Live, Laugh & Tough Love

Today I am joined by the icon Chloe Stevens, a Women's health Physiotherapist and Nutritionist. Chloe is passionate about health & fitness, and has worked within the NHS for 10 years. She also has a consultancy working with Fitness Coaches (like me) to help them understand Women's Health in more detail so that they can provide a better service to their clients. She's had such a positive impact on my life and business already in the time that I've worked with her. In this episode, we talk about our bugbears within the industry; Hormone balancing 'Gut health' powders Should women be resistance training and running or should we be wrapped up in cotton wool? And why it's so important to get women's health education out there. Not only that, but we discuss why it can be important to break the taboo around a lot of women's health topics such as periods, bumholes, incontinence and leaking Not to mention Chloe answers your questions around Ovulation, Fertility, Menopause and weight loss, Supporting loved ones with PCOS & Endo, Pregnancy & pelvic floor We absolutely loved creating this episode for you!

Hinging your happiness on instagram likes, people noticing your new hair cut, or complimenting you on your outfit is a slippery slope. And whilst we all like to hear these compliments, or these 'seeds of validation', all too quickly we can end up relying on these ‘pick me ups’ so that when we don’t receive these words of affirmation, we feel lost, question our decisions, and ultimately not feel liked/successful/happy or 'good enough'. In this episode I discuss my own struggles with this, and shared tips on how I started making steps towards overcoming this sabotaging behaviour and thought process to fulfil my full potential, in the hopes that it can also help you do the same! I hope you found this episode insightful and helpful, and if you'd like to discuss any of these topics in more detail, then please feel free to drop me a message over on instagram: @bethmay.fearless or send me an email to [email protected] - I'd love to hear from you x

In this episode I discuss some ways in which you can overcome these emotions, so you don't get sucked in and revert back to old ways.. plus I delve into what I'm going to be focusing on this year!!! Exciting times! Let me know what you think via email: [email protected] or over on my instagram @bethmay.fearless xx

Amy's journey to Fearless! Amy started with me in June '21 - Jan '22. She had a short-term goal for a holiday, which we absolutely smashed. Circumstances for Amy then changed meaning she had to go off and trial things by herself for a while. Fast forward to March 2023, she's back knocking on my coaching door, chasing an emotion of feeling amazing, but this time, wanting it to last for life! We took an approach of, yes we've got a holiday and photoshoot to aim for, but how can we make sure we're striving for that 'lifestyle change', so she can maintain that feeling for life. Take a listen to hear her struggles, and how she overcame them. How she balanced her fitness goals and busy social life whilst chasing a fat loss goal. How she got over a huge motivation deep dive after the photoshoot that changed her perception on herself! We hope you enjoy this episode, you can ask Amy about her journey over on her instagram @amyd0bson Or if you'd like to ask me any other questions, you can reach me @bethmay.fearless

Little bit honesty from me here into how I've felt recently, how I've just struggled with a real lack of drive/motivation/energy.. But also with what I did to overcome that, so I can get back to feeling my best self. Almost everyone I've spoken to recently has struggled with this, so I really hope that hearing how I've dealt with it, is going to help you too.

In this episode I discuss various issues that we as women face when trying to balance priorities/life/circumstances and our own health and wellbeing.

So I gave you the opportunity to pick the topic for this week, and in this episode I discuss the All or Nothing Mindset! A lot of you wrote in, so in this episode I go through the experiences you have shared, and discuss how I would approach these myself and how I would advise clients to tackle them. I discuss things such as the 'I'll start again on Monday' Eating 'bad' foods in moderation How to navigate a meal out whilst dieting without the guilt Navigating difficult situations and staying on track when emotions are high I hope that if you related to some of these issues then this episode is somewhat helpful in overcoming or at least changing you mindset around these different topics. Next week, as promised, I will discuss Gym Anxiety and tips on how to overcome it!

