Shedding Your Old Self: The Hard Truth About Reinventing Your Life

Struggling to visualise your highest self? Can’t seem to show up as her day after day?

Maybe it’s because you’re still carrying an old identity that no longer fits.

The version of you that played small, said yes to the wrong sh*t, chased validation—she’s done.

If you want to become the woman you keep dreaming about...

You have to let go of the version you thought you were.

Because not everything that once aligned still belongs.

And maybe the table you were dying to sit at?

It’s not even worth showing up for anymore.

This episode is about full-body evolution.


It’s time to release, rewire, and rise.

Still Chasing the Past Version of You? Let Her Go.

  • Ep 79: How to Feel Confident AF in a Bikini

    17:13|
    This episode is about confidence in swimwear and no, not the fake kind that comes from a six week shred or hiding under a cover up.I break down why feeling confident at the beach, poolside, or on holiday has very little to do with what your body looks like and everything to do with how you treat yourself, speak to yourself, and back yourself day to day.We talk about why confidence is built by keeping promises to yourself, not by shrinking your body. Why working on the inside always shows on the outside. And why most women are comparing themselves to bodies that don’t exist while ignoring how normal real bodies actually are.I unpack the role of self respect, internal dialogue, social media distortion, and why your inner voice can either ruin or completely transform your experience in swimwear. We also talk about owning your presence, choosing your narrative, and letting swimwear be an expression of who you are, not something you hide in.This is for any woman who wants to stop wasting beach days, holidays, and memories at war with her body and start showing up confident, grounded, and fully in her life.

    16:06|
    This episode is for anyone who’s had a season with zero structure and is now sitting there thinking, how the hell do I get my life back on track?I break down exactly how I reset after holidays, sickness, travel, or any period where routine went out the window. No extremes. No Monday starts. No drama.I walk you through the four non negotiables that matter most when you’re getting back into structure, starting with nutrition, why rinse and repeat meals work, how to stop sabotaging yourself with “variety,” and how to get momentum fast without burning out.We talk steps, training, sleep, and why you need to stop overcomplicating what getting back on track actually looks like. This isn’t about punishment or restriction. It’s about taking control of the basics so your body, mind, and energy fall back into place.I also share exactly how I think about post holiday weight gain, bloating, and feeling off in your body, and why none of it needs to spiral into extremes if you understand the maths and stay consistent.If you’re done saying “I’ll start again Monday” and you want a simple, realistic way to lock back in starting today, this episode is your reset.
  • Ep 77: Slow Down, Get More Done (The Discipline Nobody Talks About)

    13:01|
    Most women think they need to move faster to get results. More hustle. More pressure. More doing.In reality, that mindset is exactly what keeps you overwhelmed, distracted, and inconsistent.In this episode, Henny breaks down why slowing down is the real key to discipline, focus, and long-term consistency. She shares what she has learned from years of observing high performers in business, fitness, and life, and why the women who get the biggest results are calm, controlled, and intentional.This episode covers why scrambling kills progress, how distraction is sabotaging your goals, and how simple structure changes the way you show up in your body, your work, and your daily life.If you want to become a high value woman in 2026, this episode will shift how you think about productivity, discipline, and success.
  • Ep 76: What To Do When You Have No Idea What You Want

    17:27|
    I recorded this episode for the women who are sitting there thinking, what the hell do I actually want to do with my life?Not because they’re lazy. Not because they lack drive. But because something feels off, even if everything on the outside looks fine.In this episode, I talk about why it’s completely normal to reach a point where your career, relationship, or lifestyle no longer fits, and why not knowing your next move doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re ready for something different.I walk you through how to remove the pressure of needing instant clarity, why bringing your thoughts to paper is the real starting point, and how to begin figuring out what you want by paying attention to what makes you feel alive, not what looks good on paper.I also share my own story of walking away from paths I’d already invested years into, relationships, career choices, identities, and why none of it was a waste. Every step built the skills and self-trust I use now.If you’re feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure where to go next, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need to blow up your life overnight. You just need to start listening, writing things down, and taking small actions toward what feels right.And if you truly don’t know where to begin, I explain why a physical transformation is often the fastest way to rebuild discipline, confidence, and self-trust, not for the body, but for the woman you become in the process.You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re just at the point where something new wants to be built.
  • Ep 75: You Don’t Need More Drive, You Need a Map

