Thinking about becoming a runner but don’t know where to start? In this episode, we’re breaking down how to build confidence (and endurance) from the ground up. We cover what most people get wrong when starting to run, how to structure your runs to actually enjoy the process, and the mindset shifts that make all the difference. Whether you’ve never run a mile or you’re getting back into it after a break, this episode will help you start strong and stay consistent.
Back at it with another monthly Q&A episode! Today we answer your top questions on all things fitness and nutrition - from how to dial in your macros and build a realistic meal prep routine, to navigating training around injuries and staying consistent when life gets busy. Tune in for practical tips, real talk, and the habits that keep your goals moving forward.
If you’ve ever said, “I want to wake up before the kids to work out,” and then found yourself hitting snooze, this episode is for you.
We’re breaking down what it really takes to become a morning person (and spoiler: it’s not about being naturally motivated). You’ll learn how to shift your identity, build self-trust, and create simple systems that make following through feel easier - not forced.
The reality is, this isn’t just about mornings. The same skills that help you wake up early are the ones that help you hit your protein goal, stay consistent with workouts, and follow through on any habit that matters to you.
It’s time to stop waiting to “feel ready” and start becoming the kind of person who does what she says she will.
We’ve all been there - doing great all day, then suddenly hit with a craving that feels impossible to ignore. Whether it’s something sweet after dinner or that salty snack when stress hits, cravings can feel like they’re constantly pulling you off track.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated for “giving in” or wondered why cravings seem to control you, this episode will help you feel more in tune with your body and confident in your choices.
In this episode, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and laughing (a little) at some of the diet and fitness myths we used to fully believe. From “clean eating” and fasted cardio to thinking you had to train six days a week to see results - we’re unpacking the mindset behind these old beliefs, what we’ve learned since, and what we do very differently now.
In this episode, Micheala and Vikki dive into the common trap of letting life’s circumstances hold you back from your goals. From busy schedules to stress and unexpected setbacks, it’s easy to justify putting your health and fitness on pause. But the truth is - those same circumstances don’t have to be excuses. Listen in to learn practical strategies to shift your mindset, build resilience, and keep showing up no matter what life throws your way.
We dive into why you might not be losing weight even in a deficit, share our favorite go-to sports bras, and talk honestly about alcohol and its impact on your goals. Plus, we cover a few more fun topics from the community. Tune in for practical tips, real talk, and a little fitness motivation to carry you into the week!

From dialing in nutrition without becoming obsessive, to managing recovery, to staying motivated when progress feels slow, we’re giving you the tools to finish strong and keep the results for good.
Today we’re diving into my postpartum experience—the highs, the lows, the mindset shifts, and everything in between. Let me tell you… no amount of knowledge can fully prepare you for what this season brings—physically, mentally, or emotionally.

This is a real look of what it looked like for me to rebuild my strength—inside and out—and how I’m learning to hold space for both grace and growth at the same time.
