Elevate With Kate

The Fitness Industry & Diet Culture has shamed and conditioned you into thinking that if you can't be perfect, and show up to 100% of the healthy habits required to lose weight, that you're a failure, you may as well throw in the towel and just give up.

It's just NOT TRUE! There's nowhere else in your life that you expect yourself to never make a mistake. And if you do make a mistake, you just throw in the towel. It doesn't happen.

The All Or Nothing mentality doesn't serve you. It is not conducive to you getting healthier, so it's about time you throw it in the bin!!!!

We're all so scared to try.

We're scared of putting in effort and failing, and we often ask "what if". What if I try and it doesn't work? What if I try and fail? What if this isn't the correct method? What if, what if, what if?!

Life is so f*cking short. We've only got one shot.

So instead of being stuck in fear and paralysed in action....

just FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT!!!!

Try. Fail. Try again. Probs fail again. And keep trying until you win.

You've got this!!!!!!!

If "getting skinny" is no longer enough of a reason to kick your lil bott into gear, it might be time to rethink your why.

For so long my "why" was associated with being skinny. Deep down I thought that getting smaller would make me stop hating myself, become more confident and feel worthy and good enough. These days, my why could not be further from that.

I have learnt that my worth as a woman and my value as a human has nothing to do with my appearance.

The reason I get up every single day and focus on living a healthy lifestyle has nothing to do with what I look like and everything to do with how I feel.

My hope for you as you listen to this, if you are still currently being driven by your appearance, is to hopefully shift your focus on feeling better and becoming the best version of you, outside of your appearance.

It seems so simple to "master the basics". But guess what... simple is effective. And, simple actually works!!!

Can we please stop overcomplicating health, demonising foods or food groups and confusing everyone?!

Master the basics. Repeat the basics. Consistently.

Forever more. The end.

Recently I've come across two new groups of people. As I was reflecting, I noticed that in one group of people, I can be entirely myself and in the other, I was craving to be accepted.

In this episode, I share these experiences and discuss the differences between fitting in and belonging. And why we need to chase the groups of people where we are accepted for who we are, instead of having to change ourselves to be accepted by the group.

Hope you enjoy this episode and it encourages you to assess your own groups and chase belonging more.

Love you!!!

Have you ever heard the saying... Success Leaves Clues?

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, I think there's some flaws that maybe you haven't thought about. In this episode I discuss the nuance of this topic and why you need to get to know and understand yourself on a deep level so that you can work out which method is right for your goals!

Also, I share the direction for the pod and why I decided to go that way. Proud of me 🥹

Comparison might be the thief of joy, but listening to everyone else's opinions and not trusting that you know what is best for you is the thief of you living your dream life.

In this episode, I share with you how my perceived fear of what other's thought of me nearly held me back from reverting back to my original business and what I truly value.

If you'd told me at the start of the year I'd be rebuilding the business I burnt to the ground - I would have told you that you were MAD.

But life works in mysterious and wonderful ways, and well - HERE WE ARE!

If you are someone who has struggled with weight regain after a big loss, and the associated feelings of shame and failure and now are ready to get healthy again -- you are exactly the perfect fit for Elevate.

Do you keep stopping, giving up or allowing yourself to get caught up in the numbers, or lack of results? In this episode, I share with you the ways in which I've allowed myself to get discouraged with my goals by only focusing on the numbers or seemingly lack of results. I've been able to turn this around, and I share with you the mindset shifts responsible for not giving up on yourself. Hope you enjoy!

Love you!!!

This episode is an assortment of thoughts and things I wanted to share with you. I went into this episode thinking that I was sitting across the table from you at brunch and I was sharing some updates and insights into what's been happening recently. It's kinda random, but do you like it? DM me with your thoughts so we can extend this coffee chat.

OMG getting this episode up was a MISSION and a half. You'll hear the story in the episode, but after that, my editing software wasn't working so I had to use 3 different platforms to get this out to you! In this episode, I share with you a very important message... something is better than nothing! I hope this message hits you at just the right time and helps you get out of the all or nothing mindset!

Love you!!!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately; the meaning of life, our potential, if I'm making the most of my one shot on this planet. In a book called "The 5 Regrets of the dying", Bronnie Ware shares the most common regrets of her patients she looked after in Palliative Care. In this episode, I share with you these most common regrets as a reminder for us to ensure we are making the most of our life whilst we are still living. My hope for this episode is to give us all a little kick up the butt and step back and assess where we're at and if we're truly happy.

Love you,

You know those days that you actually just cannot be f*cked to follow through on your personal commitments and your habits that you've created that will ultimately lead to your goals? You're human, of course you have those days! So what do you do on those days when you just CBF, but also your goals are important to you, you have a clear why and you don't want to break your commitments? In this episode, I share with you a way to trick your brain into doing exactly that, as well as share insight into why you can't rely on motivation and what to do instead! Hope this one helps 😍

I'm not gonna lie, that title is clickbait 101. It's not really a secret, I'd almost guarantee you already know. It's just that you need the reminder. I do too. We live in a a society where we can get most things at the click of our fingertips, which can be amazing, but it is also a detriment to our success in achieving our goals. In this episode, I remind you what it truly takes to achieve your goals. Hint: it's something to do with time! Hope you enjoy.

