The 4Cs Podcast

In this episode, I go back to the beginning.Not to weight loss. Not to discipline. But to identity.I talk about being labelled, being laughed at, feeling slightly out of place, and how those small moments followed me into adulthood without me realising it. I share how people-pleasing, comparison, and the need to prove myself quietly shaped my relationship with food, control, and my body.This isn’t about blaming the past. It’s about understanding how early narratives influence the way we show up today.Because once I realised I wasn’t inconsistent, I was coping, then everything changed.If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much, not enough, or constantly trying to earn your worth, this episode will likely hit home.

In this episode, I talk about the point most people avoid once they become aware of their patterns. The moment where understanding stops feeling empowering and starts feeling uncomfortable, because it asks something of you.I explore why so many women stay stuck even when they know exactly what’s going on, why insight can quietly become a form of avoidance, and how waiting for the “right time” keeps life exactly as it is. This episode isn’t about motivation or doing more. It’s about responsibility, choice, and the reality that nothing in your life will change unless something in your behaviour does.I share how this showed up in my own life, why small changes matter more than dramatic overhauls, and how self-trust is built through action, not intention. This is the episode where awareness turns into a decision.

Around 80 % of people quit their New Year goals by February, and I see this happen every single year, not because people don’t care or aren’t capable, but because January is built on unrealistic expectations, borrowed motivation, and a version of ourselves that hasn’t been supported yet.In this bonus episode, I talk through why January motivation fades so quickly, why so many people fall off once real life kicks in, and how setting goals based on perfection instead of reality leads to burnout and self-doubt. I explain why identity collapse is such a common experience in January, how missed days turn into quitting, and why most people judge themselves instead of reviewing what’s actually happening.I also share how I believe January should really be approached, by setting realistic baselines, focusing on repeatable behaviours, building systems that survive stress and setbacks, and auditing the month instead of abandoning it. This episode is about stepping out of the 80 % and building consistency in a way that actually lasts beyond February.

In this episode, I unpack something that most women never question: the idea that consistency automatically means you’re doing something right.I talk about how self-abandonment doesn’t always look like chaos or giving up. Often, it hides inside discipline, routines, and “trying your best.” I explore why so many capable, high-functioning women stay stuck even though they are consistent, motivated, and doing all the things they’re told should work.I share how this showed up in my own life, particularly during a year where I was incredibly consistent with training and performance, but deeply disconnected from my needs, my relationship with food, and my sense of self-worth. This episode is about recognising the difference between functioning and thriving, and understanding why effort alone isn’t enough if it isn’t aligned.This isn’t about blame or motivation. It’s about awareness, responsibility, and the quiet ways we leave ourselves behind and what it actually takes to stop.

In this episode, I share the story behind how I became a coach, not through certifications or career choices, but through a lifetime of movement, sport, comparison, and learning how to survive by staying disciplined.From being the child who couldn’t sit still, to finding belonging in sport, to years of coaching in camps, gyms, schools, and later through teaching, this episode explores how coaching was never something I chose, it was something that formed in me over time.I also speak honestly about the other side of that story: how discipline and consistency can mask self-abandonment, how achievement can coexist with disconnection, and how I spent years showing up physically while losing touch with my self-worth, particularly around food and care for my body.This episode sets the foundation for everything that follows in 2026. It’s not a highlight reel, and it’s not about perfection. It’s about understanding where our patterns come from, why consistency alone isn’t enough, and how real change begins when we stop leaving ourselves out of the equation.

This episode is the final part of The Becoming Series, and it’s where everything comes together. After exploring identity, self-trust, why we give up on ourselves, and what 2025 actually taught me, this episode is about how I’m carrying those lessons forward into 2026.I share how my approach to goal setting has completely changed. Instead of setting goals from urgency, comparison, or pressure, I now build them from identity, self-trust, and systems that can survive real life. I talk about why most goals fail at the design stage, how urgency creates burnout, and why continuation matters more than intensity.This isn’t about setting impressive goals or starting over in January. It’s about designing goals that respect your energy, your nervous system, and the life you actually live. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by goal setting or trapped in all-or-nothing cycles, this episode will help you approach the year ahead with clarity, steadiness, and confidence.

This episode is a full, honest reflection on what 2025 actually asked of me, not just physically or professionally, but emotionally and mentally. From running long distances while building a business, to showing up consistently online, to navigating body image, boundaries, doubt, and growth, this year changed how I define success.In this episode, I talk about the cost of consistency, the identity shifts that happen behind the scenes, and what it really takes to stop restarting and start staying. I share what surprised me most about achieving big goals, the moments that tested my self-trust, and the lessons that reshaped how I approach health, business, and life.This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s an honest look at what happens when you choose alignment over intensity and integrity over pressure and why those lessons matter far more than outcomes.

In this episode, I talk about the part of change that most women quietly struggle with but rarely name: the moment they give up on themselves. Not dramatically, not intentionally, but subtly, when progress starts to feel uncomfortable and old patterns creep back in.Building on the conversations around identity and self-trust from Episodes 1 and 2, I explore why giving up is rarely about laziness or lack of willpower. More often, it’s a protective response rooted in fear, nervous system overload, and identities that no longer fit but still feel familiar. I unpack all-or-nothing thinking, the difference between pausing and quitting, and why so many women fall away just as real change becomes possible.This episode is about learning how to stay connected, stay regulated, and stay compassionate, even when things wobble. Because breaking the cycle of giving up doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from understanding what’s actually happening beneath the behaviour and choosing a different response.

In the last episode, I spoke about identity, the quiet force behind every goal you set. In this episode, I take that conversation a step further and talk about what actually turns identity into something real: self-trust. Because becoming someone who shows up for herself doesn’t come from motivation or perfect routines. It comes from the promises you keep when life is busy, demanding, and unpredictable.In this episode, I explore why so many women struggle to trust themselves, especially in seasons like December. I talk about how unrealistic expectations quietly break self-trust, why “I’ll start again in January” often keeps us stuck, and the important difference between pausing and quitting. I also share why consistency isn’t about doing everything perfectly, but about staying connected to yourself when life gets full.This episode is especially for teachers and women who are used to putting everyone else first. If you’ve ever felt like you fall off the moment life gets hard, this conversation will help you understand why and how to keep moving forward without burning yourself out.
