Two years ago, on 22 July 2024, I pressed record on the very first episode of this podcast.

In this special anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on the journey from that first walk listening to “how to start a podcast”, to building a show that has now reached listeners across New Zealand, the USA, Australia, and beyond.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Two years ago, I simply pressed record. That one decision has led to conversations, opportunities, friendships, and growth I never could have predicted. Start before you’re ready.

This week I'm joined by Michelle Cooney, mum of two, personal trainer, and online health coach who's on a mission to help busy mums lose weight in a way that actually fits their real life.

Michelle's story starts somewhere a lot of women will recognise. She spent years chasing skinny and when she got there, it didn't make her happier or healthier. That turning point is what drove her to do things differently, and now she helps mums ditch the restrictive diets and all-or-nothing thinking that keeps so many of us stuck in the same cycle.

In this episode we cover:

• How Michelle went from being the overweight kid at school to building a genuinely healthy relationship with food and her body
• Why so many women feel like they've failed at dieting and why that's not actually on them
• Why you don't need to cut out the foods you love or spend hours in the gym to see real results
• Her Lasting Confidence Method™ and how it combines nutrition, training, mindset and accountability into something that actually lasts
• Her free online event on 21 July for busy mums details at the end

If you've ever felt like your health keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list, this one's for you.

If you've been feeling flat, foggy, unmotivated or just off and you can't figure out why, this one's for you. Sometimes it's not mindset. Sometimes your body is just trying to tell you something.

I've always been the person who loves to work. Motivated, creative, all in, that's just me. So when this year rolled around and I couldn't find my groove, I knew something wasn't right.

For months I put it down to burnout. I pulled back from socials, stopped the 5am workouts, cut my screen time, started pilates, gave myself real permission to rest and still felt nothing. Brain fog so thick I couldn't get ideas out of my head. Weight creeping up despite doing everything right. Bloating, fluid retention, and for the first time ever, genuinely negative thoughts about my own ability. That last one scared me, because that is just not me.

It took almost six weeks of doing the bare minimum before I finally got my bloods done. The results? Low iron, an underachieving thyroid, and very high B12. My iron was sitting at 15, and the normal range starts at 20.

In this episode I'm sharing everything, what the symptoms actually felt like, how easy it was to write it off as just being a tired mum, the iron infusion experience, and how I'm feeling five days on.
