You’re not “too sensitive”, you’re dysregulated. And no, a 10-minute meditation won’t fix it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right, eating well, training hard, sleeping 8 hours, and still feel anxious, stuck, or like your body’s not responding… this episode is a must-listen. I sat down with Claire Ollila, somatic breathwork facilitator and nervous system mentor, to talk about the missing piece most women aren’t taught when it comes to health, stress, and emotional resilience.

If I could go back and start my fitness journey all over again? I’d do a lot less spinning my wheels, and a lot more of what actually works.

Just the five shifts that would’ve saved me years of burnout, frustration, and wasted energy.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the Pilates hype, and telling you what’s actually happening behind those viral “Pilates body” transformations.

This episode is different. It’s not about lifting heavier, chasing goals, or even finding motivation. It’s about grief—deep, human, life-altering grief. A few weeks ago, I lost my mom unexpectedly. And in the middle of everything I’m feeling, I knew I wanted to sit down and share this… because we don’t talk about grief enough. We avoid it. We dance around it. But it’s one of the few things that every single one of us will experience. In this solo episode, I open up about the moment I got the cal...

You're not optimizing your health because you're starting in the wrong place. No, not because you need more supplements or fancier gadgets, but because you're ignoring the foundation that everything else builds on—your feet and connection to the earth. In this episode of Broads, I talk with Josh Holland, biohacker and elite trainer, about why barefoot training isn't just a trend, what grounding actually does for inflammation, and how to biohack without breaking the bank. We dive deep into methyl...

You’re not losing fat because you’re doing it wrong. No, not because you’re lazy or lack willpower, but because the advice you’ve been fed is outdated, oversimplified, and straight-up wrong.

That’s why I sat down with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, board-certified obesity specialist and hormone expert, to break down what’s actually going on when fat loss stalls. We talk about GLP-1 medications, metabolic adaptation, willpower myths,...

Ever feel disconnected from your partner… but not sure how to fix it? You’re not alone.

For years, I thought nutrition had to be all or nothing… you either perfectly tracked your food, followed a strict diet, or you were "failing." I spent so much time overthinking every meal, trying to find the “perfect” way to eat, only to end up feeling stressed, guilty, and frustrated. I thought true health meant rigid rules, obsessive tracking, and pushing myself to stick to the latest diet trend. But the truth? Nutrition should be about fueling your body, building strength, and creating habit...

For years, I thought I had to push myself to fit into this “summer body” ideal, sweating it out through restrictive diets and unrealistic fitness goals, only to feel like I was falling short. I kept repeating the cycle—working hard, but not seeing lasting results. I thought the key to being happy in my body was to lose weight fast and look a certain way for an event or season. But the truth? It was all a big, exhausting loop that left me feeling drained and disconnected from my true health goals...

For years, I thought I was doing everything right, showing up, sweating it out, and doing all the workouts I saw online. But I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t actually getting stronger. Why my joints ached, why I felt stuck, or why my lifts weren’t going anywhere. Turns out, I was making some of the most common fitness mistakes that women still make today. From rushing through reps to skipping rest (guilty), from starting every workout with cardio to training only in one plane of motion, I’ve d...

We’re covering why mobility is essential for strength, injury prevention, and longevity, and how neglecting it could be holding you...

For way too long, I thought training more meant training better. Six or seven days a week, sometimes twice a day, because if I wasn’t pushing my limits, was I even making progress? I see this all the time now. People grinding through back-to-back workouts, ignoring the signals their bodies are screaming at them. Constant fatigue, stubborn plateaus, weird little injuries that just won’t go away. And for what? More isn’t always better. In fact, sometimes, it’s the very thing holding you back. I us...

For way too many years, I let the number on the scale define me. I truly believed that if I could just make myself smaller, everything else in life would fall into place. I remember sitting alone in my dorm room, heating up some bland, low-calorie frozen meal while my teammates ate together in the dining hall. I thought I was being “good.” I thought that eating less meant I was more disciplined, more in control. But the reality? I was exhausted, constantly hungry, and stuck in a vicious cycle of...
