Shownotes

In this podcast conversation, We interview Steph, a coach whose business has grown over five years and whose 12-week blueprint supports women after 30 with realistic plans, accountability, and strength training rather than relying on motivation, willpower, or crash diets.

Steph explains how diet culture and male-focused fitness research leave women feeling ashamed and “failing,” especially as hormones change after 30, through childbirth, and into perimenopause/menopause. She shares her personal story: growing up in a household of constant dieting, developing restrictive habits as a teen, becoming a chef, reaching 16.5 stone, losing six stone, and being driven by her mother’s health struggles and death.

They discuss mindset, identity, imposter syndrome, business challenges, and client transformations such as increased strength, energy, and confidence beyond scale weight.
