#185 - Structure gives you freedom, not restriction 17.06.2026 28:04
One of my clients spent five minutes telling me that structure feels like restriction. Like the Star Wars trash compactor scene. Then I asked her one question, and it changed the way she thought about structure. In this episode, Travis breaks down why structure isn't the enemy of freedom, it's actually what creates it, and why the reason healthy habits feel suffocating has nothing to do with the h...
#184 - Failure is mandatory 10.06.2026 24:16
One of my clients had five great sessions in a row with her physiologist. Then after one 'bad' session, she messaged me convinced she'd failed and was back at square one. In this episode, I break down why failure is a built-in requirement of the process, and why learning to recover from it (instead of scrapping everything and starting again) is the main thing that leads to actually sustaining your...
#183 - You're not lazy, you're just not digging deep enough 21.05.2026 30:32
This episode is about a woman who booked a call with me. She knew she was overthinking and overcomplicating everything . She was already working with a coach, so I decided to help her figure out why she wasn't executing her coach's plan. She wasn't going to the gym because she kept going home first. She wasn't meal prepping because her parents were in the kitchen asking questions. None of that was...
#182 - 4 ways all-or-nothing overthinkers actually build habits 13.05.2026 50:40
Travis breaks down the four things actually keeping you stuck, and spoiler, it's not laziness or lack of discipline. He unpacks why everything you've been taught about consistency is actually working against you, why your perfectionism (self-sabotage) is disguised as a consistency problem, and how knowing which "season" of life you're in right now could change everything. This is the stuff he coac...
#181 - ADHD Nutrition Research Expert Annika @thenutrimindlab 29.04.2026 57:04
In this episode, Travis (@travismurrells_ ) sits down with ADHD nutrition research expert Annika ( @thenutrimindlab ) to explore the often-overlooked intersection of ADHD, hormones, and nutrition, specifically for women. Annika breaks down why women with ADHD experience perimenopause symptoms up to 10 years earlier than the general population, and why declining estrogen makes ADHD symptoms progres...
#180 - Started ADHD Meds? Do This While You Can 04.03.2026 16:02
Don't be trapped by relying on the euphoria of ADHD meds. It will wear off, and you must leverage that feeling while it's still around to build a lifestyle that can support your ADHD symptoms more naturally, alongside the medication. I fell into this hard and spent 9-12 months thinking there was something wrong with me, wondering why they never felt the same, until I realised this is just how it's...
#179 - How you can avoid binge eating the holidays away. 20.10.2025 40:42
The most common issue I hear people struggling with this time of year is that they're worried about Christmas. Something more routine than family drama over the holidays is the fact that people binge their way through it. - They eat till they feel like they're going to explode. - They fear missing out on the Christmas food. - The Boxing Day leftovers. - The December 27th leftovers from leftovers....
#178 - The Rebrand: Who I am, my dark backstory, how I got here. 02.09.2025 1:12:07
I've gone through a complete rebrand. Not just on socials but I feel personally as well. I wanted to do this episode to give all my new followers some context into who I am as a person beyond my job title. I didn't realise how many people would relate to my struggles with mental health until I started speaking about it in 2018. I've always struggled with never feeling good enough because all I fee...
#177 - If you don't do this, you'll always fail. 17.03.2025 28:26
All my Unf*ck Your Self Clients understand this principle. So when I had a TikTok video go viral about my ADHD medication, comparing my first week of taking it to six months later, a lot of people felt the same and reached out for help. This episode is what I'd recommend for everyone, regardless of diagnosis. Interested in working with me? Click here for more info! Follow me on Instagram here !

#172 - Why you're always stuck | Therapy is a superpower, but... 11.02.2025 41:24
Most people are very logically aware of their problems, why they exist, and how to move through them. So... why are so many people still stuck in the same cycle? Because their logic is broken and their emotions are keeping them from seeing it. In this episode I run through why therapy is a superpower but why most people stay stuck because of therapy and how to move through that block. Want to be c...

#170 - Overcoming gym anxiety took me 12 months | How to get 'positive feels' from gym 27.01.2025 46:42
I struggled with gym anxiety even 3 years into being a personal trainer. It wasn't easy for me to become comfortable and confident in the gym, it only happened after around 12 months of starting back up. Oh, this was also after around 18 months of experience working out with a friend. I understand gym anxiety and I know what it's like to be at the gym and not get the endorphin rush or 'feel goods'...
#169 - How I managed ADHD pre-medication | Practical advice for improved productivity and health 20.01.2025 47:20
Most people who enquire about coaching ask if it would still work for them given they have ADHD. Most of my clients have ADHD and I have managed it naturally for years before being diagnosed with it in October 2023. My coaching works especially well if you have ADHD because I know what it's like to go through it and understand what the brain is looking for and how to work with it. In this episode,...
#168 - Why I don't set goals, what I do instead for insane results! 13.01.2025 47:12
I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious when I was setting my goals for the year on Monday, and it was because I felt I had to make my goals as perfect and pristine as what I had seen other coaches on Instagram do. Then I realised, I don't really set goals. I've always helped people and made a living from being different and keeping things simple. That's exactly what I run through in this episode. C...

#165 - How to maintain weight after coaching 11.11.2024 37:15
In her last call with me as her coach, a client asked three questions; What should I do with my nutrition when I get my period back? What do I do to maintain the weight I lose? How should I tackle the situation when I notice I'm sliding back into old habits? By the end of our coaching call, she felt better knowing the answers and how to manage the situation for when we're finished with coaching. O...

#161 - Turning 30. How is it downhill from here? 13.08.2024 34:33
I've been excited to turn 30 for a while. My twenties were for screwing around and finding out, dealing with my depression, anxiety, and mental illnesses, and trying to figure out what I'm meant to do in this life. All I hear from the older generation is how turning 30 is " All downhill from here ." My best friend turns 30 in November, she's freaking out about it as well, and I don't get it. In th...
