Often times people talk about the gym as therapeutic and how you feel stronger during a session when dealing with some obstacle in life. During Barbell Therapy we're going to give strength to vulnerability the same way it gives us strength in gym. Listen in as your host, Kate, talks about her journey, things she's struggling with and overcoming and brings on guests to do the same!
058: My deepest insecurity sabotaged my health journey.
New You November Project is OPEN 🥳 https://inquire.kateannfit.com/newyounovember (https://inquire.kateannfit.com/newyounovember)
The fastest way to sabotage your health goals is not willpower, it's shame. Today we get brutally honest about how trauma, borderline personality disorder, and fear of judgment shapes the way I eat, drink, coach, and show up in relationships - and why communicating your needs can change everything.
We break down the difference between being confrontational and being clear, why people often need less fighting and more honest communication, and how assumptions about what others think can quietly derail progress. If you've ever felt judged for your choices, guilty for setting boundaries, or stuck between pleasing other people and protecting your own goals, this episode will hit hard.
Growth does not come from shrinking yourself to keep everyone comfortable. It comes from telling the truth, asking for support, and trusting that the right people will meet you there. Essential listening for anyone trying to build healthier habits without losing themselves in the process.

057: A guy told me I had tree trunks for legs on a first date
A passing comment can completely change how you feel about yourself and your body. Whether it's a compliment or a joke, if your identity is tied to giving to everyone else and caring how they perceive you,
It's going to be really hard to lose body fat if you don't untangle your identity and your value from how much you do for others because then you will continue to feel unworthy of spending the time on you instead.

056: I've spent $44,000 in coaching & never made my ROI
I’ve spent $44,000 investing into business coaches to help me grow & make a bigger impact, and I’ve never made my investment back. This has taught me more than ever how important personal connection is and truly understanding the women I coach at a deeper level.
Every coach SHOULD have a template in how they work with their clients. But every coach should also understand that every client will deviate from that template and our job is to help them persevere through that. Your needs as a woman, wife, mother, employee, friend all need to come first when putting together a strategy.
This is why we take a mindset first approach, coach the real person and get to know you on a deeper level In the first 8 weeks. We understand you, your past, your family, work, basic human needs and how it all shows up in your day to day and what that looks like in terms of being able to achieve your goals. Missed goals doesn’t always mean lack of effort, sometimes it means we need to adjust the plan.
