The Willetts Podcast

Maverick Willett

The Willetts Podcast is where marriage, metabolism, and real talk collide. Hosted by Mav & Kait—partners in life, parenting, and calling people on their bullshit—we blend science-backed body transformation with raw, unfiltered conversations about relationships, values, and the messy parts of becoming better humans.

We don’t do fluff. We don’t do shortcuts. We tell the truth women 35+ need to hear so they can finally stop deceiving themselves and step into the version of them that has the highest quality of life, health, and marriage.

If you want evidence-based guidance, honest perspectives, and two married coaches who practice what they preach—welcome home. This is where real change starts.

Your Results Reflect Your Habits, Not Your Intentions
In this episode, we talk about why you need to stop trying to skip steps in the body transformation process and start building the foundation for lasting results. We also discuss why staying physically capable as you age matters far more than aesthetics alone, how your daily behaviors shape the person you become, and why breaking old patterns requires you to take ownership of your identity. If you want lasting results, you have to stop looking for ways around the process and start learning how to work through it. We talk about: -you can’t change what you refuse to acknowledge -staying physically capable in your older years -busting the “getting bulky” myth -metabolic stagnation -the roll of protein and fiber -owning your new identity -having an objective point of view Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:55 you have to be in a calorie deficit 5:36 the importance of strength training 8:00 staying consistent for the long haul 12:50 how ofter should you work out? 18:04 you’re a consequence of your behaviors over time 21:25 avoiding unwanted influence and judgement 25:55 breaking the cycle CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

How to Stay on Track When Life Is Uncertain
In this episode, we talk about owning your results and how to stay committed to your goals when life feels uncertain. We break down the truth about calorie deficits, why successful fat loss requires more than eating less, and how to recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We also explore the psychology behind lasting change, the importance of setting boundaries, and what it really means to practice self-love. Because building a strong body and a life you're proud of requires an investment of time, a willingness to challenge yourself, and the confidence to keep moving forward even when your circumstances aren't perfect. We talk about: -what to expect with fat loss -the truth about calorie deficits -Minnesota starvation experiment -losing muscle tissue -tracking your macros -paying with time -skipping breakfast -challenging yourself to be your best -walking through life with confidence Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 6:56 calorie deficits that are successful 12:55 eating as much as possible and still losing weight 19:53 what to do when you “get off track” 23:00 you have to earn a strong body 26:35 real change happens with psychology 32:18 examine your eating patterns 37:45 setting boundaries 44:00 true self-love 47:16 regaining your time CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

How to Stop Losing and Regaining the Same Weight
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the four-phase approach to body transformation and why women over 40 may benefit from thinking beyond a single, continuous fat-loss phase. If you’ve spent years losing weight, regaining it, and starting over, the answer may not be another diet or a more aggressive plan. We break down why approaching transformation in phases can make the process simpler, more sustainable, and more adaptable to real life. We also discuss why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck, how muscle loss can become a concern with weight-loss interventions, why fasting isn't always the answer, and why the ultimate goal should be to develop the skills and confidence to maintain your results without constantly needing another plan. We talk about: -simplicity equals success -why fasting usually fails -muscle loss with GLP-1s -you train people how to treat you -all-or-nothing is causing you to fail -life doesn’t care about your plans Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 5:55 why phases are better 12:48 the 2-week fall of pattern 16:02 starting with fat loss 22:40 setting and holding boundaries 24:30 getting as strong as humanly possible 32:04 good enough is actually good enough 36:46 weigh maintenance versus weight loss 40:46 mobility and hip fractures 48:48 your goal is to not need us CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

What Gets Your Attention Gets Your Life
In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to be successful with a body transformation, and why your attention may be one of your most valuable resources. Instead of trying to overhaul your entire life at once, we break down why adding one commitment at a time, mastering it, and then building from there can create lasting change. We also talk about habit stacking, learning through application, solving obstacles as they come up, and recognizing where your attention is being pulled. Ultimately, transformation isn't about finding the perfect circumstances. It's about learning to take responsibility for your choices, asking for help when you need it, and intentionally deciding what deserves your attention. We talk about: -habit stacking actually works -adding one commitment and mastering it -pay attention to what gets your attention -asking for help and setting boundaries -your circumstances don’t change your responsibilities Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 3:00 being successful with a new habit 11:58 implementing one strategy at a time 21:15 solving new obstacles as you go 28:45 learning is application 31:21 who is a good fit with our program 37:36 knowing where your attention should go CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

