After reading through the questions from the group, Kim realized that almost every question had the same underlying issue: women begin fitness programs with a hypothesis about what their body will look like, how fast results will happen, and what transformation should feel like.

When reality doesn’t match that expectation, disappointment follows.

Kim shares the story of her own journey — from being a starving yoga teacher living on 1,000 calories a day to discovering bodybuilding and stepping on stage as a bikini athlete.

Through that experience, she learned the difference between assumptions and real data when it comes to body transformation.

Inside this episode:

• Why dieting alone doesn’t change body composition • The difference between hypothesis and real-world data in fitness • Why unrealistic expectations derail progress • The truth about how long muscle actually takes to build • How to turn disappointment into useful feedback • Why consistency over time is the real key to transformation

If you feel like your arms, legs, and back lean out… but your stomach refuses to budge, you’re not imagining it. And you’re not broken.

In this episode, Kim answers two powerful questions:

In this powerful interview, Kim sits down with Dr. Alicia Robbins, board-certified OB/GYN, lifestyle medicine diplomate, and certified menopause practitioner, to unpack the real story behind GLP-1s, microdosing, perimenopause, HRT, and the shame that still surrounds women’s health in midlife.

In this episode, I break it all down for you. I explain what each type of stress means, how they work, and exactly why they’re both essential for muscle growth.

• Mechanical stress focuses on heavy lifting, progressive overload, and creating maximum tension in the muscle fibers.

• Metabolic stress relies on the "burn," higher reps, shorter rest periods, and techniques like supersets and drop sets to push your muscles to the limit.

I also share practical tips on how to program these methods into your workouts so you can stop wasting time and finally start seeing results.

Whether you’re new to strength training or looking to break through a plateau, this episode will help you understand the science behind muscle growth so you can train smarter, not just harder.

In this episode, I’m getting brutally honest about my own experience with online trolls, hate comments, and public criticism, and how I went from being crushed by it, to being completely unbothered, to actually liking it.

I also explore where this fear of judgment really comes from—how shame is wired into us from childhood, and how the belief of “What will people think?” is the most destructive thing we can teach our kids.

For years, I suffered in silence with herpes outbreaks, believing they were something shameful and unrelated to anything else going on in my body. But I’ve since learned that menopause can be a major trigger for viral reactivation—especially herpes. And I realized I wasn’t alone.

In this deeply personal conversation, I open up about how I finally connected the dots, released the shame, and discovered that millions of women are silently going through the same thing.

If you've ever felt confused or embarrassed about recurring outbreaks in menopause, this episode will give you clarity, comfort, and most importantly, community.

You’ll hear exactly what led me to this point, how it’s impacted my appetite, inflammation, and training, and why this decision was rooted in science, not shortcuts. I’m also talking about the stigma, the backlash, and the misinformation surrounding these medications — and why more women need support, not silence.

Since I started speaking openly about this, Meta has been restricting my reach, taking down posts, and flagging my content. So I brought the conversation here — where I can speak freely, honestly, and without censorship.

If you’ve been curious, confused, or just want the unfiltered truth from someone who’s actually doing it, this is the episode you need to hear.

This episode is packed with actionable insights, creative strategies, and game-changing ideas to help you tackle problems, seize opportunities, and build the life you’ve always envisioned. By the end of this listen, you’ll feel inspired, equipped, and ready to turn possibility into reality. Your transformation starts here.

In just 12 months, Garron went from being completely unknown to becoming a viral sensation with MILLIONS of followers—his explosive rise to fame is beyond anything you could ever imagine.

In this unfiltered episode, Garron reveals his secrets for creating viral short-form content, turning personal struggles into strength, and making even the harshest online critics work in his favor. From deliberate typos that spark engagement to his journey of conquering agoraphobia, this episode is a masterclass in creativity, resilience, and the power of humor. Plus, his take on cultural humor and that one time a typo turned a Facebook ad into marketing gold! 

Hit play now—this one’s packed with laughs, lessons, and just the right amount of sass.

But what if I told you that there was a way you could 10X the return on your gym investment by simply applying this one, little known secret to your workouts?  When I added it to mine it double the results I was getting. 

In fact, I wasted YEARS of training time and felt completely disheartened by the results.  Until I learned this one thing that changed everything.  Listen in to find out what it is!

Welcome to The Sculpted Vegan podcast, where I, Kim Constable, share insights, stories, and strategies for achieving sustainable body transformation. When I launched my first 12-month program, skeptics said no one would pay $997, yet it generated over $2 million in two years. Contrary to quick-fix fitness trends, true transformation takes years, not weeks. I emphasize building muscle, which fuels metabolism and shapes the body. For women over 40, my brand new program addresses unique challenges like menopause. The Extreme Body Makeover Over 40 Program offers coaching, tailored nutrition, and a supportive community, ensuring success and offering a rare money-back guarantee. Join me in sculpting not just your body, but your mindset, too. https://www.thesculptedvegan.com/extreme-body-makeover-over-40/

In today's episode, we unravel the secrets behind mastering self-motivation for consistent workouts. Contrary to popular belief, sustaining motivation isn't about perpetual enthusiasm but rather cultivating habits. Drawing parallels between daily routines and exercise, we uncover the power of habit-building. Just as you reliably get up for work, creating a workout routine becomes second nature over time. The key lies in starting small, making it as easy as brushing your teeth. By setting minimal goals and gradually increasing complexity, you pave the way for sustainable progress. Join us as we navigate the journey from initial motivation to lasting habits, unlocking the path to transformative results.

In this episode, we delve into the crucial elements of nutrition, strength training, and cardio for effective fat loss. Contrary to popular belief, nutrition contributes a staggering 80% to fat-burning results, with cardio and strength training making up the remaining 20%. Through Kortney's transformative journey, we uncover the power of meal prepping in achieving remarkable results. While cardio has its benefits beyond fat burning, the debate between high and low-intensity workouts underscores the importance of consistency. Whether you opt for high or low intensity, the key is finding a routine you'll stick to. Join us as we navigate the intricacies of fat loss and uncover the secrets to sustainable results.

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of disordered eating, exploring the societal bias towards under-eating versus overeating. I share my journey as an under-eater, shaped by societal pressures and familial influences. I even dissect the pain scale of hunger versus weight gain, revealing the underlying motivations behind my dietary habits highlighting the importance of rewiring habits for long-term success. With insights on metabolism and hormonal changes, I offer practical strategies to combat menopausal weight gain, emphasizing the role of slow carbohydrates in achieving sustainable results. Join us as we navigate the intricate relationship between food, mindset, and body image.

In this episode, we explore the dynamics of motivation and change through personal experiences. Delving into the two types of motivation—toward pleasure and away from pain—we uncover why humans often resist change despite desiring it. I even share my own journey of dissatisfaction with my body and the pivotal moment that triggered real change. Reflecting on the pain scale, I reveal how the agony of staying the same outweighed the discomfort of transformation. I challenge you to confront your own motivations and embrace change when the pain of stagnation becomes unbearable.

Fast forward six years and The Sculpted Vegan is now the worlds, largest online vegan bodybuilding company, with an 8 figure turnover.  And I’m only just getting started!

However, many people are curious as to how I managed to build a global fitness empire from scratch, with no money, or following, whilst homeschooling my four young kids. 

In this episode, I go back to the beginning and tell you exactly how it started, and how I got to where I am today. I hope you enjoy it!

Why do we get excited about changing our body and potentially our lives, but then not follow through? Why do we fail? 

