Episode 80 - From Badge to Barbells, Evie King on Anxiety, Motherhood and Rebuilding Strength After Policing

I have an amazing guest for you today, and if you were with me for the last episode, you'll know it was a big one too, One Kilogram of Cocaine for Two Months. This one connects in a way I didn't expect, because my guest today, Evie King, was a police officer as well, same as me. Evie is the author of a chapter in our latest book, The Rich Lady Revolution: The Embodied Era, but these days she's known as Evie K Fit, helping professional women over 40 rebuild strength, metabolic health and body shape. Badge to barbells, as she puts it, and I love that. I get her to take me back to how she met Diane, and then into what happened at our book launch. Evie was meant to read one section of her chapter, and halfway through realised she was reading a completely different, far more raw passage about anxiety, motherhood and feeling disconnected from her own kids. She couldn't get the words out, and Diane had to step in and finish reading it for her. Afterwards, two women she'd never met came up to her in tears telling her how much those words had hit them. That's exactly why she said yes to writing her chapter in the first place. We talk about what it actually took for her to leave a 16 year policing career, the mental grind that slowly pulled her away from herself, and how she rebuilt her life around her own Lotus Effect framework, de-patterning, boundaries, energetic control and recalibration. She also opens up, for the first time publicly, about performing CPR for 45 minutes on an 18 year old motorcycle rider while off duty with her husband, and what it's like to carry that. This is Self Belief, Support and Spirituality in action. If what you're doing is leaving you exhausted and disconnected from what matters most to you, it's not working, and it's robbing you of your peace.