We Answer Your Questions BMI, Supplements, Protein, HRT & More
In this episode, we’re sharing a live Q&A where we cover a little bit of everything, from health versus aesthetics and whether BMI is actually useful, to supplements, protein, HRT, alcohol, and building muscle. We dig into some of the questions that come up all the time, including whether you can lose weight too quickly, how to break through a plateau, whether one meal a day makes sense, and what actually matters when it comes to metabolic health. We also talk about exercising through injuries, finding movement you genuinely enjoy, progressing with a home gym, and why strength training deserves a place in your long-term health strategy. As always, we’re less interested in quick answers and more interested in understanding the context behind the question and what actually moves the needle. We talk about: -is BMI actually BS? -going off plan over the weekend -setting a protein goal -eating before bed -HRT in perimenopause -loosing weight too fast -is one meal a day a good strategy?

Social Media is Manipulating You
In this episode, we riff on some of the biggest ideas shaping the way we think, behave, and make decisions, and see where the conversation takes us. We dig into the manipulative side of social media, how constant exposure to other people's opinions can lower our standards, and why it's important to understand why you believe what you believe. We also explore the real-life consequences of spending too much time online, why you can't win an argument with the internet, and the idea that you ultimately get what you choose. This is a conversation about becoming more intentional with what you consume, what you pursue, and who you're becoming in the process. We talk about: -the manipulative aspect of social media -lowering the bar -knowing why you believe what you believe -real life consequences of social media -you get what you choose Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 3:00 how social media shapes your thoughts 10:45 you can’t win an internet argument 14:45 bots on social media 17:15 understanding what you find fulfilling 23:10 research on lottery winners & cancer survivors 26:40 becoming through achieving CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

Stop Believing Everything You See on Social Media
In this episode, we tackle the overwhelming amount of fitness and nutrition information coming at us from social media and break down how to separate evidence from nonsense. We mythbust some of the most common claims, talk about the importance of putting information into context, and explain why a claim should be backed by evidence before you change your behavior. This conversation is about thinking critically, addressing the fears that keep you stuck, and focusing on what actually works instead of chasing the latest “shocking” health claim. We talk about: -analysis paralysis & information overload -taking things out of context -addressing your fear-based marketing -NEAT and BMR -thin doesn’t equal healthy -do you need thyroid medication?

The GLP-1 Conversation We Should Be Having
In this episode, we take a different approach to the conversation around GLP-1 medications. Instead of treating them as either the answer to everything or the villain of the fitness industry, we talk about where they may fit, what happens when you come off of them, and the skills you need to maintain your results long term. We break down the misconceptions around BMI and body composition, the idea of “food noise,” and why medication alone cannot replace the skills required to create a sustainable lifestyle. Ultimately, this conversation is about becoming self-sufficient, making informed choices, and building the habits and confidence you need to maintain your results once and for all. We talk about: -Why GLP-1s aren't the villain -The truth about BMI and body composition -Whether GLP-1s really need to be a “lifetime subscription” -The skills that can be missing with GLP-1 use -What “food noise” actually means -Being honest with yourself about your goals and habits -Understanding the maintenance phase -What REAL lifestyle change looks like -Building the skills to maintain your results long term Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 3:12 the middle ground of GLP-1s 9:07 are GLP-1s a “lifetime subscription”? 15:53 being honest with yourself 20:15 empowering people to make their own choices 24:20 understanding the maintenance phase 28:01 “I look at a carb and I gain weight.” 35:16 the skills you need to have CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

