Barbell Therapy

049: These clients didn’t get results, here’s what I did about it.

Coach Kate — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 22:15:00 GMT

Most women try to push through weight loss and end up feeling stuck because they’re trying to do things out of order. In this episode of Barbell Therapy we reveal the hidden barriers that are keeping you from losing weight and keeping it off and how to finally overcome them.

I’m pulling back the curtain on why many weight loss efforts fail, including some by my own clients.

Ultimately we have to look at the root cause of what’s been holding you back. Motivation and readiness are not the same thing. Your actual capacity is not the same as what you think you SHOULD have. Healing your mindset around all of this is the KEY place to start.

If you've been frustrated by plans that work for others but not for you, this episode will change everything. It’s perfect for women tired of chasing quick fixes and ready to build lasting habits rooted in self-awareness and support. This isn’t just about weight loss, it's about reclaiming your power and becoming the confident, resilient woman you know is inside.

Whether you’ve tried every protocol without success or simply need a fresh perspective on your journey, this episode is your call to finally do the work that sticks. Because true transformation begins beneath the surface.

047: A strategy to remove the emotion out of food to lose weight.

Coach Kate — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Most people treat food as their primary source of happiness and then wonder why fat loss feels impossible. What if the secret to sustainable weight loss isn’t about eating less, but about transforming your relationship with food?

Today, we’re dispelling the myth that every meal needs to be exciting or indulgent. You’ll discover why emotional eating often masks a deeper craving for relief from stress, boredom, or loneliness and why this emotional trap keeps fat loss out of reach.

We’re going to break down the exact strategy to regain control and shift from relying on food for emotional relief to creating a sustainable, less stressful approach to eating that aligns with your body and your goals.

Check In Edition - Emotions Don't Drive Change, Data Does.

Coach Kate — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Ever feel like you're spiraling because you're not hitting your numbers? It’s so easy to forget that objective data can tell a different story.

When life throws curveballs (like a new job or a night out) it’s normal to feel off track. But those feelings don’t have to define your progress.

Using data to see your actual movement and habits shows you the real picture, not just how you feel in the moment. That’s how sustainable change happens. Your emotions are valid, but they don’t have to derail everything.

042: I had to overcome being lazy & a quitter to actually see results.

Coach Kate — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Summary -

This may come as a shock to you but while I’m a self motivated person, I’m also pretty lazy and quit things more easily than I care to admit. That’s how I know relying on saying you don’t have time or that nothing works for you or jumping into challenge after challenge is so much easier than admitting you haven’t stuck with something long enough to see sustainable changes. So let’s talk about the mindset shift you need to make to address this so you don’t get stuck in this loop over and over.

028 How to Enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner Guilt-Free

Coach Kate — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Barbell Therapy, we dive into how to approach Thanksgiving dinner with confidence and enjoyment—without guilt or shame. We explore why one day of indulging won’t derail your progress and how your mindset and habits throughout the season matter far more than a single meal.

Key Takeaways:

The Science Behind Weight Gain: One day of overeating isn’t enough to cause significant fat gain; it’s the ongoing habits that make the difference.
Mindset Shift: Enjoying Thanksgiving foods isn’t “bad.” Restricting yourself can lead to overindulgence later.
Practical Strategies: Tips like prioritizing protein, staying hydrated, and eating mindfully can help you enjoy the meal while staying aligned with your goals.
Setting Boundaries: How to manage social pressure and comments about food choices during holiday gatherings.

Whether you’re worried about falling off track or just want to enjoy your favorite dishes guilt-free, this episode gives you the tools to approach Thanksgiving with balance and freedom.

Coach Kate — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 10:00:00 GMT

On this week's episode I'm going to tell you why motivation is BULLSH!T when it comes to results. And TBH so is "discipline" because I'm tired of hearing that word be thrown around with no real context.