In the past, I have had my own share of failures. In fact, I still fail at things every single day. But then I also succeed every single day. So what is different between the times I succeed in the times I don’t? 

I have identified one thing that if you do consistently, every time you embark on a new goal, will guarantee your success. 

Want to know what it is? Listen in to find out.

Showing up when you say you’ll show up and building your inner word is what is necessary to go far.  If you can’t believe yourself and if you can’t trust that you’ll do what you say you’ll do, you have nothing.  The harsh truth is that motivation will get you going, discipline will keep you going. You must commit to seeking failure in your life and look for all the areas you’re limited and keep working to overcome them.  But most importantly, stop making promises to yourself that you don’t keep.  So how do you do it?  How do you transform?  Listen in to find out!

And it got me thinking. Human beings can endure the most incredible hardships when necessary.  Just ask any mother of a newborn baby who is on an endless cycle of sleepless nights, cracked nipples and emotional exhaustion. But yet she keeps fighting day after day and night after night, caring for her newborn. 

So what makes someone endure that kind of pain but not the pain of following through on a fitness program? The answer lies in knowing your why. 

When you know your why you will endure anyhow. Your why will quite simply help you find your way.  In this episode, I share my own journey of finding my why. And I hope after listening to it, you will also find your why. Because you are capable of great things, if you can just connect deeply to your reasons for doing it.

Years ago, when I first started my business and bodybuilding journey, which subsequently happened at the same time, I did not know the price I would have to pay to be successful.

And actually, I think if someone had of told me everything I would need to sacrifice for my success, I might just have decided not to bother.

The price of success in any endeavour is high. The more successful you get, the higher the price you pay.

But yet, what is the price of failure? What is the price of never going after what you want and giving it your best shot?

In this episode, I breakdown the exact steps you need to decide what you want and then go after it. 

I teach you how to look into the future and see the price you’ll have to pay, in order to be successful.

These strategies have worked for me time and time again, and I continue to use them every day when I start something new. 

I know if you apply them, they will work for you too. 

Please leave me a comment and let me know if you enjoyed this episode and what you got out of it. 

Cheers to your success!

In my life, I’m known as a risk taker. It can be scary to take risks, but risks force you outside your perceived comfort zone and make you really up your game. 

If you want to be extraordinary rather than ordinary, then mastering this one skill can completely transform how you do life. 

In this episode, I break down why it’s important to get outside your comfort zone and exactly how to do it.

What will it take for you to step up and be extraordinary? Let me know in the comments.

But not this very busy, award-winning professional Makeup Artist from Northern Ireland, Paddy McGurgan. 

When Covid struck, Paddy was faced with a sudden decision: either finally lose the weight he had been trying desperately to lose with little success, or he would likely die.

It was now or never. 

At over 400 lbs, with Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, on medications, and suddenly thrust into a dangerous pandemic that his body likely wouldn’t be able to handle, Paddy was out of excuses.

With the lockdowns taking his job and giving him much more free time (to his relief), Paddy finally had the time to focus on his health. And although the exhaustion tempted him at every turn, he quickly found a strategy that would help him lose over 140lbs and keep it off.

And it’s the complete opposite of what many people do in their fitness journeys.

Listen in as he candidly shares the turning point to his dramatic weight loss, the thing he knew that had to change if he was going to be successful, and how he does life 140lbs lighter!

We also discuss loose skin, cosmetic work, his gym routine, and his top tips for people just starting their weight loss journey who feel overwhelmed by the fear of failure.

You’re going to gush over this episode (and him)!

People use sex toys and lubes to help enhance their pleasure yet have no idea that what they’re using could completely destroy their sexual health and make sex anything BUT fun. 

From toys made of jelly to lubes with propylene glycol, most people don’t have a clue that what they’re putting in and around their most sensitive body parts (and even taking orally) could be contributing to things like:

• Thrush
• Itching 
• Bacterial infections
• Painful sex
• Irritation
• Dryness 

Even reaching orgasm can become downright impossible!

Sam Evans, co-founder of Jo Divine, a skin-safe and irritant-free sex toy company, is on the podcast today, giving us the juicy lowdown on sex toys, lubes, and how to have more pleasurable sex (especially after menopause).

A sexual health & pleasure expert, Sam has been featured all over radio, TV, and the press. With a professional background in nursing, Sam also advises women going through natural menopause, or due to medical or surgical treatment and post-cancer treatment, about ways to enjoy better sexual intimacy and pleasure.

She shares how she and her husband started Jo Divine and why it’s crucial for us to pay close attention to what our sex toys and lubes are made of!

She also talks about common ingredients to avoid (including one found in antifreeze that is in MANY popular lubricants), why you should be moisturizing your vagina, and so much more!

She’s even graciously extended a 10% discount for my followers, good for anything in her sex toy shop!

Sounds like a dream come true, right?

Maybe. But the long journey there was an actual nightmare. And for many, it would have caused them to give up.

Kerry is the founder & CEO of Babocush, the first-ever comfort cushion with a built-in heartbeat, vibration, and various angles for babies to safely and securely snuggle on their tummies in the same way they would on their mums.

But 19 years ago, when her colicky son Harry was born, she had no idea the hellish nightmare that lay ahead.

She was just a frazzled mum who initially wanted to help free her baby from constant pain and discomfort, and what she needed didn’t exist. So when she set out to create it, and her prototype actually worked, family and friends were begging to borrow it with equally shocking success.

What then seemed like an instant invention success became utter torment.

Listen in to hear how she overcame:

• the constant battles of going from concept to launch 
• the thing that nearly ruined her business while simultaneously making her a millionaire
• the horrendous accusations she endured that almost made her quit (& why she ultimately didn’t)
• ..and so much more!

Kerry has been through agony getting to where she is now. But you don’t have to. She’s now opening her VERY busy schedule to help you get your product launched without all the hell, time, and money she has spent launching hers.

QUOTES USED:

“Building a business is just like building a body—they both require discipline, consistency, and doing the same thing over and over and remaining patient.”

“I made a choice. No one is standing over me saying I have to do this. I choose to do this.”

“You have to want it with every fiber of your soul.”

If that wasn’t bad enough, she suffered from depression on top of it. She was in a constant battle between medications for her pain and fatigue, and medications to help her think and focus—none of which actually helped her. 

Doctors ignored her. 

Nobody could help her. 

So she decided to take things into her own hands. Feeling hopeless and on her deathbed, she went to the one thing she knew she could do immediately and have full control over—her diet. 

Her very drastic dietary measures shockingly worked, and within a couple months, all of her ailments completely disappeared, and she was off all of her medications. 

Listen in as she explains exactly how she’s able to follow such an extreme diet long-term and how she ultimately overcame a life of seemingly endless misery. 

She even shares her best tips for those struggling to make lasting lifestyle changes. 

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

QUOTES USED:

“I think in order to really change how you live, you have to get to a point where you’ll do anything for as long as it takes.”

“If those medications worked, autoimmune disorders wouldn’t be an issue. They don’t work.”

(Say what?)

One of the most common complaints I hear from women in menopause is that they didn’t change a thing, yet they suddenly started gaining fat at an uncontrollable pace!

And that’s exactly the problem. 

What happens in our body on a cellular level once we move towards menopause and beyond is far different from what happens in our younger years. So what used to work to keep us relatively lean back then, will no longer work. 

(But don’t despair. The changes you need to make are not as drastic as you may think.)

