What does progress actually look like when you’re trying to lose weight and build strength at the same time? In this episode, we break down simple, realistic ways to track your fitness journey—without overcomplicating it. 

Using weight loss as our example, I explain: 

• Why your workout routine doesn’t need to change drastically for fat loss
• The power of maintaining or increasing your lifting load while in a calorie deficit
• How newbie gains help you improve faster early on
• Why it gets harder to build strength as you get leaner and more experienced
• The mental and physical benefits of focusing on performance, not just the scale

If you’re new to the gym or struggling to see progress, this episode will show you what to look for—and how to build momentum week after week.

We all fall off track. Whether it's fitness, reading, mindfulness, or personal growth — the cycle of starting, stopping, and starting again is something almost everyone goes through.

In this episode, I share a personal look at my own struggles with consistency — from rehab routines to meditation and self-development — and unpack the truth most people don’t talk about:
👉 It’s okay to stop... as long as you start again.

We’ll explore:

• Why stopping isn’t failure — and how it actually elevates your next attempt
• Examples from my own life where I’ve fallen off track (multiple times)
• The mental shift that helped me stop beating myself up and just restart
• Strategies to reduce guilt and get back on track faster
• Why we’re not meant to “do it all forever” — and that’s okay

If you’ve ever felt ashamed for “falling off” — this one is for you.

Here’s a tight, motivational script for your new Power60 episode:

🎙️ Power60: Push Forward Today

"Push forward.
Do something — anything — that moves you closer to your goal.

Even if it’s five minutes.
 Even if it’s just jumping jacks in your bedroom.
 Even if you’re tired, unmotivated, or don’t know where to start.

Momentum is built in the micro-moments — not in waiting for the perfect time.
So take 60 seconds. Move. Act. Breathe.
Push forward. Today."

 Starting at a new gym can be intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, I share realistic mindset tips to help you build confidence, shake off anxiety, and stay focused when you’re just getting started. 

We talk about: 

• The #1 thing you need before you even walk in the gym
• Why nobody is watching you (even if it feels like they are)
• What to do if you don’t know how to use a machine or find equipment
• How inefficiency and awkwardness are just part of the beginner process
• Why repetition = confidence, and it does get easier

Whether it’s your first week or you're restarting after a long break, this one’s for you.

New Year’s is here — and with it comes a flood of goals like “I want to lose weight” or “I’m going to the gym more.” But let’s be real: vague resolutions don’t last. In this episode, I walk you through how to turn your fitness goals into SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound), so they actually work.

We cover:

• The truth behind “I want to lose weight” — and how to break it into a realistic, trackable plan
• What “go to the gym more” actually looks like when your schedule gets in the way
• Why even “perfect” goals fail if you don’t plan for setbacks (vacations, birthdays, holidays)
• How to build better systems and metrics to stay accountable

📩 Plus: I’m offering free goal reviews! DM me on Instagram with your New Year’s resolution and I’ll help you refine it — no strings attached.

In this raw and honest episode, I open up about one of my biggest ongoing challenges: getting injured — a lot — and the struggle to stay consistent with rehab after I feel better. Sound familiar? 

I’ve spent years bouncing between pain and recovery. While I’m great at following rehab protocols when things hurt, I often drop the ball once I’m back in the gym. That pattern has led to repeated setbacks. In this episode, I share exactly where I’ve failed… but also the simple, real-world strategies I now use to stay on track long-term, including: 

• Writing rehab exercises directly into my workout plans
• Using a whiteboard with visual checkboxes for accountability
• Tapping into past pain for emotional reinforcement

Whether you're constantly rehabbing, restarting, or just struggling with long-term consistency, this episode will give you actionable tools and a dose of motivation to keep going — even after setbacks.

Tired of hearing (or saying) "I just don’t like working out"? In this no-nonsense episode, I call out the childish mindset that’s holding so many people back. The truth is: you haven’t tried everything. There are countless ways to move your body, and you don’t have to love it — you just need to do it. From lifting weights to dancing, hiking to boxing, there’s something for everyone — but making excuses won’t get you results. It’s time to grow up, stop generalizing, and take action. 

Whether you’re brand new to fitness or just stuck in a rut, this episode will shift your perspective and challenge you to take accountability.
