  • From Togs to Toasties: My Latest Updates
    Jun 15 2025

    Episode Summary:

    I’m back! After a bit of a podcast break, I’m jumping on the mic to catch you up on everything that’s been happening in my health and fitness journey. I’ve lost 23 kilos, built up my walking stamina (including an accidental 7.5km hike!), and enjoyed a beautiful summer road trip around the South Island with my mum. From lake swims in Taupō to the hilarious chaos of a Jack Russell race, it’s been a season of wins, lessons, and lots of steps. I’m also recommitting to my plan and inviting you to keep me accountable as I head into the next phase of my journey.

    In this episode, I share:

    • How I lost 23kg with a high-protein plan and daily walks
    • What it felt like to wear a pair of cool pants I bought online
    • My accidental mega-hike on the Abel Tasman track
    • Washing Mum’s house (and loving it!)
    • My favourite zero-alcohol beer moment
    • The unforgettable Jack Russell race at the Wanaka A&P show
    • How I walked to and from the NZ Podcast Summit
    • Why winter is the perfect time to recommit to my goals

    Join me for Honest stories, a bit of laughter, and a whole lot of inspiration as I continue to walk the talk on this journey to health, strength, and joy.
