In this episode of the Chase Life Podcast, Rachel and David Godfrey reveal the deeper reasons high-performing women struggle with consistency in health, fitness, and life. It's not your calendar. It's not your to-do list. It's your identity. If you've ever felt like no system is “the system” that will help you stay in shape year-round, or that you're always just one launch, one crisis, one deadline away from dropping your standards—this episode is your mirror. Rachel and David break down two of the biggest patterns sabotaging high achievers: The Human Doing: Tying your self-worth to how productive you are. Completion Addiction: Obsessing over getting things finished before you “deserve” to rest, eat, or live your life. They share how these patterns played out in their own careers, what really changed things, and why most people confuse perfectionism with high standards (spoiler: they're not the same thing). You'll also learn: Why your “flow state” might be bullsh*t How Rachel launched the ONYX app without burning out The one concept that separates A-players from overwhelmed overachievers Parenting, productivity, and finding the sweet spot between ambition and presence Why most people delay their goals in the name of being "smart"... and just end up stuck This episode is for the woman who's done with the excuses, the stress addiction, and the all-or-nothing mindset—and is ready to win across every area of life.
In this powerhouse crossover episode of The Chase Life Podcast and The Mastery Podcast, Rachel Godfrey and Mark Coles unite to deliver an unfiltered, real-world conversation on what it truly takes to thrive in business, body, and life. Together, they pull back the curtain on nearly four decades of combined experience in high performance coaching and entrepreneurship—sharing personal stories, professional pivots, and the behind-the-scenes struggles no one talks about.
In this episode of The Chase Life Podcast, Rachel and David break down perfectionism, why high achievers fall into its trap, and how it's secretly sabotaging your success in business, health, and life. They cover: Why perfectionism is NOT high standards (and why it's actually the lowest standard) How perfectionism keeps you stuck in self-doubt, stress, and overwork The ‘campaign lifestyle' trap that causes burnout & inconsistency How perfectionists sabotage their health, weight loss, and body goals The difference between high-achievers who thrive and those who burn out How to raise your standards WITHOUT self-sabotage Why identity shifts are the key to lasting transformation The practical mindset shifts to overcome perfectionism for good If you're constantly feeling like you're falling behind, not doing enough, or stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle, this episode is for you.

Many trainers and coaches in the fitness, weight loss and dieting space will sell you the dream of being able to lose weight without giving up your favourite foods and wine. This is unfortunately a recipe for failure, frustration, and misery in the long term. In this episode we discuss the claims and arguments you'll frequently hear, why these claims only work short term, and the physiological and psychological reasons why they fail long term. We also discuss why developing emotional fitness and emotional freedom is the path to weight loss that lasts and even feels effortless – without having to suffer from FOMO ever again.

In this episode, we're diving into the incredible story of Karen – a top-tier expert witness with an extraordinary career and a lifestyle that many would envy. On the outside, everything seemed perfect... but behind the success, Karen was struggling with self-judgment, self-punishment, and a deep sense of being lost. Like so many high achievers, she was constantly striving for something, yet nothing ever seemed to fill the void. But here's the twist: just a few months later, Karen's life is completely unrecognizable. She's moved to a new country, landed a new job, and feels more fulfilled and at peace than ever before. Oh, and by the way – she's also dropped two dress sizes…without even trying! In this episode, Karen opens up about the profound epiphanies that turned everything around for her.

Planning ahead and being organised with food is a non-negotiable if you want to be in shape year-round. However, this is something a surprising number of people struggle with. This becomes even more important for the typical high achiever who is already time poor, stressed, frequently has the day run away from them, and is already on the verge of decision fatigue. As James Clear said, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” In this episode we discuss how to build a system that is as easy and automated as possible, freeing up your brain space, whilst giving you the consistency you need to succeed in your body and health goals, and be in shape year-round, regardless of how busy or stressful work and life become. We also dive deep into the underlying psychology, and how to overcome the blockages, resistance, and self-sabotage mechanisms that prevent people from being able to build a reliable system.

Identity is one of the most important elements in weight loss. It means the difference between temporary weight loss followed by rebound – and lasting weight loss that completely transforms your life. Over the long term, all your habitual thoughts, feelings and behaviours will come into alignment with your sense of identity. Which is why so many people can force behaviour change in the short term, but it doesn't last long term. In this episode we dive deep into identity and identity change, including: Why it doesn't take 66 days to form a habit, and why mindless repetition on its own doesn't form lasting habits. Why identity change needs to precede, or at the very least coincide, with behaviour change. Why most personal development and self help backfires and only reinforces inadequacy and not feeling good enough. How identity change makes weight loss go from feeling like a fight, to feeling almost effortless, and how it eliminates resistance, internal conflicts and self sabotage.

