Goddess Got Goals

The single most common response I hear from women when embarking on a new fitness or body shape change goal is "I don't have the time" followed by "I need the gym/a class/trainer/instructor" to follow to reach my goals. So I've invited my very good friend, Jenna Carelli, a business consultant in the Wellness Industry, fitness and nutrition expert to share her expertis...

For most, 2020 has been a tough year. No one could have predicted what the last 12 months have thrown at us. If you’ve made it through physically and emotionally in almost one piece, you’re amazing.  And even if you haven’t, that’s okay too. If you’ve had a good year, despite the obvious, then I want you to celebrate this without guilt. However 2020 has all but gone and especially if things didn’t...

I get it.  You have done all the things and still not happy.  There are so many plans, approaches or voices out there, what will work for you? How do you achieve the Body Shape Change you want? Well I'm calling Bullshit!  Bullshit on these things I hear most days: "I have followed the plan and didn't get results" "I did all the right things and still didn't lose weigh...

We are all struggling right now in different ways.  And whether you like to admit it or not, your physical health is impacted by your mental health.  Anxiety and stress mess with us way more than you can imagine. I want to start with my own story and my own journey and the impact that the lockdowns and Covid has had on my business and my mental health but more importantly, what I do and continue t...

Lockdown is continuing or starting (if you are in the UK right now but also in many cities around the world).. not got so much to look forward to or get dressed up for... darker mornings & nights so what’s the point in working out now? I felt like this too a few weeks ago- BUT working out doesn’t just focus on the way you look! For one, It releases positive endorphins to lift your mood. After...

Success in your body shape change or lifestyle change journey is not so much about the setting of big lofty goals but of your habits goals, that routine or those rituals you do every day to get there. Habits. But also choices and working towards how you OWN each day. And then when it comes to rest & recovery- these habits, this routine is even more important. Let’s share with you some stats: R...

What to do if you used to train 3-4 times a week, something happened and you 'fell off'. This episode is about mojo, well move about losing it and having it! The weird thing about mojo is that we think it is some mystical force or energy that suddenly makes us motivated to do something.   And this is not the case. So in today's episode we are going to be talking about motivation, go...

What is the Wonder Woman Mindset and why it is the determining factor in the success or failure when achieving your goals?

There is just something about their certainty, their journey, their uniqueness....

Whilst  hunger  is the instinct of survival that drives us to feed when the body requires food,  appetite  is the feeling that we need to eat that is influenced by psychological aspects of the individual concerned (desire to eat for pleasure, happiness, boredom, sadness, anxiety etc) Hunger  is the  need to eat . If  you 're  hungry ,  you need  food because your body is telling  you  so. It&...

Why carbs are not the enemy.  Let's talk Low Carb Diets...

I never fail to be surprised by how much misunderstanding and trepidation surround working out. People who have not yet committed to a regular exercise routine have the general perception that you have to kill yourself to get in shape. In the 1970s, Jane Fonda popularized the phrase “No pain, no gain,” and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where all these misconceptions started. What’s sad is that...

To truly understand how this works for women over 40, you must first understand Body Shape Change. Whereas weight loss is about the reduction of mass i.e. how much you weigh on the scale. Body Shape Change focuses on the shape of the body, the curves, the leaning out of your midsection and to dewobble your wobbly bits! You see, you cannot ‘tone’ a muscle. You are either building that lean muscle t...

It is not OK just to guess at what and how much you are eating every day if you want to change your Body Shape, even if your plate is stacked high with healthy, clean food. "I eat relatively healthy" is something I hear every day. But 'healthy' or 'clean' is not measurable, nor is it individual. When I respond with "You are probably not eating enough food" I...

What does over exercise look like for women. First we must address how much or how little exercise to do. How much or what kind of exercise to do. And this is tricky. There are no definitive studies out there that point to the exact science. Or to be blunt the issue of just how much exercise people need and how much may be either too little or too much is from a scientific standpoint, a big fat me...