What Are You Not Telling Your Husband?
In this episode, we talk about a topic that can be uncomfortable for many women: what you are, and aren’t, telling your husband about your struggles with your weight and health. We explore why shame tends to survive in the dark, how to have honest conversations with your spouse, and what it really means to ask for support without feeling like you need permission. We also discuss the hidden cost of waiting, investing in yourself, and why taking care of your health isn't selfish. Ultimately, this conversation is about becoming a team, communicating what you need, and recognizing the example you are setting for your children. We talk about: -does your husband know about your weight struggles? -shame survives in the dark -having a dismissive spouse -do you need “permission”? -expensive is subjective -investing in yourself Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 3:20 “I need to talk to my husband” 5:11 how to ask for support 12:55 being a team with your husband 19:33 you’re not being selfish 22:11 just keep trying 24:33 the hidden cost of waiting 25:18 setting the example for your children CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

Use It or Lose It: Why Strength Matters as You Age
In this episode, we talk about what it means to be capable, and more importantly, how to remain capable as you age. Strength isn't just about how much you can lift or how you look. It's about maintaining your independence, staying active, and being able to participate in the life you want for as long as possible. We discuss why playing the long game matters, how to build a sustainable routine, and why it's never too late to start, even if you're working around injuries, limitations, or a long break from exercise. The goal isn't to be perfect. It's to keep building and maintaining the physical capacity that allows you to live your life. We talk about: -maintaining strength as you age -the most important benefit of strength training -playing the long game -staying active with your kids or grandkids -it’s okay to be a beginner Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:16 building a sustainable routine 5:55 use it or lose it 9:15 systems make things predictable 13:28 take your time regaining capability 19:35 working with injuries and limitations 24:00 keeping it simple 30:10 don’t skip cardio!

Stop Chasing Fast Results
In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness industry: how fast fat loss should actually happen. Social media has convinced many people that rapid transformations are the standard, but sustainable results are built much differently. We break down the difference between fat loss and weight loss, why crash diets almost always backfire, and what a realistic timeline for body transformation looks like. We also discuss body recomposition, the four phases of long-term success, and why saying no to shortcuts is one of the best decisions you can make for your health. If you've ever felt discouraged because your progress seems "too slow," this episode will help you redefine what success really looks like. We talk about: -focusing on sustainability -reframing “slow progress” -combating misinformation -understanding body recomposition -saying no to short cuts -valuing your self Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 3:14 the dangers of crash diets 8:33 restriction leads to rebellion 10:58 fat loss versus weight loss 15:40 factors affecting weight loss 26:05 what problems do you actually need to solve? 28:49 social media is a lie 35:20 what’s a realistic fat loss timeline? 39:57 why are you gaining weight? 45:02 explaining the 4 phases 48:16 consistency is progress CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

Overpromised and Underdelivered
In this episode, we discuss the growing problem of overpromising and underdelivering in the coaching and online business world. With the rise of AI, social media, and aggressive marketing, it has become harder than ever to know who to trust. We share a recent experience that sparked this conversation and break down why so many programs fail to deliver lasting results.

The Best Advice We Heard This Year
In this episode, we reflect on some of the biggest lessons we've learned so far this year and share the quotes and ideas that have shaped the way we think about health, relationships, and personal growth. We discuss why growth requires letting go of old beliefs, how the challenges you face today don't have to define your future, and the importance of gratitude, endurance, and surrounding yourself with people you trust. From marriage to body transformation to navigating the noise of social media, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change is built through consistent choices and a willingness to keep learning.

I Know What to Do… So Why Am I Not Doing It
In this episode, we unpack one of the most common phrases we hear: "I know what to do, I just won't do it." The truth is, lasting transformation isn't about learning another strategy. It's about closing the gap between what you know and how you consistently show up. We explore why knowledge alone rarely changes behavior, how trying to follow too many "rules" can leave you overwhelmed, and why every person's journey requires a different approach. We also discuss the importance of acting in alignment with the person you want to become, letting go of all-or-nothing thinking, and finding peace in a process that is sustainable for life. Whether you're navigating perimenopause or simply feeling stuck, this episode will help you shift from knowing to doing. We talk about: -the gap between knowing and doing -what transformation actually takes -every situation is different -doing something for yourself -be willing to let go -stop living in the extremes -finding peace and freedom Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 5:20 considering the nuance of “the rules” 9:02 it doesn’t have to be hard 16:09 your to do list is too long 20:01 acting in alignment with who you want to be 25:55 getting results in perimenopause 28:55 why this is important CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

