Every season in my 15 year fitness journey has been a lesson in determination and grit...a test to see if I would quit or keep going! This current season is proving to be the same. This episode is about my current personal struggles as well as my mindset to get through it.

There is always something that could be in our way if we let it... life, family, health issues, self sabotage. There are always reasons and excuses why we can't get started: I'm too busy, I'm too old, I'm too overweight.

 I want to drill into your mind that - It's not too late!
 
Whatever the goal is...it's not too late!

At 42 I know my life and body are going to change and I know I can figure it out and keep going. It's not too late for me or for you! Even if you have a long way to go... it all starts with the first step1 I have learned how to navigate changes for myself and my clients and I know it's important for you to be inspired too! Let's navigate these life transitions together and continue to redefine what it means to be fit and healthy at any stage of life.

The title pretty much says it all! "THIS SH*T IS NOT OPTIONAL".

I see so many people approaching health and fitness with an optional mentality... 

• When it's gets hard, you quit. 
• When it's time consuming, you quit
• When it feels uncomfortable, you quit
• When you are not motivated, you quit
• If it "doesn't work for you", you quit

A lot of things in life are not optional... health and fitness should be one of those things.

From the moment I realized this was a life-long journey I decided to never quit. Sure, I have had my share of set backs and difficulties but I never gave up or stopped completely. It's hard (so hard) to show up and workout or track my food when I don't want to... but it's also hard to parent, or work, or to do many other things I do in a day but I show up and do my best in all things.

The difference is the mentality and how I think and speak to myself: It's simply not an option to go more than 2/3 days without a workout. It's not an option to hit my protein goal. I will no it no matter what.

You need to adopt this same mentality if you want to keep showing up. At first it will feel forced and before you know it you will be doing new habits without thinking about it.

Most of the ways I see other people approaching macros do not work for me. For example: Have you ever found yourself knee-deep in tupperware during a weekend meal prep marathon, only to end up with food that you don't even want by Wednesday? Yeah, me too.. and I hated it.
 
I needed to figure out how to make macro tracking work for ME!

I started learning about macros at the same time I learned to budget (which I talk a lot about in this episode). I saw success through being perfect with both and thought I needed to maintain that perfection to maintain the results. This quickly became impossible and I knew I had to figure out how to make macros fit into my life, not the other way around.

This episode is full of real talk that you NEED to hear.  I love to discuss and teach macros in a way that makes it seem doable for anyone. With a mindset shift, some planning and permission to screw up I think you will find it's more simple than you think! I hope you enjoy this episode!

Do you get stuck wondering why it feels like you never get any closer to making progress or reaching your goals?  Sometimes you even feel like you are working hard but you still quit or get stuck!? Things always happen to cause setbacks in your progress??

There are 4 traits, mindsets, attitudes that I have noticed in myself and my clients over the years that cause this feeling of being stuck. In this episode I am sorting through them with you so you can easily identify if these are what it holding you back... and if so, what you can do to change it!

Sometimes it's a default habit, an inconsistent follow through or simply just a matter of wasted time that can be changed if we only notice it first.

I think you will find this episode realistic, eye opening and helpful!

I'm dishing out some real talk about those New Year's resolutions. You know, those promises we all make to ourselves as the previous year fades away? Well, it's time to check in. Are you still working hard toward your goals? Have you already given up?

I am somewhere in between, and if you are too... this episode is for you! I'm sharing my personal insights on why a January slow start isn't just okay—it's actually pretty smart. (If I do say so myself!!)

What happens when the excitement of a fresh start meets the reality of old habits? What happens when you realize you bit off more than you could handle? That's where we need to pivot to creating resolutions and standards that actually stick. I'll break down how to set goals that won't leave you feeling defeated by the rest of the year and the secret sauce to sustainable success (hint: it's not just about the grind). From taking on one habit at a time to finding accountability in unexpected places, this episode is packed with little game-changing strategies that have improved not just my fitness routine, but my business too. I hope you are ready to make this year truly count!

This episode covers two important topics: The mindset you need to see success with macros and the correct way to find your calorie/macro goals.

If you approach macros from a place of restriction you are doing yourself a disservice. Macros are the way you fuel your body for longevity and true health, it's not a quick fix. I help my clients view macros differently and this episode will help you too! 

Knowing how to set up your macro targets is a common struggle and I wanted to be sure to give you my practical thoughts on that topic. Finding your maintenance calories is the first step to setting up your macro goals (not an online calculator). I think you will appreciate the simple, personalized  strategy I give in this episode.

As you already know, I believe in a lifestyle change. I do not teach restriction, excessive cardio or short term results but I think my thoughts on this challenge will surprise some of you!

This is the first episode of 2024 and it's going to start your year off in a great way! We're talking about the 4 things you need to do to creating a strategy that aligns with your body's needs and your goals so you can feel confident in your journey.

The strategy I lay out in this episode is a crucial part to seeing results.
1. Gain the knowledge
2. Make the choice
3. Have a strategy
4. Commit

I go into detail about each topic and explain WHY each is so important in completing. Most people skip these 4 steps and therefore are always stuck in a cycle of wondering if they are taking the right action. I want you to take control of the situation so you can feel in control of your body.

This episode will help you get started on the right foot this year!

Let's chat about the current most popular fitness trends I am seeing all over Instagram! I can't get on social media for any amount of time without seeing something claiming to get rid of the "mom pooch" or "snatch your waist" or release trauma in my body. And as you can imagine.... it drives me crazy.

These posts and videos are most commonly created to gain views or mislead you into believing you need what they are selling ... NOT to actually help you. The marketing can be tricky! They target our deepest insecurities and use key words to grab our attention. We are so easily persuaded by the visual that we fail to think through whether that person is qualified to make such claims and whether we need what they are selling.

Knowledge is power in the fitness game, the more you know the less you will be distracted by the shiny objects or tempted to try yet another program that is just a  sleazy marketing tactic. Get ready for some real talk in this episode!!