Bodybuilders are notorious for hacking their bodies to get to absurdly low levels of body fat. Although most menopausal women don’t care about getting quite that lean, the principles are actually the same!

(And don’t worry, the answer is not a zero-carb diet.)

In this episode, I’m giving you the low-down on exactly what you should be eating (and not eating) to keep your menopause fat gain at bay, and WHY.

I also share what I eat to keep myself lean year-round and the backstory behind how I became so obsessed with the human body (including why menopause is a recent hot topic in the Sculpted Vegan community).

You will really love this one!

-belly fat gain (UGH!)

-night sweats/hot flashes

-mood swings

The list goes on!

And for women who haven’t yet entered menopause, it can be especially terrifying wondering how their own bodies are going to respond. After all, it’s not often we hear about how beautiful this phase of our lives can really be.

But I’m making it my mission to change all of that.

I’m a firm believer that the more knowledge we have about menopause and how our bodies change before, during, and after it, the better and more beautiful our experience will be. Armed with the proper tools, I really believe all women are in far better control of how their bodies will respond in this part of their lives. Yes, the hormonal cascade is inevitable, but the symptoms that so many women endure don’t have to be!

In this episode, I’m tackling one of women's biggest fears over menopause: belly fat gain! I divulge the exact reasons most women gain weight even before they technically hit menopause, which foods to avoid to ensure your sexiest midsection, and the precise macronutrient ratio to aim for so you’re able to still burn fat despite the hormonal changes.

I also give you 3 steps you can implement right away, whether you’re peri- or post-menopausal, to ensure you’re on the right track to your hottest, healthiest, and strongest menopausal body!

This episode is packed to the brim, so get ready!

QUOTES USED:

“Menopause causes a metabolic shift in the way your fat is distributed.”

“I just love the human body. I think if we could just understand the human body more, we could have so much more control over our lives, health, fitness, and fat gain!”

“The main reason your body stores fat in menopause is because it becomes insulin resistant—a result of a drop in sex hormones.”

What if it was something that caused you short-term discomfort? Would you still do it?

The truth is, most people run from discomfort. Our brains are wired to seek familiarity, comfort, and predictability. 

Why then, would anyone purposely put themselves in uncomfortable, scary, or even painful situations? 

Well, instead of me telling you the answer to that, I will let my podcast guest, Wim Hof tell you!

I am beyond ecstatic to have had this interview with him! The man is absolutely brilliant—so full of energy, wisdom, and charisma. 

For those who may not know, Wim is a Dutch extreme athlete who got his nickname 'The Iceman' by breaking a number of records related to cold exposure, like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle barefoot, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes.

(Dear God!)

Achievements like these require a massive amount of discipline, determination, and skill. Wim has developed his own method for enabling him to achieve these extraordinary feats and has dedicated his life to teaching others how to master it for their own health benefits.

In this episode, Wim explains exactly how to accomplish all this and more. He even guides you through his ice bath challenge by teaching you how to focus on your breathing to get through it in the fastest 40 seconds of your life.

I even took on the challenge myself  (watch for that video on my IG!), and I strongly encourage you to do it too! Why? Because the benefits of cold exposure on the symptoms of mental illness are profound, and what a way to bring awareness to such a great cause.

And to sweeten the deal, if you post your ice bath challenge video and tag Wim and me so we can see it (with the hashtag #freezehof), you will get a Sculpted Vegan program of your choice for FREE! 

You’re really going to be blown away by this episode! Can’t wait to hear what you think and see all your Freezehof challenge videos!

With the launch of my new menopause program and community coming up soon, I decided to hand my podcast over AGAIN (since you all loved it so much last week). Head Trainer Laura Hutchinson took the reins on this week’s podcast, and she does not disappoint!

Laura has been in the menopause research realm for many years. We’ve both had our heads in the sand TOGETHER for the last year because of our soon-to-be-launched programs, and let me tell you, Laura knows her sh*t.

And quite frankly?

We’re over the silence that has been deafening menopausal women. It’s time to get real about one of the most natural occurrences all women will ever experience.

So when I asked Laura if she wanted to take over my podcast and talk all things menopause, she of course squealed in delight! So listen closely as she gets down and dirty with:

• what menopause is
• different cultural beliefs around menopause
• most common symptoms
• average age that menopause strikes
• ..and loads more!

She even discusses vaginal dryness + some ways to help it, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and shares an old menopause myth that I bet will shock you!

Enjoy this fabulous episode!

Today’s episode is with Coach Vanessa Burgess! Vanessa has been with the Sculpted Vegan team for several years, and is one of my most experienced coaches! She has done nearly every program I’ve ever created, and has learned so much in the years she’s been with the team. When she first started her SV journey in January 2019, she was breastfeeding 3 babies, working 4 jobs from home, and doing the original 4-Week Shred all at the same time. She has consistently stayed the course, listened to feedback, implemented things she was terrified of (like eating thousands of calories a day to build muscle), and has reaped the rewards ten-fold.

So I sent her into the streets (a.k.a Butt Camp FB group) to ask the competitors what they’re dying to know about all things mindset, health, and fitness so she could answer them live on the podcast!

In this episode, Vanessa gets reeeeal! She actually had an epiphany in real-time when discussing some tips on crushing self-sabotage. She dug into how she personally rewires her brain to send her excuses packin’, tips on building muscle when you don’t have access to the big fancy gym equipment, the truth behind fat gain if you eat before bed, and so much more!

Below are today’s questions:

1:21 Can you please help us with some self-sabotage strategies, like how to overcome self-sabotage?

33:45 What is your favorite quad exercise (small home gym with some machines, but not all the fancy guys)?

35:25 Do you push to failure on each body part in every set? Or do you keep 1-2 reps in reserve at certain times?

38:00 How much of an importance does food timing play?

40:57 Best tips for staying motivated when you’re not seeing physical changes?

51:45 Can you debunk the myth around not eating before bed?

I know you will absolutely love this episode! Happy listening!

QUOTES USED:

“I don’t care what questions you ask. I don’t care what you need in life. You’re not going to get anything accomplished if you’re not first honest with yourself.”

“It takes more work than you could ever possibly dream of to see your body change.”

In the health and fitness space especially, this can wreak havoc in our lives. 

I can’t think of anyone better to delve more into this, than Mind Pump Podcast host and personal trainer, Sal Di Stefano!

Sal fell in love with fitness at an early age. He would research the chemistry behind supplements at age 14! He was quite a skinny teenager and used fitness as a way to boost his confidence in his body. He devoured every health and fitness publication and book out there in pursuit of muscle. Then one day, something happened to him that changed his trajectory. His health took a very bad turn (despite feeling like the pillar of fitness for many years).

Listen in as he candidly shares his personal health struggles, and how they changed his entire view on health and fitness. He was forced to take a hard look in the mirror at his relentless pursuit of the perfect body and realized something needed to change—and fast.

He also digs into the difference between discipline and motivation, and how only one of those is responsible for your ultimate success.

Enjoy this thoroughly!

QUOTES USED:

“If you focus on your health, you WILL look good. Healthy looks good!”

“It’s easy to lose the first 30 lbs, but keeping it off? That’s the hard part.”

“We don’t have a weight loss issue in modern society; we have a keep-weight-off issue.”

“Motivation will get you going. Discipline will keep you going.”

“The amount of training volume and intensity that is required to build muscle, you need 1/9th  of that to maintain it.”

“Life is a journey, not a destination.”

