Maintenance Mindset Mondays is all about cracking open the conversation about what REAL maintenance looks like – beyond the scale and deep into personal transformation. Join Gina and Odette as they dive into the week’s focus, share insights on all things maintenance, and answer your questions. Whether you’re new or experienced, there’s something for everyone!

This week’s episode is all about confidence, consistency, and levelling up—whether it’s your routine, your mindset, or even your why. Gina and Odette kick things off with some Superbowl fun (and questioning if flared pants are really making a comeback), then shift into how to fully enjoy your choices while staying in tune with your body. In this week of Maintenance, it’s all about trust—trusting your body, your decisions, and your ability to keep progressing. They're reframing the “messy middle” into the magical middle, turning up the volume on our inner voice, and recognizing that you already have what it takes—no matter what life throws your way.
