I’ve talked plenty about what menopause feels like from my side. This week, I wanted to know what it looks like from my husbands POV. Damien has spent years coaching menopausal women, as well as living through it alongside me, and it’s given him a very different perspective on what women actually go through. We talk about the changes men notice, the ones they completely miss, what women reveal in coaching that they might never say at home, and ultimately, how understanding menopause has completely changed the way Damien coaches our clients. If menopause has changed more than you ever expected - your body, your confidence, your energy - send me “PODCAST” on Instagram or Facebook and let’s chat.

From the outside, it can look like everyone else has it sorted. The career, the family, the body, the marriage, the house, the bloody matching gym set. 😂 Behind it? Most of us are spinning plates and hoping nobody notices the one we've just dropped. This week I'm getting into what life actually looks like behind the polished version - running a business, raising a family, menopause, appearance, social media, pressure and the ridiculous expectations we put on ourselves to somehow manage ALL of it. Because maybe having your shit together isn't about having everything perfectly under control. If you’re listening thinking, “Thank God it’s not just me” 😂 and you’re ready to put a little more of the focus back on yourself, send me “PODCAST” on Instagram or Facebook and let’s chat.

You see my face all over Tara Grimes Fitness. What you probably don't see is the man who's been quietly helping me build the bloody thing...😂 This week, I welcome my fabulous husband Damien to take you right back to where it all started - when I was coaching women in my local gym, how something neither of us planned became the business it is today, and the very different roles we've played along the way. Because I might be the one with the microphone… but there’s a reason I call Damien the brains behind the operation. If our community is something you'd like to be a part of, head over to my socials and DM me with the word "PODCAST" and let's get talking.

The biggest mistake women make before a holiday... ...isn't what they eat on holiday. It's what they do BEFORE it. In this episode, I'm taking you back to my own "elite dieter" days - the starving beforehand, the all-or-nothing mindset and why I spent years making holidays far harder than they ever needed to be. If you've ever convinced yourself you've "blown it" on holiday, or spent the whole trip promising yourself you'll start again when you get home... I think this conversation will change the way you think about holidays. If you've been listening and thinking, "She's talking about me," don't ignore that feeling. Head over to Instagram or Facebook (linked below), send me a DM with the word podcast and let's see exactly where you're getting stuck and how we can help.
