Today we are going to have conversation around how to eliminate self sabotage.Let's get clear on what sabotage is – it only comes from one reason, and its important to really get this because it is the foundation to understanding human behaviour, why we do what we do. We will dive into what is driving your sabotage and how to take back control - TODAY! 

I probably wouldn't have shared this a few years ago. Which is ironic AF because it would have been my own inner critic standing behind me as I hesitated to click "post" saying "Wait - don't you know they are going to find this annoying? Who are you to share so openly? You cant just go ahead and blurt out how great your work is - just calm down about it all and be cool" And I would listen. Id feel silly for being SO excited to share the work that was coming to me, through me, as me - and Id just play it cool because there was a part of me that was scared that it wasnt safe to CLAIM MY OWN GREATNESS in the work I do. There is no more of that. I invest too much of my time, energy and money into being all that I am so I can give all that I do to the women I work with. BEYOND THAT - when I play it cool, it means my offerings are watered down and what I know to be true is that they deserve to be shared in the energy they have been created: RED F'ING HOT! I absolutely believe in the power of the work that I do because Ive crafted my coaching skills over 15 years and I am working DAILY to get better so that I can be of greater service to the women I feel compelled to support. This week I signed up and paid in full to be mentored by Tony Robbins for 12 months - I AM SO EXCITED. Not just because I know this is going to pour rocket fuel on my own potential but because I know the way it is going to have a HUGE impact on the way I can show up and serve within my programs. So - with humility and respect, please find below an audio recording I created today about THE INNER CRITIC and a program I am offering which begins on October 6th. I HAVE TO SHARE THIS - because I can do ALLLLL the work in the world to create transformational experiences but what good is it if no one knows about it? I wonder what the world needs to know about what you have to offer?? Could you be a little louder too?? Who would benefit? In this recording I share a cool exercise that allows you to realise there are certain emotions or ways of being that arent actually serving you right now and that its your inner critic messing with your mind. Its short and sweet and I hope you listen in and let me know what you hear in it for yourself. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS OF THE OVERCOME YOUR INNER CRITIC PROGRAM

Today Im starting a conversation that I hope will support you in truly understanding just how powerful coming into the gym can be. Mindfulness is something I am passionate about. I used my own lived experiences, reflections and realisations to help our members understand that most of us are walking around asleep – victims of our own thinking, trapped my our own suffering. We complain, we get irritated, we are frustrated, impatient, anxious and overwhelmed.  Right? Here is how we can begin to excavate the unhelpful self talk that holds us back from FULLY stepping into our own power in the gym (and everywhere else) 

Fear can either mean - fuck everything and run OR face everything and rise. In our corner, we stand shoulder to shoulder encouraging each other to rise. But here’s the thing .. we KNOW that more often than not, it’s easier to run. On today’s episode of the Moxon Weighs In podcast we are going to vulnerably share experiences from our past that have actually held us back from being fully expressed as adults.

Life gets better when we learn to choose our battles – and it turns out most of them just aren’t worth fighting.Lets talk about how much of a game changer it is when we just decide within ourselves that we are not going to let anyone pull us into a fight - and what that looks like. 

People always want to know what we are doing and what we have planned for the future..whats next? What if thinking about what comes next is the very thing getting in your way and holding you back? What if what you are doing right now is really working for you and you have things that fulfil you and make you happy and you have love in your life and its all working and its just great…so you do more of the same. Did you know that’s a possibility? Lets start a conversation outside of the box and see what we find today...

In this episode we sit down with the legendary Damien Hennigan to chat all things fitness, wellbeing, mental health and alter egos. Damo Hennigan is an online accountability coach, owner of Crossfit Westgate - beer lover and all round great guy. This is a conversation that goes in a million different directions - nothing was off limits today. Damien shares his reflections on the fitness industry, the importance of community in supporting men access and activate the power in vulnerability and also shares his method to unlock motivation within himself before he gets under the bar for a big lift. This is a raw, captivating conversation that will hold space for you to consider the way you are holding thoughts and emotions within your body and the way it is impacting your experience of yourself and the life you are living. ...it will probably also make you feel like going to the gym too. Connect with Damo Hennigan on Instagram @damocrossfit

Giving yourself the opportunity to create an alter ego isnt about faking your motivation or replicating someone else. We believe that its about giving yourself permission to tap into aspects of yourself that havent had the opportunity to be fully expressed...yet. If you are feeling flat, unmotivated or just uninspired - everything you need is within you to turn that all around. You just might need a prompt to access and activate your alter ego - let us open up that conversation for you today.

