Client Interview: How Shayne went from depressed + bad PCOS symptoms TO NOW NO BLOATING & Positive Mindset!

Client Interview: How Shayne went from depressed + bad PCOS symptoms TO NOW NO BLOATING & Positive Mindset!

Shayne started with us 6 weeks ago - she described herself as:

- uncomfortable in clothes

- PCOS symptoms were really bad

- mental health and depression was an an all time low

- her relationship was suffering from this

- she desired a healthy routine again and motivation to workout + go for walks

NOW SHE SAYS:

- she's fitting back into old clothes

- she's built new healthy habits and wants to exercise or go for walks after work

- more energy

- no bloat

- positive mindset

- learned tools and techniques to help her for the future

ON TOP OF THAT:

She lost over 3.6kg of pure fat, 9cm from her hips and 4cm lost from each thigh.

She is proud of what she accomplished and is also blown away with her before and after photos.

She works full time and studies too! But this didn't affect her results...

She also achieved these amazing results with only 3 home workouts per week, following a meal plan that didn't include counting calories, and she attend fortnightly 1-1 calls with myself - her accountability coach!

My First Ever Radio Interview!!! Exercise & Wellbeing in COVID Isolation with Kramer from 4AK Station...

My First Ever Radio Interview!!! Exercise & Wellbeing in COVID Isolation with Kramer from 4AK Station...

Wow! My first ever radio interview happened at 7:20am on Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of April 2020!

I'm over the moon to say the least, and so so grateful for the opportunity. 

I was a bit nervous to listen to myself back! However, it turned out really great and in fact there's so many helpful points and tips jam packed in the short 8 minutes of air time. 

In this interview, we chat all things wellbeing, isolation, getting started with exercise and routines. 

If you want to tune into 4AK, it's 99.5 on FM and 1242 on AM radio. 

Enjoy!

What does suffering, perseverance, character and hope all have in common?

What does suffering, perseverance, character and hope all have in common?

When I read this passage on the weekend, I felt instantly in my heart that this passage of text is for the time we are going through right now. 

Everyone in the world is in some way or another affected by COVID-19. But how does this tough time, serve a great purpose? 

How does this problem, actually lead us to more hope and help us be a better person both mentally and morally?! 

How does pressure create a proven character in us? How can you use this time to challenge yourself to achieve a greater potential, rather than just focusing on the crisis' at hand? 

Enjoy!

What to do when you're not fulfilled & how to turn your life around | Ft. Holly Louise - The Fit Pharmacist

What to do when you're not fulfilled & how to turn your life around | Ft. Holly Louise - The Fit Pharmacist

Holly Louise has an incredible life story, of how she was diagnosed with and then overcame some of the worst health diseases, to then becoming a Pharmacist, to now owning two businesses! 

Holly is an online Trainer, cafe owner & body positivity advocate.

What I love about Holly, is her messages on social media and programs are real & relatable, they are backed by science from her Pharmacy background, and she doesn't promote any fad diets or unrealistic body and diet expectations. 

She has taken some pretty huge risks and worked really hard to make it to where she is today (which you hear all about in the podcast) and I loved learning from her story. 

So here is it! I'm excited for you to listen! Enjoy and please DM myself or Holly on social media and share your thoughts about this episode!

What really is FREEDOM? & do we get FREEDOM from the external or internal? BTW...Welcome Back | Solo Episode with your host Nicole Steffens

What really is FREEDOM? & do we get FREEDOM from the external or internal? BTW...Welcome Back | Solo Episode with your host Nicole Steffens

Welcome back to the second season of this podcast with Nicole Steffens!

We introduce you to.... "FREEDOM WITH NICOLE" Episode 1! 

In this episode your host, Nicole Steffens, explains why she decided to rebrand this podcast and why this podcast exists. 

After chasing the external and worldly "success", Nicole was still unhappy and unsatisfied. She learnt that chasing the money, cars, business success & boys wasn't truly fulfilling. What social media shows us of what "success" is, isn't actually setting us "free" though! 

We keep looking for external, materialistic things to get our happiness and freedom from. 

Yet.... we are still left empty, insecure, thirsty and searching. Confused even. 

So if freedom doesn't come from the external, does it come from the internal? 

Nicole has her own story to share about what she found out on her entrepreneurial journey of chasing 'success' and 'freedom'. 

See more about Nicole here - www.freedomwithnicole.com 

Please connect with us on social media and send in any questions or thoughts you have about this podcast episode - @freedomwithnicole

Please leave us a review here on the podcast too! xx
