Chatting with Cara - The Relationship with Food Podcast12 Jun

Episode 100. My Story | How I Got Here

100 episodes. I know. I genuinely can't believe I'm saying that.

I wanted to do something different for this one. No notes (yes I do plan the podcasts), no framework, no big strategy episode. Just me, in my stepdaughter's bedroom hiding from the noise, telling you my life story. Because the more you know me, the more everything else I talk about actually lands.

And I think that's worth doing at 100, don't you?

So this one is all about how a sporty kid with a PE teacher as a Mum ended up becoming a relationship with food coach. It all makes sense when you hear it.

In this episode I talk about -

Growing up surrounded by sport. Every sport, all the time. Netball, hockey, tennis, football with the boys at break time. My mum was a PE teacher and a total legend on the court. Sport was just what we did and I absolutely loved it.
Going from PT to proper conversations. When I was personal training at the Body Barn, the women weren't getting their best results from the hour on the gym floor. They were getting them from the chats we were having about everything else, the stress, the boredom eating, the picking at kids' leftovers.
Watching the yo-yo diet cycle up close. The same women dropping off after four weeks, coming back, dropping off again. All or nothing, every time. I just kept thinking, how do I help them find the middle bit?
Why I made the switch to relationship with food coaching. It stopped being about the squats. It became about helping women stop overeating at night when they didn't want to, stop emotionally eating, stop feeling rubbish about food. Because then everything just got better for them, I saw real tangible results for them.
Where I'm at now. Self-employed, coaching women 1-1, teaching Pilates, raising Luca, and doing my 100th episode from a bedroom. Living the dream, basically.

Thanks for being here. Really. Without you listening every week I wouldn't still be doing this.

So thank you.
