Hey friend!

Do you often find yourself going a little crazy on the weekends?

Maybe you can be 'good' throughout the week, but the weekend hits, and it's like all bets are off.

This used to be me. I would eat so good all week long, but by the end of the day and pretty much every weekend, it was like a monster took over and I'd just go nuts.

Then, I'd beat myself up, feel pretty crappy, and swear I'd never do it again...

we all know how that goes, right?

It wasn't until I finally learned how to ease up a bit on the will power and pressure I was using to make my food choices, that I was actually able to make better choices more consistently and NO crazy weekend eating episodes.

If you want to learn how I did it (and am no helping other women do the same) this episode is for you!

And, if you're ready to finally ditch the diet, feel good in your body while working on your fitness goals, I got you!

Have you ever felt like certain foods were your  enemy, lurking in the dark corners of your pantry, ready to derail your health goals? 

This episode is for you. 

Together, we take a deep breath and step into the muddy waters of diet culture, shining a light on the widespread carb phobia that's been fed to us over the years. 

I pull from personal experience and my client's post-keto struggles to discuss the harm in demonizing carbs and the liberation that comes from food neutrality. 

By embracing a non-diet approach, we foster a peaceful relationship with food, one where self-discipline doesn't mean deprivation, allowing for intentional choices free from guilt.

In our quest to break the cycle of dieting, we walk through practical strategies for maintaining energy and emotional balance. 

Learn how planning meals can prevent decision fatigue and keep you clear of the restrictive mentality diet culture often promotes. 

By reconnecting with our body's natural hunger and fullness cues, we start toward intuitive eating, leaving behind the guilt, shame, and stress of binging and restricting. 

If you're ready to find freedom from the fear of food and step into a healthier relationship with your plate and your body, tune in and let's embark on this path to well-being, together.

When my family faced a health crisis, I knew something had to change about the way we were living our lives. My husband was diagnosed pre-hypertensive when he was mid-20s. That scared both of us into getting healthy so he didn't need to live the rest of his life on medication. Especially because high blood pressure runs in his family.

 In our latest episode, I share 10 reasons why strength training is so much more than a means to lose weight for women—it's a gateway to a world of

increased metabolism
improved body composition
a newfound sense of empowerment

Forget about obsessing over the scale

it's time to redefine what true health looks like and how resistance training can be the cornerstone of a vibrant, empowered life.

Our conversation extends beyond the physical, addressing how a stronger back, core, and lower body can revolutionize your posture and offer relief from the pain that comes with our desk-bound lifestyles.

But perhaps even more impactful is the discussion on the mental health benefits that arise from a consistent exercise routine

—think less depression, less anxiety, and a hefty boost in self-esteem.

We also contemplate the concept of 'banking' muscle for the future, ensuring independence and mobility as we age. 

This episode is more than just a talk; it's an invitation to you to start prioritizing strength training in a way that fits seamlessly into your life, promising a journey towards a stronger, more empowered you.