    14:11|
    This episode is a wake up call for every woman who keeps saying she knows what to do but still feels like she’s going in circles.I break down why effort alone is not enough, and why most women stay stuck not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because they’re trying to reach big goals without a map.Using a simple analogy, I explain how chasing goals without a clear plan is the fastest way to burn out, self sabotage, and end up right back where you started. We talk about reverse engineering your goals properly, turning vague desires into real targets, habits, and non negotiables you can actually follow on your worst days, not just your best ones.This episode is about structure over chaos, strategy over vibes, and becoming the woman who plays the long game properly. No perfection, no fantasy thinking, just clear systems that move the needle forward even when life gets messy.If you’re ready to stop looping, stop restarting, and start building momentum that actually lasts, this episode is for you.
  • Ep 74: Front Load Your Life or Stay Stuck Forever

    12:57|
    This episode is about the habit that quietly separates women who get results from women who keep starting over.Front loading.I break down why most goals don’t fail because of motivation, discipline, or willpower, they fail because people leave the important things until the end of the day, when they’re tired, overwhelmed, and full of excuses.We talk about why the version of you in the morning is your most powerful asset, and why your workouts, steps, nutrition, mindset, and side goals need to be handled by her, not the burnt out version of you at 8pm.I walk you through how to front load your days and your weeks so progress becomes inevitable, not optional. This is about structure over vibes, preparation over pressure, and building days that work for you instead of against you.If you’re sick of feeling behind, inconsistent, or like life keeps getting in the way of your goals, this episode will flip how you plan your days and how fast you start winning again.
  • Ep 73: Trust Your Gut and Play the Game Differently

    13:03|
    This episode is about letting go of control and finally trusting yourself.I recorded this sitting in Bali, two days into the new year, after making a completely unplanned decision to jump on a plane and remove myself from my usual environment. And that moment sparked a bigger conversation about flow, intuition, and how much we overthink our lives.I talk about why women get stuck in analysis paralysis, why our gut always knows before our head catches up, and how staying logical, emotional, or people-pleasing keeps us playing small. This is about learning how to make decisions from instinct, not fear.We cover how trusting your gut builds confidence, why quick decisions are often the right ones, and what actually happens when you stop waiting for certainty and let life unfold. Not from chaos, but from alignment.If you’ve been feeling stuck, unaligned, overwhelmed, or like you’re living the same year on repeat, this episode is your reminder that nothing changes until you start playing the game differently.You don’t need more thinking. You need more movement. You need to trust yourself and go.Press play if you’re ready to stop sitting on the sidelines of your own life.
  • EP 72: The Gym Shows You Your Future Before You Get There

    13:08|
    This episode is a reminder that real change does not come from motivation, perfect starts, or waiting until you feel ready. It comes from showing up, especially when it feels average.I break down why the gym and movement in general is one of the few places in life where the work you do today gives you a clear preview of who you will become if you do not quit. Not someday. Not in theory. Today.We talk about why consistency needs to be boring, why feelings cannot be in charge, and why one missed session does not matter but patterns absolutely do. This episode is about removing emotion from the process and replacing it with standards.If you have a toxic relationship with exercise, keep starting over, or rely on motivation to get moving, this conversation will reset how you think about training and discipline altogether.This is about building trust with yourself, voting for the woman you want to become, and deciding that quitting is no longer part of the conversation.Press play if you are ready to stop negotiating with your goals and start acting like the person you say you want to be.
  • Ep 71: Build the Person First, The Results Follow

    17:21|
    This episode is my honest reflection on what I wish I had understood sooner and what actually moved my life forward in 2025.Not surface-level wins. Not shiny goals. The real shifts.I talk about how discipline became part of my identity, why consistency beats perfection every time, and how my life only changed when I stopped negotiating with myself. We get into overthinking, decision fatigue, boundaries, environment, and why starting over again and again is what keeps most people stuck.This episode is about becoming the person your goals require, not chasing motivation or waiting for the perfect reset. It’s about building habits that run on autopilot, protecting your energy, cleaning up your environment, and staying when it would be easier to quit.If you’re heading into a new year thinking “this time will be different,” this is the conversation you need. Not to hype you up, but to ground you, challenge you, and give you clarity on who you actually need to become to make your goals inevitable.Listen if you’re ready to stop restarting and start following through 🤍
