008 - The Uplift Podcast: Stand Tall, Own the Room — The Art of Posing, Body Language & the Mindset Behind Real Confidence ft. Coach Katie Barnes

Send us Fan MailWhat started as a conversation about body language and posing turned into a deeper dive into mindset.Katie is a coach, competitive bodybuilder, posing coach and mum of one. I thought we were going to talk about how to stand. How to walk into a room. The physical stuff.And we did. But then something shifted.Because you cannot talk about how a woman holds her body without talking about why she stopped holding it that way in the first place. This episode goes there.What We Cover:Katie's story, the real version. Life after having her baby, running a business with a newborn, leaving a stable job and the moment she started coming back to herself.The art of posing, what it actually is and why it's not just for stage. From the gym to the boardroom to the school gate, what your body is communicating before you've said a single word.The mindset shift nobody talks about — because confidence is not a body position. It's a belief system. And the two have to move together.The lies women tell themselves post-baby — the ones that feel like facts. We named them and took them apart.Try This Right Now:Roll your shoulders back. Chin parallel to the floor. One slow breath out. Feel your feet on the ground. Notice how that feels. That's what this whole episode is about.Connect With Katie: 📲 Instagram: @PosedbyKB 🌐Loved this episode? Share it with someone who needs it.