Today we discuss how to overcome burnout & exhaustion, and do a full 360 on life, whilst still fulfilling on your commitments and responsibilities. We cover a broad range of topics including: Whether you take the nuclear option and change your life wholesale, or take smaller, incremental changes. Easy changes that won't take any extra time out of your schedule. How nutrition and sleep habits enhance energy, resilience and cognitive function. How stepping out of your masculine and into your feminine energy will give you back a greater level of control. How to identify and navigate the difference between urgent tasks that are screaming for your attention, and important tasks that make global changes on your life. How the typical traits of high achievers and over achievers keep them stuck in stress & overwhelm and unable to escape. The real cause for burnout – that most high achievers are oblivious to – and how & when to address these underlying mechanisms for LASTING change. CONNECT WITH US!

Believe it or not, we like rapid weight loss programmes to kick start things off… but not the way most people do them. In this episode, we discuss how to lose weight quickly and healthily without the typical and predictable problems of the past… … and even more importantly, we lay out how to what's required to take that initial momentum, and turn it into a lifelong, life changing transformation of being in amazing shape year round and feeling confident, energised, and full of life.

Today's episode takes an unexpected turn! We start by addressing the question, “I'm 40, I've got a 5 year old son, I'm lifting weights 3 days a week, I'm on 1700 kcal and I'm not losing fat” We end up covering the big picture of fat loss and working through 4 levels of blindspots that keep people stuck… ending with spirituality, energy & frequency! We introduce our approach and philosophy when it comes to energy work, and how we cannot separate… … the practical & scientific components of fat loss from mindset work & personal development… … which in turn cannot be separated from energy & frequency. This is a fascinating topic and conversation which both reveals some important “aha's” and breakthroughs in what keeps so many people stuck in their weight loss efforts, and opens up the next level of personal growth, fulfilment and living an extraordinary life. *** CONNECT WITH US! *** At Chase Life Consulting our mission is to empower half a million female entrepreneurs and executives globally to embrace and fulfil their true potential, unapologetically.

An extremely common experience for many high achievers is a feeling of, “is this it?!” You've dedicated yourself to excellence and high achievement… And yet something is missing, but you can't quite put your finger on it. You thought that you'd be happy and fulfilled by now. But every goal you reach gives you a temporary high for a day, and then you're straight back to feeling the same way again. It's starting to feel like Groundhog Day. Over time you become more and more disillusioned, frustrated, and even lost. You thought the solution was more striving & more success, but it's not working. At the same time, you know the solution isn't to settle for less. What's called for is a complete transformation in how you “do life”. Episode 102 explains exactly what's going on and what to address to be successful in all areas of life simultaneously – including health, wealth & love… … AND… Truly grateful, happy, and fulfilled every step of the way. In this episode, Rachel & David discuss: The 2 primary causes of mindless striving. How to evolve from high achiever to peak performer and spend the majority of your time in a state of flow and ease, instead of stress & tension. How to get more done in less time with less stress. How to retain all the benefits of being a high achiever, including ambition, high standards, high work ethic, and high tolerance for pain, without being held back by chronic stress & overwhelm. How to eliminate the self-sabotage that comes from internal conflicts and feeling like you're torn in two directions. How to build a life of alignment so that all areas of your life work together, instead of conflicting with each other, or competing for your time, attention, and energy. How to achieve the apparent paradox between striving for success, and being happy, content, grateful and present. CONNECT WITH US!

When you're a successful female entrepreneur or executive, it's easy to feel like nobody understands you… … the ambition, the relentless pursuit of excellence, the drive, work ethic, pressure, demands, why you take on so much and how you're able to get so much done. Which, if at the same time, you've been struggling with your body, weight, or health habits, it's understandable that you'd think… “I'm intelligent, driven & hard working, why the hell can't I get a grip on my body & weight issues?!” Episode 101 explains why. In this episode Rachel & David discuss: The traits of high achievers Why nothing has worked for you in the past Why what got you here, won't get you there The complete picture of weight loss, and where nutrition, fitness & lifestyle fit within that big picture Why the underlying cause of stress & overwhelm is the same underlying cause of body and weight issues How EQ leads IQ The real reason for self sabotage, internal conflicts and why we make decisions that we later regret What female high achievers over 35 need to prioritise to lose weight & stay in shape year round without ever rebounding again, and without having to sacrifice their business or career – even if they've been struggling for years ACCESS FREE TRAINING: The 3 Step Strategy Female Entrepreneurs & Executives Need To Get Lean, Boost Their Energy & Build A Confident Healthy Body & Brain: https://scale.chaselifeconsulting.com/lmresults ************** CONNECT WITH US!

