I was recently asked the question “Should I refeed once a week if I’m in a calorie deficit?” I love this question (I always love when you send me your questions btw!), but honestly…it depends. Like most things in the health and fitness world, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” answer. Before you start talking about refeed days, carb cycling, or any other advanced strategies, you’ve got to ask yourself an important question: “Am I even in a consistent deficit to begin with?” The reality is...

197. Food Noise: Break Free from Food Obsession and Build a Healthier Relationship with Food
Ever feel like your thoughts about food are nonstop? Like… you’re constantly thinking about what you should or shouldn’t eat, even when you're not hungry? That’s food noise, and those unwanted, intrusive thoughts about food that can seriously mess with your day-to-day life. I’ve had plenty of my own experiences with food noise (especially my early mom years when I chose to regularly dig my son’s pizza crust out of the trash - yep, true story)!! Diet culture really created shame ar...

196. Letting Go of the Old Clothes and Embracing the New YOU on Your Fitness Journey
Something that is NOT talked about enough is the emotional rollercoaster that comes with cleaning out your closet, because…it’s never *just* about the clothes. I recently tried on some of my favorite shorts that I’ve had for years, and they just fit…differently. I started spiraling, and my thoughts were going everywhere from “Should I keep them?”, to “Should I try to shrink myself back into them?!” Talk about a total mindf*ck moment!! The truth is, our bodies change, even when we’re get...

195. Gym Lingo 101: Key Terms and Tips to Help You Feel Confident While Lifting
When it comes to the gym, it can almost feel like another planet with an entirely different language! Between the acronyms, weird phrases, and overly complicated terms, it’s no wonder you feel like you need a translator sometimes! In this episode, I’m breaking down common gym terms and lifting lingo in a way that actually makes sense. From reps and sets to volume and intensity, you’ll finally understand what the hell people mean when they say “progressive overload”, “time under tens...

194. Why Protein Isn’t Enough: The Truth About ALL of Your Macros + Why They Matter
One of my all-time favorite things to talk about? PROTEIN! It’s no secret that most people don’t eat enough of it - it takes more intention and planning, and isn’t something most people are snacking on. While protein is essential and gets a LOT of hype these days, it’s not the whole story when it comes to your nutrition. Carbs and fats matter, too! It’s super common to see women crushing their protein goals and workouts, but completely ignoring carbs and fats. Honestly, you NEED all 3 m...

193. Unf*ck the Middle: Why You’re Not “Stuck” - You’re in Maintenance
Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention in the fitness world: MAINTENANCE. Nope…It’s not sexy, or flashy, and it’s definitely not talked about enough. But… if you're serious about building a sustainable, strong, AND energized body? It’s a phase you need to understand and embrace! Maintenance is not a “break”. You’re still training with intention, intensity, and you’re pushing for progress (just in a different way). You CAN still lose fat and build muscle while...

192. THIS Is the Whole Point of Your Fitness Journey
Sometimes it’s sooo easy to get caught up in tracking macros, workouts, and step goals, that you forget WHY you started your fitness journey in the first place. Like…the whole POINT of your fitness journey isn’t *just* weight loss, or what you see in the mirror. It’s about feeling GOOD in your body, having the energy to live fully, and building confidence that carries over into every area of life! The idea for this episode came to me after hearing a recent trending IG audio that says, “I ...

191. Body Dysmorphia: The Struggle No One Talks About + Why It Doesn’t Disappear at Your “Goal Weight”
A struggle that comes up for pretty much everyone, but isn’t talked about NEARLY enough in this space? Body dysmorphia. Yep, this one hits DEEP, and is so, so real. It shows up in quiet moments, fitting rooms, mirror reflections, and even when you’re crushing your fitness goals. I’ve felt it, my clients feel it, and I KNOW you do too. Most of us are walking around with some version of it, whether we say it out loud or not. This episode was sparked by a conversation with my client ...

190. Building Strength: Lifting Heavy in a Way That Works for YOU
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how much weight you should be lifting, or comparing your numbers to someone else’s, you’re NOT alone. This is something I get asked about pretty often! Honestly…the obsession with numbers can completely derail the whole point of your workout. Here’s the truth: lifting heavy is relative. There’s no magic number that determines whether you’re doing it “right.” What matters is your EFFORT! Lifting heavy means lifting a weight that challenges yo...

188. Fitness Without the “Fluff”: How to Simplify and See Real Progress on Your Fitness Journey
Let’s be honest: most of you are out here doing WAY too much of what doesn’t matter - especially when it comes to fitness. You’re consuming alllll the content, chasing new & shiny workouts, and trying to “fix” the weekend by starting over every freaking Monday. You’re obsessing over fat burners and the “perfect” macros, but honestly, where the hell is it REALLY getting you?! Here’s the deal - more isn’t better. Doing “more” will only lead you to burnout, paralysis, and lik...

187. Redefining Fitness on YOUR Terms: What Does It Actually Mean to You?
In today’s episode, I want you to get crystal clear on what fitness ACTUALLY means to you. I’m not talking about what your Instagram feed is telling you, or what your old Beachbody program claimed it should be. If you’re serious about unf*cking your fitness, this is the first step - you can’t skip it! I used to think fitness meant burning the most calories, chasing a smaller body, and hating my workouts. For years, I had ZERO clue what I was doing, because I was following someone else’s d...

185. Moving Vs. Training: The Truth About Body Recomp and RPE
Let’s talk about a question I hear a lot: “Am I training hard enough?” The answer? Probably not…especially if you’re not seeing the results you’re working for (i.e. if your goal is body recomp)! This isn’t about being extreme or living in the gym, BUT…if you’re just moving your body without a plan and calling it “training,” you’re definitely selling yourself short! Your body adapts to what you consistently do. If you want change, you’ve GOTTA challenge it (I love using RPE as a tool to ...

183. How Sprinting Can Boost Your Fitness Routine (Even When You’re Not a Runner)
Lately, I’ve been bringing something back into my routine that I haven’t done much of in years… SPRINTING! Nope - not distance running or marathons, but good old-fashioned, short bursts of speed. I used to LOVE running back in the day! These days, I’m all about doing what feels good and supports MY body. Right now, that looks like sprinting (along with my regular lifting workouts). Here’s the thing - what worked in your 20s probably won’t work in your 30s, and what worked in your ...

Today’s episode is a special one, because I’m celebrating my 44th birthday right after this releases! Honestly…it still feels unbelievable that I’m in my 40s, and these last few years have been interesting (to say the least)! Life has thrown me some curveballs in 2025, from dealing with high blood pressure and sickness at the beginning of the year, to navigating the wild, WILD west that is perimenopause. Even with all of this going on, I’m choosing to embrace the chaos and focusin...

I’m just gonna say it: you’re NOT too busy to work out - you just aren’t making it happen. I hear so often “I’m too busy to train”, or “Life is too crazy and I don’t have time”. I totally get feeling that way, but you think I haven’t experienced that in my 16 years on this journey?! Believe me - I don’t have magical free time either, and there’s plenty of things I’d rather be doing than working out. The difference though? I’ve made the effort, and I’ve stayed consistent, because my ...

179. 10k Steps Every Day: Is It Really Necessary or Total BS?
We’ve all heard it: get your 10,000 steps a day! But…where the HELL did that even come from, and is it *actually* necessary?! Here’s the truth - you don’t NEED to hit 10k steps a day to reach your health goals. I get that not everyone has the time or flexibility in their schedule to walk that much daily. What really matters is being aware of your movement + choosing to move with PURPOSE (something that has really helped me). 10,000 steps/day isn’t magic, but it IS a remind...
