SHE BREAKS THE RULES

In this refreshingly real conversation, Faye and Tarryn dive deep into what a sustainable fat loss journey actually looks like... and it’s probably not what you’ve been sold. This episode is for the woman who wants to feel confident, strong, and healthy… without the obsessive rules, toxic restriction, or chasing a number on the scale.
They share their own personal journeys with fat loss, the mindset shifts, the mistakes, the breakthroughs and the powerful difference between approaching your goals from self-hate vs self-respect.
You’ll Learn:
Why fat loss isn’t a dirty word and how it can still align with body confidence
The mindset red flags that lead to yo-yo dieting and burnout
How to know if you’re really ready to start a fat loss phase
What realistic progress looks like (hint: it's not 5kg in 4 weeks)
How to avoid post-diet rebounds and actually maintain your results
Faye’s real-life example of losing 10kg over 10 months, while still living her life!
4 Journal Prompts to Reflect On:
Do I have the capacity mentally, emotionally and physically to pursue fat loss right now?
What does realistic progress look like for me?
How will I handle setbacks or slower weeks?
What are my non-negotiable health habits, no matter what?
Why this episode breaks the rules:
Because we’re done with desperation-driven weight loss that leaves women feeling depleted and disconnected from their bodies. This episode is about reclaiming fat loss from a place of grounded self-respect, not punishment. It’s about playing the long game. This is how we rewrite the rules on women’s health.

Signature Reminder:
This episode is exactly why we break the rules. Because health isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s about coming back home to yourself. 💥

New year, same pressure?
In this first episode of 2026, we’re flipping the script on how you reflect on the year that’s been and how you actually set goals that stick.
If you’ve ever found yourself setting the same resolutions year after year (and falling off by February), this episode will show you how to do it differently. We talk about why most New Year goal setting fails, how to reflect without shame or guilt, and what it really takes to create health goals that are realistic, aligned with your values, and sustainable all year round.
This isn’t about “New Year, New Me.”
This is about self-trust, honest reflection, and creating habits that support who you truly want to become.
🎧 What We Cover:
Why typical New Year goal-setting doesn’t work (and how to break the cycle)
How to reflect on 2025 in a way that gives you clarity and direction (not just guilt)
The underrated power of small wins and “failures”
Habits to leave behind and ones to take into 2026
Self-talk, mindset, and identity shifts that make or break your progress
The problem with all-or-nothing thinking (and what to do instead)
How to create a roadmap that aligns with your values, not someone else’s rules
💭 Journal Prompts & Reflection Questions Mentioned:
✔️ What am I most proud of from 2025?
✔️ What habits drained me or felt forced?
✔️ When did I feel most connected to my health and body?
✔️ What expectations or beliefs am I ready to let go of?
✔️ Who do I want to become in 2026 and what needs to shift to support that?
Grab your journal, take some time, and reflect to project.
This episode will help you build momentum in 2026, not burn out by February!