In today's episode, David & Rachel discuss: Why nutrition & exercise – whilst vital – are not the REAL problem Why yet another diet plan, workout plan, or mindlessly following a routine will not create a successful long term habit What is really required to create lasting personal transformation Why information doesn't not create transformation How we use “information gathering mode” to avoid making a commitment, facing our fears, and addressing the real problem Why struggling with work-life and work-health balance is first and foremost a mindset issue, and not a lack of time management, systems, leaders, or software secrets How to end years of yo-yo dieting, self-sabotage, and struggling with body, food & weight issues, once and for all.

Leadership is vital skill for any entrepreneur, but it's also a vital life skill for everybody. If you don't lead your own life, you'll drift and end up with a life by default instead of a life by design. In entrepreneurship – as in life – we encounter difficult, scary, and risky decisions. We come face to face with the TRUE nature of life which is uncertainty. Many people really struggle to handle uncertainty… They want to predict the unpredictable & control the uncontrollable… They want guarantees and protection that bad things, painful things, or unwanted things will NEVER happen… They want to avoid failure… at ALL costs… They agonise over making the RIGHT decision… They're terrified of making the WRONG decision… A poor relationship with uncertainty is a recipe for over analysing, over planning, worry, anxiety, indecision, hesitation, and procrastination. In this episode David & Rachel discuss what it takes to be confident, bold and decisive in the face of uncertainty and change… WITHOUT being reckless. How are we able to make strong decisions and move forwards with certainty, confidence, and conviction, when we don't have guarantees that we've made the “right” decision?! We deconstruct Rachel's mindset and discuss some of the ways that she has “won” and “lost”, and the life & business lessons learned along the way. ................................. CONNECT WITH US!

After 35, your body changes. You have physiological considerations that cannot be ignored. Changes in your body - as a result of age, or working in a high pressure environment for many years, or starting a family. Changes such as hormonal changes, perimenopause or approaching perimenopause, systemic imbalances from chronic stress such as adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, or issues with your gut health. The diet and exercise games you used to play no longer work. But this is the easy part. In this episode of The Chase Life Podcast, we welcome back special guest Esther Blum on how to make menopause your bitch! Esther has been a trailblazer, disrupting the industry with her no BS and passionate approach to Women's Health, HRT and Nutrition for women to THRIVE in their 40s and beyond. Rachel and Esther discuss the #1 roadblock most women over 35 are missing or not addressing to take control of their health and happiness and Esther courageously shares her story for the first time publicly, and what drives her to passionately lead the way in women's health, hormones and happiness. ..................................

Most people will never understand the mindset, or the lives of high achievers. They don't get the drive, the work ethic, or how you're able to get so much done. They also don't understand how time poor you are. Of course, “I don't have time” is indeed a cheap excuse. However, we can't ignore the fact that you really are time poor. We also can't ignore the fact that you consistently handle more problems, responsibility, uncertainty, and high level decisions than most people could fathom on a daily basis. Which means that you're stressed and frequently on the verge of decision fatigue a lot of the time. Furthermore, if you're beyond your mid 30s, your physiology and hormones are already changing. All this must be catered for if you want to lose weight and optimise your physical health and mental performance permanently, instead of yo-yoing in and out of shape. In this episode we provide a simple framework for what to prioritise, and in what order, if you want to lose weight and optimise your physical health and mental performance, without having to sacrifice your career or your hard-earned reputation. We also point out some of the most important blindspots that are consistently… predictably… and yet unnecessarily keeping high achieving women who are successful in their careers, frustrated, disheartened, and UNsuccessful with their body and health habits. This episode contains invaluable information which, if implemented, will end years of struggle and frustration, and allow you to be as successful with your body and health as you are in your career. .................................