In this episode 2 X World Champion Steve Moxon gives practical, straightforward advice to beginners as they try and overcome their own self doubt - and walk through the doors of a boxing gym. We know getting started is a battle of nerves sometimes - so sharing the process in how you learn and how to make progress is intended to allow yourself to visualise the pride you could feel within yourself ... its the ultimate motivation to get started!

Setting goals is one thing - following through despite the resistance you feel AND the opinions of people around you is another. In this episode we dont sugar coat the truth - generating change in your life is an uphill battle. It takes work. It will likely feel like a struggle before you can appreciate the view at the top. This episode opens a conversation for the person who wants change in ANY area of their life - but feels judged, misunderstood, unsupported or simply a little lost in the pursuit of what comes next for them. We understand. This is what we have come to learn and want to share with you - because change is ALWAYS worth it.

I wish there was another word for journaling – because I know it sounds lame. Give me 13 mins of your time to convince you otherwise ! Believe me when I say – journaling is badass. It takes so much courage to actually go all in and capture your thoughts on paper. To get to the source of your emotions. After all - isn’t everything we experience a projection of the mind? Oh yes friends – you know I don’t come here to have polite conversation. I want to start soul shifting, life affirming, power stance producing conversations that punch you in the guts and knock the bullshit out of you. I want this for you because I know what life was like for me before I was willing to be honest, present and truthful with myself – and whats its like for me now that I have complete freedom to explore and expand and evolve as the biggest, brightest version of myself that I can become. Its black and white. Its asleep and wake. Its your right in this life to liberate yourself from the weight of whats expected and accepted and design a life that reflects your deepest, driving desires. For many of us – we feel lost within our own lives, or we feel a nudge within us that there is more for us ..and we don’t know where to begin. Listen in for 3 different ways to approach journalling to find a style that best suits you.

Self doubt holding you back? We are in week 4 of our 10 week running program & we are hearing our members talk about the same thing on repeat - SELF DOUBT. How is it that they are all having the same experience? What can they do? We have an offering here - and if you struggle with self doubt, this episode will be the super charged pep talk you need too!

Who we are and who we choose to be is our lifes work. I believe we are given this one beautiful life to explore our own potential and embody the full experience of what it truly means to be ourselves. It sounds wonderful – but its not always easy. The questioning, confusion and loss that comes as who we once knew ourselves as sheds before we full embody the next level of ourselves can be a roller coaster to say the very least. Our own self awareness during these times has a huge impact on whether we can appreciate growth for what it is -or whether we spend our days clinging desperately to our past, overwhelmed in the present moment and terrified of our future. Workouts are a beautiful container for us to really push our limits and test our boundaries. The give us immediate insight into how we meet struggle, and what our minds do when we are faced with a challenge or uncertainty. When the going gets tough in a work out – what do you do? Who do you become in that moment? Is who you choose to be in a workout dictated by your past or driven by your future? Do you decide how to take on the challenge you face in a workout based on what you know you are capable of doing – or do you push to find out what you might not yet realise you are capable of? It’s a powerful question isn’t it? Last week I had the pleasure of Kristy of ignigting my inner warrior. She is a pro MMA fighter and womens coach living and working in Bali and we sat down to open up a conversation about getting to know the different parts of ourselves, and learning to make peace with them all. Dive in – this is a powerful conversation that will support you in getting to know yourself in a new way too. Connect with Kristy and work closely with her to ignite your inner warrior. @kristyrenaeobst

We make the mistake of thinking that if we are unhappy or unsatisfied within ourselves or in our lives that if we just leave a certain situation then we will be happy – but friend, let me tell you, I have tried this many times, in many circumstances and I have discovered the hard way, that doing that simply doesn’t work. It sounds cliché, but happiness is literally something that happens within us and our environment, situation or circumstance isn’t the biggest driving force in determining our happiness. We are. Damn it right? It would be great if we could just unplug ourselves from one circumstance and plug in somewhere else and be completely recharged with a fulfilled life. It doesn’t happen. Today we are speaking from the heart sharing experiences and reflecting on the RIGHT way to make big changes in life ...and the wrong way too.

ULTIMATE self worth experience on offer for you - but the thing is...its a really hard sell.Not because its expensive - actually, its FREE!But because its a beginners running program.STAY WITH ME - if you have never understood why on earth people would CHOOSE to run ...allow me to explain.If you have set ANY sort of goal and not followed through, what Im sharing here will help you understand the missing piece you didnt even realise you needed!

