Today I’m joined by my client Heather Clinger, a wife and mother of 5 currently homeschooling her children in Turkey. She is passionate about teaching and creating music and is enjoying learning how to lift heavy things. I met Heather 4 months ago when she reached out for one-on-one nutrition coaching to improve her body composition, get stronger, and build muscle. Most importantly, she wanted to FEEL her best and set an example for her kids of achieving results through hard work and committing to a sustainable process. Despite constant upheaval for her and her family during the recent earthquakes in Turkey, Heather found the mental resilience, commitment, and strength to continue her training and maintain her fitness routine to cope.Through us working together, Heather has been mastering strength training, nutrition, and mindset, both through a muscle-building phase and now a fat loss phase. But the change in her strength and body composition are just a small part of what she’s learned and the practices she’s developed that give her a resilient, positive, and sustainable outlook on life. We talk about her experience during the earthquakes, our nutrition coaching journey together, and specific lessons and strategies YOU can use to stay focused on getting results.You'll learn all about:What she struggled with before working with a coachWhy she reached out for one-on-one coachingWhat surprised her when she started working with a coachHer strength training routine and what she learned from trainingWhat happened on February 6, 2023How the earthquake affected her training routineWhy Heather didn't take a break from training despite everything going onHow working with a coach was beneficial during this crazy timeLiving the best version of you; aspiration and hard workHow Heather's habits and mindset around food have changedUnexpected benefits or changes in other areas of her lifeAdvice for someone who is hesitant about hiring a nutrition coachEpisode resources:Meet Heather in the (free) Wits & Weights communityFood logging app - MacroFactor (affiliate code WITSANDWEIGHTS to extend your free trial)Watch the episode on video here?