A huge area of confusion for so many women when it comes to weight loss and fat loss is the subject of self love and self acceptance. We frequently speak to two different groups of people, both of whom are confused. The first group says, “If I learn to love and accept myself as I am, I'll just end up lowering my standards and settling. If I accept my body as it is, and my eating habits as they are, then I won't be motivated to change.” The second group says, “I'm scared to pursue a weight loss goal because it feels like I'm punishing myself. I feel called to be much more loving to my body and myself.” Both groups are confused, and both groups are wrong. Which is why both groups constantly suffer with internal conflicts where part of them wants one thing, part of them wants another thing, they feel torn in two directions, and they're constantly disappointed and frustrated. In this episode we dive deep into the role of self worth and self acceptance in weight loss, and cover all of the following in detail: The structure of motivation and which forms are destructive and which forms are useful. The end result of using self judgement as motivation to lose weight, and why it backfires every time. Why self acceptance gives you the emotional freedom to chase the right things for the right reasons, and… Why self acceptance gives you the emotional stability to handle the ups and downs without overreacting, getting disheartened, or losing motivation. The difference between healthy eating as a form of punishment and healthy eating as a form of self love. How to raise your kids with clear values and boundaries around food, without giving them an eating disorder. Why self discipline is not self punishment. Is it wrong to value aesthetics, and the role of aesthetics in your overall motivation. If you're serious about losing weight but have found yourself struggling for years, this episode will be invaluable in establishing the foundations you need to eliminate self sabotage and rebound and make a life-long change. .................................

One of the most powerful weight loss “secrets” is to switch your mindset from… “What's the fastest way to get back on track?” …to… “How do I maintain the most basic consistency when life is at its most stressful?” One of the worst false assumptions people make in weight loss, is when they believe that if they go all in to getting in shape as quickly as possible, that they will somehow have some magical momentum that keeps them in shape when the next season of chaos and stress comes along. We're about to see millions of people make this mistake in January. Instead, the magical formula is to develop a system that enables you to maintain the absolute basics of healthy eating, even when life is at its most stressful, chaotic and unpredictable. This episode explains exactly how to do that. We cover a lot of ground including: Binge eating, emotional eating, compulsive eating, stress eating, grazing, snacking & mindless eating. The minimal effective dose we recommend to our clients. How we've had our perception of “normal” distorted by marketing, advertising, and modern culture.

Successful, lasting fat loss is so much more than “eat less & exercise more”. If you're the archetypal “high achiever” who is successful in their business or career, but struggled for years with your weight and your body, you'll be painfully aware that there has to be more to it than that! It's just that you feel like you've tried everything, you're overwhelmed with information, everything seems contradictory, and you don't know where to start. Episode 093 will get you started down the right path. In this episode, Rachel and David discuss: What it really takes to change your body forever. Why you can't transform your body long term without upgrading your life to the next level. How to transform and upgrade your sense of identity. How to eliminate FOMO. What it takes to go from feeling like you're on a “diet” to falling in love with your new lifestyle. When it's appropriate to temporarily take a more aggressive approach. How to handle peer pressure. What your new lifestyle means for your social life. How alcohol affects your body. Eliminating physical cravings and emotional cravings around food. How to get to “food freedom” where food no longer controls you or your thoughts. .................................. CONNECT WITH US!

Personal integrity is one of the most important foundations in developing the ability to execute and follow through on a massive scale. Integrity is doing what you said you were going to do - delivering on your promises. Personal integrity is delivering on your promises to yourself. With a foundation of personal integrity, you eliminate overthinking, you develop massive self belief, self trust and self confidence, and you back yourself to swing for the fences. The problem is that most people have conflicting promises. They don't know how to manage when 2 things they said they were “definitely” going to do, come into conflict with each other. Or how to prevent this from happening in the first place. In this episode, Rachel and David discuss the nature and importance of Personal Integrity, and how to build it into your internal operating system. _____________________ WORK WITH US www.ChaseLifeConsulting.com Strategic Mindset & Performance Consulting: Ending Chronic Stress, Overwhelm & Burnout and Accelerating Freedom In Multi 6-7+ Figure Entrepreneurs and Experienced Professionals.

