There are four areas in my approach to holistic weight loss. Weight Loss, Mindset, Emotional Health and Parenting. You can filter each of the categories below to get relevant content that will help you in the area you most need it need it right now.
Sometimes we tell ourselves we haven’t met our goals. It could be true in that moment. We might not have achieved what we set out to do, YET! Words matter. You can throw around the word “failed” and it can be true. Or you can remind yourself that it’s not over. You...
I think emotional safety is important. Do you? As humans I think we can experience physical safety and emotional safety. Both are important, but as coaches, I think we can expand our understanding of emotional safety. When I talk about emotional safety, I mean the...
Building a business is fucking hard. There I said it. A few hundred business, mindset coaches might come after me, but I’m ok with that. AND building a business is a totally different skill to being a coach. It’s OK if you are struggling with it. It’s ok to admit to...
I have a new concept. I think it’s important to remember that everything we do in our coaching conversations and our coaching practice is a choice! And there is always a SPECTRUM to choose from. Let me give you an example. I come from a school that doesn’t teach...
I want you to take a moment to imagine that your dream coaching business is inevitable. Can you conjure up this experience in your imagination (even if it’s just for a moment)? Imagine that you KNOW that this is going to come to fruition. That you are going to deliver...
I specialise in mindset. One of the things I am teaching in my new course is how to embody new thoughts. When we embody a thought, we are able to believe it in our mind and the belief resonates in our body. Embodying new thoughts can happen instantly. But often it...
Recently I was featured in a major local newspaper, actually, it was the magazine lift-out, The Good Weekend. It was an article about the coaching industry in Australia... I was interviewed for the article last year and I knew it was going to be published sometime in...
I have been thinking about some labels that we put on people. The givers, the takers. The people who are loud and those who are quiet. I’ve been pondering this. I’ve been trying to let go of the dichotomy, but I also identify as a quiet giver. And through quiet...
The end of the year is always a time of reflection. I just went back through my calendar to remind myself what life looked like at the beginning of the year. And a few words came to mind as I perused through all the months of the year. CONNECTION It’s been a year of...
Every month I have been meeting my 1:1 clients and ex-clients to discuss some advanced coaching concepts with them. They tell me that they love it. It’s an opportunity to explore new ideas and they mentioned that it’s very inclusive. Every individual is welcome and...
I’ve been showing up a lot lately and talking about hard things. And you know what? I feel a response in my nervous system. I’m afraid BUT I want to tell you that it feels different from when I was taking actions that felt out of integrity. A teacher who had a huge...
Sometimes we learn who we want to be, by being who we don’t want to be. Since I entered the coaching world, the biggest failure I have faced is when I have realised in retrospect that I haven’t been the person I want to be. It’s painful, but sometimes we have to learn...
I think conventionally coaching is a conversation between a coach and a client. But I have come to realise that it’s much more than that. So broadly it’s a relationship, it’s an exchange that people agree upon where the coach offers their client a way to create more...
Dear Coaches, I love what we do but I’ve gotta say… we can do better! I believe in the power of coaching. It’s transformed me and my life for the better in so many ways. In our fast-growing, unregulated industry, we have an opportunity to share the potency of coaching...
I just put the finishing touches on a worksheet called "How to Clean up Your Mind Before a Coaching Session". If you are an LCS coach, you know what that means... I created the worksheet a while back for myself when I was working on improving my coaching. I shared it...
This concept will help you hold the space in your coaching sessions. When we first start coaching, we are learning to listen to our client’s words without judgement. We all judge sometimes and it doesn’t serve ourself to beat ourself up, EVER. So remember to show...
What are you already doing to become your best coach self? Get honest with yourself. When I signed up for Master Coach Training at The Life Coach School I didn’t think that I would be accepted. In fact, I thought I’d have to apply at least 3 times before they would...
I’m talking about a topic that is close to my heart now, that I never used to think about – EVER! I invest in myself all the time. I buy things that help me take care of myself, that help me expand and learn, that increase my capacity to be a better human, mum,...
I’m Nicky. I’m a Master Coach. I’ve coached hundreds of people. I was a coach instructor, for the best coaching school on the planet, teaching coaches how to coach. I’m obsessed with coaching. If you want to know how to transform your life, coaching is one way to do...
Dreams do come true… This year so many of my dreams have come true. 4 years ago my husband and I had conversation about who would financially support the family. I LOVE working and yet, at the time, I didn’t believe that I could make more than $30 an hour. (By the way...
