In this episode of the Chase Life Podcast, Rachel and David Godfrey reveal the deeper reasons high-performing women struggle with consistency in health, fitness, and life.

It’s not your calendar.

It’s not your to-do list.

It’s your identity.

If you’ve ever felt like no system is “the system” that will help you stay in shape year-round, or that you’re always just one launch, one crisis, one deadline away from dropping your standards—this episode is your mirror.

Rachel and David break down two of the biggest patterns sabotaging high achievers:

• The Human Doing: Tying your self-worth to how productive you are.
  
  
• Completion Addiction: Obsessing over getting things finished before you “deserve” to rest, eat, or live your life.

They share how these patterns played out in their own careers, what really changed things, and why most people confuse perfectionism with high standards (spoiler: they’re not the same thing).

You'll also learn:

• Why your “flow state” might be bullsh*t
  
  
• How Rachel launched the ONYX app without burning out
  
  
• The one concept that separates A-players from overwhelmed overachievers
  
  
• Parenting, productivity, and finding the sweet spot between ambition and presence
  
  
• Why most people delay their goals in the name of being "smart"... and just end up stuck

This episode is for the woman who’s done with the excuses, the stress addiction, and the all-or-nothing mindset—and is ready to win across every area of life.

Many trainers and coaches in the fitness, weight loss and dieting space will sell you the dream of being able to lose weight without giving up your favourite foods and wine.

This is unfortunately a recipe for failure, frustration, and misery in the long term.

In this episode we discuss the claims and arguments you’ll frequently hear, why these claims only work short term, and the physiological and psychological reasons why they fail long term.

We also discuss why developing emotional fitness and emotional freedom is the path to weight loss that lasts and even feels effortless – without having to suffer from FOMO ever again.

In this episode, we’re diving into the incredible story of Karen – a top-tier expert witness with an extraordinary career and a lifestyle that many would envy. On the outside, everything seemed perfect... but behind the success, Karen was struggling with self-judgment, self-punishment, and a deep sense of being lost.

Like so many high achievers, she was constantly striving for something, yet nothing ever seemed to fill the void. But here’s the twist: just a few months later, Karen’s life is completely unrecognizable. She’s moved to a new country, landed a new job, and feels more fulfilled and at peace than ever before. Oh, and by the way – she’s also dropped two dress sizes…without even trying!

In this episode, Karen opens up about the profound epiphanies that turned everything around for her. These life-changing insights might just be the spark you need to make your own transformation.

You don’t want to miss this one!

Planning ahead and being organised with food is a non-negotiable if you want to be in shape year-round.

However, this is something a surprising number of people struggle with.

This becomes even more important for the typical high achiever who is already time poor, stressed, frequently has the day run away from them, and is already on the verge of decision fatigue.

As James Clear said, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

In this episode we discuss how to build a system that is as easy and automated as possible, freeing up your brain space, whilst giving you the consistency you need to succeed in your body and health goals, and be in shape year-round, regardless of how busy or stressful work and life become.

We also dive deep into the underlying psychology, and how to overcome the blockages, resistance, and self-sabotage mechanisms that prevent people from being able to build a reliable system.

Identity is one of the most important elements in weight loss.

It means the difference between temporary weight loss followed by rebound – and lasting weight loss that completely transforms your life.

Over the long term, all your habitual thoughts, feelings and behaviours will come into alignment with your sense of identity.

Which is why so many people can force behaviour change in the short term, but it doesn’t last long term.

In this episode we dive deep into identity and identity change, including:

• Why it doesn’t take 66 days to form a habit, and why mindless repetition on its own doesn’t form lasting habits.
• Why identity change needs to precede, or at the very least coincide, with behaviour change.
• Why most personal development and self help backfires and only reinforces inadequacy and not feeling good enough.
• How identity change makes weight loss go from feeling like a fight, to feeling almost effortless, and how it eliminates resistance, internal conflicts and self sabotage.
• The HOW: The 3 step process for transforming and upgrading your identity and wholeheartedly embodying the next level iteration of your limitless self!
