The Kellie Fennell Podcast

#48: You Are Not Broken, You're Just Following A Flawed System Oct 09, 2024

This episode came off the back of a chat I had with a client of mine. She came away from our conversation realising that she was never the problem, she wasn't broken, she had just been following flawed systems.

In this episode, I first chat about this topic from a weight loss point of view. Why you've never been able to achieve long-term weight loss in the past! Not because your body is broken or because there is something wrong with you, but because you've been following flawed systems. A system that's been sold to you by people trying to make money, people with no regard for others!

I also chat about this topic on a deeper level ... surprise surprise! I talk about how society has sold us a story about how to live our lives, and what will make us happy. How we've been pushed and pressed into a mold that society considers acceptable, and why this is probably making you miserable. It's a flawed system!

The beauty of this episode is that I also show you how to change. It's not easy, it's never going to be easy, but it is worth it. Please have the courage to change ... and don't go back.

Ultimately, I want you to live the life that you want to live, and not the life that others want you to live.

Enjoy lads, and please share with someone who you think is ready to change their lives too x

#47: Paul Scanlon: The Journey To Self-Discovery Sep 04, 2024

#46: Padraig Danaher - How Our Past Experiences Shape Who We Become & How We Can Change It Aug 13, 2024

Padraig is a mental health occupational therapist, a positive psychology coach, and a trauma specialist.

Selfishly I asked him to come on to my podcast so that I could benefit from our conversation and learn from him.

The work he does around empowering people to accept their past, in order to take control of their future is phenomenal.

Our conversation did not disappoint. I loved it and could have chatted with him for hours. He is one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

I had so many lightbulb moments throughout and have so many takeaways to implement going forward. I have no doubt that you'll get so much value from Padraig, and love this episode as much as I loved recording it.

His passion for what he does is undeniable and I can't wait to have him back on for another chat!

#45: Michelle Filan - Live Your Life By Design Not By Default Jul 16, 2024

Michelle has been in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years, she's owned her own gym, won solo female entrepreneur of the year, is an online and in-person PT, and has recently just qualified as a life coach.

After the birth of her son, Michelle experienced a dramatic seizure which resulted in her having open brain surgery and spending months in a rehabilitation hospital learning how to walk, talk, read, and write again. The hairs were standing up on my skin for parts of this episode.

Michelle's traumatic experience has allowed her to reevaluate what really is important to her. Her message is that we are the authors of our own lives. We get to decide! We should make decisions based on what we want, and not what others want of us.

If this episode doesn't get you motivated to start living your life by design rather than default, I don't know what will.

We chatted about life, but also about some really important topics like:

Social media vs reality
The comparison syndrome
Negativity online
It's okay to change your mind
Failure is feedback
The 'I'll be happy when fallacy'
What happiness is for us!

I really enjoyed this chat!

#41: Only You Can Give Yourself What You Want May 22, 2024

This episode is all about creating awareness and taking control of your own life.

Your actions need to be aligned with the results you're expecting to achieve.

This episode is relevant to all areas of your life - health, fitness, body composition, career, relationships, friendships, parenthood, goals, and values.

The importance of change being difficult is a very important part of this episode too. People expecting change to be easy is usually what's holding them back from achieving their goals.

Change isn't supposed to be easy! Finding change hard is actually an indicator that you're headed in the right direction. Change is uncomfortable but it's necessary for growth.

There is so much information to take away from this episode to help you start changing your life today!

#22: Unlearning Is The Most Important Part Of Learning Aug 24, 2021

In this episode, I talk about the importance of unlearning, and how it's been the most valuable lesson I've learned over the past couple of years. Unlearning is the most underestimated, and most important part of learning.

I discuss:

- How we are all given a framework of beliefs by all of the people who we are surrounded with growing up, whether those beliefs be right or wrong.

- How the people we look up to may have passed a faulty framework on to us, how it's not their fault, but how we can and why we should change it.

- How we enter adulthood with this faulty framework, and how it can be a huge disadvantage to us.

- How so many of us prioritise the WRONG THINGS! Instead of investing in ourselves and our happiness, we invest in material possessions to try and make ourselves feel better.

- What I personally prioritise in my life.

- The 2 things that hold people back from unlearning beliefs that aren't serving them anymore, or that may be holding them back.

In this episode, I explain why we should never leave anything down to willpower. Willpower is the least reliable method of achieving any goal, whether it is a nutrition goal, a fitness goal, a work goal, or a relationship goal... DO NOT rely solely on willpower. Systems need to be put in place, a structure needs to be established, and habits need to be formed. You need to strive to become a "No Plan B" person.

This episode focuses on the many reasons that can result in an increase on the weighing scales, that have nothing to do with you gaining body fat.

In this episode I also discuss:

The difference between the terms 'body weight' and 'body fat'. Regardless of what you think, they are not the same thing!

If you are on a fat loss journey how to best use the weighing scale as a tool to measure success.

The only two ways to kick start fat loss again if you've noticed a plateau with your weight.

Why carrying more body fat, or more body muscle, results in you burning more calories at rest.

The two types of mindset approaches people can take if they don't see a shift on the weighing scales.

As of today, which is 6 weeks since Dean finished Kellie's program, he weighs 327 pounds, a total fat loss of 4 stone and 9 pounds in just 14 weeks.

What's even more impressive than the weight loss, is how Dean's mindset shifted throughout the 8 weeks, and how differently he looks at health and fitness now. He can finally enjoy his lifestyle while still losing weight and hitting his long-term goals in the process.

If you want to know how to lose weight the right way, give this episode a listen! It will be sure to pull on the heartstrings in some parts and have you in knots of laughter in others!

- We are hardwired to seek external validation, appreciation, and praise. Why we need to change this and avoid passing it on to our children.