And we already know (don’t we?) that over-exposure to harmful UV rays can damage our skin to the point of adding years to how we look (sorry, tanning bed lovers) or worse.

So how do we get that gorgeous, just-got-back-from-an-island-vacation glow while keeping our skin healthy, supple, and looking years younger?

Well, who better to answer this question than Lynsey Bennett, founder of Lusso Tan! You may know her from the many times I’ve raved about her unique self-tanning products, so I was ecstatic to bring her on the podcast today!

Lynsey brings nearly 15 years of experience working as a skincare expert, combining her extensive skincare knowledge with her love of tanning to bring sunless tanning to a whole new, shocking level.

With the brand spankin’ new Butt Camp 2.0 competition starting Monday, I thought this would be a perfect time for Lynsey to teach us everything she knows about applying the perfect self-tan in a way that not only makes you look leaner but hides imperfections and makes you look years younger.

Listen in as she details a step-by-step ritual for getting the best-looking tan every single time, how to make your tan last longer, what body parts to AVOID, and so much more!

You are going to love this episode!

QUOTES USED:

“There’s never too early an age to start with good skincare.”

Many people think that as long as they show up (to their workouts) and put in a bit of effort, that this is enough to stimulate a change in their bodies. Or they don’t truly understand the number of calories they need for their goals or what true failure feels like in the final reps of your final sets. One of the most shocking things about Mark is his approach to body change. When you look at all of his 275lbs of pure muscle, you’d never guess that he built his body by only going to the gym 4 days a week for 45-minute sessions.

Mark’s approach to training and eating is so shocking that every time I have him as a guest on my podcast, I get hundreds of messages from people whose minds have been blown by listening to him. So, of course, I had to bring him back on for another episode!

Listen in as he dishes everything he knows about building muscle and shredding, how he feels about tracking macros, “deload” weeks, and what he prioritizes in the gym: intensity or volume. He also gets real about anabolic steroids (do you think he takes them?), vitamins, mindset, and whether or not you should even be doing cardio!

Warning: this episode may light a fire under your ass!

The live trainings blew everyone’s socks off - so I decided to bundle them all up into daily podcasts all week long!

Here’s the schedule:

Day 1 - The reason you’ve failed to successfully diet (and keep the fat off) in the past. Without this knowledge, YOU WILL FAIL.

Day 2 - The system that all pro stage athletes use to ensure they are ripped to the bone in record time. (Hardly anyone outside the industry knows this - but now YOU will!)

Day 3 - The exact formula you need to get shredded in record time that is tailored to your body and your goals. These are the secrets bodybuilders have known for years, now yours for the taking.

Day 4 - How to gain complete clarity on what you’re doing now that is SABOTAGING your results (and you probably don’t even know it!).

Day 5 (TODAY!) - Create your 4-week shred plan that actually WORKS (this plan is unique to you, and the only way you can fail is NOT to follow it!)

(Like juggling your career, your family, the non-stop schedules, the homework, the cooking, the cleaning, the midnight feedings...with little to no help! And don’t you even think about sitting your kids down in front of the TV while you take a moment to yourself.)

All of these impossible standards are making mums crazy! They are blaming themselves and feeling like sh*t parents, when the reality is, they weren’t meant to handle all of this alone. This isn’t the way motherhood is supposed to be.

You’ve likely heard the common phrase, “It takes a village…” but where the hell IS the village?

In this episode, I interviewed the lovely Jen Fulwiler—best-selling author, stand up comic, and mum of 6 kids! We dished all about the struggles of modern parenting and how utterly insane expectations are these days. She gave some great tips on how to survive parenting, including how to hire help when you don’t have any money so that you can relieve some of the pressure of being a mum without your village.

I really hope this episode brings you the peace and calmness you deserve in your parenting journey.

“If you feel like your brain is melting after minute 2 of playing shapes and colors with your 2 year old, that’s because women in human history never did this! The other kids in the village would entertain your kids!”

“If I can just say at the end of my career, that I got a few more moms to stop blaming themselves, to stop thinking that the problem is you, and realize that the problem is that you are living in very unnatural circumstances, then I feel like that’s a success.”

From banishing “mum tum” to staying on track the day after drinking to how to keep your boobs from withering away (& everything in between), I really let ‘er rip in this episode!

I loved that I got the chance to delve into yet another hot topic in the industry: intermittent fasting (IF)! This diet protocol is so prevalent in so many fitness circles, but how do you know if it’s just another fad or if it’s really the answer to your prayers?

And not only that but what does IF do to your metabolism anyway?

I also discuss menopause and fat loss (be on the lookout for our brand-spankin’ new Menopause program coming out in early 2022!), as well as how to boost your metabolism in the morning and so much more.

Plus, I divulge a bit about our upcoming clothing line (yeah, baby!)

Here are today’s questions:

00:30 Did you have any loose skin on your tummy after kids? If so, how did you get rid of it?

9:35 How do you recover from a night of drinking and get back on track?

17:43 How close are you to your clothes [clothing] line being done?  

20:30 Thoughts on intermittent fasting for strength?

28:57 What am I supposed to eat to get a fast metabolism in the morning?

31:53 What are your thoughts on body part splits? 

37:50 If you train in the morning, would you suggest taking protein powder before or after the workout?

38:43 How do you maintain a natural chest and not lose the girls?

40:07 Any advice for those of us going through menopause? I am struggling to lose weight even though I measure everything.

49:00 Is there a maximum amount of supplements you should take?

53:41 Favorite vegan protein?

Don’t forget to join me live for our very last one!

This was another really fun episode, filled to the brim with the juiciest and most popular questions! 

In the fitness industry, there are quite a few controversial & popular topics. In the previous episode, I discussed one of them: steroid use amongst bodybuilders (definitely go check that out if you haven’t yet).

In this episode, I tackle another popular one: FAT BURNERS! Not only do I give you the scoop on the two different types of fat burners that are out there, but I also tell you my absolute favorites (including one that isn’t even known to be a fat burner in the traditional sense) and how to take them safely.

I also give you a little-known tip for shuttling more nutrients into the muscles instead of being stored as fat, how to squat for bigger legs, how to know when to increase calories during a build, and soooo much more! 

You are really going to love how much I packed into this episode!

“Never save energy on an exercise. You go to failure on your final set of an exercise!”

“A lot of people want to have the rectus abdominis, the six-pack on the front of the body. But those abs are completely useless in terms of keeping your body healthy. The only thing the rectus abdominis muscles are good for is breathing—they just move your diaphragm in and out.”

QUOTES USED:

“6 years ago, I had nothing. And in 6 years, I changed my body,  made over 10 million dollars, and improved my relationship with my husband and my family. Bodybuilding has given me a purpose and a passion.”

“Don’t ever think that just because you only have a little dream that it won’t turn into a bigger dream.

When I think back to my competing days, many of those memories are very dark. I will never forget those cardio sessions, especially towards the end, where I was starving, exhausted, and going utterly insane.

I had to find a way to get through each cardio session without wanting to quit entirely. I would watch one of my favorite bikini idols, Angelica Teixiera, and her videos would literally give me life and motivate me to keep pushing. I wouldn’t feel so alone - like someone else understood the darkness I was experiencing.

Little did she know how many times she has saved me from that internal chaos.

...until I brought her on my podcast and told her in person!

I am so excited to share this episode with you. Angelica is a 2x Ms. Olympia titleholder and 4x Arnold Champion (among many other titles). She knows firsthand what it means to withstand the immense pressure brought on by the competitive bodybuilding world. In fact, it took her 20 shows before she earned her pro card — talk about persevering and never quitting. She is the epitome of grit and determination!

