and Lazy. Inspiring this generation to be BOLD, BRAVE and THEMSELVES

whilst aiming for a high performance mindset. 

John's ability to run this network has truly blown me away, with his incredible presence and willingness to help others.

And this is one of the greatest gifts we can give people: our energy and presence - the feeling that they've been heard, understood and appreciated.

I cannot wait for you to feel this way after listening to his story, and understanding how we work together as a couple running our businesses.

I was extremely grateful to be joined in the studio with my incredible Client, friend and Educational Tutor, Lauren Johnston.

On this episode we cover a huge range of topics on the episode, especially surrounding habits and the power of helping others demand more from themselves as Students and Clients.

Not only that, but we are beginning to have a greater impact on others around us, once they find themselves feeling better in who they actually are!

On this Episode of the Empowerment PT Podcast; we are joined in the studio today by Katie Byers, Body Image Online Coach, and Holli Boyd of Reform Gym Glasgow.

As a Trio - we believe that we specialise individually in different areas of fitness for our clients. However, we all want nothing more than to help those who want to manage unhelpful behaviours and feel phenomenal in themselves.

Our number one goal is to help you flourish - in your body, around food, the way you feel and in your whole life, which is what we discussed on this Episode.

I was absolutely delighted for the girls to chat with me today, and will definitely have them back. From talking about body image, past experience, our client community, and even the heebie jeebies about Ghosts and Spirits alike, we cover it all in these 90 minutes.

There are several Trigger Warnings I want to address on this Podcast, if  these harm you in any sort of way regarding your mental health, please  tune out and come back to the next Episode which will be full of more  laughs and fun.

I will not be offended and your well-being will always come first.

This  is a very personal one for me, something I finally have the courage to  speak about after so many years of hiding my past, but as you can tell  on the Episode, I am still extremely nervous whilst recording.

This was my 2nd attempt.

Please be kind. Here is my story (some).

TW:

Sexual Assault

Drug and Alcohol abuse

Domestic Violence

Divorce

Relationship struggles

Bullying

Family hostility

Eating Disorders/Disordered Eating

Over-exercising

All the love - Bex

Many  thanks to the one and only Paul the Podcaster, John, my clients, and  John's incredibly supportive family, whom I couldn't have shared my  story without.

Today we are chatting away with 2 of my clients, Kirstie and Chloe,  who have been part of the team for some time now. Kirstie joined me  right at the start of Lockdown 2020 and Chloe joined a year later in the  midst of all the UK uncertainty. A poor body image can often make people feel really anxious, self-conscious, and isolated.  Some of the women I coach become so fixated on trying to change their  body shape, they engage in unhealthy practices with food and exercise.  Intense feelings of disappointment, shame and guilt in their  relationship with food can often follow. Chloe and Kirstie were  definitely no different, but are now moving forwards to share their  experiences and solutions with you.

And yeah...we definitely aren't ready to be Mothers. Aunties? Yes.

My name is Bex the Empowerment PT. 

I'm joined on this first ever episode of the 'Empowerment Podcast' by my amazing client, and now friend,  Laura Quinn. 

Laura encountered the difficulties of Cauda Equina Syndrome in early 2020, a painful and degenerative spinal condition that  resulted in 3 major back surgeries to allow her to get back on her feet.  

Well, we hoped it wouldn't have been (shockingly) only 1 hour after her  final surgery that she was told to get up and go, as you will soon  learn about. Laura has grown not only from this experience two and half years on, but also past mental health struggles and troubles, with some incredible life stories about how she moved forward through the worst times in her life. 

It was an absolute pleasure to record this with Laura, and don't worry, we have some laughs along the way and funny stories to share with you all as we reflect through our own fitness journeys.