Sometimes we need to step back, birds eye view our life, check ourselves and check in with ourselves to see where we're at, what we're doing and whether we're working towards or away from our dream life. In this episode I share a few places I've held myself back and pose the question to you - where in your life are you playing small or holding yourself back? I share an exercise for you to do to check in with yourself on this. My hope is that together we can work to grow and elevate as a community 🦋

Love you,

The Norwegian Government has just introduced a Law, whereby creators and advertisers need to attach a disclaimer label to retouched images. Violations will be punishable by fines. In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on this legislation, and dissect the effects that photos being manipulated online has on women these days.

I also discuss the pressures to have a perfect body and how this pressure has led to women feeling the need to surgically alter their physique in a bid to feel confident about their bodies. 

This one's a massive topic - enjoy you delicious human xo

WORK WITH ME:

Investing in yourself will give you a lifetime return on investment. Yet it's something that so many women struggle to do. There's a big relationship between worth and money and lots of women don't feel worthy of investing in themselves, yet will happily purchase shoes, make up, get their nails and hair done regularly and participate in surface level self care. In this episode, I provide you with a bit of a perspective shift in terms of what's more important, and ask that you consider how you could become resourceful to prioritise yourself above all else.

Love you!

Life's weird, man! What is life? What is life without deep human connection? What is life without joy? What is the purpose of life? This episode is me sharing some deep life thoughts about life with the intention that it makes you think too. Too many of us sleep through life. We put masks on. We don't let people in. We allow our dreams to go to our graves. It's time to WAKE UP. Tomorrow is not promised. Life is so short. The only thing that is certain in this life is that we are going to die. So it's time to start LIVING.

Love you!

WORK WITH ME:

Consistency is king if you want to achieve something. Everything you do, small or large, consistently and over a long period of time will compound towards achieving your specified outcome. Keep showing up for yourself, even if only 10 minutes a day. Because... SOMETHING is better than NOTHING!

Self love has become an overused and misunderstood term across social media. It's something that you know you probably need but you're probably entirely unsure how to go about creating it. 

In this episode, my intention is to take Self Love out of being an abstract concept that would be 'nice to have' and into something that is more understood by sharing my definition, why it's so important, how to create it and the 12 foundational pillars of self love.

It's a personal belief that every female on this planet needs to focus on the relationship she has with herself and so I hope this message is conveyed through this episode.

Love you!

The number 5 regret of the dying is that they wished they had allowed themselves to be happier. In this episode, I share how you are choosing to not choose happiness, by staying in the the 'if x, then y' cycle. Something by which, you are choosing to delay your happiness, feelings of worthiness and self love until you reach a desired future outcome. 

This one's a bit of a kick-in-the-butt reminder.

Love you!

WORK WITH ME:

I used to be in camp 'no pain no gain', 'team no excuses', and think that if I wasn't busy I wasn't succeeding. But the truth is, some days you just can't. Full stop. And it's on these days that you have to have compassion for yourself, acknowledge what exists and give yourself what you need. In this episode, I share how 100% effort looks different on different days and because it's my brain... I also cover a few more topics hehe, including:

1. Childhood, Inner Child Work & Love Attachments
2. Hustle Culture And Why It's An Issue
3. Creating Presence In Your Life And Giving Yourself Permission To Rest

Hi, hello, g'day, I welcome myself back to the land of Podcasting. Had a wee breakeroo as I had some things I needed to process and integrate and the poddy took a little lower priority on the scale of priorities. Welcome to life, yano. But in that time I really had to work out if I was being kind to myself and giving myself permission to take a break or not. Anyway, have a listen to this podcast that covers 473 different topics in one. We discuss self forgiveness, having flexibility with your expectations and giving yourself permission to take a break or rest when needed.

So in this episode, I dive a little deeper into what that was and encourage you to be vulnerable with your closest and trusted humans in your life. I cry like 4 times so you know it's an emotional goodie!

In this episode, I speak to Careen Killingbeck, a health and fitness specialist who loves helping women navigate through their pregnancy and postnatal journey. She's a Mum to 2 boys and a WBFF Bikini Pro.

We touch on the importance of aligning with your values to live a fulfilling life, body image throughout a postpartum journey, depression and mental illness, feelings of not being good enough, her struggles in childhood and early 20s, the value of prioritising your health and SO MUCH MORE! This one is a juicy one!!

The truth is, I've been in a little funkeroo the last few days to a week. And instead of sharing what to do when I was out of it, I decided to be a human and share what I was feeling when I was inside of it and then share some actionable things for you to do if you're feeling the same way. 

In this episode, I share how to actually get yourself out of a funk and how to feel motivated when doing things is the last thing you feel like doing.

We dissect self love and speak on how it shows up in relationships, break ups, careers, and she speaks on her struggles with her appearance and perfectionism, body dysmorphia, being comfortable being yourself, feelings of not being good enough, struggles to leave the house without make up and the concept of personal power.

We speak about how self love comes in stages and chapters and each area in relation to self love needs attention at different times in your life.
