Ep 78. The Change We Want to See: Legacy, Values & the Future of Fitness for Women

In this episode of the MumSafe™ Pro Podcast, Jen Dugard brings together the voices of past guests to explore a powerful question that was asked at the end of many conversations throughout 2025: What do you want to change in the fitness industry and beyond?

As you listen, you’re invited to reflect on your own values. Why you do what you do. What you stand for. And the mark you want to leave through your work whether inside the fitness industry or beyond it. This episode is a reminder that meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation.

Ep 75: Reflecting Before You Reset: A Guided 2025 Review for Trainers

In this final episode of 2025, Jen Dugard invites you to pause before rushing into goals, plans, and resolutions. Rather than jumping straight into goal setting, this episode is a guided reflection session designed to help you take stock of the year that’s been, what worked, what didn’t, what felt aligned, and what you’re ready to leave behind as you move into 2026. This reflection process is one Jen uses every year inside MumSafe™, and it’s designed to support trainers who want to build a business that genuinely aligns with their values, energy, family life, and long-term vision... not just one that looks good on paper. You’ll be guided through questions that help you reflect on your values, achievements, challenges, energy, income, alignment, support systems, and the ripple effect of your work. There’s no pressure to have answers or to lock anything in, this episode is about creating space, clarity, and awareness before you move forward. If you’ve felt tired, proud, stretched, grateful, frustrated, excited, or all of the above this year, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore: Why reflection is more powerful than rushing straight into goal setting How to identify your whole-life values and notice when you’re out of alignment Recognising trigger feelings versus alignment feelings Reflecting on achievements beyond business growth The habits, skills, and support that shaped your year Understanding seasons of life and business Where burnout, overwhelm, or resistance showed up and what they’re trying to tell you Clarifying your mission, ideal client, and ripple effect Reviewing your offers, income, energy, and alignment Introducing concepts like your superpower and your “one thing” Creating space for your 2026 vision to form without forcing it Key Takeaway You don’t need to rush into fixing, planning, or setting goals. Taking time to reflect creates clarity, alignment, and direction and gives your next chapter room to take shape naturally.

Ep 74: Finding Your Voice, Owning Your Message, and Building Influencewith Chantal Broderick

In this episode of The MumSafe™ Pro Podcast, Jen Dugard is joined by industry leader, speaker, emcee, podcast host, and presentation coach Chantal Brodrick for a wide-ranging and deeply insightful conversation about confidence, communication, and long-term career sustainability in the fitness industry. Chantal shares her journey from a 15-year career in media into fitness, business coaching, podcasting, and eventually stepping onto stages as a presenter and emcee at major industry events. Together, Jen and Chantal unpack what it really takes to build influence over time, why content creation compounds, and how trainers can begin to see speaking and presenting as an extension of service rather than self-promotion. This episode is especially powerful for trainers who feel the pull to do more than just sessions on the gym floor, whether that’s running workshops, educating communities, speaking on stages, or becoming a recognised voice in their niche. In This Episode, We Cover Chantal’s transition from media into fitness and why business education became her sweet spot How podcasting helped shape her authority, confidence, and opportunities to speak on stage Why building content consistently matters more than making it perfect The role of speaking, presenting, and workshops in becoming the go-to trainer in your community How trainers can start sharing their message without waiting for a big conference stage The importance of evidence, experience, and alignment when applying to speak at events Chantal’s experience on the board of AusActive and why industry advocacy matters Three practical tips to speak with confidence, even when nerves show up Why preparation, practice, and practising with distraction can change everything How trainers can think about speaking as service, not ego The power of knowing your “superpower” and weaving it into your fitness career Key Takeaway Confidence doesn’t come from waiting until you feel ready. It comes from preparation, repetition, and choosing to share your message… imperfectly, in service of others. Whether it’s a workshop, a podcast, or a stage, your voice has value when it’s grounded in experience and aligned with who you serve.

Ep. 73: 25 Things That Pissed Me Off in 2025

In this end-of-year solo episode, Jen Dugard wraps up 2025 with a candid, honest, and at times uncomfortable conversation, sharing 25 things that have genuinely pissed her off over the past year. Some of these frustrations are light-hearted and very human. Others cut much deeper, shining a spotlight on ongoing issues within the fitness industry, women’s health, and how mums continue to be overlooked, misunderstood, or underserved. Through humour, reflection, and straight-talking insight, Jen explores where the industry is missing the mark, why nuance and best practice still matter, and what needs to change if we genuinely want to support women and mums better not just in theory, but in practice. This episode is part rant, part reality check, and part invitation to do better. It’s a reminder that frustration often points us toward what we care about most and where action is still needed. Episode Highlights Why mums are still treated as a “small niche” despite making up a significant portion of the fitness industry The ongoing lack of pre and postnatal education and accountability in mainstream fitness qualifications The dangers of black-and-white research messaging without clinical context Misconceptions around abdominal separation, core training, and best practice postpartum care Why caring deeply about mums and running a profitable business are not opposing goals The frustration of women’s health conversations skipping pregnancy and postpartum entirely Why trainer professionalism, ongoing education, and registration truly matter What happens when people say “it’s not working” without doing the work Real-life annoyances that remind us we’re all human, tired, and doing our best Key Takeaway Progress in women’s health and the fitness industry doesn’t come from ignoring nuance or chasing trends. It comes from education, accountability, lived experience, and a willingness to challenge outdated systems even when it’s uncomfortable. What’s Mentioned in This Episode Jen also shares information about the final MumSafe™ Information Session for 2025, happening on 19 December, for trainers who want to learn more about Safe Return to Exercise and the MumSafe™ pathway for 2026.

