I don’t want you to be like most women who get maintenances phases WRONG! I’ve put together this list of the 3 most common mistakes women are making at maintenance and how to avoid them. You’ll hear: Why maintenance isn’t just a holding bay before you get to go again in a deficit Why entitlement to results is actually just avoidance of doing the work Why your coaching giving you maintenance calories, doesn’t mean you’re actually consuming them and why bs’ing yourself on how much you’re eating is hindering your progress. As always I’d love to hear from you in the DM’s about your key take aways from the podcast so definitely drop me a message if you resonate and found the episode helpful.

Let’s get rid of the idea that you need to be totally rid of self-doubt before you can achieve the things you set out to. I call total utter bullshit on that. Thoughts of not being good enough, fear of not meeting the standards you set for yourself, all of it can co-exist with the part of you that knows (even if it’s deep down) you are capable. And if you even step one foot in the gym, then that’s you.
