My own personal growth comes in no small part from talking to my clients as humans. In no particular order, here are 6 client conversations that impacted my coaching philosophy

How my client Jean lost 50 pounds by breaking away from rigid food rules and yo-yo dieting

Mindfulness, living in alignment, over-coming injury, body-image and getting strong 

How you change your relationship with food forever

Perspective-- a particular attitude towards, or set of beliefs regarding something

Suicide, being a young mum, an incredible fat-loss journey and starting her own coaching service

We all hear terms like "metabolism", "clean eating" and "processed food", but do we actually understand these terms?  If not, how can we make decisions with them at the forefront of our mind?

In this episode I highlight real examples of the disconnect between a healthy lifestyle versus an all-consuming "fitness" lifestyle

In this episode myself and Steve (good friend and old client) chat about the difference between holding on to other peoples words in a beneficial way versus letting them slide off like water off a ducks back

We often see the "after", but what about that messy phase in the middle where all the character is made? Grainne reflects on her progress to date-- half way to the goal she set herself earlier this year

A "Before and After" picture is amazing, yet tells but a fraction of the story. Here is Lisa's account of losing 60 pounds with a simple, sustainable approach

Let me share an idea from a book with you about the spectrum of learning, in this case about dieting, in a way perhaps you've never heard before

We assume more calories leads to more body-fat, but what about when it doesn't? I just want you to use this example to form your own opinion. Nuance matters. Context matters. There are no real answers, just better guidelines, for you, right now. 

Principles are universal truths. Methods are the particular form of procedure we use to arrive at a principle This really matters in the realm of "dieting"

Today Brian joins me to discuss the release of his new book Rewire Your Mindset

My client Gill shares her story about improving outlook on food. She shares how she didn't want her twenties to be wasted in negative diet cycles, and the difficulties she has faced along the way. Thought-provoking piece from an intelligent lady 

I'm 30 tomorrow Here are some pearls of wisdom that smart people have taught me

In this episode I reply to a DM from a follower who messages looking for advice on what to do when large packets of sweets are open regularly and willpower seems weak. I believe this is a skill and mindset more than a "willpower" issue. 

Some of the worst mistakes I see from this one trainers point of view   1. Focusing on the little details and neglecting those that matter   2. Black vs white/ good vs bad thinking   3. Too many changes at once   4. Mismanagement of the scale
