Episodes
Let’s be honest — we’ve all said it: “I’m just too busy.”
But is it really that we’re too busy… or that we’ve stopped setting boundaries?
In this episode, Coach Jen and I unpack what being busy actually means and how it’s quietly draining your energy, your confidence, and your connection with yourself. We talk about how to stop using busyness as a badge of honor, how to create systems that work for y...
If you’ve ever felt like the fitness industry is talking out of both sides of its mouth, you’re not wrong. From “never train fasted” to “lift light for lean muscle” to “ditch the scale,” women are constantly bombarded with mixed messages that make staying consistent nearly impossible.
In this week’s episode, I break down why so much of what you’ve been told is flat-out wrong and what actually matters if ...
Ever said, “I know what to do—I just need to be consistent”? This episode breaks down why that thought keeps you spinning your wheels. I explain how knowing isn’t enough, why your old strategies don’t fit your current life, and what you actually need instead.
We’ll cover:
- Why “consistency problems” are really strategy problems
- How different life seasons demand different plans
- The 4 essentials: clarity, ...
If anyone had a reason to put fat loss on hold, it’s Ashley—six kids, constant travel, a business, and zero “perfect timing.” Instead, she’s down 15 pounds in just 9 weeks.
In this episode, we break down how she did it: simple nutrition swaps, 20-minute strength sessions, and accountability that works at Disney, parties, and road trips.
We dive into:
- Why a parasite cleanse and “trying everything” left ...
“Calories don’t matter for fat loss—just focus on hormones and gut health.”
You’ve heard that line before… but is it true?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the real science behind fat loss and calling out the BS that’s confusing so many women. I talk about why calories do matter, how hormones and gut health actually influence fat loss, and the dangerous rise of overcomplicated protocols (and overpr...
Ever felt like “discipline” culture is doing more harm than good? Or that postpartum “bounce back” talk ignores real life? In this episode, coach James Cappola and I get honest about extremes, why behavior change beats aesthetics, and how to spot toxic advice online.
We dive into how we first connected (yes—a call-out!), the moment James ditched brute-force dieting for performance and patience, and how a...
In this episode, I’m diving into the fitness myths that sound convincing on social media but are secretly keeping you stuck.
I cover:
- Why building muscle isn’t the fat-burning shortcut people claim it is
- Why protein alone won’t build muscle and how it only works when paired with resistance training
- Why intuitive eating doesn’t work for fat loss when your hunger cues are deregulated
I even share the ...
In this episode, I speak with Sandraliz — a longtime dispatcher, wife, and mom who spent years trying every diet and trainer program under the sun. After hitting a breaking point, she joined Powerhouse Academy and found a new level of balance, confidence, and results.
We talk about:
- Why fad diets and cookie-cutter programs fail women long-term
- The breaking point moment that made Sandraliz say “enough i...
You’re not failing because you’re lazy.
You’re failing because hidden mental health roadblocks are sabotaging your results.
In this episode, Coach Jen and I dig into the connection between mental health and fitness and why toxic positivity, perfectionism, and “all-or-nothing” thinking keep women stuck in cycles that no diet or workout plan can fix.
We cover:
- Why fat gain is usually just a symptom, not t...
Balance isn’t a 50/50 split between fun and discipline.
It’s alignment with what actually matters to you.
In this episode, I call out the comfortable misalignment so many women live in saying yes to everything, people-pleasing, skipping workouts, and calling it “balance.” I share why this illusion is keeping you from the health, confidence, and freedom you want, and how to build a version of balance...
You don’t need more discipline.
You need a plan that fits your actual life.
In this episode, I get real about why so many women struggle to stay consistent and why it has less to do with willpower and more to do with trying to follow unrealistic plans that were never built for real life. From back-to-school chaos to vacation hangovers and holiday excuses, this episode is the wake-up call (and strateg...
You can spend $20,000 on a mommy makeover…

You’re not alone, and you're not wrong for wanting more.

Still counting calories and wondering why nothing’s changing?
You’re not alone, and the fix isn’t what you think.
In this episode, I sit down with TV meteorologist Ali Turiano to talk about what happens when you’re doing everything “right”—and still not getting the results you want.
We discuss the emotional weight of body image struggles, the pressure of being on camera, and why tracking every calorie does...
Is it really just about eating less and moving more?
Here’s the truth: it’s way more complicated.
In this episode, Dr. Christle and I unpack everything the weight loss conversation usually leaves out... hormones, hunger, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, and the emotional toll that comes with doing “all the right things” and still feeling stuck.
We’re getting honest about why smart, capable women are still s...
Ever feel like taking care of yourself makes you a “bad mom”?
Like every time you try to prioritize your health, confidence, or happiness, guilt shows up and shuts it down?
Yeah… we went there.
In this episode, Coach Jen and I get brutally honest about the mom guilt epidemic, what it’s really costing you, and why putting yourself last isn’t noble—it’s destructive. From skipped vacations to sexless marriag...

You’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone. The supplements, the burnout, the “I should know better” spiral? Been there. It’s draining.
I'm sitting down with Dr. Natalia—a powerhouse mom, doctor, and nutrition expert —wh...
Sick of wellness advice that sounds good but does nothing? Same.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the sanitized BS that’s passing as “health” these days, and making the case for why fat loss has to be part of the wellness conversation (no, it’s not toxic—it’s honest).