A lot of people will assume that someone who has visible confidence, has been that way their whole life.. However, in this podcast I discuss how that was very much not the case for me personally.. throughout my teens I was even researching surgeries on how to rectify my biggest insecurity. Take a listen to figure out how I navigated puberty, relationships, and other peoples rude comments/actions, to finally overcome my biggest insecurity, and turn it in to my superpower.

Let me set the scene... You started your diet again, things were going well.. you were ticking things off, but your progress has been slow and you've not seen any changes in the mirror. This is the millionth time you've become frustrated and given up on your fitness journey, because you're not reaping the rewards of your efforts. I get it, it's SO frustrating when you don't see those results. I've been there too. In this episode I share with you the two things I implemented in order to get fool-proof results. You an also implement these two things into almost any other aspect of your daily life, such as working for a promotion, or saving money! Let me know if you found them helpful!

Take a big breath with me as I try and calm myself down this episode. Every time I've done a podcast recently I feel like I've rushed through it to the point where I've felt out of breath and a bit panicky.. so I've tried to slow myself down today, and admit to myself that it doesn't have to be perfect.. ANYWAY.. In this episode I discuss with you some vital tips on increasing your protein intake throughout the day, as we should all really be incorporating some more protein into our diet. Take a listen to find out why.. and how! I also have a bit of a rant at the end about why I think it's important of us to start NOW and not wait until January to start your FiTnEsS jOuRnEy. Why are you delaying your opportunity to feel confident and incredible? Take action today! If you'd like me to share with you my protein guide, or my protein snack guide, then come say hey over on my instagram @bethmay.fearless Would love to have a chat xx

I discuss each of these issues in this episode, plus some advice on overcoming gym anxiety by my very own clients! Enjoy! Next week I will be discussing how to balance your life around your health and fitness goals. Let me know what you think and ask questions in the Q&A!

So if I'm being honest (and I know I'm no podcast guru and this is only my third episode..) but it's definitely the most difficult one to post.. In this episode I get super vulnerable about a pivotal turning point from my recent trip to Portugal.. whereby Ben Mark sat me and 13 other coaches down to hear from some of the world's most successful Online Coaches, to hear from them in regards to their past and how they were able to get themselves to where they are today. The challenges and adversities they've overcome to become successes. There was one moment with Phil Graham that completely altered how I view myself; past, present and future.. and in this episode I delve into it.. just a little bit. It's still something I'm kind of processing, so I don't drag it out.. but it's definitely something I think I want to talk about in more detail.. but for now I hope you enjoy this snippet. And I hope you realise, by listening, that you're not alone with the feelings and thoughts you have inside your head.. hopefully voicing my own insecurities will help you see that you really are stronger than you think. You're not strange or weird or broken because you have these beliefs, but you also don't have to deal with them alone.. and you're more than capable of overcoming them. Lots of love, thank you for listening <3

In this episode I talk through the pivotal points that got me from being the LEAST sporty person I know, to someone who actually enjoyed moving her body, putting her health first, and creating balance where she previously had none. I also discuss feeling like I don't belong in the gym, how training upper body actually IMPROVED my confidence and made me feel empowered and NOT masculine, and how I'll never be doing a Tough Mudder ever again!!! Thank you so much for all the love you've given me with the launch of this podcast! If you ever want to chat, my DM's are open Until next time hunnyyyyy'ssss

It's been a journey you know, but I honestly feel like I'm just getting started with what I want to achieve for myself, and I really want to share this journey with you. 2023 is the year where I take no prisoners. No more procrastinating on the things I've said I've wanted to do, and what better way to document and share it all with you than a semi-regular podcast. This is my first episode. I didn't plan it, NGL I was procrastinating slightly from other things (whoops), but I had so much fun making it, I decided to keep it. In a very short 10 minutes, I give a very brief overview into my 28 years of living, and what I hope to achieve with this new journey I'm on! So thank you for listening to my ramblings, it was actually really fun! MORE from me in the near future, so buckle up gals, we're making moves <3