You're inundated with responsibilities… You have a demanding career or business… You navigate high pressure, high stakes situations on a regular basis… You've always got at least 15 different plates that you're spinning at any given time – not just professionally, but quite possibly in your personal and home life as well. However, the REAL reason for constant overwhelm that never seems to go away is within us – the programmes that are running at the subconscious level – completely outside of our awareness. If we are to succeed in ending overwhelm and breaking the cycle, we need to address: 1. The REAL problem, with 2. A REAL solution Business strategy solutions such as time management, software solutions, planning and scheduling, hiring staff, delegating and team management are all important. But they haven't done much to solve your debilitating stress because they are not addressing 1. The REAL problem. Equally, personal development and self-care solutions such as meditation, yoga, breathwork, self-hypnosis, or journaling - whilst also valuable tools and techniques - haven't done much to solve the problem either. Why? Because they are not addressing 2. A REAL solution. They're not addressing the SOURCE of the problem. They're just taking the edge off the surface level symptoms. In this episode, David and Rachel explain what is really going on at the subconscious level, and how to rewire your brain in a way that makes a LASTING change. In a way that means… You're able to take everything in your stride… You get more done in less time… You develop phenomenal resilience and endurance… You're able to keep going without burning out… You reclaim control of your mind… You reclaim control of your life… You reclaim control of your health - mental and physical… You even reclaim control of your personal time… And you become the leader that both your professional and personal life need you to be. ____________________________ WORK WITH US www.ChaseLifeConsulting.com Strategic Mindset & Performance Consulting: Ending Chronic Stress, Overwhelm & Burnout and Accelerating Freedom In Multi 6-7+ Figure Entrepreneurs and Experienced Professionals.

Perfectionism is one of the common, and one of the most debilitating sources of chronic stress, overwhelm and burnout. However, many perfectionists are completely oblivious to the fact that they struggle with perfectionism. Perfectionism is NOT the same as having high standards. Perfectionism is fear and stress based. High standards are outcome and purpose based. At the surface level, perfectionism is when you can't stop looking for what's not good enough – in your work, in your decisions, and even in yourself. You keep looking for the flaws, the inadequacies, what you've missed or overlooked, what other people could dislike, disagree with, or criticise. So nothing you ever do feels good enough, tasks take 10X longer than they need to, and you train your brain to hate your work! Once you become aware of the pattern, overcoming perfectionism can feel like an insurmountable mountain to climb. In fact, overcoming perfectionism can be surprisingly fast when you understand what's REALLY going on. Episode 87 dives into the subconscious drivers of perfectionism, and how to go from a stressed, overwhelmed perfectionist, to a calm, confident and relaxed high performer with exceptional personal standards. ______________________________ www.ChaseLifeConsulting.com Strategic Mindset & Performance Consulting: Accelerating Business Growth for Experienced Entrepreneurs If you have any questions for the podcast please send them to: Rachel@ChaseLifeConsulting.com

The workplace can be a really demanding, ruthless, even cutthroat environment for so many reasons… • Perhaps you're surrounded by office politics… • You may have a particularly demanding boss known for “drive-bys” or last minute decisions that suddenly triple your workload… • Your business is in an industry that has a culture of working long hours, working evenings and working weekends … • Maybe you work in an environment where the pressure and the stakes are high such as investment bankers who could lose millions in one bad trade, or surgeons who literally have people's lives in their hands… You probably have a lot of demands and responsibilities screaming for your attention and pulling you in different directions. However, why is it that some people can thrive in that type of environment and others get burnt out? You could just bury your head in the sand, throw your hands up and resign yourself to, “some people are just born that way!” Or you could look a little deeper. The truth is that burnout is 100% the result of YOUR conditioning - and the inevitable behaviours and habits that stem from that conditioning. Episode 85 dives into the hidden causes of stress, overwhelm and burnout, why nothing you've tried so far has worked, and what to do if you want complete freedom from burnout once and for all. ______________________________________ www.ChaseLifeConsulting.com Strategic Mindset & Performance Consulting: Accelerating Business Growth for Experienced Entrepreneurs If you have any questions for the podcast please send them to: Rachel@ChaseLifeConsulting.com

We drill ourselves into the ground, going all out in work, then partying or escaping on holiday to blow off steam, or else going all in on our fitness and health goals, essentially running our life like one big campaign. Work or life is crazy and we think we just need to knuckle down and get the thing done because there's light at the end of the tunnel and then finally we can relax. We can pull this nonsense off in our early 20's and 30's, but eventually we pay a heavy price, often in the realm of health issues, burnout, or to the detriment of our relationships. In this episode David and Rachel discuss: - What the campaign lifestyle is and what really lies at its root - How it's rewarded both internally and externally and how to step away from this mentality - Why hustling is NOT necessarily a bad thing and the importance of learning how to grind early on - How to cultivate balance while actually INCREASING performance - What putting a boundary in place looks like at a practical level even for someone with a very high degree of responsibility - The difference between worrying and problem solving and how to take extreme self ownership without any of the self judgement Personal transformation can, and in fact SHOULD be fast. What got you here won't necessarily get you there. In order to break through glass ceilings in any area of your life, sometimes it's necessary to overhaul your entire approach.

