  • Create a Plan That Works for YOU | PD Fit Bits

    That woman you are comparing yourself to? She’s NOT more disciplined than you. She’s NOT better than you. She just has a plan that works for HER life. Sue is back for a quick-hitting episode on how you can be that woman by working smarter and not harder.


    Listen in as she leads you through creating a plan that works for YOU, not one that works for someone else. If it doesn’t fit, it won’t stick. It's time to stop trying to squeeze yourself into someone else's blueprint and start building one that actually fits YOUR life.

  • How Coaching Helped Molly REBUILD Her Confidence & Find LASTING Success | Client Spotlight | PD Podcast Ep.223

    Today, we're diving deep into our client Molly's remarkable transformation journey from struggling with confidence to becoming a thriving nursing student. Molly opens up about her life before coaching, sharing the pivotal moment when she realized she needed professional help to regain her confidence and make overdue life changes.


    We explore how her initial coaching experience with Alex became the catalyst for not just physical transformation, but a complete mindset shift that empowered her to tackle other areas of her life that had been neglected. Together, they reveal the practical side of her journey, including how she navigated the demanding schedule of nursing school while maintaining her fitness goals, food planning and preparation that made success possible, and transitioning from focusing on fat loss to embracing muscle gain!

  • STOP Trying to Shrink Your Way to Progress (Agness' Transformation) with Coach Mia | PD Fit Bits

    Diet culture has taught us that eating less is always the answer—but what happens when your coach tells you to eat MORE?


    That's exactly the conversation Coach Mia had with her client, Agness. Even when you think you're doing everything right, chronic under-eating can sabotage your progress. The constant message to "shrink your food to shrink your body" creates a cycle of over-restriction that works against your goals.


    In this episode, Mia shares how she helped Agness reach her goals by increasing her calories and teaching her to fuel her body without fear. Eating more might be the missing piece in your own health journey.
