Today’s episode topic may be a bit of a ‘buzzkill’, but..we’re going there anyway! An ongoing challenge that many of us face (it comes up ALL.THE.TIME. with my clients), is staying on track on the weekends. There’s a variety of reasons why people tend to fall ‘off track’ regularly on the weekends, but this episode isn’t going to be filled with a bunch of corny ‘tips’, because this isn't a 'one-size-fits-all'. I recently went out of town over the weekend and had a blast, but I didn...

One of my favorite things to talk about is habits. They are so, SO important when it comes to unf*cking your fitness, and honestly..I want you to be obsessed with your habits! When I say ‘obsessed’, I don’t mean that in a super unhealthy way of course. But..I DO want you to be obsessed with the habits you’re creating and implementing, instead of being obsessed with the outcome (yes, there’s a difference)! Your habits should be a priority, and something to honor and protect, no matter what's...

Today’s episode is one that has definitely been on my heart lately, and after talking with many of you on Instagram, I found out it’s something I NEED to talk about here! When it comes to your fitness journey, I’m sure you’ve wanted to give up at LEAST a time or two along the way. We all experience struggles and hardships through various seasons in life; it would feel sooo much easier to just throw in the towel, and give up on ourselves, right? Maybe you’re not seeing results as quickly as you h...

It’s hard to believe, but summer will soon be coming to an end, and fall is right around the corner. This is the time of year where I transition my health and fitness routine to prepare for the new season, and I love helping my clients do the same! While there are some changes you can make for the cooler months ahead, this doesn’t have to be drastic or overwhelming. So often, we tend to overcomplicate our health habits, and automatically think cutting calories/eating less is the best option. In ...

As a health & fitness coach, I've worked with a variety of clients over the last several years, and I've learned that every single woman I work with has a desire to change her body in some way! Typically, my ladies are undereating when we first start working together. However..that’s not the case with everyone. Whether you’re undereating or overeating, it often comes down to your lack of awareness and mentality around WHY you’re eating the way you are. Many people think overeating ...

When it comes to your fitness, do you tend to follow a plan..or your mood? Maybe you’re not feeling motivated to work out, track your macros, or drink more water. Maybe you’re just not seeing the progress you thought you would by now, so you’re ready to say ‘f*ck it’, and throw in the towel all together. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this from ladies over the years; I’ve felt like this many times too, but I’ve still showed up, and put in the work anyway. When it comes down to it, yo...

It’s been a bit since I’ve talked about it, but today’s episode is going to cover a topic that is very important to me: mental health. I’ve been on my own mental health journey over the last few years, and I’ve learned just how closely related it is to your physical health. I’ve been going to therapy for awhile now, and I’ve also been on medication - we all go through shit, and we MUST be able to find support in ways that work for us. I'm sharing a bit more about my personal journey in this...

I’m excited to talk all things fat loss in this episode, and really, what it looks like for you to enjoy your favorite foods, treats, and drinks, while living your best life! We often get stuck in the ‘all or nothing’ mindset that comes with following a certain diet. When we lose weight with said diet, we think it’s somehow magical, when in reality, it’s simply because we’re cutting out certain foods and drinks (aka in a calorie deficit). This isn’t actually teaching you anything - it's jus...

I want to kick off today’s episode by sharing some exciting news - this podcast recently hit 500k downloads, which is a HUGE milestone for me as a podcaster! I really want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for being here (whether this is your first time, or you're a long time listener). I absolutely LOVE getting to show up and connect with you in this way, and I’m very happy my message has resonated with so many of you. I’ve gotten some recent requests to share more about my journey, ...

Today’s episode is covering kind of an ‘unsexy’ topic, but it’s something that is crucial for anyone on a fitness journey. When it comes to the workouts that you’re doing, your specific fitness training MATTERS. I have ladies come to me all of the time, sharing that they feel like they’re working out and doing everything they ‘should’ be doing, but they don’t see (or feel) the results they’re desiring from their workouts. While you can do workouts that you love (i.e. fitness classes, running, et...

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘old habits die hard’; this has been a common theme among many of my clients lately as they’re navigating their fitness journeys and implementing new habits. This probably WILL feel hard at first, because changing your habits (even if you’re excited to do so), is never a smooth or easy process. This doesn’t mean you should give up on being able to successfully do so, but you have to figure out how all of this is going to look for you in YOUR unique season of life...

Summer is officially here - it’s my favorite time of year! It’s also a time that seems to throw so many of us off track with our health and fitness goals, so it’s something that I’m regularly talking about with my clients. I know our schedules are different and extra ‘stuff’ is often crammed in during Summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn to adapt along the way. Whether it’s the literal change in season, or a different ‘season’ in your life (like getting married, having a baby, changing c...

Today’s episode is all about supplements - those trusty aids that really can positively impact your fitness journey! Honestly, the majority of supplements I currently use I have been for awhile. I’m a creature of habit and don’t change up my routine too often..especially if I’m using something and it’s working well for me. I want to share more about my top picks for supplements (like why they’re actually beneficial), and why I personally enjoy taking them. In this episode, I’m discussing my supp...

In today’s episode, I’m diving into 3 popular health trends that I’m frequently asked about - juicing, detoxing, and intuitive eating! With all of the Summer vacations, holidays, barbecues, and more happening this time of year, it seems that many of you think that juicing and detoxing are the best ways to help you reset and ‘get back on track’ after indulging a little too much. They’re almost like a form of punishment, and something to continually fall back on as you stay trapped in the vicious ...

