Why does the first two weeks of a new plan feel AMAZING… and then suddenly, it doesn’t?

In this episode, I’m deep in the honeymoon phase of my 8-week photoshoot cut—riding the dopamine wave, loving the structure, and fully convinced I have my life together. But I also know what’s coming… the inevitable dopamine crash.

We’re talking:
🔥 Why new plans feel SO good (and why that feeling fades)
😵‍💫 The ‘Bored Now’ moment when motivation vanishes
🎯 How to beat the drop-off and stay consistent anyway

Because let’s be real—motivation is a liar. Your systems are what keep you going.

For nearly 30 years, I was told I had anxiety and depression—but nothing really explained why life still felt so damn hard. Turns out, I wasn’t just anxious, I was navigating the world with undiagnosed ADHD & autism. And I’m not alone.

So many women go undiagnosed for decades because of outdated diagnostic criteria, masking, and straight-up gender bias.

Hit play to learn:

🔥 Why ADHD & autism in women fly under the radar
🔥 The ridiculous gender bias in diagnosis
🔥 How masking leads to burnout & chronic stress
🔥 The wild connection between perimenopause & late diagnosis
🔥 Why fitness & ‘healthy habits’ feel impossible sometimes

Alright, let’s get real for a second—how often do you feel like you’re “masking”?

Not a literal mask, but emotionally pretending to be something you're not—whether it’s in the gym, during a workout, or just in everyday life.

It’s exhausting, right?

In this episode, I’m unpacking masking—that thing we neurodivergent folks (and honestly, everyone) do to fit in or meet expectations.

From stimming to pushing ourselves too hard in workouts just to keep up appearances, masking can take a toll on our fitness, mental health, and overall well-being.

And trust me, I’ve been there.

I’m sharing my personal struggles with masking in the gym and how it led to burnout, plus practical tips to help you drop the mask and show up authentically for yourself.

Fitness doesn’t have to be perfect, and neither do we.

Let’s embrace the real, messy, and beautiful versions of ourselves—mask off and all.
