F* It!

Does the holiday season make you feel like you should abandon your fat loss goals until January? In this Twisted Tuesday walk-and-talk, Amy Ledin challenges the start-over mindset and shares a more sustainable way to approach November and December.

Amy explains why one Thanksgiving meal does not define your progress, how calendar plotting helps you plan for celebrations, and why maintaining your weight in December can be a meaningful win. Rather than restricting yourself through every event, she encourages realistic expectations and fully enjoying meals that fall outside your routine.

She also gives a candid personal update: her doctors have asked her to stay home temporarily because treatment has lowered her white blood cell count. Meanwhile, working with business coach Brock Johnson has pushed her to develop unfamiliar social-media habits and rethink how she coaches clients through the difficult early stages of change.

From feeling overwhelmed to remembering her own past struggles with holiday food anxiety, Amy connects personal growth with consistency, self-compassion, and the freedom to enjoy life while pursuing health goals. Get moving, take a walk, and listen in.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Holiday fat loss
• Thanksgiving mindset
• December weight maintenance
• Calendar plotting
• Breaking restrictive dieting patterns
• Small habits
• Burnout and grace
• Amy’s health update
• Brock Johnson and business growth.

Are you struggling to lose weight because of inflammation—or has social media convinced you that you need an expensive protocol first? In this episode of the F* It! Podcast, Amy welcomes Erik back for a candid conversation about one of the most overused buzzwords in health and fitness: inflammation.

Erik explains inflammation as a normal biological response that can support healing, while distinguishing it from chronic inflammatory conditions and symptoms such as bloating, puffiness, or water retention. They unpack why a symptom alone does not establish its cause, and why claims about losing “20 pounds of inflammation” deserve scrutiny.

Amy and Erik discuss CRP and other inflammation markers, the limitations of testing without clinical context, and the marketing of costly hormone, gut, and supplement packages. They also explore calorie deficits, inconsistent intake, realistic progress monitoring, and why sleep, stress management, walking, resistance training, and a sustainable eating structure are often better starting points.

The conversation concludes with a look at how Look Like You Train approaches a structured 28-day intake test and meal planning for people who want to reduce the guesswork. The takeaway: identify the actual problem before paying for a complicated solution.

This discussion is educational and does not replace individualized medical assessment. Persistent or unexplained symptoms should be evaluated by a qualified clinician.

When life gets overwhelming, do you double down on the habits that help you—or abandon them first? In this candid Twisted Tuesday episode of the F* It! Podcast, Amy Ledin shares two unfiltered walk-and-talk updates about food freedom, fitness setbacks, stress, and the power of keeping promises to yourself.

With Canadian Thanksgiving approaching, Amy reflects on the years she feared holiday meals, swapped favorite dishes for low-calorie substitutes, and worried about losing control around food. Today, she can prepare and enjoy the foods she loves without turning a single holiday dinner into a test of her worth.

She also opens up about a recurring forearm injury following recovery from a back injury, the steep learning curve of social media and working with coach Brock, and why walking, drinking water, and other manageable commitments still matter when motivation is low.

In a second update, Amy shares how thinly stretched she has felt while living with stage four cancer. Her central message: when circumstances are outside your control, focus on realistic actions that remain within it. Sometimes redefining success is necessary; giving up on yourself is not.

IN THIS EPISODE: Holiday eating without guilt; letting go of all-or-nothing food rules; staying present around food; injury recovery and the long game of fitness; learning new skills with patience; managing overwhelm; keeping small promises; and focusing on controllable habits during uncertain seasons.

Listen in, then share the episode with someone who needs the reminder that hard seasons do not have to mean giving up. Amy also invites listeners to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts and share it on social media.

What if the reason your fat loss plan feels so exhausting isn’t that you need to work harder—but that you’re making it harder than it needs to be? In this episode of the F* It! Podcast, Amy Ledin draws on 18 years of coaching to unpack three common traps: treating every meal like a brand-new project, switching workouts before progress can be measured, and using up your mental energy on constant fitness decisions.

Amy shares how repeating a few favorite meals can simplify grocery shopping, meal prep, and tracking; why a structured strength-training plan needs consistency and progressive overload rather than endless novelty; and how routines can reduce decision fatigue. She also reflects on hiring social-media coach Brock Johnson and why following a clear plan helped her stop second-guessing herself.

You’ll hear practical examples from Amy’s weekly meal-planning system, her approach to 12-week training blocks, and a realistic seven-day challenge: choose just ONE thing to simplify. If you’re overwhelmed by fat loss tips, workout trends, or conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation will help you focus on a plan you can actually execute.

Main points: Simpler meal rotations; consistent strength training; progressive overload and performance tracking; decision fatigue; habits, routines, and promise keeping; a seven-day simplification challenge.

Amy also offers listeners a free structured three- or four-day training program by email.

