You don't need to force yourself to more grateful.

If you 'know better' but still can't shake it,

That's the gap that compassion fills.

Feeling fat is a distressing experience and it’s different for everyone,

So it’s important for us to get curious about what’s happening for you.

- When do you tend to feel fat?
- Is it after eating certain foods?
- Do you notice physiological sensations occurring in these moments (hot/sweaty/full/bloated)?
- What other feelings are present?

Compassion is a motivation.

And one of the three qualities is commitment.

It is completely normal to worry about letting yourself go if the only motivation you know so far is frustration and pushing through.

But there comes a point when that’s no longer working.

If you were more committed to yourself, what would change for you?

You can be compassionate and competitive, as long as you know how to switch it on and off.

REBT is often used in high performance settings, and was my first foray into psychology.

In my experience, it’s a lot more effective when there’s strong foundation of compassion in place.

What’s one high standard you hold for yourself?
Would it benefit from more supportive self talk?

The cruel irony is that our fear of fat gain keeps us stuck in the very thing we are scared of:

Being disconnected from others.

Control leads to cancelled plans, avoided beaches, dinners you couldn’t be present for.

Aka...the very loneliness you were trying to avoid.

Improving your relationship with food and body doesn’t mean you to stop caring for yourself.

After all, that wouldn’t be compassionate either.

A strong relationship with yourself involves making balanced food choices that energize you.

Training regularly in a way that feels empowering.

Hobbies and interests outside of food & fitness.

Freedom to enjoy new foods, make spontaneous plans and be connected to the people you care about.

The life you want is on the other side of your fear.

Compassion helps you build the courage to move towards it.

What does that look like for you?

So much of the conversation around body image focuses on the female experience.

But it affects men too.

The difference is that ‘masculine’ men aren’t supposed to talk about their emotions. So they don’t always learn effective ways of navigating them, and end up struggling alone.

Around 50% of my clients are male, so I set out to speak to researchers and clinicians who specialise in masculinity and body image.

The result is this resource list.

P.S. The research cited here is based on heterosexual males, which is clearly not representative of all experiences.

As a person with body-privilege,

I am quite frankly outraged at the bu****it my clients in larger bodies have to deal with on a daily basis.

As a coach it’s important for me to help clients unlearn shame and rebuild their relationship with themselves, AND equally to advocate for change in the systems and social structures that perpetuate it.

It’s hard to care for yourself when the world has spent years convincing you your body is a problem that needs fixing.

Change starts with recognising none of this is your fault.

Before providing weight loss advice, we need to consider:

What's motivating this?

In order to ensure we're effectively supporting clients, we need to tease out whether there are any body image concerns or disordered eating present.

It’s ED Awareness Week, and I’m talking to the coaches.

You got into this industry to help people live better lives right?

Then you need to be prepared for when you come across body dissatisfaction.

Think it’s niche? Try ‘public health issue’.

It shows up in your check-in forms, on the other end of your calls, and most likely in your Instagram audience.

You’re in one of the most powerful positions to do something about it.

My goal this week is to show you how!

According to the Compassion Focused Therapy model, we have three primary emotion systems: threat, drive and soothe.

When they’re out of balance, you end up stuck in patterns you can’t journal your way out of.

If you’re frustrated that you’re not following through despite knowing better, it’s time to take the free Emotion System Audit!

In less than 30 minutes you’ll:

🤔 Know exactly which emotion system you’re spending too much time in, and which one needs cultivating

👀 Understand why that imbalance is contributing to your overwhelm, inconsistency, and inability to switch off

🎯 Choose one action step to focus on first - so you stop cycling through the same patterns and finally know where to put your energy.

You could spend the next 30 mins consuming more content that you won’t remember tomorrow...

Or you could spend it becoming someone who responds to life intentionally, instead of just reacting to it.

A question I like to ask myself whenever I feel stuck, frustrated, or scared to make a business move that logically makes sense...

'What would the 90 year old version of me, with the wisdom of having lived a full life, say to me right now?

What would they want me to focus on? What step would they encourage me to take?'

It often comes back to the trust I have in myself that I'll figure things out, even if it doesn't work right away.

And the knowledge that being driven by fear just guarantees regret.

The coaches I work with who make this transition successfully don't wait for the fear to go away.

They approach their fears with compassion, and develop the courage to build a business that reflects who they're becoming, not who they used to be.

How would your business change if you led with compassion?