The old me would have told myself that I could finally relax and enjoy living the dream once our house is finished but…
Yesterday I chaired a Speech Competition for our Toastmasters Club. I would have felt intensely stressed and overwhelmed. But yesterday, it was different.
We often make our kids a priority and forget to take care of ourselves. I did it. I didn’t eat healthy food, exercise or take time to do things that created joy. We don’t allow ourselves to take the time we truly need.
Money and weight loss have more in common than you think. I work with women who feel out of control around food. I teach them how to feel in control around food. I help them take charge of their body and their life. The tools I teach them are the same tools you can...
You think that when you reach a certain number on the scales you will finally be happy. You will wear that dress. You will show up to events feeling confident. You think your weight and body is the key to happiness. The good news is, that’s not true. Your body and the...
You think that going on a diet is going to be the answer to losing weight. The reason you are over weight is because you eat more than your body needs. True. BUT have you ever asked yourself why you eat more than your body needs? You over eat because of what you...
You want to feel confident about your body and yet you don’t know how. Here is the answer and how you can start creating a confident mindset so you can feel body confident. It’s also the key to permanent weight loss.
There is a critical step that I teach in weight loss that might FEEL hard today but it makes the process of weight loss a whole lot easier. I teach that you have to plan ahead of time. The reasons why we must plan ahead of time is - we are human, we are wired for...
Here are some of my most popular mindset quotes for weight loss and what they mean to me. Losing weight does not make you a different person.
You must become that different person in order to lose weight.
They said no. I made a public declaration of my application to a coaching retreat in Portugal with my teacher Brooke Castillo and one of her Master Coaches Kara Loewentheil. In case you didn’t already know… I was rejected!
As our kids eyes fill with wonder and belief at Christmas time, you should do the same. Why? Because when you believe in something, it opens your eyes and mind to things you didn’t see before. Little kids see the proof of Santa because they believe. They see the evidence all around them and the excitement increases. We can do the same with weight loss!
For many years I lived in a state of almost constant stress and overwhelm. I wanted to create amazing events, amazing experiences, so that my kids would be happy. I could then tell myself that I was an amazing mum. I was so focused on creating the perfect event, that the stress and overwhelm would lead me to resent my kids who were preventing me creating the perfect event and I ended up being cranky. Can you see the irony?
The clients who come to me with an open mind, who are willing to do the work, change themselves from the inside out.
Losing the weight is totally possible.
Here are what a couple of my current clients are experiencing in my program (they are only half way through!).
I’m launching something new in my business and I want to tell you about it. I am offering one-off coaching sessions. I’m calling them “Power Sessions” because 45 minutes of coaching could change your life. Coaching is not for people who are broken. Coaching is for humans who want to grow.
If you want to get in control of your eating at these events I have some practical ideas to get you started.
It’s that time of year. We are organising Christmas – gifts, events, food, holidays and activities for the entire family.
Many people start to feel overwhelmed at this time of year. Many people are feeling a rising amount of stress, obligation, anxiety or tension.
In a rush to lose weight? Panicked and wish it happened yesterday? So many mums tell me they wish they could lose weight so they’d feel confident and successful (enough).
Here are some tips to prepare for upcoming events so you feel in control around food so you can honour your desire to eat in a way that is healthy for you.
If you want to lose weight and you want to lose it for those Christmas events. Your time is NOW! (62 days until Christmas).
Time is a construct. Notice how a day on a beach goes by in a blink of the eye, whilst siting in a dentist’s chair for 30 minutes seems to drag on forever.
If you are currently thinking that who you are is limiting what you can do in life, I want to help you see the world differently.
What do you think living “The Good Life” is? Is it something you are seeking? Maybe “The Good Life” is this elusive life that you are desperately to create so you can feel abundant.
This sounds really obvious but time and time again I have to REMIND myself too. In order to create a different result in your life, you must be willing to DO something different.
Have you heard of the marshmallow test? Pop a kid in a room by themselves. Give them one marshmallow. Tell them that they can eat it. But also tell them that if they haven’t eaten the marshmallow when you return they will be given two marshmallows to eat.
We usually think that success is incredible. We dream about being the person that achieves their dreams. But it doesn’t always look like that.
People pleasers believe they being kind but they are not being kind to themselves. When we people please we end up doing things that
Parenting is a bit like going on an aeroplane – there is always going to be turbulence, here’s tips on how you can find more peace along the way.
Do you believe that time is your most valuable asset? I do. So how can we create more time for us? It’s totally possible! Time is a mental construct.
I used to feel compelled to criticise others. I did it for years and I never knew why. I now know the reason I did it was because
