The Willetts Podcast

In this episode, we answer some of the most common and controversial questions we get from listeners, ranging from fat loss and metabolism to relationships, jealousy, and what it actually takes to create permanent results. We talk about why there is no perfect meal plan, how autonomy changes your outcomes, and why effort is the one variable you can’t outsource. This conversation moves from practical fitness advice into deeper discussions about guilt, social media, marriage, and modern relationships. It’s part Q&A, part honest reflection, and full of the nuance that gets lost in short-form content.We talk about:-The myth of the “perfect” meal plan-Autonomy and personal responsibility in your effort-Whether metabolism really slows with age-Supplements versus real food-Fat loss in perimenopause and menopause-Training for the body you want-Trusting influencers and online advice-Guilt, jealousy, and emotional patterns-Social media highs and lows-Marriage, love, and long-term commitment-Temporary effort versus permanent results-Navigating identity changes over timeTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction1:27 putting in the effort3:14 supplements versus groceries6:12 fat loss in perimenopause and menopause10:19 training how you want to look14:07 should you trust influencers?18:45 why women feel guilty21:50 is inflammation a scapegoat24:15 what is jealousy?26:42 social media upas and downs32:02 platonic opposite sex friendships35:22 permanent results but temporary effort39:43 is monogamy natural?43:11 Do all marriages fall apart?46:50 venting about your marriage50:16 why people fall out of love53:50 funny questions63:30 spouse pet peeves67:22 old self versus new self70:30 porn and marriage 74:20 when is it true love?CONNECT WITH KAIT:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

In this episode, we break down the real reason consistency feels so hard, and why motivation is rarely the problem people think it is. Most women aren’t lacking discipline. They’re stuck in patterns they don’t recognize and trying to do everything alone. We talk about why the hardest path is often the right one, how rigidity quietly sabotages progress, and why chasing quick dopamine hits keeps you spinning instead of moving forward. This conversation is about learning to see your habits clearly, choosing long-term action over short-term comfort, and accepting that sustainable change always takes time and support. Consistency isn’t a personality trait. It’s a skill you build with the right structure and the right people around you.We talk about:-Why the hardest thing and the right thing are often the same-The hidden danger of being too rigid-Why shortcuts always cost more in the end-Dopamine spikes versus real progress-The reality that change takes time-Why nobody succeeds completely alone-Recognizing and breaking self-sabotaging patternsTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:09 Is motivation really the problem?7:13 staying consistent through all stages of life13:23 getting help is the fast path14:30 knowing where to start19:34 the dark side of free information27:00 the choice is yours32:35 following through on commitmentsCONNECT WITH KAIT:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

In this special episode, we talk to our client Theresa who has lost over 100 pounds in the last two years and is pivoting in a build phase. She has the skills and self-trust to maintain her weight loss for life. We talk about:-focusing only on the scale-feeling like a failure-learning instead of being told what to do-a personalized approach-seeking internal validation-it’s more than weight lossTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:27 lifelong weight struggles4:26 hesitation to try again7:05 what’s different about the program10:03 mindset changes14:43 focusing on sustainability 18:04 deciding to keep goingCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

In this episode, we break down what’s really happening when progress seems to stall and how to know whether you’re actually in a plateau or just feeling impatient. We talk through the most common reasons fat loss slows down, the habits that quietly add up, and why simply doing “more” is rarely the answer. This conversation focuses on sustainable strategies, realistic expectations, and the mindset shifts required to move forward without burning yourself out.We talk about:-How to tell if you’re truly in a plateau-The difference between perceived stalls and real metabolic adaptation-Why protein intake matters more than most people think-“Bites, licks, and tastes” that derail progress-The role hormones play in fat loss-Why strength training is non-negotiable-Choosing direction over speed-Why lasting results require an identity shiftTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction1:23 how to know if you’re in a plateau6:26 metrics you should track11:16 metabolic adaptation17:06 when you’re ACTUALLY in a plateau 26:40 realistic expectation for fat loss32:00 your dream body weighs more than you think it does38:45 dropping the mental burdenCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

In this special episode, we sit down with our incredible client, Melinda, who is down 100 pounds and still going. After trying every diet imaginable and feeling frustrated by short-term results that never lasted, Melinda shares what finally worked and why it had very little to do with a “perfect” plan. Her story is an honest look at what it takes to create real, lasting change, even in the middle of grief, life transitions, and self-doubt.We talk about:-dealing with grief and major life changesfeeling like a failure and rebuilding self-trustdeciding to make it work instead of starting overwhy it’s not actually about the dietlearning how to be happy in the processsetting an example for your childrentaking action now instead of waiting for the right timeTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction1:43 reaching rock bottom4:20 putting herself first5:34 having the support she needs7:04 overcoming misconceptions9:16 becoming a new person11:15 sustainability for lifeCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

In this episode, we have an honest conversation about the benefits of marriage and what it actually looks like to build something meaningful with another person. From continuing to show up when things feel hard to evolving together over time, we share real reflections on partnership, growth, and choosing commitment daily. We also discuss what happens when marriage and business overlap, how reliance can be a strength, and why becoming the person you would want to marry matters more than finding the “perfect” partner.We talk about:-How marriage can enhance your life when you stay intentional-The importance of continuing to show up, even when it’s uncomfortable-Why how you do anything is how you do everything-Evolving as individuals while growing together-Building and running a business with your spouse-Depending on your partner without losing yourself-Being open and receptive to opportunities in marriage-Becoming the person you would want to marryTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction7:15 benefits of marriage13:17 how you know “she’s the one”25:40 positive experiences in marriage28:18 having a business with your spouse35:59 learning about yourself42:53 finding good examples50:28 wisdom for your cynical selfCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

In this episode, we dive into the real cost of indecision and how overthinking quietly keeps people stuck. We unpack analysis paralysis, how living on screens impacts motivation and follow-through, and why consuming more information is not the same as taking action. This conversation is about learning to think critically, aligning your values with your effort, and understanding that progress does not require perfection. If you have been waiting to feel ready before you move forward, this episode will help you see what is actually holding you back and how to change it.We talk about:-thinking less and doing more-prioritizing self-care-the impact of living on screens-learning to think critically-emotions tied to the scale-why average is okay-aligning your values with your effortTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:55 knowing yourself5:22 how the iPhone steals your motivation14:53 how you’re showing up20:10 application versus information25:41 why people quit32:41 getting to where you want to be is not perfect37:29 shifting expectationsCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/
