In this episode, I tell my story about how fitness took over my life and I transformed my career from being a veterinary technologist to a self-employed personal trainer.

I talk about how being a personal trainer started out for me, working as a self-employed new mom, and how COVID impacted my business and forced me to take a long look at my business and make some big changes to it.

In this episode, let's talk about weight loss vs fat loss.

When we want to lose weight, most of the time we really want to decrease our body fat, fit better in our clothes, & feel good about ourselves. This actually means, what we really want is to lose body fat, not necessarily just weight on a scale.

And I talk all about that in today's episode. Why your goals shouldn't be centred around just weight loss alone as well as how to lose body fat, build some muscle (i.e get "toned"), get more fit and feel better about yourself.

• What are my workouts like right now?

• Why do some trainers say you shouldn't eat fruit?

• Do I make workouts or specialize in post-partum or post-c-section?

• Is it better to workout in the morning?

• How to get rid of belly fat & love handles?

Ever wondered about what the deal is with calories & macros?

As a personal trainer, I get a lot of questions about what are macros, are they different than calories? Should you track just calories or just macros?

In this episode, I talk all about calories, and macronutrients (macros). I also go over each different macronutrient (carbohydrates, fats & protein) why they are important and necessary in your diet!

In your fitness & exercise journey, you may come across some injuries now and then.

Some may be minor that only throw you off for a couple of days. And some, well might do a lot more than that.

In this episode, I tell my story about my multiple knee injuries and surgeries and how one day at jujitsu changed the trajectory of my training, and the health of my knees forever.

I talk about how going through this experience challenged me in ways I never thought possible. But in the end, I've come out on top a more persistent and determined person.

It can be frustrating and discouraging when you feel like every time you start on your weight loss journey and you fall off track. And getting back on track can be such a hard feat that you procrastinate and avoid doing it for fear of failing again.

If that sounds like you or maybe you are going through it right now, this podcast is for you!

In this episode, I talk about how to get back on track to your goals when you've fallen off and how to "get back on the horse".

Speaking of which I also tell a story of my most recent adventure of starting horseback riding again and how it didn't exactly go as planned...

Do you get frustrated when the scale doesn't move?

Or do you think that the scale is the only sign of progress worth monitoring in your weight loss journey.

If it goes down, it's good. If it goes up, it's bad.

Well, you're not alone in your frustration with the scale, and it's not that a scale is a bad tool for progress tracking. However, you're forgetting that there are so many different ways to measure progress that the scale is only 1 tool amongst many.

In this podcast, I talk about 10 different ways you can measure progress that have absolutely nothing to do with the scale.