GLP-1s, Shame, and the Truth About Fat Loss
In this episode, we discuss some of the biggest contradictions and misconceptions we see in the fitness industry. From the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications to the habits that quietly sabotage progress, we explore why so many people struggle to turn knowledge into action. We also talk about the importance of nutritional literacy, the role of shame and accountability, and why lasting change requires honesty paired with compassion. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or found yourself repeatedly breaking promises to yourself, this episode will help you think more critically about your health and the choices that support it. We talk about: -Who can truly benefit from GLP-1 medications Muscle loss and the importance of resistance training Building a long-term plan instead of relying on quick fixes Developing nutritional literacy Why we keep breaking promises to ourselves The difference between shame and accountability Speaking the truth with compassion Moving from knowledge to meaningful action Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:30 who can actually benefit from GLP-1s? 9:00 long-term plan after GLP-1 12:41 shame and accountability 18:44 identifying with behaviors through shame 22:19 are you actually in a calorie deficit? 26:45 where you may be falling short 30:59 moving past knowledge and into action 36:25 can you still with yourself?

The Day Becky Stopped Starting Over
In this special client interview, we sit down with Becky to hear the story behind her transformation and the mindset shifts that finally helped her break free from years of yo-yo dieting. Like so many women, Becky spent years searching for the "secret" diet while putting everyone else's needs ahead of her own. She shares what made this experience different, how learning to accept support changed everything, and why lasting transformation had far more to do with changing her beliefs than changing her meal plan. If you've ever felt invisible, struggled to see your own progress, or wondered if it's too late to become the person you want to be, Becky's story will remind you that real change is possible. We talk about: -the search for the diet “secret” -never putting yourself first -feeling invisible -fear is holding you back -quitting when you don’t get fast results -learning to love yourself Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 5:01 the history of yo-yo dieting 8:42 realizing this was different 11:26 being fully supported 12:38 the change that made this time stick 16:15 the compassionate side of coaching 18:15 not being able to see your own progress 21:53 a message to other women CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

The Mental Traps That Keep You Stuck
In this episode, we break down some of the most common thinking errors and logical fallacies we see holding people back from reaching their goals. Many people believe their biggest challenge is a lack of information, but more often, the problem is how they think about themselves, their habits, and the process of change. We discuss why the "Monday reset" keeps people stuck, how all-or-nothing thinking sabotages progress, and why knowledge alone doesn't create transformation. If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of starting over, lowering your standards, or questioning whether you're capable of lasting change, this episode will help you identify the mental patterns standing in your way. We talk about: -The trap of the Monday reset -Confusing information with transformation -Current behavior versus permanent identity -The value of tracking macros and collecting data -Lowering your standards instead of raising your actions -Creating a fear-based identity -The dangers of all-or-nothing thinking -Why knowledge doesn't automatically lead to results -Overcoming imposter syndrome and self-limiting beliefs Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 4:09 the all-or-nothing mindset 12:15 but is it sustainable? 20:39 knowledge does not equal results 25:45 changing your behaviors 31:14 struggling with identity fallacy 44:09 feeling like an imposter CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV: Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzB Get our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list 4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

From Self-Sabotage to Self-Trust
In this special client interview, we sit down with Iva to talk about the mindset shifts, habits, and decisions that helped her create lasting change. After years of trying different approaches and feeling stuck in the cycle of starting over, Iva realized that the real transformation had very little to do with finding the perfect diet. She shares how living with lupus, navigating grief, and overcoming all-or-nothing thinking forced her to approach health differently. This conversation is about closing the gap between who you are and who you want to be, learning to ask for help, and building a life that feels aligned with your values instead of driven by fear.

When Good Intentions Aren’t Enough
In this episode, we talk about the standards and commitments that shape every area of your life, from your health and relationships to your career and personal growth. Many people say they have goals, but their daily actions reflect a different set of standards.