When it comes to money and wealth creation, women are unable to easily access relevant, smart, empowering information and be able to understand what to do with their finances themselves. Essentially we've created this whole ecosystem of advisors and bankers and they're all predominantly men and they speak predominantly to men and while there's such an amazing amount of information, a lot of it is technical and very focused, and finding how to approach investing and portfolio management yourself is almost impossible. Alison Simmons, investment banker and founder of F3 Collective is here to change all that! In this episode Rachel and Alison discuss: - How Alison went from a rough and ready male dominated trading floor to launching F3 Collective and what that final push or tipping point was - The difference between rich versus wealthy - Why so many women, often with 6-7 figure businesses and a ton of responsibility, abdicate financial responsibility - Why digging into how you feel about money is fundamental to making progress - Principles she has in place for herself and for her clients and her top 4-5 core money making/money saving/wealth creation principles - Management styles, radical authenticity and how Alison's leadership style and approach has evolved over the years especially in a traditionally male dominated world such as banking - Why being a mum is an ASSET to leadership and why a room full of traders is frighteningly close to a room full of toddlers! - The energy of money and how money needs to flow in order to grow The more knowledge you have the more opportunities you see the more confident you become in taking those opportunities. This is what ultimately leads to freedom.

Grab a glass of wine, a cup of coffee or hell, an espresso martini and pull up a chair, because you definitely don't want to miss this one! Ep 79 of the Chase Life Podcast sees Rachel welcome good friend, hormone and skincare specialist Emma Melhuish to discuss the link between hormones, skincare, and what we can be doing as 35 + year old females to improve our skin and particularly the skin on our face. The truth is, as women, a lot of weird stuff starts to happen in our bodies after age 35. Our moods start to change, our hormones take a nosedive, and our skin seems to go full out rogue on us. Consequently, a lot of us are left with the sensation of, “am I just losing my mind??” accompanied by the sinking and very real preoccupation of a nightmarish return to pre-adolescent acne and all that that entails. However, no need to panic… help is on its way! In this episode Rachel and Emma discuss: -The effect of going on the pill early in life and the repercussions of that as you enter into perimenopause…and what you can do to mitigate the consequences. -How long it takes to arrive at a postmenopausal state hormonally. -Diet and lifestyle and how that DIRECTLY affects not only PMS but your hormones. -How to optimize lifestyle first, and when to look for alternative help. -The key pillars of what to do when your skin, hormones, and gut are out of whack, and the top 4-5 protocols Emma has someone do before she prescribes any sort of skincare treatment. -The role of emotional fitness in balancing overall hormonal health and protecting your energy. -The best and worst kind of exercise for your hormonal health and skin…and where most women go wrong. -Emma's own personal journey and challenges, her battles with anxiety and rampant mood swings, and why she finally decided to go down the route of HRT. -Emma's step by step approach to balancing your hormones, her top products for skincare for any skin type, and why it's about looking good for your age… not like you're 20! Episode 79 is chock full of actionable, relatable and useful takeaways that will have you both simultaneously laughing and frantically taking notes. An episode on the pillars of keeping you young, vibrant, and energetic… for life! ..................................
The money is good… life is not! You're stressed, overwhelmed and largely functioning on autopilot. At the start of your career you launched yourself into work. You were driven, hard working and took responsibility. Some of that drive came from ambition. However, some of that drive – unbeknownst to you – is also self destructive. The upside of these traits is that they've gotten you this far, and have contributed to your career and financial success. The downside is that they keep you stuck below a glass ceiling that you can't break through. What got you “here” won't get you “there”. Not only that, but they are the insidious cause of all your chronic stress and overwhelm, and it's bleeding into and sabotaging your personal life. You find yourself stuck in survival mode more and more frequently. Which means that you have less and less time, space or energy to build a life by design. And if you don't build a life by design you end up with a life by default. This episode is a huge revelation for so many stressed out professionals and business owners who are committed to excellence, but who feel overwhelmed, stuck, and frustrated. .......................
A lot of women over the age of 35, 45, 50 and beyond, are in hormonal hell. They're struggling with peri menopause and menopause and don't know where to start or who to turn to. Perhaps they go to their local GP who fobs them off with, “Good luck, it is what it is", or worse yet, get handed the birth control pill and sent off on their merry way. Except…The menopause is not a birth control deficiency!! So off they go and continue struggling with their intolerable symptoms. They feel absolutely crap, develop a pot belly out of nowhere, find themselves miserable and crying for no reason, shout at their husband with no logical cause only to head to bed and toss and turn with hot flash after hot flash waking up in a pool of soaked sheets wondering if they can get away with falling back asleep or if they have to get up and change the damn sheets for the 4th time this week!! Truth be told, the menopause is an utter minefield and is to date, so poorly managed. But help is on its way! Episode 77 of the Chase Life podcast welcomes special guest Esther Blum, Integrative Dietitian, 4 time best seller and author of “See Ya Later Ovulator!”, who assures us that yes, you can master your menopause with nutrition, exercise, gut health, and a large dose of self-advocacy. In this episode Rachel and Esther discuss: - Esther's journey and how she went from writing Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous to writing a book on the menopause. - How you can be perimenopausal and be on a full regiment of hormone replacement and have very little to no side effects. - The importance of self advocacy, and why you have to take your health into your own hands. - Why “test don't guess” is Esther's mantra...and where most doctors go wrong. - Esther's 3 types of testing. - The role of nutrition, resistance training and lifestyle factors in managing our hormones. - How chronic stress wreaks havoc on our hormones and strategies to combat this. - How alcohol and caffeine affects us and the shocking effect of alcohol on estrogen. - Supplements and the 6 most important kinds to take if you are perimenopausal. - Why so many women go through major thyroid issues in the menopause. - The role of state management in managing symptoms. - HRT and dispelling the myth that HRT “causes breast cancer and the risk outweighs the benefit”. - The difference between pharmaceutical hormones, bioidentical hormones, and creams, patches and pellets. - Why you cannot out-hormone your lifestyle choices, why it's really important to optimize systems first, and why not everyone that comes to Esther can start on hormones. Episode 77 of the Chase Life podcast answers ALL possible questions you have on peri menopause and menopause…and more! Highly informative, entertaining, and insanely liberating as you realise not only are you not losing your mind and your body… but help and solutions are out there!

