It’s been a couple of weeks, and I know where have I been? In this episode, I catch you up on life lately: a big work trip that left me exhausted, a much-needed break from the gym, and a surprising reminder that sometimes rest is progress.
I talk about what that week off taught me, how I still managed to hit my lowest weight yet, and why slowing down helped me see things differently.
Then we dive deep into something new I’ve been exploring peptides and Retatrutide how it’s changed my relationship with food, what I’ve learned about GLP-1s, and why it’s not a magic fix, just another tool in the journey toward better health.
This one’s all about resetting, reflecting, and finding your flame again after burnout. Because sometimes the hardest thing to do… is nothing at all.