What does real progress look like when the scale can’t measure it?

In this Twisted Tuesday episode of the F* It! Podcast, Amy gets candid
about an overwhelming week of stretching outside her comfort zone,
learning from her new coach, creating more intentional content, and
noticing where she has started compromising on some of the small
promises she makes to herself.

Those little promises may seem insignificant, but Amy explains why they
matter. When life feels exhausting or emotionally heavy, skipping the
habits that help you feel cared for can make things worse—not better.
After receiving biopsy results she wasn’t pleased with and allowing
herself a brief “pity party,” Amy comes back to a familiar lesson:
shortchanging herself in the areas of self-care does not serve her.

Then the episode shifts to another kind of progress—one that has taken
years to build.

Amy reflects on losing 90 pounds roughly 20 years ago and realizing that
reaching her goal weight did not automatically create a healthy
relationship with food. At the time, she was restrictive, divided foods
into “good” and “bad,” and struggled to trust herself around foods she
feared she might overeat.

Today, she can bake donut holes and cookies for her church café without
the same stress, obsession, or internal debate. The difference is not
simply willpower. It is the self-trust she has built by intentionally
including foods she once demonized, planning for out-of-routine
situations, understanding what she is eating, and making decisions in
advance.

Amy explains how pre-designing those decisions can reduce the constant
mental negotiation around food. Instead of living in an “on plan” versus
“off plan” mindset, she encourages creating a structure that allows real
life to fit into the process.

Most importantly, Amy challenges you to broaden the way you measure
success. Progress is not only your weight, clothing size, or appearance.
It is also how you feel around food, how you handle social situations,
whether you trust yourself, and whether foods that once controlled your
thoughts have lost their power.

If you still feel stressed around certain foods, Amy offers a practical
starting point: intentionally build a few of those foods into your plan
and prove to yourself that you can enjoy them while still making
progress.

Because the goal is not simply to reach a number. It is to become
someone who can trust herself when real life happens.

You hired a coach. You invested the money. You got the roadmap. Now comes the part that actually determines what happens next: being coachable.

After joining an Instagram growth mastermind, Amy suddenly found herself back on the client side of coaching—and staring at new systems, new expectations, new strategies, and a massive learning curve. The experience gave her a fresh appreciation for exactly what clients feel when they begin a new fitness or fat-loss program: overwhelmed by everything they think they suddenly have to do.

In this episode, Amy turns that experience into a practical coachability audit. She explains why confidence is built through evidence, why smaller promises can create more progress than unrealistic ones, and why meeting yourself where you are does not mean staying there. She also digs into the danger of mixing multiple experts' advice, skipping the “little” steps, quietly changing a plan instead of asking questions, and reacting before you've collected enough consistent data.

Most importantly, Amy makes the distinction between hiring someone to guide you and expecting them to do the work for you. A great coach can provide the roadmap, strategy, feedback, and adjustments—but they cannot keep your promises, execute the plan, or walk the road for you.

Main points include keeping promises to yourself, building self-trust through evidence, meeting yourself where you are while continuing to progress, actually following the methodology you hired someone for, reducing conflicting outside noise, not skipping foundational steps, asking questions instead of freelancing, allowing enough consistency to collect useful data, and recognizing that no coach can out-coach your resistance.

If you've ever hired a coach, started a program, questioned whether the plan was working, or found yourself overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode gives you a direct framework for evaluating whether the missing piece might be the plan—or how you're engaging with it.

Sometimes growth looks like doing the thing that makes you cringe. Sometimes it looks like staying in your own lane instead of comparing yourself to everyone around you. And sometimes, growth has nothing to do with achievement at all—it simply means being there when someone you love is hurting.

In this Twisted Tuesday episode, Amy opens up about returning home from Dallas energized by a new mastermind, only to find herself battling overwhelm, fear of failure, comparison, and a serious case of imposter syndrome. She knows that growing her platform means showing up differently—and more authentically—but knowing what you need to do doesn't make doing it comfortable.

Instead of waiting for the fear to disappear, Amy is leaning directly into it with an interactive social-media challenge designed to push her outside her comfort zone. Her goal isn't simply gaining followers. It's proving to herself that growth can happen when you willingly do things that scare you.

The episode then becomes much more personal.

Amy shares why Kevin, her ex-husband and longtime podcast producer, recently needed time away after his brother Collin died following a long struggle with mental health. She also discusses the additional losses Kevin's wife and family experienced shortly afterward and why she believes difficult subjects like mental health, suicide, grief, and the realities families face shouldn't simply remain unspoken.

It's an episode about discomfort on very different scales: taking a chance on yourself, allowing yourself to be a beginner, supporting people through circumstances you cannot fix, and continuing to show up when life gets painfully real.

