She specializes in working with active women and supporting them in finding a balance with their food choices and exercise routine.

We talk all about discovering your why when it comes to exercise, rest days (should you be taking them?!), carbohydrates (are they OK to eat?!) and so much more. Basically any diet/exercise myth you’ve heard, she is sharing her thoughts on and giving us the knowledge behind why these practices may or may be not true.

Episode 18- All About Breastfeeding with Summer Friedmann

This week I have Lactation Consultant, Summer Friedmann, on the podcast. Summer shares such valuable information about breastfeeding. The best part is that she shares it in little tie bits so that as new moms, or just busy moms in general, we can quickly get the answers that we are seeking.

On today’s episode we talk all things breastfeeding- common misconceptions, understanding milk supply, cluster feeding, the first few days after birth and so much more.

Whether you are a first time mom, like me, or seasoned mama- this is such a great listen! You guys can find Summer on IG @donenaturally as well as Done Naturally on Facebook and YouTube.

Episode 17 -- Keeping It Simple & Doing What Makes You Feel Good (w/Amanda Mills)

This week I have Amanda Mills on the podcast. Amanda is a Certified Barre and Cycle instructor, Personal Trainer and Holistic Nutritionist to be. She has the most adorable little girl at home and a second baby on the way!

We chat all about how Amanda approaches fitness with her clients (both virtually and in person). We dive into the benefits of a holistic health approach and how those habits lead to sustainability.

Amanda has also made an effort to introduce her daughter to a wide variety of foods (check out her Instagram for some hilarious food fails!). We talked about how she went about doing that and why she felt it was important to her daughter’s future views towards her own nutrition.

Towards the end Amanda touches on how she has been feeling in her second pregnancy and how she is approaching her nutrition and fitness in this experience. Spoiler: it doesn’t involve lying on the couch all day and eating potato chips! But don’t worry, we give you some delicious alternatives that will actually contribute towards you feeling a little bit better too !

Listen you guys, pregnancy is uncomfortable!!! Our bodies are going through some crazy changes and we are left feeling not only the physical side effects but the mental ones as well. Don't get me wrong, I would do it all over again but what if we could alleviate some of those discomforts?!

Today I am sharing some of the ways I have been supporting my body in this process through nutrition, exercise, self care and mindset. I preface with, this is what worked for ME. And although I think many of these practices could help you too, I always recommend getting clearance from your doctor and doing what works best for you.

My goal with this podcast, and specifically this pregnancy series, is to create a community of women that can uplift and support each other in this journey so that we feel less along and more supported. You can reach out to me on IG @presthelimit_fitness. I would love to hear from you!

Episode 15- Tuning Out The Dieting Noise & Reconnecting With Ourselves

This week I have Holistic Health Coach, Kristin Ryan, on the podcast. We chat about the many realms of health and how they may be impacting you. We talk about things like self care (no, not just bubble baths and Netflix binges), setting boundaries, taking labels away from foods and trusting our intuition without all the “dieting noise” impacting our decisions and thoughts.

Kristin’s insight towards health as a whole picture and simply tuning into our own feelings towards foods is such a breath of fresh air! Whether you are struggling with restrictive eating, choices on the weekends, negative self talk or you are just interested in hearing more about holistic health and how it impacts your relationship with food and/or exercise, this is a great listen!

You can find Kristin on a few platforms:

Episode 14- Our Standards & Society’s Standards for Postpartum vs. Sustainability

This week I have Brooke Miller on the podcast. Brooke is a dietician and mama that promotes intuitive eating and supports women in creating lasting, sustainable habits with their health. She is also the co-host of The Diet Riot Podcast and co-founder of The Diot Riot Membership. She talks about the awesome community that this membership has created and the valuable resources that come with it during our chat today!

We chat all about diet and exercise in pregnancy vs. postpartum - the grace that we (and society) tend to give ourselves during pregnancy but not as much during postpartum. Brooke shares her tips for mamas entering their postpartum journey (selfishly, me!) as well as some valuable ideas for beginning your journey with intuitive eating and hopping off the diet train!

You can find Brooke in a couple of places on social media. For her personal page and 1:1 coaching:

This week I have Amanda LaPorte on the podcast. Amanda brings a whole bunch of knowledge to the table with her background in exercise science and her current work towards becoming a Registered Dietician.

We chat all about diet culture - how it has created restrictive eating habits and food guilt and how we can overcome those feelings. We also chat about the “no so sexy” side of health - you know, things like you cholesterol, bone health, family background. The things that many of us feel like we don’t need to care about now but maybe we should!

Amanda has some simple and practical tips for creating sustainable habits in both your nutrition and your fitness that will not only bring you results but make you FEEL good.

Episode 12- Trendy Diets

Ever find yourself falling into the trap of all the trends? Suddenly you can’t figure out why you bought that tie dye jump suit, or why you are drinking green juice every morning or why you are no longer allowed to eat bread! It’s so easy to fall into the trends, especially when they are surrounding us in the social media world. With trendy diets, they are promising fast weight loss and quick results so of course we jump on board! But we forget to think about the sustainability of it all. Is it something we can do for the long haul? Is it something that we WANT to do for the long haul? Or are we going to feel way too restricted and miserable after a couple months ?

This week I am touching on the KETO diet, PLANT BASED diet and INTERMITTENT FASTING. I’m sharing my thoughts on all 3 approaches- when they may be beneficial and when I would suggest avoiding them. I’m also sharing how I approach nutrition with my clients in order to create sustainable habits that are actually enjoyable to them.

I am currently accepting nutrition clients and would LOVE to work with you. You can reach out to me by email (see below) to get more information and see if we would be a good fit. All nutrition coaching is currently being offered virtually.

Episode 11- Let’s Bring It Back to January 1st

Let’s go back to those good old New Years intentions. Yes, intentions and not goals. If you missed our New Years intentions episode, head on back over to that one. I have Keith on and we chat all about intentions vs. goals and why we choose intentions.

On today’s episode I am challenging you to have an honest conversation with yourself. Bring back those intentions and ask yourself -- did I stick to them? Did I set up my daily actions and actually hold myself accountable? Did I set myself up for success or did I create an unrealistic expectation? Don’t worry, I am right there with you. In fact, I take you through my own reflection of one of my intentions and **spoiler alert** it’s not all perfect!

As always, I would love for you to share out the podcast, especially if you know someone that could benefit from the information that is shared on here. That’s why I love doing this -- to create a community and get to know all of you!
