  • EP 97 - Your Body is a Vehicle to Experience Life - Joe's Story
    Joe “Dawg” Hallam is our guest on the show today, sharing the message that it’s not just women who struggle with body image. As someone who has struggled with his weight for his whole life, and like most people believed that when he achieved the so-called “ideal” weight, he’d be happier, healthier and more confident. However, he noticed when he achieved the lower weight, he felt anxiety, rather than confidence; he felt like a stranger to himself AND he definitely was not healthie...

  • EP 96 - Overcoming Body Shame and Creating the Life You WANT - Kandace’s Story
    In this episode we’re joined by Kandace, a recent graduate from my 1:1 coaching program, Right Body For Me. Kandace shares her story of body shame, where she was consumed with constant, intrusive thoughts that her body was wrong, which caused her to feel disconnected from her family, angry, isolated and hopeless. Intellectually, she knew that she was loved and loveable, but struggled to believe it because all she could see were her “faults”. During the interview, you’ll hear how Kandace was a...

  • EP 95 - "You Get What You Pay For" - Dispelling this and other toxic messages from the fitness industry
    In recent episodes, we’ve been looking at fitness “motivation” sayings that are anything but; but sometimes the messages that come out the fitness industry are down right toxic. Today, our co-host, Lisa MacDonald shares a meme that came across her social media feed that was especially harmful and hurtful. Tune in as we dig into this message, dispel the myths and assumptions it carried and provide some tools to build your resilience as we enter into diet culture’s favourite season. Abou...

  • EP 94 - Does this count as exercise?
    With fitness culture constantly telling us we have to work out an hour a day, 5 days a week as hard as we can, if we want to “get results”, it’s only natural that we would believe that anything less isn’t good enough. If I had a nickel for every time I heard “well, walking doesn’t count” or “stretching isn’t enough”, I’d have a nice little nest egg. On this episode, co-host Lisa MacDonald and I poke some holes in these statements by discussing the benefits of walking and stretching, and share...

  • EP 93 - When You're Too Spent at the End of the Day to Exercise
    Do you ever feel like despite your best set plans, sometimes you really struggle to find the energy and motivation to move your body at the end of the day? A lot can happen over the course of a day that can influence our desire to exercise - stressful day at work, unexpected emergencies, demands on your time and energy - it makes sense that some days are harder than others to feel motivated. The usual advice is, just get it done first thing in the morning. But if you’re not a morning pe...

  • EP 92 - Crunches Are Out - How to Build True Core Strength
    We all know that having a strong core is important, but most people make the mistake in thinking a strong core = a flat stomach or a six pack. This couldn’t be further from the truth. How your stomach looks has nothing to do with the strength of your core, AND your core is so much more than just your abs. Tune in to this “mini masterclass” to learn Why having a strong core is so importantWhat exactly is the core, beyond just the absHow to engage your coreHow to train all the parts of yo...

  • EP 91 - When You're Not as Fit as You Used to Be
    When returning to a fitness routine, it can be really easy to fall into a trap of comparing yourself to a previous, fitter, version of yourself. “How did I get so out of shape?” “Why did I let myself go?” “It’ll take me forever to get back to that level.” “I used to feel so good, now everything is just hard.” While it’s possible to improve our fitness and achieve goals by criticizing and antagonizing ourselves…. Often this kind of negative self talk results in staying stuck or at the very l...

  • EP 90 - Fitness Motivation Sayings that are Anything But: "We All Have the Same 24 Hours in a Day"
    It’s true we all have 24 hours in a day, but we don’t have the SAME 24 hours. This common fitspo phrase implies that no matter one’s circumstances or values - fitness should be a top priority; that it’s simply a matter of deciding to choose working out over other activities. The truth is we all have different demands on our time, energy and mental resources. We all have different priorities and values. Movement matters, and also, you get to decide how much it matters to you. Tune ...

  • EP 89 - The Problem with Non Scale Victories
    Non Scale Victories refer to those gains or benefits we experience from exercise routine besides weight loss. Things like having more energy, being able to lift and move things without help, feeling less winded during everyday activities, and sleeping better at night. While these are all good things, they are often viewed as “secondary wins”, things we usually only celebrate if we’re not seeing changes in our body’s shape or size. In this episode we’ll explore why that is problematic a...

  • EP 88 - 5 Tips to Add Movement into your Workday
    It’s no secret that sitting at a desk wreaks havoc on your body. If your job involves working at a computer, you’ll be all too familiar with the stiff neck and shoulders, tight hips and low back pain that tend to accompany this type of work. Not only that, prolonged sitting has an effect on our circulatory system that increases your risk for chronic health problems - some call office work “the new smoking”. In this episode we’ll explore how to mitigate that risk and get feeling looser a...