In this episode, Amy talks about: returning from Dallas and confronting the learning curve of a new mastermind; feeling like an imposter while comparing herself with people further ahead; why authenticity matters even more in an increasingly AI-driven social-media world; doing uncomfortable things despite feeling awkward or afraid; her interactive challenge to reach 20,000 Instagram followers; why doing the work matters more than simply buying another program or hiring another coach; supporting family members through grief; the difficulty families can face when someone they love is struggling with mental health; creating opportunities for people to help; and why difficult conversations need to happen instead of remaining hidden.

Amy made it to Dallas—and the trip didn’t exactly go according to plan.

After traveling alone to an Instagram growth event where she expected to know absolutely no one, Amy found herself confronting several things that normally make her uncomfortable: meeting strangers, navigating social situations alone, changing plans, eating outside her normal routine, and accepting that even the best preparation can fall apart.

Then something unexpected happened. She connected in person with Lindsay, someone she had known online for roughly 15 years, and the two immediately clicked. She also discovered just how intentional successful content creators are about getting people to stop scrolling, pay attention, and actually see their message.

But one of the biggest lessons from Dallas had nothing to do with Instagram.

Amy had carefully mapped out her meals before the trip, packed food, planned ahead, and even created a “Dallas trip contract.” Then delayed travel and a packed event schedule changed everything.

Years ago, that disruption could have triggered an all-or-nothing response: if she couldn’t follow the plan perfectly, she might as well go completely off the rails.

Not anymore.

Amy explains the mindset shift that helped her stop treating travel, weekends, and disrupted routines as opportunities to “get away with” everything before getting back on plan. Instead, she’s learned to make the best decision available in the moment—and then move on.

In this episode, Amy talks about getting outside her comfort zone, the surprising power of connecting with people in person, what she learned about intentional social media growth, staying flexible when nutrition plans fall apart, breaking the all-or-nothing mentality, and learning to live by one powerful principle: High intentions, low attachment.

Sometimes the best opportunities happen when you stop overthinking and simply **shoot your shot**.

Amy starts this Twisted Tuesday walk-and-talk with some good news: her missing Oura Ring was found. But after spending several days without it, she’s looking at wearable tracking differently. Instead of obsessing over daily scores, Amy wants to focus on the information that actually helps her—especially menstrual and temperature trends as she approaches menopause.

Then the story takes an unexpected turn.

After receiving a last-chance email offering tickets to a live social-media growth event, Amy decided to reply and explain why she should be there. She had a feeling she was going to win.

Two hours later, she was in.

Now she has four days to prepare for Dallas while juggling immunotherapy, work, family and the logistics of a completely last-minute trip.

And then comes another surprise: Amy and her husband discover that an old Marriott Bonvoy account connected to their business American Express card has accumulated **more than 3 million points**—enough to make the spontaneous trip considerably easier.

But underneath the funny stories is something bigger.

Amy admits that after experiencing burnout and a lull with social media, simply showing up consistently isn't enough anymore. She wants to learn the strategy behind reaching new people, then put two decades of experience in health, fitness, coaching, personal growth and chasing her best self back into the world.

This episode is about taking the chance, keeping promises to yourself, learning the skills you’re missing and being willing to show up again—even when you don't have everything figured out.

Thank you for being here — whether this is your first episode or you’ve been with me since Episode 1.

We’re choosing anchored.

Sometimes the smallest things can completely change the direction of your day.

In this Twisted Tuesday episode, Amy keeps things casual and real, starting with the unexpected excitement of “hair day.” After Leilani carefully plans around schedules, rides, and appointments to see her favorite stylist, a last-minute case of food poisoning throws the entire plan off. But the cancellation unexpectedly opens another door—and suddenly Amy gets her own long-awaited haircut too.

The conversation then shifts from a surprisingly good change of plans to the exact opposite: a technology nightmare.

After years with an aging MacBook, Amy gets a new computer and initially thinks the migration has gone perfectly. Then she tries to open Excel.

What follows is more than three hours of Microsoft 365 login problems, license errors, multiple email accounts, reinstallations, troubleshooting, ChatGPT, Claude, and finally the discovery that she has run straight into a known technical glitch.

Instead of simply ranting about technology, Amy connects the frustration to something bigger: how we respond when things don't work, the challenge of learning new skills as we get older, and the importance of recognizing when frustration is taking over.

She also shares what she's hearing from women in their 40s and 50s who have spent years putting their children, spouses, careers, and everyone else ahead of themselves. Eventually, neglecting your own health can start showing up in ways that go far beyond appearance—including blood pressure and A1C markers.

The answer doesn't always have to begin with a massive transformation.

Sometimes it starts with a walk.

This episode is a reminder that plans change, technology fails, frustration happens, and some problems simply cannot be solved immediately. Take the deep breath. Get some movement. Work on what you can control. Then come back and try again.