Most people think, if I just force myself to do the things that I need to do I'll become the person I want to become just through sheer grit and repetition of those behaviours. So we knuckle down, grin (or not) and bear it, yet wonder why at the end of the day we either fail in our attempts at change, or worse still, achieve success only to be met with an overwhelmingly empty and sinking sensation of “oh, is that it….?!” Under these kinds of circumstances it's easy to see how people lose motivation and inspiration…and who could blame them? After all, if, at the end of the process, you're still the very same person with the same thoughts and feelings as you were at the very beginning, then what exactly is the point of it all in the first place? Episode 76 with David Godfrey sheds light on the glaring flaw in the system and delves into why, when we're talking true and lasting transformation, changing behaviours is only part of the picture. Find out: -The number one most important aspect for you to address when it comes to success (be it body, life, finances, or relationships), that so many people miss. -The 3 things that form change and the critical error most people make when it comes to change. -Why focusing on strategy and “what do I need to do to get the thing?” is the exact wrong approach and what to do instead. -Why you attract relationships or circumstances that you don't want (despite thinking you're doing everything right). -What causes that horrible sense of emptiness despite achieving massive success and more importantly, how to avoid falling into this trap. -Why repetition of behaviours and forcing yourself to do the things that you need to do isn't sufficient for long term success. -What it takes to let go of your coping mechanisms and personal limitations once and for all. -How to free yourself from showing up as who you think you should be and choosing who you're stepping into from a place of inspiration and excitement, not fear and obligation. When it comes to transformation, of course there are things we need to do that are part of health and well-being, of financial success, of finding a great partner or cultivating a great relationship and sure, there are behaviours that are conducive to those things. However, unless we dive deeper and transform who we are at our core, true change will forever be out of our reach. Episode 76 of the Chase Life podcast unlocks the keys and shows you the how.

