Transformations by Kim

This morning feels a little special.

At 1pm today, the first Advanced Practitioner Course for PTs & Coaches begins.

As I sit here writing this, I find myself feeling excited, grateful, and a little reflective.

20 years ago, I became a personal trainer because I wanted to help people improve their lives.

What I didn't realise at the time was that the biggest transformations would have very little to do with sets, reps, calories, or meal plans.

They would come from helping people understand themselves.

Helping them understand why they do what they do.

Why they keep repeating patterns they desperately want to change.

Why emotional eating, self-sabotage, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt continue showing up despite their best intentions.

Over the years, I've become fascinated by what drives human behaviour.

Not because it's interesting.

Because it changes lives.

I've watched people spend decades fighting themselves, only to experience a breakthrough when they finally understand the deeper reason behind the behaviour.

That's what lights me up.

That's the work I feel called to do.

Not simply helping people change what they do.

Helping them understand why they do it.

Because when understanding changes, behaviour often follows.

And that's why today feels special.

This isn't just another course.

It's the beginning of a ripple effect.

Every coach who joins this program will go back to their clients with a deeper understanding of emotional eating, self-sabotage, behaviour change, and the human experience.

One conversation changes one client.

That client changes their family.

Their confidence grows.

Their relationships improve.

Their health improves.

Then they impact the people around them.

And the ripple continues.

That's what excites me most.

Not the course itself.

The people those coaches will help.

The lives those conversations will touch.

The ripple effect that starts with a single decision to learn a different way of coaching.

I truly believe this is what I've been put on this earth to do.

To help people understand themselves more deeply.

And to teach others how to do the same.

At 1pm today, that journey begins with our first cohort.

And I couldn't be more excited.

P.S. If you've been following along and thinking, "I wish I'd joined," there is still time before we begin at 1pm today.

🚨 ONLY 1 SPOT LEFT 🚨

I just checked the enrolments for the Advanced Practitioner Course for PTs & Coaches and we're down to the final spot.

Over the last few weeks, I've been reconnecting with coaches and gym owners from the five gyms I've worked in over the past 20 years.

The conversations have been fascinating.

Different gyms.

Different coaches.

Different clients.

Yet the same challenge keeps coming up.

Clients know what to do.

They have the meal plan.

They have the workouts.

They start strong.

Then something gets in the way.

Emotional eating.

Stress eating.

Self-sabotage.

Old patterns.

And coaches are left wondering what to say next.

That's the gap this course was built to fill.

Over 8 weeks, we're diving into the conversations most PTs were never taught how to have:

• Emotional eating
• Self-sabotage
• Limiting beliefs
• Identity
• Unconscious patterns
• Behaviour change
• Client breakthroughs

The gap between macros and therapy.

The place where so many coaches know their clients need support, but don't always know what to say next.

That's why I'm genuinely excited to see this first founding cohort come together.

We start THIS FRIDAY.

And there is now just **1 founding member spot remaining at $97.**

To everyone who has already enrolled, thank you. I can't wait to work with you.

And if you've been sitting quietly on the fence waiting to decide...

This is your sign.

I had a painful childhood. My father was the cause of a lot of that pain.

For years, that pain showed up as binge eating and binge drinking. I carried it through my teens and into my adult life, and for a long time, I thought that was just who I was.

Here's the image that changed things for me. Picture a house. The house is your story, what actually happened to you. You can't change the walls or the floor. But you can choose which window you're looking through.

For a long time, I only had one window. From there, all I could see was the eating, the drinking, the shame underneath both.

Eventually, I found another window in the same house. Same childhood. Same father. But from this one, I could see resourcefulness. Drive. A refusal to give up that's carried me to a world championship powerlifting stage.

Same house. Different window.
If you're carrying something painful, I'm not telling you to rush to find the silver lining. Some days you'll only see through the painful window, and that's okay too.

But when you're ready, it might be worth asking. What's another window in your house that you haven't looked through yet?
If this hit home for you, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

And if you know someone who needs to hear this today, send it their way.

In Empowered Eating for PTs and Wellness Coaches this is called reframing and you can guide your clients through this.

You're coaching well. Nutrition is dialled in. Programming is solid. And your client is STILL self-sabotaging.

Sound familiar?
GLP-1 changed the game. Most PTs still haven't caught up.

These medications reduce appetite but they don't resolve emotional eating or the fear of what happens when the medication stops.

That gap between macros and therapy? That's YOUR lane. You don't need a psychology degree to coach in it. You just need a framework.

Body fat is the storage of stories. A meal plan was never going to fix that.
I'm opening my 8-Week Advanced Practitioner Course for PTs and Coaches.

Learn how to:
- Understand why clients know what to do but don't do it
- Support GLP-1 clients with confidence
- Hold conversations that increase retention not resistance
- Use a proven framework for lasting behaviour change

8 weekly live sessions + full replay access + official certification.

One of the biggest mistakes I made as a coach was assuming emotional eating was about food.

It's not.

Food is often the solution.

The problem started years earlier.

This week inside Empowered Eating for PTs and Coaches, we explored origin stories and forgiveness work.

One trainer remembered being weighed in front of her entire volleyball team at 14 years old.

Another remembered being told to hide parts of her body.

Another realised she'd spent years scanning for danger because of childhood bullying.

Different stories.

Same outcome.

Years later, they weren't struggling because they lacked nutritional knowledge.

They were carrying shame.

And shame is heavy.

Many clients aren't fighting food.

They're carrying a suitcase full of beliefs like:

• I'm not good enough
• I'm too much
• I'm not safe to be seen
• My body is wrong

The issue isn't a lack of information.

The issue is unresolved emotion.

Sometimes the breakthrough isn't another meal plan.

It's helping someone put down a suitcase they've been carrying for 20 years.

I've just opened Founding Member access to the Advanced Practitioner Empowered Eating for PTs and Coaches Program.

Founding members receive both the Foundation Course and Advanced Practitioner Training for just $97 in exchange for feedback and a testimonial.

If you've ever felt like nutrition and training only explain part of the picture, this may be the missing piece.