Hows your goal setting flex? Have you got a strong hustle muscle when it comes to follow through? Listen in for an honest reflection - we dont hold back sharing what we witnessed over the 21 days of fight camp that 25 members of our community just completed with Steve. This episode offers 6 things to consider that relate directly to a person's ability to set a goal and follow through. This is the audio of a live recording on The Training Room Geelong Facebook Page.

This week, I began working with Kate Maree O’Brien with the specific intention of having someone move me from what I think I need to be focusing on – to fast tracking growth by showing me the things that would actually make an immediate impact.Her impact will be seen and felt in the way I navigate my offerings in the online space early next year and this week, before we sunk our teeth into the epic task ahead – Kate took him to discuss the mindset shifts that are absolutely necessary to be a person ready for extraordinary growth within their business.She was speaking my language. I am ALL about working on mindset to build the momentum youll need to implement any strategy in any area of your life.Want to know what the biggest thing I took away from her 1 hours dialogue about exploring your inner game?The importance of choosing what you have chosen.Yes, choosing what you have chosen. Those words clicked within me. They resonated deeply. I have felt them before, many times in my life and hadn’t found a way to articulate what was going on.Choosing what you have chosen is probably the most powerful thing you can do as you walk the walk of someone that can achieve the goals they have set for themselves.If you are a person that has set certain health and fitness goals for themselves, this most definitely applies to you.It could very well be the missing link – and understanding what this means and what it needs to look like could very well be the fast track to results that you have been waiting for.Lets explore this. Are you ready? Good! Im excited to share this with you

If there is change you want to create, if there is something in your life you want but you don’t have - you aren’t falling short because you aren’t capable. It’s simply because your words and your actions don’t match. I am strong today because I cant tell you the number of times and the different ways life has tried to break me. For years my limiting belief was that nothing comes easy to me. Eventually, when you show enough resilience and you refuse to give up and you continue to give a good fight for the beautiful life that you don’t just desire but you know you deserve – the universe will stop playing you. The universe will say bitch - good game. That’s what happened for me, I asked for change in my life and I had to prove to myself and the universe that I would do whatever it took, to be the person I had to be to create the life I wanted – and now the universe and I, well now we roll together. It all starts with how you decide to start your day.

I recently re-read a book that I came across randomly in my early 20s. Its highly unlikely you have read it, but strangely – I really do recommend it! The book im talking about is Jack Canfield’s – The Success Principles. I read this book at the tender and impressionable age of 22, and even though I couldn’t full grasp the concepts at that time, it really did impact me and shifted my mindset. Over the last ten years in business, and in day to day experiences - Ive witnessed his fundamentals for success come to life before my eyes. Ive observed it in others & I have realised that Ive manifested its magic for myself. Listen in to hear how this book gave me a break through moment that changed the trajectory of my life & the journal prompts I use each evening to ensure I never forget the meaning of the lessons learned.

In this episode we hold a mirror up to ourselves and examine the ways in which self sabotage needs to be seen in order for it to stop interfering with our desire to reach the goals we set for ourselves. Hand on heart, I know I have made deep, direct impact on hundreds of people. It has never been a about squats, or running or counting macronutrients .It has been creating experiences and facilitating opportunities for individuals to explore and witness the ways in which they interfere with their own progress.When people set a goal, the moment they waiver, or lose momentum or question themselves and their ability to follow through - they want to look away. That is when I step up and hold a mirror for them.Until we are willing to look at who we are, what we are choosing and how that is forming who we are becoming - we will always get lost somewhere between setting a goal and living the experience of fulfilling that goal.For the most part, most people understand that it is necessary that we set goals.We don’t stop there. In fact, that’s when the real work really starts. Goal setting isn’t just about setting a goal - it’s about considering how we have to manage ourselves to reach that goal.The problem? We are wired for pleasure and comfort and most of us have spent most of our lives avoiding discomfort. Anytime we set a goal that will expose our full potential, it will require us to reach out of our comfort zone. To evolve and extend and be challenged.Do you see the problem? If we are wired for pleasure and comfort but required to be uncomfortable in order to reach our goals, the moment we start to make progress is the same moment we will want to retreat make into the comfort we know.

After 4 weeks and 10kg lost - Steve reflects on his first take away meal and how his body felt after indulging on his favourite fried foods. We take a deep dive into what it takes to get back on track and stay on track if you decide to eat off plan when you have been following a nutrition plan for fat loss.Listen in as we share insights into why we self sabotage & why the same approach will not always remain relevant when making progress towards your goal.A unique, powerful insight into fat loss - useful for anyone who has set a goal and not followed through, or anyone that is desperate for an approach to weight loss that doesnt involve strict, rigid guidelines and constant self loathing.