One of the core elements of what we do at Chase Life is helping people become more resilient, confident and capable of handling any circumstance or situation that life throws at them. At some point shit is going to hit the fan. That's just life. And to have the skills to manage it when it does is so important to live a full and happy life. This is where emotional fitness comes in. But… what exactly is emotional fitness? Is it being stoic? Unresponsive? Unexpressive? And how do you know the difference between emotional fitness and blocking out or suppressing your emotions? Episode 75 of the Chase life podcast with Rachel and David Godfrey addresses and answers that very question! -Learn how and what we define as emotional fitness. -Learn why emotional fitness is not being stoic or emotionally unavailable. -The key difference between emotional fitness and suppression and where suppression comes from in the first place. -The effect of trauma on the body, and how emotional suppression can lead to not only behavioural but physical diseases. -The power of compassion and understanding in cultivating emotional fitness. -The 2 big components of emotional fitness and why you're not a powerless pawn being pushed and pulled around by life, circumstances and other people. -Why emotional fitness is a skill and a process and why the more emotionally fit you are, the more vulnerable, open, and present you can be, the more successful you become AND the happier you become. Episode 75 is bursting with revelations and “ah ha!” moments that bring clarity to learning how to manage your emotions and your state, which, quite frankly, will take every single aspect of your life to the next level.

“What if I'm just meant to be this way?” “What if nothing works for me?” “What if… at the end of the day… I'm just not good enough?” This episode of The Chase Life Podcast is all about limiting beliefs. Beliefs will make or break your weight loss journey, financial journey, or relationship journey. If deep down, you don't truly believe that this is possible for you, of course you'll never get there. But how do you shake those nagging thoughts, doubts or fears when you've been struggling for years and feel like you've tried everything? And even more importantly, how do you create unshakeable belief that something is possible… before you even prove to yourself that it's possible? This episode explains precisely how to destroy the foundations of any limiting belief so that it completely loses credibility and simply dissolves into insignificance… … AND the one thing you need to fully back yourself, believe in yourself and become relentless and unstoppable.

Most people who start a diet, very quickly start to feel a sense of pressure, stress, and OBLIGATION with the diet. They have a whole list of “should's”: “I SHOULD do this, and I SHOULDN'T do that” “I HAVE to do this… and I CAN'T do that” Which tells us that they don't WANT to change their diet or their lifestyle… they just feel like they SHOULD, because if they don't they're stuck feeling something negative – usually inadequacy or insecurity. As we often tell people, the only way fat loss lasts long term is when you sincerely fall in love with the process of healthy living. This episode dives into the three most important factors that make a diet feel like you're “on a diet” instead of it being a lifestyle you love and embrace: 1. How to shift from OBLIGATION to CHOICE 2. Matching the method with the outcome 3. Shifting from a campaign style lifestyle to a more strategic approach.

A big misconception is that eliminating binge eating, emotional eating, or a disordered relationship with food, and establishing LASTING food freedom is at odds with being able to prioritise the behaviours necessary to be lean, fit and healthy are at odds with each other. So many people feel trapped between approaches that feel like they're excessively restrictive and controlled, versus creating a lifestyle that makes them feel calm and relaxed around food. David addresses this topic in detail, and explains why, in truth they work synergistically together. He explains why so much of what it taught in both the dieting industry and the health & fitness industry are exacerbating struggles with food such as binge eating, emotional eating, compulsive eating, and mindless eating. He then goes on to explain how to achieve your physical goals, in a way that works WITH your psychology, instead of against it, AND in a way that eliminates perfectionism and the all or nothing mindset.

Confidence is the absolute foundation to creating the life that you love. Except…What's behind real self confidence? And more importantly, how do you create it?!! The thing is… There's a ton of bs and happy flower woo woo out there around “how to be more self confident”, but these approaches hardly, if ever, work long term. Approaches like “fake it till you make it” and “be it until you see it” are all well and good but are only ONE part of the picture. Episode 65 cuts through the fluff and puff and delves straight into the core foundation of self confidence, the role of self-worth and what that looks and FEELS like in action, the 2 biggest mistakes most people make that keeps them stuck in low self confidence and imposter syndrome, and why true self confidence is both an inside-out AND an outside-in job.

Episode 65, shows you exactly what that action entails. If you want to learn how to be fully present, have UNSTOPPABLE self-confidence, make ballsy decisions, and develop the courage to behave in new ways that actually align with your new sense of identity… Episode 65 of the Chase Life podcast with Rachel Godfrey is one episode you DON'T want to miss.
