There was a season of my life where I was constantly restricting, starting over on Monday, and trying to eat as little as possible to feel in control.

What started as “discipline” turned into yo-yo dieting, food obsession, and eventually a broken relationship with my body.

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact nutrition “rules” I stopped following — and what I replaced them with — that helped me:

• Stop restricting
 • Build muscle without fear
 • Improve my hormones and digestion
 • Feel strong instead of starved
 • And finally feel at peace around food

If you’re tired of living in cycles of on-track and off-track… this one is for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why eating less and doing more can actually keep you stuck — especially if you’ve been “dieting” for months (or years) and your body still isn’t changing the way you want. I share my own story of how I got leaner eating more, plus the science behind metabolic adaptation, NEAT, hormones, and why your body fights fat loss when it’s under-fueled. We’ll talk about reverse dieting, why building muscle matters more than chasing a lower scale number, and how to create a plan that helps you look and feel your best without living in restriction.

If you’ve been stuck, tired, puffy, craving, or scared to eat more — this episode is for you.

If this episode hit home, share it with a friend who’s been stuck in the diet cycle.

So many women think their problem is:
 “I’m not motivated enough.”
 “I don’t have enough discipline.”
 “I’m broken.”

But what if the real problem is that your brain has been trained to chase comfort instead of growth?

In this episode, we talk about dopamine — the chemical that drives desire, ambition, and motivation — and how modern life is quietly rewiring it against you.

You’ll learn:

• Why scrolling, snacking, and constant stimulation make it harder to change
• Why motivation disappears even when you want something badly
• How your brain learns to avoid discomfort and seek instant relief
• The dopamine–motivation connection and the pleasure-pain balance
• How to retrain your brain for better habits, fewer cravings, and long-term consistency

This isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about becoming the woman whose brain is wired to move toward her goals instead of away from them.

Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right — but still stuck in the same place with your fitness, mindset, or confidence?
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken.
You’re likely just caught in a mental loop that’s quietly sabotaging your progress — and rewiring your brain to stay stuck.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the hidden habit that blocks so many women from reaching their goals (without even realizing it).
You’ll learn:

- Why repeated negative thoughts literally reshape your brain
- What neuroscience says about stress, motivation, and consistency
- How daily complaints affect your hormones, energy, and emotions
- And 7 science-backed strategies to rewire your mindset for abundance, joy, and sustainable progress

This one’s part mindset shift, part brain science, and part real-life healing — with practical tools to help you feel better, train smarter, and finally get out of your own way.

If you’re ready to stop living in survival mode and start becoming the version of you who feels strong, confident, and grounded — hit play.

Have you ever thought you "just aren’t a disciplined person”? Or felt like staying consistent with your goals was this impossible uphill battle?

Girl, I got you — because in this episode, I’m flipping everything you thought you knew about discipline on its head.

Most people think discipline means restriction, punishment, or crazy willpower. But real discipline? It’s about building systems that make success easier than failure — so you don’t have to rely on motivation or feel like you’re constantly starting over.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
 ✅ Why discipline isn’t a personality trait — and how anyone can build it
 ✅ How to design your environment so you don’t need superhuman willpower
 ✅ My own struggles with consistency, and what finally changed everything
 ✅ Practical, real-life examples of systems you can create for your nutrition, workouts, bedtime, and more
 ✅ How to replace old habits with better ones that align with your goals
 ✅ Why structure creates freedom — and how you can actually enjoy the process of reaching your goals

If you’re ready to finally get consistent in your fitness, nutrition, or life — without burning out or beating yourself up — this episode is for you.

Why do you find yourself craving chocolate, chips, or ice cream even when you’re not hungry?

In this powerful episode of Her Revival, we dive deep into the psychology of snacking and cravings — unpacking everything from classical conditioning and emotional eating to the real meaning behind specific cravings (like chocolate or salty foods).

You’ll learn:

• Why you feel the urge to snack in certain places or emotional states
• How your brain’s conditioning creates automatic eating habits
• What cravings might reveal about your nutrient needs or emotional state
• Simple, actionable strategies to rewire your habits and take back control

This isn’t about guilt or restriction — it’s about understanding, awareness, and choice. Because cravings aren’t your enemy; they’re your body’s way of communicating.

Ready to break the stress-snack cycle and feel empowered around food? Tune in now.

This is the conversation I needed to hear when I was younger and still struggling on my fitness journey.

Today, I’m honored to sit down with my friend and mentor, Chelsea Tansey, as we dive into her journey from survival to transformation—and the mindset shifts that can help you rewrite your own.

Chelsea shares:

• What drove her to leave home at 16 and how she found control—and purpose—in fitness and entrepreneurship.
• The unseen danger in “healthy extremes”: how bodybuilding and hustle culture became the next level of disordered eating, and what she did to break free.
• The moment it clicked: watching others struggle, realizing it wasn’t about her body—but about her brain.
• Why confidence isn’t a size, rep count, or calorie tally—but built through identity, self-trust, and rewriting your worth.
• How uncovering trauma and living in shame fueled her growth—and how she learned to lean into God, vulnerability, community, and processing to find true healing.
• The power of shining a light on your shame: “Your body is not a storage system—it’s a processing system.”
• And how having faith and surrendering to something bigger shifted her entire way of living well.

This conversation goes deeper than fitness—it’s about how you heal the mind and heart before you change your body. If you’ve ever chased the next number on the scale, wondered what happens after hitting a goal, or felt stuck in perfection and shame, this episode is for you.

Set aside some stillness after listening—this one deserves space to land. And if something stirs you, share it with a friend or send it in to us—you’re not alone, and healing is possible.

Let’s dive in.

My Podcast with my boyfriend, Alex: The Physique Revival Podcast 

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by nutrition advice, trapped in restriction, or confused about how to eat for energy, strength, and confidence — this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Her Revival, I’m breaking down my personal nutrition philosophy — the exact approach I teach my 1:1 clients and use myself to build a body that feels as good as it looks.

We’re covering:

• The core nutrition principles that helped me heal my relationship with food
• What I believe about whole foods, protein, carbs, and fats
• How I time meals around workouts to feel fueled and strong
• Why tracking your food isn’t obsessive — it’s empowering
• And how to ditch diet culture for good and finally feel free around food

This episode will leave you grounded, clear, and ready to eat in a way that supports your body instead of working against it.

Because fueling your body isn’t about eating less — it’s about eating better, smarter, and with more confidence.

Think you need to eat less to get leaner? Think again.
 If you’ve been cutting calories, pushing hard in the gym, and still not seeing the “toned” look you’re after — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Her Revival, I’m breaking down the top 3 signs you’re undereating (yes, even if it doesn’t feel like it), why it’s holding you back from fat loss and definition, and what to do instead to build the strong, lean, confident body you actually want.

We’ll cover:

• Why eating less can increase bloat, fatigue, and cravings
• The real reason your body composition isn’t changing (even if the scale is)
• How to shift from “eat less, do more” to fueling for results that last

If you're tired of feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your body just isn’t cooperating — this one’s going to hit home. Because you’re not broken. You’re probably just underfed, overstressed, and following advice that was never made for women who want to thrive.
