If you’ve ever wondered what it is, how it works, or whether it’s right for you, then this episode is for you. I’m sharing why I’m moving away from fitness coaching and into something that lights me up even more - helping women shift their mindset, let go of people pleasing and perfectionism, and finally create the balance, confidence and fulfilment you’ve been craving. In this episode, I talk about – What life coaching really is (and what it’s not). How it’s different from fitness coaching and counselling. The kinds of goals life coaching can help you reach (career, confidence, relationships, balance, food freedom). The step-by-step process I use with my clients to get them unstuck and moving forward. A real client story that shows how powerful these mindset shifts can be. Time Stamps - 00:00 Introduction to life coaching 01:25 ...

But I've seen a subtle shift in their marketing and I'm here to tell you about it. The move away from straight forward weight loss to a community "supported" approach. I'm here to tell you that it doesn't matter if you are on the jabs or not - that's what you need. You still need to be doing the basics - The lifting weights. The eating regularly and having enough protein and fibre. The working on your relationship with food. Thats what I do. Have a listen and then drop me a message and I can tell you how I would support you. #coachingwithcara Go back and listen to episode 24 "All you need to know about weight loss jabs" for a comprehensive view on all things jabs.

If you went for a run you were called a jogger and probably shouted at  “Run Forrest Run”. Skincare meant some E45 and a Boots cucumber wet wipe. But nowadays “wellness is everywhere”. From complex morning routines, to 12 step skincare, to training for an Ironman in your spare time. Wellness is on the rise but where does it stop? Or even start if you are a 30 something trying to build a career, manage the house, have a social life and sort the kids? I delve into that in this episode. Please have a listen and let me know what you think over on socials. #coachingwithcara Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/106416754/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-7-4%2F405084803-44100-2-15cff23d3be75.m4a https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/106106989/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-6-28%2F404687274-44100-2-bf755f5e349f4.m4a Before and after pictures. I don't like them. However, they sell coaching. But I will never use them. And in this episode I explain why. It's a little bit ranty but I'm changing things up slightly so you can expect more opinions, feelings and thoughts about all sorts of things. Please let me know your thoughts on social media. Thanks for listening.

So the notion of putting food in the bin feels really icky. But then so does eating the cold and crusty chicken nugget. If you eat your kids leftovers I want you to listen to the podcast and ask yourself these two powerful questions. - How hungry am I? - Is this nourishing me? Then make an informed decision based. Listen in if you want to explore more. #coachingwithcara Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/105786032/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-6-21%2F404277051-44100-2-34467747d7666.m4a https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/105479917/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-6-14%2F403886817-44100-2-86d3109ffcc8c.m4a With your routine about to go out the window, your house about to be turned upside down and you being put at the bottom of the priority pile - it can only mean one thing. Summer holidays are here. So to keep you moving I share my top tips to keep you moving. Because that's what I really care about. Have a listen (it's a quick one) and let me know your thought's over on social media. #coachingwithcara Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/105479917/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-6-14%2F403886817-44100-2-86d3109ffcc8c.m4a https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/105145806/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-6-7%2F403455565-44100-2-9ce8827a4f6a.m4a The whole full fat v low fat debate is an interesting one. So I’m going to debunk a few myths for you and set the record straight in this episode. If you have ever wondered if going full fat is “bad” for you or if you are doing the “right” thing by having low fat foods. Then this podcast is for you. Let me know your opinions over on social media. #coachingwithcara Fri, 11 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/105145806/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-6-7%2F403455565-44100-2-9ce8827a4f6a.m4a https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/104828468/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-5-30%2F403050381-44100-2-bcfe6ed81464e.m4a Quiet fitness is my bag. Real fitness. What fitness would look like if you did it. Not what is pushed on social media. If you feel like you - "aren't fit enough to workout" "wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself" Then listen into this episode as I talk about reframing those limiting beliefs, taking down barriers in your mind and taking action. Let me know over on social media what you think and if you want any limiting beliefs reframing for you. #coachingwithcara Fri, 04 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/104828468/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-5-30%2F403050381-44100-2-bcfe6ed81464e.m4a https://anchor.fm/s/48fd2350/podcast/play/104514695/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-5-23%2F402649642-44100-2-69cce336d782d.m4a I do like a good milestone and 50 episodes felt like a good one to reflect and celebrate on. So in this episode I dig into three lessons that I’ve learned along the way and how they can help you with your fitness and health journey. I talk about the power of showing up for yourself, the force of consistency and the benefit of setting smaller process goals with the long term goal in mind. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I have enjoyed recording all 50 of them! Here’s to the next 50…. Thanks for listening.