Listen in as she opens up about life as a bikini competitor, how she got started, how she really feels about dieting for shows, and what her future plans are.

Oh, and she also shares something extra juicy I know you all will love — her absolute favorite glute-building exercise (Brazilians are known for their gorgeous glutes after all. Am I right?) — and it’s not what you think!

This is only the tip of the iceberg of what science shows us about a plant-based diet, and it’s the exact opposite of what most people are hearing.

In today’s podcast episode — the one we’ve ALL been waiting for — I had the pleasure of talking about science and the behavioral psychology surrounding a plant-based diet with James Wilks.

James is the producer and narrator of The Game Changers, the most-viewed documentary of all time, showcasing the dramatic rise of plant-based eating in professional sports! 

(He is best known for winning Season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter and serves as a combatives trainer for government agencies, including the US Marshals, US Marines, and US Navy SEALs. Holy hell, right?)

He spent over 7 years researching everything there was to know about a plant-based diet, and let me tell you, it shows! He is brilliant and shared some shocking information that I know you will LOVE.

(My husband went fully plant-based after watching this documentary. It is mind-blowing!)

Find out what happened to him that ended up being a catalyst towards his research for this movie. You are going to love not only his story but also the way he presents the literature.

I know you will thoroughly enjoy this episode!!

“The world needs more people who are willing to stand up for something good and true and right.”

I can’t tell you how much I love doing these free trainings, and I always get a bit sad on the last one.

I hope you’ve found immense value in this training series! In the previous episode, you learned a very specific equation for making $50,000 in your first launch!

Now I’m going to raise the bar for our final training episode and show you how to scale to $1 million in 12 months!! You will learn how to invest in your business, the importance of how you treat your staff, and why you need more than one product if you want to scale.

Step 1:  Invest in the best.

Step 2:  Start with one product, but expand quickly as soon as it’s working.

Step 3:  Look for problems you can solve.

Step 4:  Be deeply interested in people.

Step 5:  Find good staff and treat them well.

If you’ve missed any of the previous 4 episodes, make sure you go back and listen to those before you press play on this final EPIC training episode!

This has been a fabulous week, and I am so honored to be able to bring you such valuable information. I hope you loved it as much as I loved teaching it.

If you would like to find out more about the coaching options we have available through The Million Dollar Mentor, click here.

In the last 3 episodes, you’ve learned not only how to create a product people really want to buy, but also how to deliver the solution, and then sell it!

You’ve heard examples of ad strategies, webinars I’ve done in my businesses and how much we made, and you’ve learned about the strategy canvases of other businesses.

In today’s training, you’re going to get a shocking math lesson. I’m giving you the exact calculations to ensure you make $50,000 in your first launch (say whaaaat!?)

Step 1:  Understand the 2 in 10 rule (Pareto’s Law).

Step 2:  Reverse engineer your numbers.

Step 3:  Spend only what you can afford to lose.

You definitely want to be paying extra close attention to this episode!

Love Kim xo

In the previous episode, you learned all about creating and delivering your product. We discussed strategies of other businesses, and why it’s important to think more about what the customer needs rather than what he or she wants.

You also learned exactly what customers are looking for, and why doing more can actually hurt them.

In today’s training, you’re going to learn how to sell your product! 

Step 1:  Decide on a sales mechanism.

Step 2:  Look outside the industry for inspiration.

Step 3:  You don’t need more products - you need more eyeballs on your product.

Don’t forget your method for taking notes because this is another extremely valuable lesson today!

Love Kim xo

In the previous podcast episode, you learned how to create a product people want to buy. 

You learned 3 valuable lessons in not only creating your business and product or service, but how important it is to practice empathy for what your audience is struggling with.

In today’s training, you’re going to learn the exact 3-step process for delivering the solution to your customer.

Step 1:  How will you create and deliver the product?

Step 2:  Don’t think about what the customer wants; think about what they need. 

Step 3:  Make it simple, if not simpler.  Less is always more.  

Get ready to take more notes! This episode is packed with juicy info that you don’t want to miss!

Love Kim xo

And I am giving you access to all 5 of the recordings on this podcast!

Each day you’re going to learn a specific strategy for turning your idea or dream into a multimillion-dollar empire.

This training is going to blow your mind.

(Grab something to take notes with!) 

Humans are problem solvers. We are driven to be comfortable, and we want to solve any problem that makes us feel uncomfortable.  When we are creating a product, we must be solving a very specific problem for people.

In today’s training, you will learn 3 valuable lessons:

Lesson 1: Don’t create a business to make money.

Lesson 2:  Create a business that solves a specific problem.

Lesson 3:  Practice deep empathy because people don’t buy prevention. They buy a cure.

Hope you love this training as much as I loved teaching it!

Love, Kim xo

This actually only happens when we are in a job we don’t like that isn’t fulfilling. 

I have been getting ready for the re-launch of The Million Dollar Mentor. I created a free 5-day training, and in the group, I asked what everyone wanted — what they truly wanted out of life. And you know what the overwhelming majority said? They want to earn more money while working less. This isn’t shocking, right? It seems that everyone wants this. And I used to be the same.

Until I grew into a multimillion-dollar brand and realized that the more money I make, the more I work. And that I actually prefer this because my purpose in life is being met through my work! It took me years of doing more work than I’d ever done in my life to reach the point I’m at now and let me tell you — I work even more now.

But I’m able to do more of the things I love because of the hard work I do, and that is the key. You have to be willing to work harder than you’ve ever done before. We don’t want to work less — we want the freedom to do the things we love!

Listen to the massive wake-up call I had right before the launch of Buns & Guns that catapulted me back into the driver’s seat and back in control of my happiness and my quest for fulfilling my life’s purpose.

You definitely don’t want to miss this!

QUOTES USED:

“Most people don’t want to work less. They want freedom.”

“When you’re working hard at something that you love, that IS freedom.”

“Humans don’t lack happiness; they lack purpose.”

How you do one thing is how you do everything. Most people prefer to stay within their comfort zone because it’s familiar. This makes sense, right? Who the hell would purposely chase discomfort and unfamiliarity? Well, I’ll tell you who—successful people. People who are successful (or are on the path to success) have this in common. They aren’t afraid to take risks. They aren’t afraid to push themselves. They wake up earlier than everyone else. They show up, do the work, and don’t complain about it. They are this way in the gym. They are this way in their career or business life. And, if they were lucky enough in their childhood, this was taught to them by their parents so that it felt natural to them well into adulthood.

The problem is, most people are not this way. And for most people, that’s okay! I’m not saying these are necessary qualities for every human to have. But if you desire something bigger, something better, something more meaningful in any area of your life, you need to learn the skill of chasing discomfort and pushing yourself outside your comfort zone consistently so that you can make it happen. 

Nobody is coming to save you. Build what you want yourself — whether that’s your body, business, family, or literally anything else. 

In this episode, you’ll hear not only how I learned this valuable lesson myself but how I was able to instill it into my 4 children.

Everything you want is on the other side of discomfort. Will you go there?

You will love this one!

QUOTES USED:

“It’s not the SYSTEM that makes you successful — it’s what you have on the inside.”

“You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. You have to seek discomfort!”

‘Everything you want is on the other side of discomfort.”

Pretty bold statement, right? But it’s true. The process it takes to change your body is the same as the process it takes to make a million dollars. And I know this because I’ve done both. And let me tell you: neither one is fast or easy.

