If you've ever found yourself in a gas station at 7 PM during tournament season, desperately searching for something that fits your macros while your kid's game runs late - this episode is for you. I'm sharing how my client Jennifer transformed from weighing food at concession stands to confidently navigating sports season while staying on track with her goals. No more "I'll start fresh Monday" mindset!
What You'll Learn:
• The 4-part Sports Season Macro Strategy that actually works
• Why focusing only on protein targets during tournaments is a win, not a compromise
• How to build a template meal system for game days
• The mindset shift that turns "weekend damage" into "weekend navigation"
Transform your relationship with lunch prep from daily dread to empowered self-care through a revolutionary three-question framework.

This episode unveils how a simple mindset shift around lunch planning becomes a powerful tool for building consistency and self-trust, featuring practical strategies that work for both meal prep enthusiasts and day-by-day planners.
Today we're diving into something that feels especially timely - that September surge of motivation to "get back on track." Through Maria's story (wait until you hear how this healthcare worker used her kids' homework time to transform her own habits!), I'll show you how to harness this back-to-school energy for lasting change. Remember when Maria thought she needed perfect conditions to start? That journey from waiting to taking action is exactly what we're exploring. I'm breaking down why September is actually better than January for starting habits and giving you practical tools to make changes that stick. Because here's what I believe - you don't need to wait for the perfect time to start taking care of yourself.
Today we're tackling something that's probably making your heart race - the back-to-school chaos and how to maintain your healthy habits through it. Through Lisa's story (wait until you hear how this school administrator transformed her morning chaos into power routines!), I'll show you how shifting from perfect routines to power routines can keep you consistent when life gets crazy. Remember when Lisa felt like she had to choose between taking care of herself and managing the back-to-school transition? That journey from overwhelm to organization is exactly what we're exploring. I'm breaking down the psychology of habit stacking and giving you practical tools to build routines that bend without breaking. Because here's what I believe - you don't need perfect conditions to take care of yourself.
Today we're diving into something that probably has you nodding your head - the exhausting cycle of comparing yourself to everyone else's social media perfection. Through Michelle's story (wait until you hear how this forty-three-year-old mom stopped measuring herself against twenty-something fitness influencers!), I'll show you how shifting from external validation to internal progress can transform your entire journey. Remember when Michelle thought her twelve-pound weight loss "didn't count" because it wasn't as dramatic as the transformations she saw online? That journey from comparison to confidence is exactly what we're exploring. I'm breaking down the science of social comparison and giving you practical tools to celebrate your unique path. Because here's what I believe - your journey doesn't need to look like anyone else's to be valid.
Today we're tackling something that probably makes you laugh (or cry) - the myth of "finding time" for self-care. Through Jessica's story (just wait until you hear how this administrative assistant with three teenagers transformed her relationship with time!), I'll show you how shifting from "I don't have time" to "I have pockets of possibility" can change everything. Remember when Jessica was eating granola bars in her car between kid activities? That journey from time scarcity to time abundance is exactly what we're exploring. I'm breaking down the psychology behind time perception and giving you practical tools to find time that's already there. Because here's what I believe - you don't need more time. You need to use your time differently.
If you're reading this as a mom who feels like you've lost yourself somewhere between sleepless nights and endless needs, I need you to know something: you didn't disappear when you became a mother. I know it feels like you did, and I know you might feel guilty for missing parts of your old self. But what if I told you that feeling lost isn't about losing yourself—it's about not knowing how to be all of who you are in this expanded life?

In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest struggles I see in my coaching practice - the fear of carbs. From my heartbreaking consultation with a client eating only 30g of carbs daily to transformative stories of women finding food freedom, I break down why adequate carbohydrates can be crucial for both performance and sustainable fat loss.
Through science, client experiences, and my own journey from carb-fearer to confident coach, I show you how to fuel your body without fear. If you've ever felt guilty about eating an apple or anxious around bread, this episode will help you start to rebuild trust with food and your body.
If you've ever avoided weights because you're worried about getting "bulky," this episode is for you. I'm tackling the biggest myths about women and strength training head-on, sharing both science and stories from my years coaching hundreds of women.
I share my personal journey from deadlifting half my husband's weight to full, plus transformative stories like Lisa, who went from fearing weights to asking for a promotion after hitting a 135lb deadlift. Through research and real experiences, I show how strength training isn't just about muscle - it's about building confidence that spills into every area of life.
Whether you're completely new to strength training or just need permission to lift heavier, this episode will help you rewrite your strength story. 💪
Ever spend Sunday meal prepping only to order pizza by Tuesday? Yeah... me too. In this episode, I'm getting real about why those Pinterest-perfect meal prep systems fail us busy moms and what actually works instead.
I share my "Base + Options" method that's saved my sanity, plus the story of my client Jessica who finally broke free from the meal prep dropout cycle after 8 months of "failures." Spoiler alert: it involves accepting that done beats perfect every single time.
