83. Steph Gaudreau: Building Confidence Through Strength and Space

“I really believe that we have so many amazing gifts and talents and things to share with the world, but if we don’t feel good in our body it’s really hard to share with people.” 

Steph Gaudreau is a Nutritional Therapy Consultant, weightlifting and mindset coach. She’s also the highly coveted author of the brand new book, “The Core 4”, and passionate about helping women build their inner and outer strength so they can take up more space. 

Through her ‘Core 4’ teachings, Steph empowers women to ditch their diets, the scales, and exercise as a form of punishment. Her work is powerful, her story is inspiring, and I could not wait to go down the rabbithole with her in this incredible episode. 

Like lots of other women, Steph used to struggled with her weight. She suffered with body dysmorphia and was obsessed with dieting. Food ruled and Steph never felt enough. Her inner dialogue told her she wasn’t pretty enough, smart enough, thin enough or even good enough. She had problems with blood sugar regulation and she wasn’t happy. 

But all that changed when she discovered a whole new way of eating called paleo. 

Out went her relentless calorie counting and in came fats and animal proteins. It was a revelation. Steph’s energy levels soared, and her body, mind, and confidence began to heal after years of pain. 

And now, Steph helps other women experience the exact same results. 

So if you’re fed up with endless dieting and you want to transform the way you feel about yourself and your body so you can get on with living, this episode is for you.  

“The people you see in life that you perceive as the most successful or are able to overcome hard things - they are not generally fearless. They are people who feel the fear, they recognise that if they take this action they can deal with that amount of fear and they’re going to do it anyway.” 

In this episode, Steph dives deep into her experiences to share the practices, mindsets, and philosophies that can help you live a full life. 

We talk about: 

• Steph’s ‘Core 4’ pillars of health that provide nourishment, care, and strength 
• Why confidence follows actions -- it’s not the other way around
• Why you don’t need to be fearless to create the life you want
• The importance of creating space in your life and what space does for you

• How physical strength increases your mental and emotional strength
• How to take up more space as a woman -- and why you want to do this
