In this episode, I sit down in person with Anthony for a chat about how setting a goal, like signing up for a race or event, changes everything.
When there’s a date in the diary, it’s not just about training anymore. You start fuelling better, hydrating properly, and making choices that support how you want to feel on race day. It gives you direction, focus, and that sense of purpose so many people lose when they’re “just trying to get fit.”
Anthony shares his plans for two big cycle events next year, and we talk about how accessible both running and cycling actually are, you don’t need all the gear or experience to start. There are smaller local events that help you build confidence before taking on bigger challenges.
We also talk about that feeling at the finish line, the pride, the disbelief, the “I actually did it” moment, and why it’s worth every bit of effort.
If you’ve been drifting, waiting for motivation, or saying you’ll start in January, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need to wait. The second you give yourself a goal, everything starts to change.

This final episode of Reset & Rise brings everything together.
It’s about the shift from doing the work to becoming the woman who no longer gives up when life gets hard. I explore what the most consistent women do differently, how they manage their emotions, protect their energy, build self-trust, and stay connected to their goals even in messy seasons.
You’ll walk away with the mindset and structure to make your results last, not for six weeks, but for life.

We’ve all been told that success starts with a “perfect” routine - early alarms, green smoothies, colour-coded planners. But for most women, real life doesn’t look like that. In this episode, I break down the biggest myths about routines, share how I simplified my own after years of trial and error, and teach you how to build one that actually fits your season of life.
You’ll learn how to set flexible anchors, release guilt, plan for messy days, and finally see structure as something that supports you, not something that punishes you.

In this episode of Reset & Rise, I’m talking all about energy. Because let’s be honest so many women I work with are exhausted, running on caffeine, and blaming themselves for not having enough motivation. I’ve been there too, back when I thought the answer was to just push harder, get more steps in, or drink another coffee. But what I learned is that energy doesn’t just come from sleep or willpower, it’s about the invisible drains we’re carrying every day.
I walk you through the different types of tiredness we don’t often name, from decision fatigue to nervous system overload, and I share why more movement or earlier alarms aren’t always the answer. You’ll hear about the small but powerful habits that helped me rebuild my energy, the ways my clients are doing the same, and how you can start filling your bucket instead of constantly pouring from an empty one.
This is Episode 4 of our six-part Reset & Rise series, and it’s for every woman who’s tired of feeling tired.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest blocks to consistency and fat loss-your relationship with food.
If you’ve ever felt out of control, eaten in secret, or binged after being “good” all day. I’ve been there too. In this episode, I talk about the binge-restrict cycle, emotional eating, and how I finally stopped fearing food and started fuelling my body with confidence.
I also share how tracking changed everything for me, not to restrict, but to understand. I used to hear about calories all the time and thought I understood them but I didn’t. Not really. Until I saw my own patterns on paper.
This episode gives you the mindset shifts, journal prompts, and simple steps to start rebuilding trust with food again-without starting another diet.
This is Part 3 of 6 in the Reset & Rise series.
And it might be the one that changes the way you eat, and live, for good.

In this episode of Reset & Rise, I’m walking you through the four core habits that change everything, not just for fat loss, but for energy, consistency, and confidence too.
These are the habits I use with nearly every woman I coach, especially the ones who’ve tried all the diets, done the steps, and still feel stuck.
We’re talking about:
This is Part 2 of a 6-part series and it’s where everything starts to shift. Hit play and let’s rebuild your routine from the ground up.

In this first episode of Reset & Rise, I’m talking about the lie that’s been quietly sabotaging your fat loss, and no, it’s not carbs or lack of willpower.
It’s the belief that you have to be perfect to make progress.
If you’ve ever said, “I was doing so well, then I blew it,” or if you’re stuck in the cycle of starting over every Monday, this is for you.
I’ll share why the all-or-nothing mindset is so destructive, how to break the start-again loop, and the one mental shift that changed everything for me, and for the women I coach.
This is Part 1 of a 6-part series designed to help you reset your habits, rebuild your confidence, and finally feel in control again, without starting over ever again.
Hit play, and let’s start rewriting your story together.

This week I had my lovely friend Lizzie on the podcast — and honestly, it felt like such a full-circle moment. We’ve known each other for over 20 years… from football pitches to Sligo IT lecture halls, to working together in the leisure centre, to now both running businesses that (somehow!) overlap perfectly.
We had such a good chat about:
✨ Why so many of us feel disconnected from our bodies
✨ How comparison can quietly hold us back from our full potential
✨ The power of combining strength and stillness in your health journey
✨ Why “doing more” isn’t always the answer
✨ And a little sneak peek into our upcoming live event 👀
It’s friendly, real, a little nostalgic, and full of those “oh wow, that makes sense” moments. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you’re just pushing through on autopilot — this episode is going to give you a fresh perspective.

You’re doing the workouts. You’ve joined the gym. You’re walking more. So why hasn’t the scale moved? In this episode, I break down the real reasons women struggle to lose body fat despite consistent movement and it’s not because you’re lazy or broken.
I’ll cover:
This episode is your reminder that you’re not failing, you’re just missing the full picture. And once you understand how your body works, everything changes.

In this episode, I dive into why so many of us lose control around food at social events — and how to change that. Whether it’s a summer BBQ, birthday party, or food festival, the panic to eat it all “while you can” is more about mindset than hunger. I’ll share how to respond confidently to food pressure, why ownership beats restriction, and how stepping outside your comfort zone is where real growth happens. Plus: how to enjoy the food you love without sabotaging how you want to feel the next day.
Expect honesty, a few hard truths, and plenty of practical tools to help you show up in full control — no matter what’s on the table.

This episode is part birthday reflection, part real-time rant — and completely unfiltered.
I’m sharing what the past year (and the past week) has taught me:
From launching this podcast, to running in Berlin, to growing my business, to running 38km on my birthday… in new shoes… without my inhaler… while limping through Morton’s neuroma.
I talk about being let down by podiatry care, pushing through chest tightness, and hitting breaking point — while still backing myself every step of the way.
This one is for anyone who needs the reminder that pain, frustration, and self-doubt don’t mean you’re failing — they mean you’re in it.
And I’m not backing off now. I’ve got bigger goals for year 38, two Super Halfs to go, and a mission to help as many women as possible ditch diet culture and take their power back.

In this episode, I’m taking you through the 10K I almost skipped — and why choosing to run it anyway became one of the most powerful moments of my training (and life). From dancing ‘til 2am at a food and drink festival to battling a 7K mental wall, this race was never about a PB — it was about proving to myself that I can do hard things, even when everything says “don’t bother.”
We’ll talk:
If you’ve ever found yourself backing out when things get hard, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m giving a personal life update — quitting my job and training for an ultramarathon — before diving into one of the most frustrating parts of fat loss: the dreaded plateau.

Whether you’ve been “on a diet” for years or just feel stuck right now, this one’s for you.

In this straight-talking episode, I dive deep into a phrase I hear all the time: “I thought I’d be further along by now.” If you’ve ever felt frustrated with slow progress, scale plateaus, or the feeling that you’re stuck while everyone else is flying ahead — this one is for you. I’m pulling back the curtain on why those expectations are holding you back, what’s actually normal when life is lifing, and how to shift your mindset from “I should be further” to “I’m building something real.” Plus, I share 5 actionable ways to flip your thinking and start attacking your goals like someone who refuses to be average.
Expect some laughs, a few uncomfortable truths, and the kind of coaching pep talk you didn’t know you needed.
