In this episode, I reflect honestly on the beliefs I held - and how real-life coaching completely changed my perspective.

From thinking that knowledge alone leads to action, to believing exercise was the main driver of weight loss, this episode dives into the lessons I’ve learned about behaviour change, consistency, pain, motivation, and sustainable fat loss.

This isn’t about being wrong - it’s about growth, nuance, and understanding real humans living real lives.

If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to do” but still struggle to follow through, this episode will resonate deeply.

In this episode, Claire shares her experience running the Dublin Marathon. She takes you behind the scenes of her 12-week training block that started in July - from her consistent routine of four runs and two gym sessions a week, to the fine details of fuelling, tapering, and mindset heading into race day.

You’ll hear what went right, what nearly didn’t, and how everything came together on the day. Claire opens up about the mental side of running, how she stayed calm when things got tough, and the little decisions that helped her cross the finish line feeling proud and strong.

She also shares 10 key lessons from the marathon that go far beyond running - lessons about consistency, trust, discipline, and celebrating your progress.

Whether you’re training for your first 5k or your fifth marathon, this episode is a reminder that steady effort always pays off, nerves are a good sign, and sometimes, the perfect day really does come together.

Tune in for practical takeaways, personal insights, and a dose of motivation for your own goals.

In this episode, Claire dives into one of the most misunderstood questions in the health world - is wanting to lose weight a bad thing?

With so much noise around body image, diet culture, and self-acceptance, it’s easy to feel pulled in opposite directions.

You’ll hear her take on how to find that middle ground between caring for your health and accepting your body, without slipping into extremes.

It’s an honest, compassionate chat about motivation, mindset, and what it really means to take care of yourself in a balanced way.
