The next live round will be in 2027 and places will are limited.
Have you ever said to a friend, “I just feel like my body has changed?”
And she lovingly tells you that you look great.
And you probably do.
But that doesn’t mean you’re imagining it.
❌ You’re doing everything you did last year but your body isn’t responding the way it used to.
❌ You’ve noticed that your strength training sessions aren’t really moving the needle anymore.
❌ There’s a little more softness around the middle, or your clothes are fitting differently.
❌ You look in the mirror and think, I don’t quite feel like myself.
❌ You’ve started to wonder if this is simply what your body is now.
And I think we need to be able to talk about that.
Intelligent, yes. Capable. Independent. Strong, sometimes.
But sexy? Never.
To me, sexy has very little to do with how a woman looks.
And it’s definitely not about being appealing to anyone else.
Sexy is a woman fully embodied in her authenticity.
The woman who inhabits her body.
Who trusts herself.
Who knows what she wants.
Who takes up space.
Who feels strong, alive, playful, sensual, powerful and deeply herself.
I know, absolutely, that every woman is sexy.
Sometimes we just can’t feel it.
Nobody announces it. There’s no moment where you decide.
It happens in a thousand small ways.
You put everyone else first, for years, and it becomes the shape of your life.
You stop saying what you want because it’s easier not to.
Something hard happens – grief, or illness, or a marriage ending, or just a season that takes everything you’ve got – and you get through it by going quiet.
And your body goes quiet with you.
A few years ago my body composition started to shift, and it would have been very easy to blame perimenopause.
Then I went back through my Oura Ring data.
In 2023 I averaged 11,847 steps a day.
This year? 8,391.
Almost 3,500 fewer steps, every single day.
Nothing dramatic had happened. I was still lifting. Still active. Still healthy.
But my sister had died. I was raising my kids on my own, running a business, and life had got very full.
And somewhere in there I’d stopped moving through my own life the way I used to.
That wasn’t a metabolic problem. It wasn’t my hormones doing something to me.
It was the measurable, undeniable evidence of a woman who had quietly lost track of herself.
Yes, you’ll train. Three progressive strength sessions a week, programmed for a body that’s been training and needs more than it needed a year ago.
But that’s the part you already know how to do.
The rest of it is the work of taking up space again.
You’ll be stronger than you’ve been in years, and you’ll feel it.
You’ll move through your days differently, with more playfulness and zest for life.
And you’ll stop apologising for wanting to feel good in your own skin.
*We start our next live cohort in 2027 and places are limited.
The old stories.
The belief that this is just what happens now.
The idea that wanting to feel sexy in midlife is vanity, or a bit much, or not for “women our age”…
Those are the things in your way.
And yes, your body may well change along the way. That part’s welcome.
It’s just not the point.
Here's What's Included in SEXY SHRED
Everything you need to come back into your body:
Progressive programming in the FITR app for a body that's already been training. Your newbie gains are gone – this is what comes next. Home or gym. Open the app and your session is there.
You join me every Sunday morning at 8am AEST on Zoom. You walk wherever you are and I coach as we go. Obviously it's best if you can be there live for this, but if life gets in the way it'll all be recorded.
Woven through all nine weeks. Because a nervous system that's spent years surviving hasn't had much room left for pleasure, confidence or play. We make some.
Inside the app there's a place to track your steps, plus one habit or story you're choosing to shred. There's also a daily gratitude practice – small enough to actually do, powerful enough to change how the whole nine weeks feels.
My go-to high-protein, high-fibre meals that I actually cook for my own family, plus simple easy snacks. There's no restriction, no deprivation. Just proper fuel to help you move through your days with more energy.
A Facebook group just for this program, where you're surrounded by women in exactly the same season. I’ll be checking in regularly throughout the 9 weeks to offer encouragement, answer questions, and help you stay motivated.
Hi, I’m Paula – a holistic physiotherapist, exercise physiologist, strength trainer and women’s wellness coach.
I’ve spent more than 20 years supporting women through the biggest transitions of their lives – pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, grief, burnout, and everything in between.
And I’ve had my own share of curveballs.
I was widowed when my kids were very young. More recently I lost my sister, and I’ve been navigating changes in my body now that I’m only a couple of years away from 50.
So when I talk about a woman not feeling like her sexiest, most authentic self, I’m not speaking from theory.
I created Sexy Shred because so many women arrive at this point – training, capable, doing all the right things – and quietly wonder why they still don’t feel good in their own skin.
You’re not vain for wanting that.
And you’re not stuck with how it is either.
I hold a Bachelor of Exercise Science and a Masters of Physiotherapy. I’m also a qualified yoga teacher and integrative health coach. I’ve worked in hospitals, private practice, and now as a key part of the team at Vera Wellness in the Samford Valley.
But most of all, I’m a mum to two amazing teenagers, and someone who truly believes that feeling vibrant, playful and alive is your birthright – no matter what age or stage you’re in.
Let’s do this together.
– Paula xo
✔️ You got dressed for something and actually felt good in what you put on – not just “fine”
✔️ You caught sight of yourself in the mirror and thought, “damn, I’m sexy.”
✔️ You felt stronger than you’ve ever been
✔️ You wanted something, said it out loud, and it didn’t feel indulgent
✔️ You felt playful and excited about life again
None of that requires a different body.
Just a different relationship with the one you’ve got.

Yes. Learn to Lift teaches you to lift well and builds your foundation. Sexy Shred is what comes next – heavier, more progressive, and with a whole layer of work on what's going on in your head. This is how you continue to build on the gains you’ve made in Learn to Lift.
Ideally you can do three training sessions per week (most weeks), but it’s still flexible and designed to work with your life, not against it. I'd love for you to join me live for the walk club most weeks as well as this is how you get those steps up and get mindset coaching at the same time.
You’ll have access to the full program through the FITR app*, so you can pause, come back, and keep going when it works for you. You can also repeat the program again if you want to follow along with the next cohort.
If you haven't done strength training before, I'd recommend you start with my 8-week Learn to Lift program first. The Sexy Shred program builds on what you learn there.
No. They're simple, high-protein family meals I cook myself, and they're not tailored to specific dietary requirements.
There are no change-of-mind refunds on my online programs, beyond what's required under Australian Consumer Law. Please read the full terms before you join – and if you're not sure it's right for you, email me first.
You could be moving through your life completely differently.
Stronger, yes. But also sexier – because you feel more alive, more playful and more YOU.