So why do we get frustrated when our bodies don’t change as fast as we think they should? Why do we focus on our cellulite, compare our dimply skin to someone else’s smooth skin, and then beat ourselves up because the cellulite isn’t going away despite “doing everything possible”?

It’s because we have no real sense of reality. Many women come through my programs and expect to erase years—often decades—of abuse to their bodies in a few short weeks. What has taken years and years of bodily neglect to obtain (excess stomach fat, cellulite, etc.) can’t possibly be fixed overnight. It takes years of consistent, focused effort doing all the right things day in and day out, even when you’re exhausted, fed up, and honestly sick of waiting.

You keep going. You never quit. It has taken me 5 damn years to get rid of my cellulite and build an ass I’m truly proud of. And that’s with my starting point already being in a decent place! Getting rid of cellulite is not easy. Building a beautiful set of glutes is not easy. Making a million dollars is not easy.

What does it actually take? Listen to the specific strategies you can start implementing NOW to get rid of your cellulite, build your dream body, make a million dollars, or do whatever you damn well want—because these strategies apply to any goal you will ever have.

“Commit to doing whatever it takes to get there. Do not give up!”

The most epic shred I’ve ever created, Buns & Guns, has just launched, and the competition begins in a couple of days (May 24th, 2021). The cash prizes total $41, 500 which is the biggest cash fund I’ve ever offered. Naturally, this makes people lose their marbles. They all hyperfocus on manipulating as many external (and irrelevant) variables as possible so that their results are good enough to win: are we using UK or US cups? What exact time should I have my protein shake if I’m at work and can only take one break per shift? Can I use a different brand of protein powder? What if I can’t do deadlifts because of a back injury? Will my results suffer? How many ml in a US cup, and what if I can’t find US cups to measure with for this recipe?” etc...

And let me be the first to say I get it. I truly do because I’m the same damn way. I love to control many aspects of my environment because I’m a control freak. 

But here’s a secret: it’s not at all realistic, and these little details don’t matter. The more we try to control these variables, the more stress we place on ourselves and the worse off we are. 

And another secret? The winners of my programs are the ones who DO NOT do this. In fact, they do the opposite of this. You’ll hear in this episode how past winners tackled my previous shreds—what they did, what they avoided, and how they were able to land in the top .01% of everyone who has ever purchased a Sculpted Vegan shred program.

You are going to love this one!

As a former skinny yoga teacher, I dreamed of the day I’d have a round, juicy butt and huge legs. But yoga was definitely not the way to do it. So when I decided to get my ass in the gym and start training with my first personal trainer, Curtis, I was on a mission to grow the biggest glutes and legs I could possibly grow.

Except I was doing it ALL wrong.

I would position myself under the free bar week after week, month after month, trying my hardest to increase the load and increase my size.

But my back couldn’t handle it.

It hurt like a b*tch to squat under that free bar! All my years of yoga left me with very weak glute muscles because the types of squats you do in yoga don’t require much glute activation. Because of this, my lower back would pick up the slack of what my glutes should have been doing when I would break parallel and go deep (though I didn’t realize this at the time).

My efforts were not matching my results. I wasn’t getting bigger! Instead, I was just constantly in pain, and my weak glutes were making it impossible to increase my load in the gym. After loads of researching, I realized what was causing my back pain. I became obsessed with building my glutes so that I could alleviate the pain and push some heavier weight so I could grow. 

As you’ll hear in this week’s episode, a strange turn of events happened with my friend Emma that changed the course of my entire bodybuilding career. Listen to what changes I made in the gym that not only massively strengthened my glutes and my lower back, but turned my quads into melon crushers faster than I ever thought possible.

This may shock you!

A young girl growing up in a safe environment on a small Greek island, where her parents praised doing things safely and only chasing a job that was guaranteed to secure her future, Maria Hatzistefanis knew she wanted to impact others in a unique way.

Her childhood was never extravagant or luxurious. Her parents were teachers, and they all lived a very low-key and quiet lifestyle.

Then one day (in her 20s), something happened that took Maria off the “expected” path and thrust her into the entrepreneurial world unexpectedly…

She got fired from her first big job.

And she says it was the best thing that ever happened to her.

Maria decided to start her own business, Rodial, a potent and unique skincare brand (she even has a vegan line + uses a shocking special ingredient that mimics Botox)!

She is now a London-based entrepreneur, best-selling author, TV personality, and podcaster!

I was so thrilled when she agreed to be on the podcast. She talks about her life before she made it big, how she actually almost went bankrupt a few years ago, and she spills her dirty little skincare secrets (you will totally love these)!

She also gives the most epic advice for aspiring entrepreneurs that I LOVE.

You’re going to flip over this interview! Don’t forget to check out her amazing skincare line, linked below (I’m even buying some myself!)

Happy listening!

QUOTES USED:

“The journey of every entrepreneur is never straight.”

“If you want to be successful, you have to study the people who are doing it really well and learn from them.”

If you’ve ever paid close attention to how people talk to each other, nobody is actually listening. It’s just a game of right vs. wrong where the “listener” is just waiting for the other person to stop talking so they can talk again. 

This is not listening. It’s not even effective communication.

Listening and communication are skills that need to be developed—skills that many adults don’t ever end up mastering.

This gets compounded when we become parents. If we haven’t learned how to effectively communicate by the time we have children, we then make it damn near impossible for our children to learn and master these skills. It becomes a vicious cycle that makes relationships exhausting and hard.

You’ve heard me discuss how many of our issues actually stem from our childhood. This is no different. 

As a child, I grew up in a very authoritarian household. My parents were my parents, not my friends. We were spanked, shouted at, and punished — we even had a naughty step and went to a boarding school. I never felt understood or listened to. I spent much of my childhood rebelling and doing whatever I could to be the exact opposite of my parents (which is actually what most children do when their parents aren’t effective communicators).

I craved acceptance and individuality but didn’t receive those things from my parents. But I vowed to be the total opposite of them and have spent my entire adult life seeking and learning how to do better, especially for my own kids.

I have never punished my children. They’ve never been shamed, shouted at, talked down to, or suppressed. I ask them questions and nurture their individuality. I teach them how to seek answers for themselves. 

And most importantly? I accept them for who they are, and they know and feel that every single day.

If every parent can learn these important skills, we will witness a massive transformation in future generations.

In this podcast, I will teach you exactly how to listen so your kids will talk and talk so your kids will listen. And in turn, your kids will have the healthiest, most fulfilling relationships at every level.

Listen closely as I share the following strategies (and examples) that you can implement immediately in all of your relationships. But know this: it’s not enough for you to simply listen and read these strategies. You must actively apply them in your life every chance you get. 

Strategies to have a better relationship with your kids:

1. Use “It seems/sounds like…” questions to establish what they want.
2. Ask “why” questions.
3. Ask, “What would be the downside if you didn’t get it?” (this identifies the REAL problem)
4. Ask, “Why do you need it to be that way?” (this establishes the emotional attachment)

I really hope you enjoy this episode!

QUOTES USED:

“Whenever we punish and control our children, we teach them that a part of themselves is bad, so then they fragment themselves into two different people.”

“Children are not stupid. They know that the reason we’re trying to control them is to make our lives easier.”

“ Kids will fight to the death for you to hear them.”

“If you learn to communicate better with your child, you will model communication skills for them, and they will naturally learn how to do conflict-resolution, ask for what they want, how to negotiate, and how to have conversations without fighting.”

