Big Sister Chats • S2 E2: Reclaim Your Body & Mind—From Macro Tracking to Feminine Flow

What if letting go of control is the bravest thing you’ll ever do?

From Muscle Mommy to Mind-Body Madison

In this candid follow-up, we sit down with a top fitness influencer who went from hip-thrusting 405 lbs to embracing 5-minute guided meditations—and learned that true strength comes from silence, not the StairMaster. Tune in for raw stories of:

• Macro tracking madness: How counting calories became a prison—and how to break free

• Mind-body connection: Why your scale is lying and your gut has the real data

• Reclaiming feminine energy: The book that helped her balance yang ambition with intuitive flow

• Small habits, huge impact: From daily journaling prompts to earbuds-off walks

• Therapy & tools: Must-read “Eating in the Light of the Moon” and why it’s a game-changer

Plus:

• How to recognize when your fitness persona is running you

• Tips for easing into meditation (yes, even if you can’t sit still)

• Real talk on social-media comparison and mental-health stigma
