  • 040: What It REALLY Takes to Lose the Last 5-10 Pounds

    The last 10 pounds are where most people stall - not because they aren’t working hard, but because the approach that got them this far won’t take them the rest of the way. In this episode, we break down the mindset shifts and strategic tweaks that make all the difference when you’re closing in on your goal. From dialing in nutrition without becoming obsessive, to managing recovery, to staying motivated when progress feels slow, we’re giving you the tools to finish strong and keep the results for good.

  • 038: Rebuilding Myself After Baby - The Truth About My Postpartum Experience

    Today we’re diving into my postpartum experience—the highs, the lows, the mindset shifts, and everything in between. Let me tell you… no amount of knowledge can fully prepare you for what this season brings—physically, mentally, or emotionally.

    Whether you're in the thick of postpartum right now, preparing for it, or reflecting on your own journey—I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not behind, your body isn’t broken, and healing isn’t linear.

    This is a real look of what it looked like for me to rebuild my strength—inside and out—and how I’m learning to hold space for both grace and growth at the same time.

  • 038: The Mindset Distinction That's Standing In Your Way

    Today we're digging into a topic that might just change the way you approach your nutrition and mindset journey: the difference between restriction and restraint. At first glance, they might sound the same—but in reality, they create two very different outcomes.

    If you've ever felt stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle or confused about what “discipline” should actually feel like, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to recognize the difference and use that knowledge to fuel a more sustainable, empowered approach to your health.

  • 037: Radical Ownership & Taking Control with Lindsay (Macros & Mindset Success Story!)

    Today’s episode is a special one because I’m sitting down with one of our amazing Macros & Mindset members, Lindsay.

    She’s someone who came in ready for change—but like many women, she was juggling life, family, work, and everything in between. What I love most about her journey is that it’s not just about weight loss or hitting a certain number—it's about finding freedom, strength, and confidence through sustainable habits.

    You’ll hear about what held her back before starting, what shifted along the way, and how she’s showing up for herself now.

    So whether you’re just getting started or feeling stuck in your own journey—this one will give you a serious dose of inspiration and proof that it is possible. Let’s get into it.
