In this episode of Real Talk, I have the amazing opportunity to catch up with my former colleague and amazing physio (to me personally and to my clients) Dan Arthur.

There’s a reason for the quotation marks in the show title and I believe it’s fair to say that Christian and myself often feel as though the health and fitness industry ins’t doing what it should.  You would think that the health and fitness industry would help people rather than hurt or harm or even mislead people, but if often does. You should assume that when you turn up to work with a hea...

In this week’s episode of Real Talk, I have the great honour and pleasure of speaking with Bossbabe and mum-to-be Keezia.  It has been a wild ride following her journey from when she was 21 up until now.  She has showcased her ability to transform and evolve to such an extent, I had to reach out and ask if she would be a part of the show as I wanted to understand the HOW behind transform...

In this week’s episode, I learn just how much you can connect with someone you hardly know.  Turns out, the person next to you probably has more in common with you than you realize.  Would you believe that I barely know Reece - I ‘social media’ know him and have been following his story and journey for some time though we have never crossed paths, that is, until now. The amazing space th...
