146. The quiet reinvention from World Champion to starting again with Lourene Bevaart

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when the medals are won, the spotlight fades… and life knocks you flat on the kitchen floor, this is for you.In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, I sit down with five-time world karate champion, former Gladiators winner, and entrepreneur Lourene Bevaart to explore the kind of courage that isn’t loud but absolutely packs a punch.You’ll hear how one spontaneous “yes” opened doors she never could have predicted…eventually leading to international travel and becoming Shane Warne and Russell Crowe’s personal trainer.But the real story isn’t about trophies or titles. It’s about the moments when your identity is tested and what it takes to rebuild a life when the only person coming to save you is you.From rebuilding financially while raising two young daughters, to retraining her mindset after knockdowns, to redefining what winning looks like at any age—Lourene is a walking billboard for what it means to live a truly world-class life.This episode is about grit, growth, health, boundaries, and the discipline of choosing who you want to be.If you’ve ever wondered whether you can rebuild after a setback, questioned if it’s too late to start again, or felt there might be something more waiting for you, this conversation could be the inspiration you need. Key takeaways:o   Why saying “yes” before you feel ready can open doors you could never have predicted.o   What it really feels like when your identity collapses overnight, and how you begin to rebuild.o   The mindset shifts that carry you through life’s unexpected blows.o   Why surrounding yourself with people ahead of you is the fastest way to rise.o   How she stayed true to a declaration she made as a teenager, and how she made it real.o   The non-negotiable life principles every woman needs to hear to get the most out of her body (especially after 40).o   Why reinvention is about consistently choosing and showing up for who you want to become. Find out more about Lourene:Instagram: @lourenebevaart    Facebook: Lourene Bevaart     LinkedIn:  Lourene Bevaart     Website: Lourene Bevaart      COURAGEOUS ME – THE BOOK Grab your copy of Courageous Me – The courage to turn someday into today.  Where to find me: Website: Kim Payne   LinkedIn: Kim Payne Instagram: @iamkimpayne  Facebook: KimPayneBiz   COURAGEOUS SHIFTWant to make the impact you know is possible without having everything figured out? Get access now to The Courageous Shift – a FREE 90 min audio mini-series to work out your next move. Want to get clear on your next steps in your business or career?Book a FREE 45 min Call to Action to help you get to the starting line.