Stop letting yourself off the hook.

Too often, we fall victim to excuses, and these excuses become the way we do everything in our life. They become the habitual reasons we never reach our full potential, and yet most of us never realize we are the cause...or the solution.

Over the last few years, more and more people are jumping into the entrepreneurial life, but something is happening in the process—they’re letting themselves off the hook. They’re not showing up for themselves. They’re getting wrapped up in their emotions and doing all the wrong things that are ultimately leading to the demise of their business. 

So I decided to interview Alex Charfen, co-founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar business, to get to the root of why most people are struggling with entrepreneurship.

It ended up being quite an emotional podcast.

Alex may be a multi-millionaire now, but he has struggled throughout his life and has even experienced bankruptcy.

As a kid, he had a difficult time fitting in. He was made fun of, mocked, and constantly judged (by kids and adults alike). He was the weird kid with massive self-awareness, always getting in trouble and constantly switching between the gifted classes and the special education classes, never knowing where he belonged. He spent much of his childhood surrounded by powerful women who supported each other emotionally. As a result, he developed an incredibly influential level of empathy, which I deem his superpower. 

He has used his superpower to go from bankrupt to being on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing companies in the country three years in a row and won many other awards. Now, his mission is to help other entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses just like he did.

In this interview, he talks candidly about his struggles growing up and how he’s now using these experiences to make millions of dollars helping people. And you might be surprised to learn how he’s done it.

You will hear him talk about: 

• Why he’s no longer unschooling his kids (I absolutely loved this)
• How his unique childhood experiences formed his massive level of empathy 
• How top-down pressure can destroy your team/business
• How entrepreneurs are failing and how they should be running their business
• How masculine and feminine energy can work synergistically to explode your business and make you millions
• What’s missing in women-owned businesses that could be the one catalyst to their massive success
• Why we say businesses are becoming more powerful than governments

You are going to really love hearing Alex share his heart and passion.

We recently finished our last Butt Camp competition, and the final results were mind-blowing, but they didn’t come without nay-sayers and loads of confusion from people who don’t understand what goes into extreme physique change.

My programs require 110% focus, determination, and discipline—to the point where only about 10% even finish them. Understandably, those who don’t have any background in body sculpting often question the final results because they’re so unbelievable. So I decided to interview my very own trainer, Mark Getty (the head judge in Butt Camp), to shed some light on exactly what it takes to sculpt results so mind0blowing that people not only question whether you’ve altered your pictures, but want to know how the hell you did it.

Why Mark?

Mark is a world-renowned champion heavyweight bodybuilder who has placed in the top 3 in his category over 100 times and holds 48 titles (both amateur and pro)! He knows more about physique change than almost anyone else and drops some big truth bombs in this interview that you can’t miss.

He talks about:

• What to do if you don’t have a spotter
• How to go to failure even if you’re a beginner (and what failure really is)
• The most important equipment for your home gym
• Photoshoot tips that can take your photos from second place to first place
• How to transition out of a shred without gaining all the weight back
• His EPIC breathing advice for getting through the reps (this is great)
• ...and so much more fantastic advice that you need to hear!

You will also hear about his experience in the last few weeks going plant-based for the first time! You are going to LOVE this episode.

QUOTES USED:

“One thing people can’t cheat is hard work.”

“Every time you leave the gym, ask yourself: Could I have done more?”

“Learning is all about making mistakes, and hopefully, you don’t make the same one twice.”

“The guys that work the hardest always prevail.”

Did you know that whether you are happy or whether you feel like a victim, those are choices you can make?

About 18 months ago, I met my wonderful podcast guest, Meaghan B. Murphy. We were both at a big media event (where I was on stage pitching to speakers, she being one of them), and afterwards, I wrote to her and thanked her for her feedback and critique.

We have stayed in touch ever since, and I was so excited to finally have her on the podcast because her story is absolutely incredible.

Meaghan is the author of Your Fully Charged Life - where she shares her best tips & tricks for having endless energy and happiness. She is a longtime magazine editor, writer, on-air personality expert, podcaster, and certified trainer (wow!).

But, she had a very tough childhood before all that. Growing up, her nickname was “Grumpy” because she was always so miserable and negative. Her teen years were no different as she found herself a raging anorexic to cover up the inner negative turmoil in her head.

Her anorexia got so bad that she was admitted to the hospital. Her best friend (also an anorexic) was on her way to the same hospital when she jumped from the car and died.

Tormented by her friend’s death, Meaghan struggled for many years. But she eventually decided that her mess would become her message.

As you listen, you will hear:

• Her biggest failure + what she learned from it
• What PERMA Theory is and how it relates to your ability to flourish and be happy
• One super simple (+ tiny) step you can take tomorrow morning that will noticeably move your happiness needle
• How she found her sole purpose in life
• How to eliminate your lack of motivation with 2 simple things

Look, life will throw you a sh*tty hand at some point (probably more than once). Making the choice to be happy regardless of that? That is a skill very few people ever learn in life. 

It won’t mean your life will be perfect, but it sure as hell will allow you to flourish despite the chaos.

And that is something we all deserve.

Hope you love this as much as I did!

QUOTES USED:

“Happiness is not a passive state of being. It’s an active state of doing.”

“The only way through is onward.”

So many of us are living our lives to make everyone around us think we are someone we’re not. We don’t do this on purpose to be deceptive; there is a deeply-ingrained need to seek the approval of everyone around us so that we feel safe and comfortable.

But have you ever thought about why we gravitate towards comfort? Why is it that most people stay stagnant in life and never see real growth or success?

We’re living in a world where we have vilified discomfort. We give everyone a participation trophy, so they don’t feel bummed, stop our children from crying or feeling strong emotions, worry about offending people (thereby stifling ourselves), and create habits of convenience because the alternative is hard.

I finally had a chance to sit down and interview one of the funniest and most amazing people ever, JP Sears (the episode you all have been dying to hear!). We talk about how chasing discomfort is actually the key to success.

An insanely talented comedian, he is probably best-known for his sarcastic sense of humor. He often focuses on real-world issues, like Coronavirus, politics, and even gluten intolerance issues (you will hear about this in the episode!). He throws unexpected twists into the humor that many people don’t appreciate (one of the many reasons I love him).

His comedy is designed to get people to cut the scar tissue that binds them and think for themselves. It’s never about the surface-level topic you are listening to; it’s about the underpinnings of human behavior.

We draw some surprising parallels with our childhoods and how we are now as parents (he is a new dad to an adorable little boy!)

As you listen, you will hear some deep stuff, including:

• The deeper meaning behind him chasing discomfort 
• Why he thinks people’s avoidance of discomfort is the root of their unhappiness
• The core values he hopes to instill in his son
• What he thinks is missing the most in the world
• His definition of evil and which emotion leads us to its effect
• The dumbest advice he has ever given himself
• False measurements of success and how they can destroy our children
• ...and so much more powerful stuff

This interview truly hit me so profoundly, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

(That’s actually not a bad thing.)

They dream of having enough money to live in total financial freedom, but when the reality strikes, and it’s time to toe the line, they fall short.

Why does this happen?

I had the honor of interviewing John Lee Dumas, founder & host of Entrepreneurs On Fire, who boldly answers this question and many more.

John was an active-duty officer in the U.S. Army (spending time in a war zone in Iraq), where he developed an insane level of discipline and mental fortitude at quite a young age. He is definitely no stranger to overcoming challenges that seem impossible and uses those skills strategically in his business.

