If you’ve ever worn yourself out doing endless cardio because you believed that’s what you should be doing to lose weight and get fit;
if you’re ever punished yourself at the gym to force yourself to get smaller and thinner, you’re about to discover a much better way of enjoying fitness and getting truly healthy right here.
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Alice Butler, a former competitive powerlifter turned online strength and fat loss coach, to bust some serious myths about fitness, body image and what it really means to be strong in body and mind.
Alice shares her personal journey from being made redundant after maternity leave to building an empowering online coaching business that helps women reclaim their strength, confidence, and self-worth - one deadlift at a time.
Together, we talk through:
✨ The most common (and damaging) fitness ‘shoulds’ women are taught to believe
✨ Why strength training is a game-changer - not just for your body, but your mindset and mental health
✨ How to start small and build sustainable habits without the all-or-nothing pressure
✨ Why you definitely won’t get bulky from weight lifting
✨ Real stories from Alice’s clients that prove that you can start exactly where you are, even if you think you can’t lift a single dumbbell right now
✨ How to find the right coach, the right routine and the right environment to truly start seeing results in your workouts
✨ Why guilt-free self-care and body positivity can go hand-in-hand with fitness goals
This is an inspiring, no-BS conversation that’ll leave you feeling fired up to move your body from a place of genuine self-love, not punishment.
🎧 Listen to the episode now to ditch the “skinny is best” myth and step into a vision of strength, joy, and sustainable self-care—on your terms.
