Episode 8 going live tomorrow at 7am with @posedbykb
You cannot talk about how a woman holds her body without talking about why she stopped holding it that way in the first place.
You cannot talk about posture without talking about the identity she lost somewhere between becoming a mum and years later at the school gate.
You cannot talk about confidence without naming the lies she’s been quietly telling herself on repeat the ones so familiar they’ve started to feel like facts.
This episode goes there. All of it.
This week I sat down with Katie: a coach, bodybuilder, posing coach and mum and what started as a conversation about body language naturally became something we both really align with so raw & honest.
We talk about the confidence in the gym, the meetings at work, the mum jobs.
We talk about what your body is saying before you’ve opened your mouth. And we talk about what it actually takes to come back to yourself after having a baby not the highlight reel version. The real one.
New episode out now Monday 13th 7am. Link on post. 🎙️🤍

Your body is talking. The question is — what is it saying about your self confidence?
Chin down. Shoulders in. Making yourself small in rooms you deserve to be in.
This week on the pod, the art of posing, body language, and the mindset behind real confidence.
With posing coach, business owner, mother bodybuilder @katiebarnes_1
Not for stage. Not for shoots. For your life.

5 months between these photos and after lots of practicing I think changes have been made!! By far posing is the hardest part of my journey but time, patience and guidance from @posedbykb I’m seeing changes ☺️ still a way to go but I’m getting there slowly. @coachedbykb #posing #journey #gettingthere
Client spotlight ✨💫Posing progress for @megsfitness96@megp96
Only 4 posing sessions and Megan is smashing it.
Megan is not competing until 2027 but the goal isn’t to rush, it is to be absolutely flawless by the time she gets on stage.
As part of my posing sessions, we go through clear cues, transitions, stage presence, and body awareness, so posing becomes second nature, not something you have to think about under pressure.
I always set tasks to complete at home too where clients will send me video update for extra feedback in between sessions.
Megan has definitely progressed and anyone who’s seen her journey so far will have witnessed this.

Working with @katiebarnes_1 has been an absolute game changer 📈
Every session I’m learning something new, taking every bit of feedback on board as I gear up for prep starting next Feb.
So many people leave posing until the last minute and honestly, it shows when you get on stage.
Your physique is only as good as how you present it on stage and Katie is one of the best in the game 💪🏻
If you’re like me and posing doesn’t come naturally, @katiebarnes_1 is your girl 💯
Counting down to next year when I finally get on stage and showcase all the hard work this year. Let’s go! 🚀