In this episode, he discusses his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment, in which he lays out a 17-step roadmap to unlocking your greatest potential and creating a life of total fulfillment.

(He even talks about some of those steps during the interview—one of which will blow your damn mind!) 

John has identified the common foundational principles successful entrepreneurs share that allow them to achieve uncommon success, and he dives deep into some of these in our interview. 

He also boldly goes where not many people are willing to go, and that is bringing to light that not everyone has what it takes to be an entrepreneur and how that isn’t a bad thing!

As you listen to this incredible interview, you will learn:

• The importance of the “Zone of Fire” and how to identify yours
• How being a “challenger” can help you reach massive success
• What 3 specific things John Lee has done better than most entrepreneurs 
• The one thing that I attribute to my own high efficiency
• My #1 goal in life (this might even shock you) 
• What John thinks about the idea that money cannot buy happiness
• John acronym for F.O.C.U.S (this is fantastic)

He also shares how he generated $100,000+ net profit for 90 months in a row (which you can learn about in more detail in his book, which is now available for pre-order).

I can’t wait for you to hear this!

It seems that there are certain fixes that women do to themselves that are entirely acceptable (hair dye, false eyelashes, hair extensions, cosmetic tattoos), yet others are so taboo that if you admit you’ve done them, be ready for the judgy eye rolls and insults. 

I recently posted something on my Instagram about a procedure I had done to stimulate my natural collagen production around one side of my glutes.

(You would have thought I announced a criminal act.)

I have spent the last 5 years strategically building my body. Six weeks ago, I got 10 tiny threads in my butt,  and the internet went ballistic because apparently, my body is now “unattainable” and “unrealistic” (I literally had one little line softened under my butt). 

I’ve been told I’m a sellout, a liar, and overly-obsessed with my looks.

I’ve lost followers, and people have not filtered their disappointment in me.

But I’ve also had many wonderful messages thanking me for being so transparent about the work I get done.  

If a woman wants to enhance her looks to give her more confidence, why is this such a shame in our society? I’ve never understood this. Women deserve to feel beautiful at all stages of their lives, so why do people lose their bloody minds over cosmetic work?

In this episode, I interviewed my personal aesthetic nurse, Lisa Waring, from Face Therapy NI here in Belfast. She’s absolutely incredible and so knowledgeable.

She dishes all the details about these procedures that everyone should know. 

You will learn:

• Why you should ALWAYS go to a medical practitioner for your cosmetic procedures
• The worst horror story of Lisa’s career
• The one thing Lisa wishes she would’ve known when she first started
• What botox really is and how it works in the body (hint: this does not change regardless of where you go for it)
• A shocking fact about cosmetic filler that most people probably don’t know
• What body part Lisa thinks clients should treat first

She also gives fantastic advice for women who may be scared or worried about backlash if they ever admitted they had these procedures done.

You don’t want to miss this one! Happy listening!

Getting aesthetic treatments is not a moral failing.

“The rare people who do become truly exceptional at something do so not because they believe they're exceptional. On the contrary, they become amazing because they're obsessed with improvement.” - Mark Manson (Author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F^ck)

My successes haven’t come easily. 

I remember vividly the moment I decided I wasn’t happy with my body - at age 37! 

(you’ll hear about this moment in this episode)

I had been living on 1200-1400 calories a day, basically starving, and still wasn’t happy. Something clicked. I knew the only way I was going to change my body was to do something different.

Joining the gym and finally hitting the weights for the first time in my life ignited my love of muscles that was dormant for many years. 

My body changed rapidly as I trained hard AF, ate like a horse, and filled up my softening, sagging skin with gorgeously plump muscles.

I showed up every damn day, did the work,  and refused to give up.

And I apply this to everything that I do. It’s the reason I now run two multi-million dollar businesses, have an incredible family life, and have a physique I’m damn proud of.

It was never easy. It will never be easy. But it’s certainly much easier than giving up and looking back wondering how successful I could have been.

You’re going to hear all about:

• What my husband was worried about when I started competing years ago
• What not to say to your kids to ensure they have a healthy body image
• How I balance my work life, family life, and personal body goals (these tips might surprise you)
• My top advice for ultimate physique change
• The hilarious reason I first went vegetarian (& eventually vegan)
• and so much more!

As you listen to this episode, I want you to identify what success looks like for you, and how you can apply my tips to ensure you’re on the right track towards meeting any goal you have.

I can’t wait for you to hear this.

If more women understood the relationship between food and muscle, they wouldn’t be so afraid to eat.

Your biggest weakness is also your biggest strength.

Show up, do the work, do it consistently, and refuse to give up.

Quotes used: 

If people hate you and talk about you, that’s great! That means they will spread your name far and wide.

Just because you didn’t know, doesn’t mean you’re not responsible.

Lead with compassion. People are fighting battles we know nothing about.

Freedom lies in the capacity to pause between stimulus and response.

I hated asking for discounts and I hated haggling on price.  

I was an effective communicator, but I wasn’t an effective negotiator.  

I got nervous in negotiating situations because I wasn’t sure how to ask for what I wanted, without seeming demanding or unreasonable.  

That’s when I discovered Chris Voss.

Searching on Audible, I found Voss’ book ‘Never Split the Difference’.  An ex FBI negotiator, the book taught me negotiating skills that changed my life.

Armed with these new skills (and a completely new mindset around negotiating), it would not be an overstretch to say that my life has transformed.

I have used the skills Voss teaches to develop deeper relationships with my husband, kids, family and employees.

I have saved myself thousands of dollars, received complimentary upgrades on flights and in hotels and diverted crises in the business with staff and customers.

When Chris agreed to be a guest on my podcast, I jumped for joy.  

I saw that he was hosting a FREE 5 Day Negotiation Challenge through a private Facebook Group.

So I reached out to him on Instagram and offered to share it with my audience.

Ten minutes later we had exchanged cell phone numbers and set up a podcast interview at 7am UK time (this was 8pm on Saturday night).

Do yourself a favour and listen to this interview with master negotiator himself, Chris Voss.  

I know I am fangirling all over this right now, but with good reason.  I need you to trust me on this one. 

If you want to be successful in life, relationships or money making, you NEED to learn the secrets of tactical empathy and negotiation.

Listen to the interview and sign up for the challenge.  

And after you’ve listened, please leave me a comment and let me know your favourite part!  

Don’t forget to also follow Chris on Instagram.

See you inside the challenge!  It’s going to be epic.

This postulate (which you will hear about in this episode) has actually become the very thing that has caused me massive amounts of stress, anxiety, nausea, and physical pain in recent months surrounding my workout sessions.

Listen to what I realized has been going on with me lately and how one simple question to my trainer Mark has completely changed everything. 

You will hear:

• How my back pain history led me down the path towards strength training
• What my REAL problem was with my back, and how I made the pain disappear (it isn’t what you think)
• How to identify real fear
• A unique tip for facing fear head-on and learning how to respond to it
• How to assess a situation rationally (and how this skill can be damaged when authority figures in a child’s life shout at them)
• ...and so many more gold nuggets that will help you sculpt a shit-hot physique even if you’re afraid of what it might take to do it

“Do what you can do and not what you THINK you can do.”

I used to have a very unhealthy attitude towards food, established (as most of these things are) when I was a child. For years, I was scared of getting fat. Terrified. But now I’m so much more relaxed about food, able to indulge when I want, and shred when I need to. So what triggered this change? How did I do it? Listen in to find out.
