Meet Josie.

As a business owner and mum, Josie was constantly juggling work, family, and everything in between. She wanted to prioritise her health but felt exhausted, stuck in unhealthy habits, and didn’t want to live life constantly restricted by diets or rigid routines.

What she really needed was more energy, balance, and a lifestyle that worked for her—not against her.

Before working with me, Josie:

✅ Felt drained, with energy levels stuck at 3/10 most days.
✅ Struggled to find time for herself amidst the demands of business and family life.
✅ Wanted to feel stronger, healthier, and more in control but didn’t know where to start.

She joined my coaching program, and together we built a plan that fit her life, her schedule, and her goals — without stress, guilt, or unrealistic expectations.

The 3 Key Shifts Josie Made to Achieve Lasting Change:

1️⃣ Clarity Over Confusion – Instead of chasing quick fixes, we focused on what truly mattered: boosting energy, feeling good, and making sustainable changes that fit her lifestyle. This clarity helped increase her mindset and mental clarity from 4/10 to 9/10 by the end of the program.

2️⃣ Small Steps, Big Impact – We introduced an enjoyable movement routine, identified her energy boosters vs. drainers, and made balanced nutrition choices that reduced sugar cravings—without restriction. As a result, her fitness satisfaction jumped from 3/10 to 10/10 and she lost 5kg while building strength and vitality.

3️⃣ Mindset Over Perfection – Josie learned to prioritise herself without guilt, embrace progress over perfection, and reconnect with her family feeling present and engaged rather than depleted. Her daily happiness increased from 5/10 to 9/10, and she found herself making food choices from a place of empowerment rather than restriction.

The Results?

💡 Increased energy from 3/10 to 9/10—no longer feeling drained.
💡 Satisfaction with her fitness increased by over 230% (3/10 to 10/10).
💡 Lost 5kg while feeling stronger, more toned, and in control.
💡 Gained clarity of mind (from 4/10 to 9/10) and felt more organised.
💡 Reconnected with her family, feeling present, engaged, and joyful.
💡 Built a sustainable relationship with food, going from 9/10 to a full 10/10 confidence in her choices.

Josie didn’t just transform her health, she transformed how she felt in her life, every single day.

In Her Own Words

“Signing up to work with Monique has been one of the greatest things I have done for myself in my adult years. I think as a working mother it is only normal to become a little relaxed in taking time for your own health and wellbeing, but for me too much of this lead to a pretty massive physical and mental depletion. Monique has patiently worked with me to help me become a more energetic, healthy and happy version of myself. She has the right balance of flexibility and keeping me on track in a kind, encouraging way with a firm belief that I can and I will do it! She has taught me a diverse range of nutrition, exercise and mindfulness tools initially with a very guided approach and as I was ready, she maintained support while allowing me to implement these into my life independently. With this approach, I have been able to take the skills and habits I learnt into a life post Mon Richards Coaching.”
