  • Episode 60: Don't Skip This One with Lacy Healey

    In this episode, Kylie and Kara welcome Lacy Healey to the podcast. Lacy is an online health and fitness coach and business mentor to other female coaches with 12 years of experience in the industry. You may also know her as “My Coach Lacy.”

    Lacy joins your hosts for an incredible conversation (if you couldn’t tell by the title of the episode!). Lacy shares her story of being diagnosed with hashimotos hypothyroidism and her battle with doctors who ultimately left her with extremely unhelpful advice. Lacy shares how many of the things that she tried to “fix” her hashimotos diagnosis - from eating very little calories to becoming a marathon runner, actually only made things worse for her. Many of the things she tried in her health and fitness journey before finding the answer to true health, are the same things that many of our clients and listeners probably have tried / will try at one point or another, so this is an important message for all.

    Your hosts and Lacy also dive into what reaching health and fitness goals as a busy mom looks like and they give you tips and tricks to stop making things so complicated and difficult for yourself!

    This episode is full of important nuggets that we feel you need to know if you’re currently on a health and fitness journey and looking for not only long-term maintenance of your goals, but your health as well.

  • Episode 59: We Are STILL Uncomfortable (Kylie's Version)

    Kylie and Kara are back to continue getting personal and vulnerable following last week's episode. In August, your hosts opened up about their own respective personal health and fitness journeys and what they've been struggling with in their current season of life, and in last week's episode, Kara dove DEEP into what she's gone through in every step of the journey since then (and even more detail on the months that led up to last August).

    They're back this week with "Kylie's version" of the last year. She chronologically addresses her post-competition journey and departure from bodybuilding, and the immense stress she was under from many different situations to follow (from her long-term relationship ending to getting drugged on vacation to car problems, she doesn't hold back). Her and Kara discuss the impact that these physical and mental stressors had on her body, the unwanted weight gain, and how she's currently on a healing journey with her coach.


    Once again, they dive into the highs, the lows, and everything in between in this open, vulnerable, and raw conversation. Kylie and Kara hope that this helps listeners understand how much stress and trauma impact your health and fitness journey, and also offer some reassurance that you are NOT alone if you're struggling with your mental health, and hopefully provide some valuable perspective and insights to get through these difficult chapters, too.

  • Episode 58: We Are STILL Uncomfortable (Kara's Version)

    In this week's episode, your hosts are getting a little more personal (I know, how can it be MORE personal? It is!). Back in August, Kara and Kylie did an episode called "We Are Uncomfortable" where they opened up about their own respective personal health and fitness journeys and what they've been struggling with in their current season of life.


    They're back this week with a much-overdue update focusing on Kara's story, and everything she has been through over the past year or so. She chronologically addresses her post-birth control journey, and what this process has looked like for her both physically and mentally. They dive into the highs, the lows, and everything in between in this open, vulnerable, and raw conversation.

    In the next episode, Kylie will be doing the same with where she's at and what her last year has looked like. The intention of these episodes is to offer some reassurance that you are NOT alone if you're struggling in your own current season of life, and hopefully provide some valuable perspective and insights to get through these difficult chapters, too.

  • Episode 57: How to Transform Your Body with Laura King

    In this episode, Kylie and Kara welcome their good friend, Laura King, to the podcast. Laura is an online health and fitness coach, and helps women reach their body composition goals through her signature program, The Rebuild Method. 

    Laura joins your hosts for an important conversation about transforming your body aka body recomposition.  Laura shares her background of nine years in the industry, as well as her own personal fitness journey, and all of the things she did wrong which led her to her mission today: helping women avoid the same mistakes. Together, Laura and your hosts address whether weight training or cardio is best for your goals, what body recomp is and the best ways to make it happen (and last), and even provide a mini-checklist for specific areas to focus on if your goal is to lose fat and build muscle.


    This episode is full of myth-busting, and another great reminder that when it comes to health and fitness: context really is everything.

  • Episode 56: Staying Fit During Pregnancy with Olivia Lagunzad

    In this week's episode, Kylie and Kara welcome their good friend, Olivia Lagunzad. Olivia is an online health and fitness coach and the owner of Livelite Fitness. Olivia and her team help all types of women at different places in their journey to reach their health and fat loss goals, but have recently honed in on being a "team by moms for moms."


    As a new mom herself, Olivia chats with Kara and Kylie about her personal experiences balancing fitness and pregnancy as well as provides insight to how she coaches her clients throughout pregnancy (and beyond) as well. They discuss important nutritional changes and adjustments made for the different phases of pregnancy and postpartum, changes that can/should be made to workouts, tips for handling morning sickness, food aversions, and other pregnancy obstacles, and different ways to measure progress with health and fitness throughout your pregnancy.

    One of the biggest focuses of this conversation is how, just like with health and fitness in general, every mom/mom-to-be has a different journey. No pregnancy is the same, and it is important to give yourself grace and understanding if your health and fitness journey while pregnant doesn't look the same as someone else's. Olivia opens up about what this was like for her through a challenging pregnancy, and encourages all women to just do the best they can and be kind to themselves as they go through this transformative period.

  • Episode 55: Consistency Over Perfection

    In this week's episode, Kylie and Kara break down the importance of being consistent over being perfect. It’s easy for many people to get into the mindset that they have to be 100% perfect when starting their health and fitness journey — but ultimately this causes them to fail. Rather, we want to focus on being 85-90% consistent for the long run. 


    Although the topic of “balance” can be played out, Kylie and Kara believe it’s extremely important for you to find that flexibility in your own routine. The girls open up about what ”balance” looks like to them and offer tips to help you find consistency and sustainability in your health and fitness journey.

  • Episode 54: Combatting Comparison Syndrome

    In this week's episode, Kylie and Kara dive into an important topic that almost anyone can relate to: comparison syndrome. We are all guilty of envying others from time to time -- whether it is what they have, what they look like, how their career is going, etc. However, constantly comparing yourself to others -- especially in your fitness journey -- can really have a negative impact on your life and mental health.


    Kylie and Kara open up about their struggles with comparison syndrome, why comparing your journey (in any aspect) to others is a waste of time, and how they work to combat it in their own lives. They also provide some tips and real talk to try to help listeners get on the other side of it as well. They feel this episode is going to be highly relatable, and hope it helps you be kinder to yourself!
