    Nov 7 2025


    Feeling tired, unmotivated, and like your routines have slipped? You’re not alone — and you don’t need to start over. In this episode, Jenni shares how to reset your mindset, energy, and habits before Christmas, using evidence-based strategies rooted in behavioural science and real-life experience.
    You’ll learn:

    ✨ Why motivation feels harder at this time of year (and what to do instead)
    ✨ Three simple, research-backed mindset shifts to rebuild consistency
    ✨ How to reconnect with yourself and create calm — even through chaos.

    This isn’t about overhauling your life or waiting for January. It’s about meeting yourself where you are and finishing the year feeling strong, grounded, and proud of how you showed up. 💛

    Ep 23: Where is your locus of control - any why it changes Everything!!
    Aug 17 2025
    Ever feel like you want to make changes—but life just keeps getting in the way? In this episode, we’re diving into a powerful mindset tool that can transform how you approach your health, fitness, and habits: locus of control. You’ll learn:
    • What locus of control actually is—and how it shows up in everyday choices
    • Why saying things like “I don’t have time” or “I always sabotage myself” might be keeping you stuck
    • The link between external control, shame, and procrastination
    • How to shift back into ownership without falling into the self-blame trap
    I’ll also share real coaching stories from women who went from feeling powerless to taking aligned, consistent action—without needing perfect conditions or more motivation. If you’re tired of starting over, and ready to feel back in the driver’s seat, this one’s for you.

    Ep 22: Why your mindset might be the missing piece in your fitness journey!
    Aug 3 2025
    You don’t need another plan—you need a mindset that helps you follow through. In this episode, I’m unpacking why so many smart, capable women struggle with consistency—not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because they’ve internalised a fixed mindset shaped by past failures, perfectionism, and unrealistic expectations. We’ll explore:
    • What a growth mindset actually is (and isn’t)
    • The everyday language that keeps us stuck in self-sabotage
    • Why your beliefs about yourself matter more than willpower
    • Real-life coaching shifts that move women from “I always fall off track” to “I know how to get back on track”
    I’ll also share personal stories and coaching tools you can use right away to change the story you tell yourself—so you can build habits that stick even when life is messy. This is the mindset foundation behind everything I teach in Empowered—and it could be the shift you’ve been missing.
