#303 - The journey to losing 30kgs and optimal health with Nicole Liddell

This podcast was a raw, deep dive into the complexities of life, relationships, and self-discovery. Last year Craig and I went through an incredibly hard time in our relationship. During this time we worked with Max and Greta who helped us navigate the challenges we faced.This episode wasn’t just about the usual fitness or nutrition tips but about understanding the layers within ourselves and our relationships.We delved into the concept of masculine and feminine energies and how they shape our experiences and dynamics with others. Both Greta and Max shared powerful insights on childhood wounds, and it made me think about how much of what we experience as adults—our pain, our fears, our triggers—roots back to unresolved pieces of our past. One thing I learnt last year was that every relationship, romantic or otherwise, can act as a mirror. Max explained how, through his own marriage, he’s found ways to lean into that vulnerability, allowing space for true healing and connection. It’s not easy, especially when we’ve spent years building walls or staying in control to protect ourselves. One of the many things I took away from their coaching, is that a conscious relationship is a gift—a chance to truly see and be seen, to create a connection that’s deep, real, and sustainable.To those of you exploring these parts of yourselves, you’re not alone. If this resonates, join us in this episode—it’s worth every minute.

In this week's podcast, Craig and I reflect on a whirlwind year of growth, moving to Dubai, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way—both personally and in business. We’ve also got some exciting news to share about our next big move to Thailand!But more importantly, we dive into why so many women struggle to get lasting results with diet and training. The truth is, most women over 40 have been stuck in the low-carb, sugar-free, and HIIT class-heavy mindset for years, and it’s wreaking havoc on their hormones and bodies.That’s where our method—and our app—make all the difference. We help you eat more of the right foods, train smarter (not harder), and track what truly matters for your body. It’s not about starving yourself or endless HIIT classes; it’s about building strength, boosting metabolism, and getting sustainable, healthy results.If you’ve been feeling stuck, our process will help you unlock food freedom and finally see progress in a way that works for your body!RESOURCES + LINKSJoin our 7 Day Live Rebuild Your Metabolism ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I just had an incredible conversation with Michael on the podcast, and I think it’s something that will really resonate with so many of you. Michael dives deep into the reasons we often sabotage ourselves—whether it's skipping meal prep, drinking every weekend, or simply being our own worst critics. It’s those little behaviours we know we shouldn’t be doing, but we can’t quite figure out why we keep doing them.We talked about how to break the cycle of self-criticism and really understand why we behave the way we do. It’s all about identifying the deeper beliefs that hold us back—like feeling “not good enough”—and learning how to rewrite that story so you can finally start making the changes you want to see.If you’ve ever felt stuck in this kind of loop, like you know what you should be doing but can't seem to stay consistent, this episode is a must-listen. Trust me, you’ll walk away with some real insights on how to stop self-sabotaging and start making progress toward your goals.RESOURCES + LINKSJoin our 7 Day Live Rebuild Your Metabolism ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifySave 33% on your first month with this link: https://community.thewholepersonproject.com/invitation?code=2EC3FJFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldMichael Rizk @thewholepersonprojectAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I recently had an incredible chat on the podcast with one of our amazing clients, Mel, who shared her inspiring transformation story that I think so many of you will relate to. If you've ever struggled with yo-yo dieting, food restriction, or felt like you’ve tried everything and still aren’t seeing results, you’re going to want to tune in to this one.Mel’s journey started just like so many women out there – battling body image issues since childhood, jumping from one restrictive diet to another (Keto, anyone?), and feeling completely lost, exhausted, and miserable. She even reached a point where she didn’t want to leave the house. Sound familiar?What changed for her? Joining our program, which taught her how to eat in a way that actually fuels her body, enjoy food again (yes, she’s now loving carbs like orange juice and rice pudding!), and embrace strength training. She stopped obsessing over the scale and started focusing on building muscle, and guess what? She’s now 9kg down, 17.5% body fat, and feeling stronger and more confident than ever before. 🙌Here are a few gems from Mel’s story that we talked about on the podcast:👉How she finally found food freedom and stopped the binge-restrict cycle for good.👉Why learning to eat more (yes, MORE) has been the key to her fat loss and muscle-building success.👉How our program helped her fix her relationship with food and her body, ditch the guilt, and stop being controlled by the scale.👉The incredible improvements in her energy, mood, and even her hair and skin!If you’ve been trying to starve yourself skinny, or can’t seem to break the cycle of bingeing and restricting, this episode is for you. Mel’s experience shows what’s possible when you stop focusing on the 👉number on the scale and start fuelling your body to feel strong, energised, and empowered!RESOURCES + LINKSJoin our 7 Day Live Rebuild Your Metabolism ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
