    Your Questions, Our Honest Answers

    In this episode, we answer some of the most common and controversial questions we get from listeners, ranging from fat loss and metabolism to relationships, jealousy, and what it actually takes to create permanent results. We talk about why there is no perfect meal plan, how autonomy changes your outcomes, and why effort is the one variable you can’t outsource. This conversation moves from practical fitness advice into deeper discussions about guilt, social media, marriage, and modern relationships. It’s part Q&A, part honest reflection, and full of the nuance that gets lost in short-form content. We talk about: -The myth of the “perfect” meal plan -Autonomy and personal responsibility in your effort -Whether metabolism really slows with age -Supplements versus real food -Fat loss in perimenopause and menopause -Training for the body you want -Trusting influencers and online advice -Guilt, jealousy, and emotional patterns -Social media highs and lows -Marriage, love, and long-term commitment -Temporary effort versus permanent results -Navigating identity changes over time Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 1:27 putting in the effort 3:14 supplements versus groceries 6:12 fat loss in perimenopause and menopause 10:19 training how you want to look 14:07 should you trust influencers? 18:45 why women feel guilty 21:50 is inflammation a scapegoat 24:15 what is jealousy? 26:42 social media upas and downs 32:02 platonic opposite sex friendships 35:22 permanent results but temporary effort 39:43 is monogamy natural? 43:11 Do all marriages fall apart? 46:50 venting about your marriage 50:16 why people fall out of love 53:50 funny questions 63:30 spouse pet peeves 67:22 old self versus new self 70:30 porn and marriage  74:20 when is it true love?

    Stop Starting Over and Start Following Through

    In this episode, we break down the real reason consistency feels so hard, and why motivation is rarely the problem people think it is. Most women aren’t lacking discipline. They’re stuck in patterns they don’t recognize and trying to do everything alone. We talk about why the hardest path is often the right one, how rigidity quietly sabotages progress, and why chasing quick dopamine hits keeps you spinning instead of moving forward. This conversation is about learning to see your habits clearly, choosing long-term action over short-term comfort, and accepting that sustainable change always takes time and support. Consistency isn’t a personality trait. It’s a skill you build with the right structure and the right people around you. We talk about: -Why the hardest thing and the right thing are often the same -The hidden danger of being too rigid -Why shortcuts always cost more in the end -Dopamine spikes versus real progress -The reality that change takes time -Why nobody succeeds completely alone -Recognizing and breaking self-sabotaging patterns Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 2:09 Is motivation really the problem? 7:13 staying consistent through all stages of life 13:23 getting help is the fast path 14:30 knowing where to start 19:34 the dark side of free information 27:00 the choice is yours 32:35 following through on commitments CONNECT WITH KAIT: 1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157 Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/ Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list Free FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfP CONNECT WITH MAVERICK: 1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157 Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79 IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

    You Don’t Need More Willpower, You Need a Different Plan

    In this episode, we unpack a powerful truth: you’re not failing, lazy, or broken. You may simply be using a strategy designed for a different woman with a different starting point. The approach needed to lose the first 50 pounds is not the same as the approach needed for the last 10, and misunderstanding that difference keeps many women stuck in cycles of frustration. We talk about the psychology of large weight loss, why knowledge alone isn’t enough, and how chasing perfection pulls you further from real progress. This conversation is about choosing the right plan, the right support, and building an identity that matches the life you want to live. We talk about: -The difference between losing the first 50 pounds and the last 10 -The risk of unqualified coaching -Knowledge versus true understanding -Why it’s not just your hormones -Recognizing your “lightbulb” moment -The trap of chasing perfection -Understanding your window of tolerance Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 2:04 psychological differences with large fat loss 8:06 focusing on identity 12:25 having the knowledge but not the behaviors 18:23 habit changes 25:13 gaining the weight back 39:17 choosing the right coach 44:45 tactics for big weight loss CONNECT WITH KAIT: Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79 1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/ Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list Free FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfP CONNECT WITH MAVERICK: Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79 1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157 IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/ Hosted on Acast.

    Are You Actually in a Plateau, or Just Impatient

    In this episode, we break down what’s really happening when progress seems to stall and how to know whether you’re actually in a plateau or just feeling impatient. We talk through the most common reasons fat loss slows down, the habits that quietly add up, and why simply doing “more” is rarely the answer.

    How Melinda Lost 100 Pounds and Changed Her Life

    In this special episode, we sit down with our incredible client, Melinda, who is down 100 pounds and still going. After trying every diet imaginable and feeling frustrated by short-term results that never lasted, Melinda shares what finally worked and why it had very little to do with a “perfect” plan. Her story is an honest look at what it takes to create real, lasting change, even in the middle of grief, life transitions, and self-doubt.

From continuing to show up when things feel hard to evolving together over time, we share real reflections on partnership, growth, and choosing commitment daily.
