I had the pleasure of interviewing Makena Diehl—a California native turned NYC fitness instructor who’s made waves with her high-energy Cardio Sculpt class at Equinox (where I first met her). Since then, she’s expanded her impact, teaching at Fuze House, hosting private workout events, and collaborating with Free People Movement.

Makena opens up about her personal journey with eating disorders and body dysmorphia, and how it fuels her mission to inspire other women to find joy in movement and embrace body positivity. She's not only an incredibly motivating presence but also deeply thoughtful—committed to creating a more supportive, empowering fitness space for all.

You can find her on instagram and tik tok @makenaraediehl

You'll only get the title if you listen to the episode ; )

I think it's easy to get comfortable in our existing friendships — and there’s nothing wrong with that — but sometimes it keeps us from noticing the potential for new connections in our everyday lives. Relationships that can make us feel seen, safe, and help us build a stronger sense of community.

Switching up the podcast drop for a mini vlog! Let me know what you think and dont forget to follow !! Love you

There are some misconceptions about working from home, and having done it for a year now, I wanted to clear the air and share my perspective. Things I like, dislike and dispute rumors (like we don't work ) that I think are false!

Dating in NYC is already a tough topic, and social media and dating apps seem to make it feel ten times worse. I wanted to share some thoughts on how social media can negatively impact the way men and women approach dating, and how it often sets unrealistic expectations for people already in relationships.

I consider myself a confident person, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the origins of self-confidence and how I think it evolves during different stages of life, including pre-adolescence, adolescence, college, and young adulthood

I came across this topic online (shocker) and then, coincidentally, overheard a woman at my yoga studio say the same thing to her friend. It immediately struck a chord with me.

There’s a lot of guilt in admitting that your work might be the least interesting thing about you, but I want to share why you shouldn’t feel that way. And why that doesn’t also have to mean you don’t care about it

I met Tabytha through New York Pilates, a reformer Pilates studio in NYC and the Hamptons. Beyond being an incredible instructor, I was immediately drawn to her energy, warmth, humor, and depth. She shares her journey into fitness, her life philosophies, and the beauty of living freely.

Now, she's heading back to her hometown, Philly, to open her own Pilates studio! You can follow her on Instagram @BodyByBates and on YouTube, where she'll be sharing at-home Pilates workouts inspired by astrology. ✨

lol who knows if we can even post vlogs on spotify but i went to turks & caicos with two of my BFFS from college and we had a BLAST!!