In today’s episode, I want to dig into a topic that has been coming up a lot in conversations I’ve been having with sooo many ladies lately: the unnecessary pressure and judgment from others regarding your nutrition and fitness choices. This is something that fires me UP; I’ve dealt with this often myself throughout my fitness journey, so you better believe this one is going to be spicy! Unfortunately, judgment from others will always be there, but I want to tackle this subject as it relates to ...

I’m fresh from celebrating my 43rd birthday + my daughter's graduation and party; honestly, there were sooo many celebrations during the month of May! It has been a LOT, and I’m finally coming down from the ‘high’ of all of it. Even with everything that’s been going on in my world lately, I’ve learned that it’s STILL possible to make progress toward (or at the very least, maintain) your fitness goals! I thought this episode would be the perfect time to address a couple of questions I receiv...

Today is a pretty special day - it’s my 43rd birthday!! After a pretty fun (but also VERY chaotic) last couple of weeks celebrating my daughter’s high school graduation and grad party, I hope to be somewhere relaxing, and enjoying some peace and quiet on my birthday. You could say life has been pretty overwhelming for me lately, and I’ve been hearing that from many of my clients and other ladies as well. For today’s episode, I really want to share some very real talk when it comes to your health...

I don’t know about you, but the month of May has been pretty crazy, and has flown by! Between Mother’s Day, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, and other special occasions (like my daughter's high school graduation), it’s a fun month I always look forward to. I also know this can be a challenging time of year as kids are finishing up school, and everyone is transitioning to summer..which also means you may feel like you won’t be able to stay on track with your fitness goals. I used to feel...

Today’s episode topic isn’t necessarily groundbreaking information, or anything you’ve never heard before, but..it’s pretty damn important! When it comes to your health and fitness, intentionality is KEY. While it’s a pretty basic concept, too often, we ‘unintentionally’ drift into unhealthy habits (or habits we weren't setting out to create). We don’t usually realize this has happened, but it can feel really difficult to get back to being intentional with our workouts, macros, water intake...

Today’s episode is covering a VERY requested topic I’ve gotten lately - the smart scale! I personally use the RENPHO Smart Scale, and I absolutely love it! I highly encourage my clients to get a smart scale, because it tracks SO much more than a typical scale that just gives you your body weight. The smart scale provides some pretty fascinating data when it comes to health metrics, but I promise to keep the information I’m sharing here simple and digestible (no BS like always!), so you can see h...

I’ve been noticing a common theme when working with my clients lately - it’s also something that I’ve experienced myself, and have come to realize I’m really good at doing. The ability to be able to pivot, and really embrace more flexibility on my fitness journey in a way that feels authentic to me has helped me SO much - it’s kind of my specialty. I’ve been at this for over 15 years now, so you could say I’ve had to pivot a time (or two) along the way! I’m currently in an extremely busy and cha...

Have you ever felt like the scale is basically your worst enemy when it comes to your health and fitness?? I hear often from the ladies I work with that they’re either weighing themselves daily and are super fixated on the results, or they’re never stepping foot on the scale and want to steer clear of it all together. Either way, the scale still seems to control SO much of how we feel about ourselves and our overall health. This is something I've personally struggled with in the past, becau...

I will say this forever....consistency is the key to getting the healthy, fit body you want. Patience plays a big part as well. I started my Spring cut a few weeks ago and it has been a SLOW progress. In years past I would have gotten very discouraged and went to drastic measures to lose a few pounds. This year I am proud of my mindset and ability to show up despite not seeing changes on the scale. I have been reminded of the importance of consistency during this process and in this episode I am...

The entire point of unf*cking your fitness is to think about things differently, in a way that actually works, so you can stop the diet cycle you are stuck in. Do you "burn off" calories you've eaten? Do you do extra cardio so you can eat more? Earn your food? Do you obsess over macros and calories? I used to do those things too! The good news is you can redefine your relationship with fitness and food! Imagine appreciating each calorie not as something to burn off on the treadmil...

This episode is a great conversation about how to approach the topic of health and fitness with your kids. I get asked about this commonly and I feel like I can't give that advice since I don't know your kids. So instead, lets have a conversation about things to take into consideration when deciding how you want to handle to topic of food in your home. I started lifting weights (little weights 😆) when my kids were 2 and 6 months old... that was 15 years ago. I have lived through my ow...

This episode is full of tough love and truth bombs! I think you will really enjoy and appreciate my thoughts on this topic "No one is coming to save you." You will walk away feeling motivated! You have to take control. That is a scary thing to hear when you don't know what steps to take and don't have the confidence it takes to get sh*t done. I know, I've been there. I get real about the consequences of the broken promises we make to ourselves and how they silently chip ...

Carbs have been demonized for far too long, and it's time to set the record straight. We have made so much progress in the health and fitness space with weight lifting and overall treating our bodies better... but the fear of carbs is still alive and well and it needs to stop. I would love to help you realize you can have a healthy mindset around carbs and that YOU can be in control. Carbs come in different forms: oatmeal, rice, bread, fruit, veggies and oreos. YOU can choose what you would...

I have felt bombarded on social media lately with ads of products promising to improve my face, my body, my digestion, my sleep (and just about everything else... and honestly... I'm sick of it. It makes me feel like I can't get away from the pressure of buying something or looking a certain way. Social media in general has become overwhelming lately and the constant feeling of needing to look, shop and workout the way someone else does and it has me feeling irritated. Please join me i...

Every season in my 15 year fitness journey has been a lesson in determination and grit...a test to see if I would quit or keep going! This current season is proving to be the same. This episode is about my current personal struggles as well as my mindset to get through it. There is always something that could be in our way if we let it... life, family, health issues, self sabotage. There are always reasons and excuses why we can't get started: I'm too busy, I'm too old, I'm t...
