  • Taking Care of Yourself Is the Least Selfish Thing You Can Do

    I’ve been called selfish for prioritizing my workouts, my walks, and my health.

    But I’ve started to believe that taking care of yourself might be one of the least selfish things you can do.

    Because the people you love don’t just need your time. They want you there, healthy, capable, full of energy, and able to participate in the moments that matter.


    Taking care of yourself gets to be for you.

    And everyone you love gets to benefit from that version of you, too.

    The strongest version of you is built between the reps. 🤍

  • Are You the Woman Who Can Keep What You’re Asking For?

    What if the reason you don’t have what you want yet isn’t because it isn’t coming, but because you’re still becoming the woman who can hold onto it?

    In this episode, I’m sharing a question I’ve come back to for years whenever I feel frustrated by the gap between where I am and where I want to be:

    Am I the woman I need to be to maintain the life I’m asking for?

    Your dream body. Your business. Your relationships. Your life.

    Maybe the goal isn’t as far away as it feels. Maybe this part, the building, practicing, learning and becoming, is exactly what makes you capable of keeping it when it arrives.

    The strongest version of you is built between the reps. 🤍

  • You Don’t Get Extra Credit for Suffering

    Somewhere along the way, we started treating enjoyment like the enemy of discipline.

    Like your workouts should suck, your food should be boring, and pursuing a goal is supposed to feel like one long sacrifice.

    I don’t buy it.

    In this episode, we’re talking about why enjoyment is one of the most underrated consistency strategies, the difference between doing hard things and making things unnecessarily hard, and why a plan you actually enjoy doesn’t make you less disciplined, it makes your discipline more sustainable.

    Because you don’t get extra credit for suffering.

    If there are ten roads that can get you where you want to go, you don’t have to deliberately choose the one you hate.

  • You Can Decide Something Isn't Working

    I almost didn't record this episode.

    I convinced myself I had too much to do, too many hats to wear, and not enough time. Then something clicked.

    At any point, you can decide something isn't working anymore.

    That doesn't always mean quitting. Sometimes it means changing the way you do it. Sometimes it means changing your schedule, your systems, or your expectations.

    But before you change everything, there's one question you have to ask yourself:

    Is the system actually broken... or am I not honoring the boundaries I've set for myself?

    In this episode, I'm thinking out loud about self-audits, boundaries with ourselves, the trap of constantly optimizing instead of taking action, and why imperfect action will almost always beat the "perfect" plan.

    This one's a little messy, completely unplanned, and probably one of my favorite conversations yet.

    I'd love to hear what you think.

  • Consistency Isn't What You Think It Is

    What if the reason you can't stay consistent... is because you've been defining consistency the wrong way?

    Most people think consistency means following the same routine every day. But life changes, schedules change, and perfect weeks don't exist.

    In this episode, we're talking about what consistency actually looks like in real life, why adapting is more important than repeating, and how a simple mindset shift can help you stop feeling like you're constantly starting over.

    If you've ever thought, "I just need to be more consistent," this conversation is for you.

    Grab a Diet Coke, and let's chat. ❤️‍🔥

  • Hard Truths I've Learned by 33

    Today's my 33rd birthday, and somehow every birthday since turning 30 has felt like a completely different chapter of my life.


    I've learned some things the easy way, and a lot of things the hard way.


    So today I'm sharing some of the biggest hard truths I've learned along the way. The ones that changed how I show up in my relationships, my health, my career, and the way I treat myself.


    This episode is a little scattered, a little reflective, and probably the most "me" way I could've started this podcast.


    I'm really happy you're here. 🤍

About Between the Reps

From the publisher's feed

I don't think the strongest version of you is built during the workout, it's built in the moments between the reps. In the choices no one sees. The conversations that change us. The days we don't feel…
