Questions Answered This Episode:
How do you stay focused on your own health and fitness goals when the people closest to you have very different and sometimes unhealthy or extreme attitudes towards food and exercise?

How can I tune out that noise and build my own balanced mindset without letting it affect me?
High protein snack ideas. Always prioritise protein in my breakfast, lunch and dinner but wondering what kind of things are good for/you enjoy snacking on for those few extra grams of protein other than yogurts - as I’d bring these for lunch anyway!
With the change of weather here in Aus and the nights getting darker I’m finding it much hardier to motivate myself to get out and exercise etc after/before work , any tips? I don’t want to undo any of my progress but the motivation is super low
When doing Bulgarian split squats or other single leg movements is it ok to set the weights down before switching legs? Sometimes my grip gives out before my legs do!

This week on The Thrive Coaching Podcast, Tara is joined by Niamh Kelleher for another packed Q&A episode. They kick things off with a real, unfiltered chat about where different clients are right now — summer mode in Ireland vs. winter lock-in mode in Australia — and why maintaining through a busy season is genuinely something to be proud of.
Then we get into your questions, and this week's lineup is a good one. We're covering how to tackle negative self-talk and the inner critic, what to do when you're sick and feel like you're falling off track, how to get yourself out of a funk, and the coaches' proudest moments in their coaching careers. We also get into how long a proper build phase actually takes, why comparing your body to someone else's genetics is a trap, and what both coaches would change about the fitness industry if they could.
If you've been wondering how to quiet the voice in your head that tears you down, whether missing sessions when you're sick actually derails your progress, or how long you should really be building before going back into a fat loss phase — we've got you this week.
