On today’s episode Sigi Fisher chats to Caterina Pauluzzi about everything from how to be a good coach, retain clients, continue learning and growing while helping others.

The evolving journey of being a coach – the difference between where you start and where you end up, is something that Cat and Sig both know very well. 

Business hasn’t been easy over lockdowns and uncertainty in Sydney but one thing has kept Cats clients all coming back to her – how much she cares!

“I care a lot about my clients, I got told I care too much by managers in the past, but no matter what business you’re running, you have to care about people,” Cat said.  

“People need that. When you first start out, you might not be the best in the industry, but if you just care about your clients, you will go a long way. 

Listen to this insightful chat about how to help clients with their mindset and celebrating the little things that together all make a big difference.

Strength and health coach Ellie Silvers is one strong woman. 

Listen to Ellie and Sig chat about how she went from two hours of cardio a day and living off of carrots and lettuce, to lifting heavy, eating right and competing in powerlifting competitions

Ellie didn’t always see fitness as a possible career, starting a business degree, going onto law, until half-way through her criminology degree, she started training in the gym and fell in love with it. 

While she admitted she didn’t think she was good enough, Ellie said one person asked her to train them and that was enough to spark her confidence and to just give it a go!

Five years later she is a high-level PT in Sydney.

Listen to her advice on the importance of seeing the red flags and screening clients for eating disorders and how to navigate body image and client expectations.

Listen to how Elin Granstrand healed her disordered eating and is now blossoming in life and business.

Originally from Sweden, Elin said dieting started for her in a very unhealthy way in high school. 

After yoyo dieting for about 10 years, restricting all week and binging on weekends, Elin competed in a bodybuilding competition, thinking that was healthier than what she was doing, but she admits it made everything worse. 

She then tried crossfit, was training twice a day, still restricting all week and binging on weekends, and after six months of crossfit she wasn’t seeing results so she found a nutrition coach. 

Elin replaced restriction with an obsession with calorie counting, even bringing her food scales home to Sweden for Christmas and stressing about holiday food. 

After being home, she realized their was so much more to life than counting calories and being lean. 

Started studying nutrition and found the world of flexible dieting. 

Elin says the method changed her life and healed her relationship with food and her body, and she now helps others do the same with her business Lotus Health Co.

You’ve probably heard of cupping and acupuncture, but what about vagina steaming??

Acupuncturist Dr Abbie shares how Chinese medicine is helping women with their hormonal, mental and physical health. 

Chinese medicine is a 4000+ year old practice based on lifestyle and environmental influences and looks at the relationships between our internal systems to find and treat imbalances.  

Ok so back to the 'vagine steam'… Dr Abbie says steaming the vagina with Chinese herbs helps women with PMS, endometriosis or both birth pain and encourages good natural internal bacteria to prevent thrush and urinary tract infections.

Anthea Woodruff, women’s PT and online coach, tells us about the journey from chronic undereating and bodybuilding, to getting strong, powerlifting and changing her mindset around fitness and food.

Her business @thrivestronger now helps women thrive in all aspects through training, nutrition and mindset.

Anthea joined the gym in high school. At just 16 years of age, she got hooked and was vigorously training 6-7 times a week and eating only 1300-1400 calories a day - she was convinced that she was being healthy. 

“I didn’t know at the time, I honestly thought that was the right thing, that was what heath was” she said.

She went on to train for a bodybuilding comp at age 17 and after chronically undereating, she lost her period for around 2 years.

Anthea chats to our podcast host Siggy Fisher about her switch from chronic dieting to strength and how she regained her health and menstrual cycle again. 

“It wasn’t overnight, it was a hard process of trying to unlearn the desire to be lean and let go of the image” Anthea said.
