    Stop Chasing Fast Results

    In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness industry: how fast fat loss should actually happen. Social media has convinced many people that rapid transformations are the standard, but sustainable results are built much differently. We break down the difference between fat loss and weight loss, why crash diets almost always backfire, and what a realistic timeline for body transformation looks like. We also discuss body recomposition, the four phases of long-term success, and why saying no to shortcuts is one of the best decisions you can make for your health. If you've ever felt discouraged because your progress seems "too slow," this episode will help you redefine what success really looks like. We talk about: -focusing on sustainability -reframing “slow progress” -combating misinformation -understanding body recomposition -saying no to short cuts -valuing your self Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 3:14 the dangers of crash diets 8:33 restriction leads to rebellion  10:58 fat loss versus weight loss  15:40 factors affecting weight loss 26:05 what problems do you actually need to solve? 28:49 social media is a lie 35:20 what’s a realistic fat loss timeline? 39:57 why are you gaining weight? 45:02 explaining the 4 phases 48:16 consistency is progress CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

    Overpromised and Underdelivered

    In this episode, we discuss the growing problem of overpromising and underdelivering in the coaching and online business world.

We share a recent experience that sparked this conversation and break down why so many programs fail to deliver lasting results.

    I Know What to Do… So Why Am I Not Doing It

    In this episode, we unpack one of the most common phrases we hear: "I know what to do, I just won't do it." The truth is, lasting transformation isn't about learning another strategy. It's about closing the gap between what you know and how you consistently show up. We explore why knowledge alone rarely changes behavior, how trying to follow too many "rules" can leave you overwhelmed, and why every person's journey requires a different approach.  We also discuss the importance of acting in alignment with the person you want to become, letting go of all-or-nothing thinking, and finding peace in a process that is sustainable for life. Whether you're navigating perimenopause or simply feeling stuck, this episode will help you shift from knowing to doing. We talk about: -the gap between knowing and doing -what transformation actually takes -every situation is different -doing something for yourself -be willing to let go -stop living in the extremes -finding peace and freedom Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 5:20 considering the nuance of “the rules” 9:02 it doesn’t have to be hard 16:09 your to do list is too long 20:01 acting in alignment with who you want to be 25:55 getting results in perimenopause 28:55 why this is important CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

From the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications to the habits that quietly sabotage progress, we explore why so many people struggle to turn knowledge into action. We also talk about the importance of nutritional literacy, the role of shame and accountability, and why lasting change requires honesty paired with compassion. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or found yourself repeatedly breaking promises to yourself, this episode will help you think more critically about your health and the choices that support it. We talk about: -Who can truly benefit from GLP-1 medications Muscle loss and the importance of resistance training Building a long-term plan instead of relying on quick fixes Developing nutritional literacy Why we keep breaking promises to ourselves The difference between shame and accountability Speaking the truth with compassion Moving from knowledge to meaningful action Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 1:30 who can actually benefit from GLP-1s? 9:00 long-term plan after GLP-1 12:41 shame and accountability 18:44 identifying with behaviors through shame 22:19 are you actually in a calorie deficit? 26:45 where you may be falling short 30:59 moving past knowledge and into action 36:25 can you still with yourself?

    The Day Becky Stopped Starting Over

    In this special client interview, we sit down with Becky to hear the story behind her transformation and the mindset shifts that finally helped her break free from years of yo-yo dieting. Like so many women, Becky spent years searching for the "secret" diet while putting everyone else's needs ahead of her own. She shares what made this experience different, how learning to accept support changed everything, and why lasting transformation had far more to do with changing her beliefs than changing her meal plan. If you've ever felt invisible, struggled to see your own progress, or wondered if it's too late to become the person you want to be, Becky's story will remind you that real change is possible. We talk about: -the search for the diet “secret” -never putting yourself first -feeling invisible -fear is holding you back -quitting when you don’t get fast results -learning to love yourself Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 5:01 the history of yo-yo dieting 8:42 realizing this was different  11:26 being fully supported 12:38 the change that made this time stick 16:15 the compassionate side of coaching 18:15 not being able to see your own progress 21:53 a message to other women CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://go.elev8coaching.net/weight-loss-journey Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list Ebook: https://go.elev8coaching.net/consistency-book Hosted on Acast.

    The Mental Traps That Keep You Stuck

    In this episode, we break down some of the most common thinking errors and logical fallacies we see holding people back from reaching their goals. Many people believe their biggest challenge is a lack of information, but more often, the problem is how they think about themselves, their habits, and the process of change. We discuss why the "Monday reset" keeps people stuck, how all-or-nothing thinking sabotages progress, and why knowledge alone doesn't create transformation. If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of starting over, lowering your standards, or questioning whether you're capable of lasting change, this episode will help you identify the mental patterns standing in your way. We talk about: -The trap of the Monday reset -Confusing information with transformation -Current behavior versus permanent identity -The value of tracking macros and collecting data -Lowering your standards instead of raising your actions -Creating a fear-based identity -The dangers of all-or-nothing thinking -Why knowledge doesn't automatically lead to results -Overcoming imposter syndrome and self-limiting beliefs Time Stamps:  0:00 Introduction 4:09 the all-or-nothing mindset 12:15 but is it sustainable? 20:39 knowledge does not equal results 25:45 changing your behaviors 31:14 struggling with identity fallacy 44:09 feeling like an imposter CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://go.elev8coaching.net/weight-loss-journey Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list Ebook: https://go.elev8coaching.net/consistency-book Hosted on Acast.
