The Kate Hamilton Podcast

Kate Hamilton

Conversations on health, business and becoming. This podcast mirrors my own personal growth. Fitness changed my life. It taught me discipline, helped me believe in myself, and quietly opened the door to the most exciting journey of personal development I never knew I was on. I'm still deeply passionate about health and fitness — that part of me isn't going anywhere. But it's time to bring my love of business, personal development, and the inner work of becoming to the forefront. Because the truth is, they were never separate. The woman who shows up for her training is the same woman who builds the business, leads the family, and learns to come home to herself. Each week, I'll share solo episodes drawn from my qualifications, my coaching experience, and my own lived journey — alongside conversations with guests who've shaped how I think, train, work, and live. This is a space for the woman who's done chasing the next version of herself and ready to start connecting with who she already is. Stop chasing. Start connecting. New episodes weekly. Hosted by Kate Hamilton — former primary school teacher, mother of three, fitness & nutrition coach, health coach, business queen and founder of NourisHer and LeadHer. Subscribe so you don't miss a new episode. And if today's conversation landed, come find me on Instagram @katehamiltonhealth — I'd love to hear what resonated.

    #172 - Building a Business, Manifesting, and Motherhood: Yvonne Tchrakian on Confidence, Authenticity, and Handling Online Negativity

    Part two with Yvonne Tchrakian is all about the business side — building something of your own while raising a family, staying true to yourself online, and tuning out the noise. Yvonne shares where her confidence comes from (her Irish parents' work ethic, a childhood in sport, being told big things were possible), why she's resisted "automate everything" advice in favour of keeping community and accountability at the heart of her 21-day manifestation challenge, and how she handles online negativity while staying authentic rather than playing the comparison game. Her journey — from law firms to a high-level in-house role, to creating gratitude and manifestation products after losing her baby, to going full-time in business after redundancy — is proof that purpose can come from the hardest places. We close on consistency over perfection, spending money early in business, and why sleep matters more than hustle. Catch part one first if you haven't already — this one builds on it.

    #171 - Women in Business: Identity Shifts, Self-Belief & Imposter Syndrome

    Women aren't underrepresented in business because we're not capable — it's what we've been taught about who gets to take up space. In this solo episode, I dig into why so few women start, run, and lead businesses, and why so many of us hold ourselves back before anyone else gets the chance to. I share the stats (Irish and global) on female founders, CEOs, school leadership, and VC funding — and why it's cultural, not a capability problem. I get into the identity shift nobody warns you about: going from employee (fit in, wait to be picked) to entrepreneur (stand out, pick yourself). We cover the loss of security, getting comfortable with uncertainty, who to share your goals with, manifestation, identity-based habits, calm decisions over emotional reactions, delegating at home and in business, connection over productivity, and why imposter syndrome getting louder is proof you're levelling up. I finish with journaling prompts — and if this lights something up in you, it's exactly the work we do inside LeadHer. Have a listen, then go do the thing.

    #170 - Brian Keane on Building a Business That Doesn't Own You and Scaling Without Selling Your Soul

    Brian Keane isn't just my mentor — he's the guy who built an online fitness empire before "online fitness empire" was even a category. Four-time bestselling author, podcaster, business coach, and someone who's actually walked the path most people just talk about. In this episode we go deep on the stuff nobody puts on a highlight reel: how growing up shaped his relationship with money, confidence, and proving himself. How he went from teaching to building a fitness business using nothing but video and Snapchat — before either platform was a "strategy." And how audience-led offers like GAIN Body got built in real time, not from a boardroom. We also get into the part most coaches won't say out loud — money as a tool, not a personality trait. Scarcity mindsets. Lifestyle creep. The difference between ethical selling and pressure tactics. And what it actually costs — relationally, mentally — to scale a business without losing yourself in the process. Brian shares his SCALE framework, his book Scaling Your Story, and a free download you can grab here: https://briankeanefitness.com/get-scaling-your-story-book If you've ever felt the pull between ambition and freedom — this one's for you.

