How long does it really take to build the body you love? (The truth you need to hear🧨)

Today’s EP is a spicy one 🧨🌶️. I’ve pulled out the juiciest, most powerful insights from my recent coaching conversations in Warrior School to serve you some serious gold.

Let’s get real: How long does it actually take to build the body you love?

Most women I talk to have no idea—and the fitness industry isn’t going to tell you the truth. Building the body you love isn’t about 6-week challenges, quick-fix diets, or shortcuts. It’s about playing the long game. 

I’ll break down what it really takes, why you’re stuck, and how to prime your body for massive, lasting change.

I’ll also dish on what to do when life throws you off track, why it’s okay to change your plan, and the mindset shifts you need to go from frustrated to thriving.

If you’re ready to stop spinnin' your wheels and start creating realllll progress, ya gotta whack her in your ears.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

• “If you’re still asking, ‘How long does it take?’ you’re missing the whole damn point.”


• “Building the body you love takes years—18 months to build your foundation, 3–5 years for big, lasting changes.”


• “The aesthetics you’re chasing? They’re a byproduct of health, strength, and consistency.”


• “Stop trying to catch up. Training isn’t about perfection; it’s a rolling practice.”


• “Your plan will need to change. Your body is dynamic, and you need to adapt as you go.”


• “You can’t shortcut your way to success, but you can make the process more efficient by showing up, prioritising your health, and committing to the work.”

Key Takeaways:

• The Long Game is the Only Game: Forget the quick fixes. Building a bod you love takes time, patience, and consistency. It takes 18 months to 2 years to build a foundation and 3–5 years to see big, lasting body composition changes.


• Foundation First: The foundation is health: eating enough, managing stress, improving resiliency, and creating a consistent training practice. Without it, the aesthetics you want (fat loss, muscle gain) won’t happen—or won’t last.


• Missed Workouts? No Biggie: Stop stressing about catching up. Training is a rolling practice. Just pick up where you left off and keep going.


• Adapt Your Plan: What worked six months ago might not work now. Pay attention to your body’s biofeedback and make adjustments when needed.


• Say No to Say Yes: Want faster progress? Be willing to say no to energy-draining habits, relationships, and commitments. Show up consistently, focus on fueling and recovering, and commit to the process.
