    Ep 103- No Track, No Rules: You're an Athlete and You Just Don't Know It Yet

    Send us Fan Mail Kat welcomes Paige Thompson, a Philadelphia-based licensed counselor specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image—especially for athletes and women in the perinatal season. They discuss how health is often treated as a narrow, linear “track,” and how diet culture fuels black-and-white thinking, moralizing around food and exercise, and beliefs such as “smaller is healthier,” or that rest equals laziness. Paige reframes food as more than “fuel,” emphasizing flexibility, culture, connection, and values-based definitions of health that include relationships and mental well-being. They explore internal critical dialogue, how to build awareness of where messages come from, and why transitions (such as leaving college sports or experiencing an injury) can increase vulnerability to rigid rules. Paige suggests starting by identifying food rules and “good/bad” lists, eating enough with frequency/volume/variety, tuning in to hunger cues, and seeking HAES/anti-diet professionals.  Connect with Paige at https://www.paigethompsonlpc.com (IG: therapistthoughts_paget) 00:00 Food Body Scale Control 00:22 Show Intro Disclaimer 01:27 Meet Paige Thompson 02:13 Health Is Not Linear 04:47 Fueling With Flexibility 09:56 Clean Eating Exercise Guilt 14:34 Quieting The Inner Critic 17:56 Unlearning Worth And Thinness 20:07 Am I An Athlete 24:50 Post College Identity Shift 31:51 Start This Week Practical Steps 34:52 Where To Find Paige 35:27 Final Wrap And Subscribe ☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?

    Ep 102- 5 Proven Coaching Strategies for Women Over 35 to Break Limits

    Send us Fan Mail Kat shares how, in one day, she coached four very different people, including a new client over 35 who doubted herself in the gym and a 14–15-year-old high jumper facing a new height, through the same hesitation: the internal “I can’t.” She explains that what holds us back often isn’t the weight but self-imposed limitations stories treated as facts (too old, too weak, don’t belong) rooted in past experiences, comparisons, cultural messaging, fear of failure, and a lack of evidence.  Kat offers five questions to identify limiting beliefs and five practical steps to break through them: borrow belief, remove measurements at first, redefine what you’re competing for, gather evidence against the old story, and step intentionally into discomfort.  She invites women of any age to book a no-obligation 15-minute fit call to build confidence and capability. 00:00 Same Doubt Different Lives 00:57 Podcast Welcome and Mission 01:45 Spring Check In and Setup 03:21 Client Story Borrowed Trust 05:59 Track Meet High Jump Breakthrough 08:10 Self-Imposed Limits Explained 09:06 Where Limiting Stories Come From 11:17 Five Questions to Spot Limits 15:37 Five Steps to Break Through 20:15 Permission Slip and Takeaway 21:10 Work With Me Fit Call 22:40 Outro Subscribe and Share ☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here 📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here ❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?
