In this episode, I sit down with Neha Nautiyal, a vegetarian macro coach who lost 30 pounds, without giving up her beloved Indian food. If you’ve ever felt like macro counting means sacrificing your cultural dishes or eating separately from your family, Neha’s story will show you a different way. We talk about how she overcame the challenge of fitting high-carb, low-protein traditional meals into her macro goals, and how she ditched the “either/or” mindset to find balance. This conversation is about more than just food; it’s about embracing your culture while still making progress toward your goals. If you've ever felt stuck between two worlds, this episode is for you.

Summer is here! And with it comes vacations, getaways, and a break from routine. But if you’re working on your health and fitness goals, you might find yourself wondering: Can I enjoy my trip without throwing away all the progress I’ve made? The answer is yes, and in this episode, I’ll show you how. I’m diving into the mindset and strategy behind navigating vacations in a way that feels aligned, intentional, and guilt-free. Whether you choose to track, loosely estimate, or take a break altogether, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and that’s exactly the point. I’ll walk you through how to get clear on your priorities, make decisions ahead of time (instead of in the heat of the moment), and find your version of balance, so you come home feeling empowered, not regretful. If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile vacation fun with your fitness goals, this episode is your guide to doing both with confidence. Let’s dive in!

In this episode, you’ll get an inside look at a Live Coaching Call from my signature program, MACROS 101. I sit down with Kelly, who’s feeling “behind”, a struggle so many of us face. Together, we uncover what’s really going on: comparison. It’s quiet, it’s discouraging, and it often fuels self-sabotage. But the truth is, you’re not behind, you’re simply on your timeline. This conversation will help you see that. As you listen, ask yourself: Where is comparison showing up in your life and keeping you stuck?

Ladies, if you lift, run, jump, or even just sneeze, this is an episode you need to hear. Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t just a postpartum or aging issue; it affects active women of all ages and often goes unaddressed…until it becomes a problem. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Courtney Johnson, DPT, aka The Female Athlete Doc, a pelvic floor physical therapist who gets the gym. She speaks the language of lifting and doesn’t believe in sidelining women from the barbell. Instead, she’s all about keeping you active, strong, and leak-free. We dig into the real function of the pelvic floor, why Kegels aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and how every lift is a chance to train your core and pelvic floor, if you know how to use it. You’ll walk away from this conversation feeling empowered, educated, and maybe even rethinking how you brace for your next set of squats. Ready to lift smarter (and leak less)? Let’s jump in.

Get ready for some serious light bulb moments in this episode as I share a live coaching session from one of our MACROS 101 calls with Anna. If tracking your food has ever felt overwhelming, frustrating, or like a constant test of perfection, you’re going to relate to this one. Anna came into our conversation feeling stuck—swinging between obsessively tracking every gram and giving up altogether when she couldn’t be perfect. Together, we unpacked her resistance and reframed tracking as a tool for learning, not a test to pass or fail. You'll hear the exact questions I asked that helped shift her mindset and reveal how powerful a simple perspective change can be. Tracking isn’t about control—it’s about understanding. And when you approach it with curiosity instead of judgment, that’s where the real freedom begins. Let's dive in!
