One of the questions I am always asked is how do I stay so motivated and consistent
I pride myself on my consistency and dedication to my training, I know the continual growth and improvement of my performance comes from that commitment. I can probably count on one hand the number of training sessions I have missed in the last 2-3 years of training. But it has not happened by accident or luck and surprisingly it also hasn't happened by being motivated all the time.
No one is motivated 24/7 that is not possible but what I have learnt is the relationship between motivation, discipline, consistency and habits. I have learnt how to hack the system and now I want to share that with you!
So that is what today's episode is all about, the tips and tricks I have used to stay consistent and committed to my training and how motivation plays a role in that.
The key things covered:
- Understanding the relationship between motivation, discipline, habits and consistency.
- How to remove the friction in your life and make training easy
- The importance of understanding your why and getting clear on your goals
- How to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling motivated
- Find something you love doing
- How to create fail-safe habits
- Creating the ideal daily routine
- How to outsmart yourself
- Make your mistakes your superpower
- The importance of a game plan
- Know the difference between excuses and reasons
- How to build your champions mindset
- The power of visualization
- Upgrade your language and use mantras
- Finally, I threw the kitchen sink at you with all the other tips and tricks I have learnt over the years.
This is a powerful episode that will not only upgrade your attitude to training but also translate to all areas of your life where you need to upgrade your motivation and consistency.
As always, share your wins with me, tag me on Instagram, take a screenshot of this episode and share it with anyone you think would find value in it.
It's time to be game-changing!

42. How to stop self-sabotage, set new non-negotiables and take action towards your goals
Grow By Design
10/31/22 • 25 min
This week's episode is all about self-sabotage and how to overcome it.
You know the feeling you set a goal, you read the books, you listen to the podcasts and you know all the theories, you know WHAT to do but somehow you are not doing it, you are still in the same place and not moving any closer to your goals.
Today I put an uncomfortable question to you ... Why do we do what we do, when we know what we know.
We know we should choose the veggies over the icecream, do the cold shower, get up in the morning for the walk but we don’t
Why do we break the promises that we make to ourselves?
We do things even though they don’t align with our goals, we let ourselves take shortcuts.
BUT it doesn’t have to be this way, we cover:
- How to understand WHY we self-sabotage
- How to identify the signs when you start to self-sabotage
- Practical tools to stop and choose a new outcome
- My own experiences of self-sabotage and how I overcome it
- Why our own laziness is costing us our goals
- How to practice doing hard shit!
- Understanding your own non -negotiables
- The importance of changing the way you speak to yourself
- How to take action and set yourself up for success
- Loving yourself enough to take action
I hope you find this episode interesting and inspiring, know that you can break the cycle of self-sabotage and take action towards your goals.
You are worthy!

This week's episode is a powerful one. I chat with two incredible women, Jayne Caldwell and Quincy Hewitt, they are the founders of the lifestyle and fitness app Ya Bish.
Having started multiple businesses in both the athlete and tech space, they know a thing or two about hard work, making the most of opportunities and levelling up.
Their story doesn't just start and end with business and they are also former pro athletes, having played American football in Australia before moving to America to play for LA and Chicago and winning a national title undefeated!
In this episode we cover:
• How they started playing American football and what it was like to play in the American league
• Their take on the uniforms that were a topic of hot debate when the league first started and how empowering these really were.
• How they learnt to balance their masculine and feminine energy in both life, sport and business.
• How they overcome the challenges moving out of athlete life and into their next phase.
• Why messages of self-love, self-confidence and female empowerment are so important to them and how this is the basis for the Ya Bish app.
• The importance of dreaming big, wanting more and knowing you are capable of all that you dream of
• Why the ability to flow and adapt through opportunities and lessons is so important
