Y'all. It's been a minute!

My last podcast episode happened in May 2025, and then... life happened.

But we're back, and I'm looking to keep this podcast up again. I'm tired of short-form content that no one looks at.

So let's dig deeper into meaningful conversations, quality information, and getting people here who are meant to stay!

This episode is just diving back in...

Updating you on how the rest of 2025 went over at JLFitLife.

The creation of a new program.

Re-discovering spirituality.

Uncovering some qualities about myself.

Moving.

And here we are!

For 2026, we're looking to grow our roots.

To grow in the places that we have found meaning and purpose.

And to connect with those along the same path.

Because fitness and lifestyle isn't just about aesthetics, it's about growing and challenging yourself in the best ways possible.

The StrongHer Forge

Fellow online fitness coach Christy Ewing joins me for the first time to talk all things health + fitness! This was a fun conversation to kind of compare notes as fitness coaches, yet share our different experiences in the industry.

Christy is a Mom of 4 boys, so she totally understands the chaos of motherhood and how difficult it can be to prioritize exercises and nutrition. She shares some awesome tips on how Mom's can start moving the needle towards their goals using simple and sustainable methods.

We share some insight on how we like to keep our health + fitness practices fresh and fun, as well as some mindset hacks and ways that you can rewire your thoughts to better align with the person you want to be.

Be sure to follow and give The FitLife Podcast a 5 star review if you enjoyed this episode!!

*Don't listen to this episode without listening to the whole thing!*

The rise of "chasing skinny" seems to be making a return.

If you're a Millienial, a lot of the "mantras" we used in the 2000's are resurfacing amount a trend called "SkinnyTok"- a subgroup on TikTok.

As cringey as this is, why does it seem to be so motivating for some people?

Jacqui talks about the nuances of SkinnyTok, why it might work, but the caveats that need to be considered for the sustainable aspect of our goals.
