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’re not alone, and the fix isn’t what you think.

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 you’re doing everything “right”—the training, the meal planning, the mindset work—and yet still stuck when it comes to feeling strong, confident, and balanced? 

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.

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).

Ever found yourself thinking, “Is it really me... or is this weight loss thing way more complicated than I’ve been told?”

Maybe you’ve side-eyed the Ozempic hype, gotten whiplash from the ever-changing advice (it’s carbs-no wait, cortisol-no wait, glucose spikes!), or felt straight-up gaslit by the fitness industry.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, the internet’s favorite meme-slinging...

Think every fitness coach is cranking out perfect “after” photos like some magic body factory? Cute. Let’s talk about the real story.

I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest lies in the fitness industry: the 100% success guarantee. Spoiler—some clients' ghosts. Some fake their food logs. Some aren’t ready to do the damn work. And guess what? That’s real life.
