If you’ve been feeling like you need to do more to see results more workouts, more time, more intensity… this episode is for you.

Right now, I’m in my third trimester, dealing with back pain, navigating iron deficiency, and still showing up with a simple 3-day workout structure that’s actually working.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I’m training, how I’m adjusting to what my body needs, and why doing less but better is the key to staying consistent and seeing real results.

Because the goal isn’t perfection… it’s sustainability.

🔑 What You’ll Learn

•  Why 3 structured workouts a week can be enough 
•  How to build your workouts around compound movements 
•  The exact split I’m using (upper, lower, conditioning) 
•  How I’m adjusting training with back pain and pregnancy 
•  What my recent blood work revealed and how I’m responding 

💬 Real Life Updates

•  Third trimester training adjustments 
•  Back pain + adding hip and support

We talk about:

• What my body is currently going through in the third trimester
• Adjusting workouts and why it’s not quitting
• Why weight loss alone is not the goal
• My plan to breastfeed for a year and how that shifts my approach

The peptide industry is going through a major shift.

With recent FDA crackdowns, company closures, and legal challenges affecting well-known providers, many people are left wondering what this means for their health, their options, and the future of peptides.

In this episode, I break down what’s really happening behind the scenes without the hype.

You’ll learn:

•  Why certain peptides are being restricted 
•  What’s going on with companies like Transcend 
•  The risks of unregulated, “research-grade” peptides 
•  And where the industry is heading next 

This isn’t about fear it’s about understanding the shift and making informed decisions for your health.

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my recent trip to Orlando and why this weekend was such a powerful moment in my wellness journey and business.

This wasn’t just another conference. It was a weekend filled with big announcements, innovation in the wellness space, and a reminder of how important it is to continue learning, growing, and surrounding yourself with people who are building something meaningful.

I talk about why I believe in staying close to emerging health technologies, why leadership events like this matter for personal growth, and what it means to be part of something in its early stages.

If you’re someone who cares about improving your health, building better habits, and staying open to opportunities that can positively impact your life and your family, this episode is for you.

In This Episode We Cover

•Why I traveled to Orlando and why these events are important for growth
• Major announcements from the weekend, including new peptide innovation
• The introduction of a GLP support stack for metabolic health
• What it means to be part of a company that has reached $100M in its first year
• Why timing matters when opportunities are just beginning
• How leadership, health, and business can work together to create a bigger vision

My Biggest Takeaway

Being in the room with leaders, innovators, and people who are passionate about improving wellness reminded me that growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you continue to invest in learning, take action on opportunities, and surround yourself with people who are building something bigger than themselves.

What does it really look like to run at 20 weeks pregnant after taking two weeks off?

This week, I made it “running week.” After focusing on strength training, I returned to running for three consecutive days  building from one mile to two miles at a 9:24 pace. But that first mile? A 10:21 struggle.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• The mental battle of restarting running during pregnancy
• Why the first mile often feels the hardest
• Research-backed benefits of running while pregnant (when cleared by your provider)
• How to approach high-impact exercise responsibly in the second trimester

If you’re an active woman navigating pregnancy and wondering whether you can keep running this episode is for you.

Pregnancy isn’t about PRs. It’s about maintaining strength, endurance, and identity.

I haven’t recorded a podcast episode since mid-December, and today I’m sharing why.

I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant, and this season has required more from me than I expected physically, mentally, and emotionally. In this episode, I’m opening up about the pause, the pressure I felt to “stay consistent,” and what pregnancy is teaching me about health, habits, and letting go of perfection.

We talk about:

• Why taking a pause doesn’t mean quitting
• How pregnancy has shifted the way I define health
• Letting go of unrealistic expectations and “shoulds”
• Why grace creates more consistency than discipline
• How to stay connected to your habits during low-capacity seasons

If you’ve been feeling behind on your goals, disconnected from your routine, or frustrated that your capacity looks different right  now this episode is for you.

This is a reminder that health has seasons. Consistency doesn’t mean intensity. And showing up imperfectly still counts.

I’m grateful to be back, and I’m excited to share more honestly in this season of life.

💛 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement or send me a message and tell me what season you’re in.

In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Cramer, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor serving Illinois and Colorado, who specializes in brain mapping (QEEG) and neurofeedback therapy. This conversation opened my eyes to how much our brain activity influences learning, behavior, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, and even how we recover from concussions.

Whether you're a mom, an athlete, or someone navigating stress, this episode gives you a clear understanding of how the brain works and how innovative, non-invasive technology can help support healing and better mental health.

✨ What We Talk About in This Episode

🔹 What Is a Brain Map (QEEG)?

Lisa breaks down what a quantitative EEG is, why it matters, and how it’s used to read your brainwave activity similar to how an EKG reads your heart.

🔹 Who Can Benefit from Brain Mapping?

Anyone  kids, teens, moms, athletes, older adults.
Her clinic has worked with ages 4 to 87.

🔹 Signs Your Child Might Need a Brain Map

As moms, we always wonder what's “normal”  especially with emotions, focus, or school struggles.

One of the biggest signs: your gut feeling. Moms always sense when something is off.

🔹 How Neurofeedback Works

Lisa breaks this down beautifully and simply

🔹 Anxiety, Depression & the Modern Epidemic

We dive deep into:

• Why anxiety has skyrocketed in kids, teens, and adults
• How social media, comparison culture, and digital overload affect emotional health
• Why many people have unresolved high-beta “fight or flight” brainwave patterns
• Why some people never truly heal with therapy alone if the brain is dysregulated

🔹 Brain Changes After Illness or Head Injury

Lisa explains why things like:

• COVID
• Viral infections + high fever
• Concussions
• Falls
• Old sports injuries

🎧 Listen If You Are…

• A mom worried about your child’s emotions, meltdowns, or learning
• An athlete dealing with concussion symptoms
• Someone who feels “off” and wants clarity
• A parent overwhelmed by anxiety in your home
• Interested in non-medication options for mental + emotional wellness
• Curious about how brain waves connect to your daily life

Thank You for Listening!
