124 - Quit or Go Again: The Hard Truth About Success Nobody Wants to Hear
The Chase Life Podcast
Success isn't built on motivation. It's built on what you do after you've been disappointed. After the setback. After the plateau. After the day you wanted to quit. In this episode, Rachel and David unpack one of the most important skills you'll ever develop: grit. Not the unhealthy kind that keeps you burnt out and running on stress. The kind that allows you to keep showing up, trust yourself, and follow through long after everyone else has given up. If you've ever found yourself saying... "I've tried everything." "Why can I succeed in my career but not with my body?" "Maybe I just don't have...

122 – Fat Loss – Why Nothing Works For You (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)
The Chase Life Podcast
“Nothing Works For Me!” If you've ever said those four words, stop. Because they might be the very belief keeping you stuck. You've tracked calories. Counted macros. Started over every Monday. Downloaded the apps. Bought the programs. Promised yourself this time would be different. And yet here you are. Still frustrated. Still exhausted. Still carrying weight that feels harder than ever to lose. Still wondering why everyone else seems to have figured it out while you're working twice as hard for half the results. Here's the truth: The problem isn't that fat loss doesn't work. The problem...

120 - Raise Your Standards or Stay Stuck: The Truth About Body Transformation, Muscle, and Excellence
The Chase Life Podcast
Most people don’t have a discipline problem. They have a standards problem. In this episode Rachel and David break down the uncomfortable truth behind why so many high-achieving women stay stuck in the same body, despite “doing everything right.” This is not another conversation about calories, macros, or quick fixes. It’s about the gap between what you think it takes… and what it actually takes.

The Chase Life Podcast
We’re talking identity change, founder evolution, emotional mess, people pleasing, human-doing behaviour, and the hard truth that most high achievers don’t want to hear… … you will change eventually.

118 - The Two Ways to Get in Shape (and Why Only One Lasts)
The Chase Life Podcast
Most people will never understand what it’s like to live inside the mind of a high achiever. The pressure. The standards. The expectations. The ability to take on more than most can even imagine.

In this episode, Rachel and David break down the two very different paths to physical transformation - one that sells, and one that actually works.

Ep 79 of the Chase Life Podcast sees Rachel welcome good friend, hormone and skincare specialist Emma Melhuish to discuss the link between hormones, skincare, and what we can be doing as 35 + year old females to improve our skin and particularly the skin on our face.
The truth is, as women, a lot of weird stuff starts to happen in our bodies after age 35. Our moods start to change, our hormones take a nosedive, and our skin seems to go full out rogue on us.
Consequently, a lot of us are left with the sensation of, “am I just losing my mind??” accompanied by the sinking and very real preoccupation of a nightmarish return to pre-adolescent acne and all that that entails.
However, no need to panic… help is on its way! In this episode Rachel and Emma discuss:
-The effect of going on the pill early in life and the repercussions of that as you enter into perimenopause…and what you can do to mitigate the consequences.
-How long it takes to arrive at a postmenopausal state hormonally.
-Diet and lifestyle and how that DIRECTLY affects not only PMS but your hormones.
-How to optimize lifestyle first, and when to look for alternative help.
-The key pillars of what to do when your skin, hormones, and gut are out of whack, and the top 4-5 protocols Emma has someone do before she prescribes any sort of skincare treatment.
-The role of emotional fitness in balancing overall hormonal health and protecting your energy.
-The best and worst kind of exercise for your hormonal health and skin…and where most women go wrong.
-Emma’s own personal journey and challenges, her battles with anxiety and rampant mood swings, and why she finally decided to go down the route of HRT.
-Emma's step by step approach to balancing your hormones, her top products for skincare for any skin type, and why it’s about looking good for your age… not like you’re 20!
Episode 79 is chock full of actionable, relatable and useful takeaways that will have you both simultaneously laughing and frantically taking notes. An episode on the pillars of keeping you young, vibrant, and energetic… for life!
