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? I find myself getting frustrated by family members who either never follow through on healthy habits or take an all-or-nothing approach and judge others. 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!
What to do when you just can’t track, have no motivation to track + I keep forgetting!
Struggling with being tired
I’m struggling with how busy life is had my hen 2 weeks ago on the 8 week countdown to the wedding and there is just so much on. I’m exhausted, it’s so hard to keep going

Questions Answered This Episode:
Now that we’re halfway through the year (ahh!!) how are ye getting on with your New Year’s resolutions/goals? Any advice for the mid year check in or reset?
What performance goals are you all working on at the moment?
I struggle with self sabotage after having a weekend off track, any advice?
Are classes going to get me the results I want, I love them so I don’t want to stop but I also want to be strong and lean.
Do you coaches also prep you food in advance?
If I have a busy summer coming up but I also am not where I want to be with my fat loss results what do you recommend i 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.

This week on The Thrive Coaching Podcast, Tara and Nivo are back answering your submitted questions — and this episode is packed. We're diving deep into one of the most misunderstood phases of any fat loss journey: the transition into maintenance. Spoiler — it's not the scary part. It's actually the fun part, and we explain exactly why.
We're also getting into what separates the clients who get results from the ones who struggle, how stress and grief can legitimately derail your progress (and what to do about it), and why food guilt is not your fault — but it is something you can work on. Plus, we share our honest thoughts on Weight Watchers and Slimming World, and what years of "sins" and "points" might have done to your relationship with food.
If you've been wondering whether to keep pushing through your deficit or take a break, feeling guilty about a missed session, or trying to figure out what comes after fat loss — this one is for you.

Questions are open every Monday inside the THRIVE coaching app every monday.
