    Episode 123: Building (Off Season) is Harder than Dieting (Prep)

    As a follow up on last weeks episode, I wanted to dive a little deeper on my point that growing/building phases are actually much harder than dieting phases (when done well). It's important to know WHY, so that you can actually embrace and maximise these phases (and your progress) to your full potential.

    Episode 122: Have You ‘Earned the Right’ to Diet?

    On this week’s episode I wanted to discuss the idea of ‘earning the right’ to diet. Essentially, being in a position where you can actually warrant going into a fat loss phase, doing it well & getting the results you want (without an unwanted negative experience or side effects).  As it can sometimes be hard to know if dieting is or isn’t the right call for you… where it be a case of simply deciding whether to pursue a growing or fat loss phase, or off the back of a recent prep. Today I cover WHY it’s important we do an assessment before going into a diet phase & some of the points you should consider.

    Episode 118: We ALL Start Somewhere...

    It can be so easy to get so caught up in a world of comparison where you feel like your goals are insurmountable. You feel so far away from the things you want to achieve & might even find yourself believing that you’ll never get there.But it’s why it’s so important to remember that every single person has to start somewhere & go on their own journey. Those starting points in and of themselves are also immensely special in their own way too.