Ep. 72: When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

In this solo episode, Jen Dugard opens up about those days, the ones where you don’t feel motivated, productive, or inspired. The days when showing up for your clients or your business feels heavy, even though you care deeply about what you do. If you’re a trainer working with mums (or want to be the go-to trainer in your community), this episode is for you. Jen explores why “I don’t feel like doing anything” days are completely normal, the three main ways they tend to show up for trainers, and how to move through them with kindness and clarity. Drawing from her own experience, from building Body Beyond Baby to creating Safe Return to Exercise and MumSafe™, Jen shares what nearly two decades in the industry have taught her about motivation, mindset, and building a sustainable business that supports your life, not drains it. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “off days” don’t mean you’re failing and why they’re actually part of sustainable growth The three types of days trainers commonly experience: overwhelmed, disheartened, and lost How to recognise which one you’re in and what to do next Practical ways to regulate, reset, and refocus without burning out The “power of three” method to simplify your to-do list and move forward gently How to use structure, support, and community to stay consistent — even when motivation fades Key Takeaway Your business isn’t built on motivation. It’s built on clear foundations, small consistent actions, and community support that carries you on the hard days. Episode Highlights The “47 tabs open” overwhelmed day, when you’re busy but not productive The disheartened day, when you’re doing the work but it feels like nothing’s moving The lost day, when you have time but no clear direction How to name what kind of day you’re having and release the guilt The Power of Three: the simplest tool to bring focus back to your day Why community and connection matter most when you feel like pulling away How MumSafe™ provides the structure and support to keep going through it all Connect with Jen Dugard & MumSafe™ Instagram: @jendugard | @mumsafemovement Website: www.jendugard.com/mumsafetrainer

Ep 71. Exercising Through Breast Cancer, Pelvic Health & Preventative Women’s Health with Exercise Physiologist Anna-Louise Moule

In this insightful episode of the MumSafe™ Podcast, Jen Dugard sits down with Exercise Physiologist and clinic founder Anna-Louise Moule, whose career has been dedicated to women’s health and cancer care for over a decade. Anna-Louise shares her clinical expertise across breast cancer treatment, persistent pelvic pain, hypermobility, and postpartum recovery, while also offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how she built and leads a thriving multidisciplinary clinic. This conversation spans everything from strength training during cancer treatment to the hormonal overlap between postpartum and perimenopause, and the critical role of preventative care across a woman’s lifespan. Perfect for exercise professionals, EPs, physios, and anyone passionate about creating safer, more informed support for women. Highlights: How exercise guidelines for breast cancer have evolved, from “rest” to targeted, higher-intensity strength training How to safely support clients through fatigue, chemo side effects, and immunocompromise Understanding low-estrogen states (breastfeeding, treatment-induced menopause, perimenopause) and their impact on pelvic floor capacity Why postpartum and perimenopause programming share more overlap than we think The importance of training to the “weakest link” across complex health presentations How early postpartum care changes long-term women’s health outcomes What trainers should ask when screening women with persistent pelvic pain How oncology EPs, pelvic health physios, and trainers can collaborate for better client outcomes Anna-Louise’s transition from solo EP to multidisciplinary clinic owner The real challenges of leadership: boundaries, finances, hiring and navigating maternity leave Why preventative care, not reactive treatment, is the future of women’s health The value of MumSafe™ education for EPs and why collaboration beats turf wars Key Takeaway: Women’s health is interconnected. Whether a woman is navigating cancer treatment, postpartum recovery or perimenopause, movement is medicine and when professionals collaborate across disciplines, we give women the preventative care, strength and confidence they deserve. About Anna-Louise Moule: Anna has been an Exercise Physiologist since 2011 and founded Balanced Bodies Lifestyle Clinic in 2013. She has always had a strong interest in women’s health and cancer care, shaped by her active upbringing and a love of movement. She holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science from Sydney University and a Masters in Exercise Physiology. Today, Anna leads a multidisciplinary team of EPs, physios, dietitians and massage therapists, while also mentoring early-career EPs and female clinic owners, teaching casually at universities, and working clinically in her specialty areas, all while raising her two young girls.