    #169 - Your Body Is Your Most Important Business Asset: Health Habits for Female Entrepreneurs

    You can have the best business strategy in the world, but if your body is running on empty, none of it matters. In this solo episode, I'm talking about something I feel really strongly about — why your health is not separate from your success as a female entrepreneur. It is your success. Building a business is relentless. I describe it as running back-to-back marathons, and the women who do it sustainably are the ones who treat themselves like the athlete the job demands. The stats on female founder burnout, stress and anxiety are hard to ignore — and I think it's time we started scheduling our health with the same non-negotiable energy we bring to our businesses. In this episode I walk you through three areas that make the biggest difference — sleep, nutrition, and movement — and give you practical, realistic habits you can build in around a busy life. No perfectionism, no all-or-nothing. Just what actually works. I'm also sharing a free Female Entrepreneur Health Audit to help you see exactly where you're at right now — and I'd love for you to check out LeadHer, my mentorship programme for women building sustainable, profitable businesses. 00:00 Welcome and Purpose 01:32 Health as Success Foundation 04:20 Your Body Is the Asset 06:07 Female Founder Stress Stats 08:15 Function Connection Performance 09:43 Sleep Non-Negotiable 12:27 Sleep Strategy and Consistency 17:08 Nutrition for Steady Energy 23:08 Supplements and Health Audit 24:37 Movement That Supports Business 26:08 Training for High-Stress Women 34:40 Wrap Up and Next Steps Links & Resources: DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE FEMALE FOUNDER HEALTH AUDIT here Apply for LeadHer business mentorship here Learn more about NourisHer health & fitness coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #168 - Why I Renamed the Show — And My Journey from Teacher to NourisHer and LeadHer

    After 167 episodes, the Kate Hamilton Health Podcast has a new name — and in this solo episode, I'm telling you exactly why. This isn't just a rebrand. My world has expanded into personal development, business, and leadership, and I want this podcast to reflect that. So welcome to The Kate Hamilton Podcast. I also go right back to the beginning — the full story from qualifying as a primary school teacher in 2007, discovering fitness, finding clarity during COVID, completing my Precision Nutrition qualification, and eventually resigning my permanent teaching post to go all in on what is now NourisHer Coaching. I get into what actually moved the needle, and I introduce LeadHer — my business mentorship for women. Anti-hustle, application-only, and built for women who are ready to build something sustainable and profitable. This is a longer one, but I hope it gives you the full picture of where I've been, where I am, and where we're both headed.

    #167 - Why Eating Fat Won't Make You Fat: Healthy Fats, Hormones, and the Truth About Omega-3s

    Fat got demonised by diet culture for decades, and so many of us still carry that fear around — but eating fat won't make you fat. In this episode, I'm clearing up one of the biggest myths going and showing you why fat is an essential part of eating well, not the enemy. I get into why fat actually matters for sustainable fat loss, steady energy, and balanced hormones — and why going too low-fat can leave you tired, hungry, and dealing with hormonal symptoms you might not have connected to your plate. I'll walk you through the different types of fat (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6, saturated, and trans), and the six jobs your body relies on healthy fats to do, from absorbing your fat-soluble vitamins to building your hormones. Then we get practical: the fats worth prioritising (olive oil, avocado, oily fish, nuts, and seeds), how to fix your omega-3 to omega-6 balance, where saturated fat fits in, the trans fats to leave on the shelf, and roughly how much fat to aim for in a day. I've popped in some real meal examples too, so you can see exactly what this looks like on a plate. If you've been quietly afraid of fat, this one's for you. There is no wagon — just real food doing real work in your body. 00:00 Fat Myth Debunked 01:30 Why Fat Is Essential 02:20 What Fats Are Made Of 03:36 Six Jobs of Fat 07:24 Fats Keep You Full 09:23 Healthy Fats List 12:07 Omega Ratio Fix 16:37 Saturated Fat Guidelines 21:20 Trans Fats to Avoid 24:06 50g Fat Day Example 25:17 Key Takeaways Recap 26:48 Wrap Up and Coaching Links & Resources: Apply for LeadHer business mentorship here Learn more about NourisHer coaching here Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #166 - Sleep: The Foundation Habit Nobody Wants to Prioritise (But Should)

    Sleep is the habit most people know is important — but very few actually do anything about it. In this episode, I'm breaking down why your sleep is the foundation of fat loss, mood, willpower, and long-term health, and giving you a simple action plan you can start tonight.

    #165 - The Truth About Carbs: Fuel, Fibre & How to Choose Better

    Carbs have had a seriously bad press — but the science tells a very different story. In this episode, I'm cutting through the noise and giving you the real facts about carbohydrates, why your body needs them, and how to choose the ones that actually work for you. I cover why carbs don't cause fat gain, why rapid weight loss on low-carb diets is mostly water (not fat), and why when calories and protein are matched, there's no meaningful fat-loss advantage to cutting carbs. I also break down the three types of carbs — sugars, starches, and fibre — explain why fruit sugar is nothing like sweets sugar, and get into why fibre is honestly one of the most underrated tools for your health. We're talking gut microbiome, blood sugar, satiety, heart health, and digestion. I'll give you the targets to aim for and how to build up gradually without the bloat. And we finish with simple, practical swaps — what to prioritise, what to limit, and how an 80/20 approach makes this genuinely sustainable. No fear, no restriction. Just the facts.
