I believe that you do have to understand and track macros to really have success in your health and fitness journey. I don't know if I have ever said that in such a firm way before (since it's not going to match everyone's opinion) but F-it.... it's the truth.  I am going to stand by my opinion here.

To have confidence in anything you have to understand it ... your fitness journey is no exception. I truly believe that you cannot Intermittent Fast, Keto (or insert any other diet) your way to true health and wellness, not long term. You have to understand your journey to be able to make it work for you.

Macros are more than just an App that tracks your food, it's about treating your body well. I talk in this episode about how I do things differently, how macros create freedom for me and why I think they are the best way to overall success in having the body and lifestyle you want.

The smart scale I mentioned in the episode: RENPHO SCALE

I know how exhausting, overwhelming and stressful this time of year (...or any time of year if we are being honest) is. Which is exactly why you need to hear this episode!  There is a way to navigate these stressors without letting it completely derail your health and fitness journey or your mental health.

This episode revolves around stress in its many forms and its impact on our overall well-being. I’ll be sharing not just my insights, but also my personal experiences with stress, its effects on physical health, weight loss, and a lot more. I also explain the process I am using to reshape my response to stress triggers, and the necessity of feeling emotions instead of piling them up as stress.  I think you will learn a lot and feel empowered after hearing this episode!

It sounds a bit cheesy to say "macros and workouts changed my life" but, honestly, they did. When I really took the time to look back on my journey from the restrictive and obsessive lifestyle I was living to what I went through to get to the freedom based fitness lifestyle I currently live ... I was shocked at how much different I am now. How different my life is now. 

I no longer view food as restrictive.
I no longer view workouts as punishment.
I am no longer obsessed with my food, workouts or what my body looks like. 
I no longer care what anyone is trying to sell me .... I don't need it.

This episode is personal and I think you will benefit from hearing the reality since it's rarely talked about in the fitness space.  I hope this episode inspires you to take charge of your own health and fitness.

Are you struggling to reset after indulging in the holiday yumminess? A lof of my clients are too! You are probably feeling disappointed that you ate more than you told yourself you would or you missed more workouts than you planned.  I know it’s easy to fall into the guilt trap, feeling the need to compensate for that extra slice of pie by doubling up on workouts or severely cutting calories.  I can tell you from experience that it not the best way to "get back on track".

Punishing yourself is never a good way to make lasting change. Remember, health isn't a one-size-fits-all approach - it's a journey of self-discovery and finding what works for you.

I talk freely in this episode about how to navigate the post holiday struggles and I give you permission to be, ya know, a human! This is part of the diet cycle you are stuck in and if you recognize it and make some changes you can stop the cycle for good this time!

I think you will really love this episode!

Are you tired of feeling stress and guilt about enjoying the holidays? Overthinking every party and every meal? Thinking you have messed up and lost all of the progress you made?   I've been there and am truly thankful for the time I have put into my mindset, macros and workouts so that I don't have to think this way anymore.

I didn't want this episode to be your basic advice that every personal trainer shares on social media. Instead, this episode will equip you with practical tips to maintain a balanced lifestyle, without the need for a restrictive diet or perfection this holiday season. By sharing my simple and real tips and a few personal experiences, I provide honest advice to help you enjoy the holidays without restriction.

I also address a few common questions and struggles that I hear often from clients and friends on social media which I know will help you!

Focus on making memories and enjoying the holidays rather than stressing about things that won't matter in a few weeks. If you have questions or would like to chat about this more, please message me any time!

I remember feeling like fitness was something I would never be able to fit into my life... not long term anyway.  I felt like I was constantly giving up things I loved or rearranging my entire life to meal plan, meal prep and workout. It seemed impossible to do it all.

I eventually realized that I needed to do it my way and make it fit into my life, not the other way around. One-size-fit's-all fitness plans were not working for me.  I needed something I could actually stick to, that I enjoyed and that would give me the results I wanted... a strong, sexy, fit body!

I coach a lot of women who come to me in this same situation, having tried program after program and feeling like a failure because they can't make it work! Trust me... it's not you, its them! Cutting out your favorite foods, trying to get to the gym after a 12 hour work day when you have a home and family to get to, feeling stuck and not making any progress.... I have been there.

In this episode I will walk you through a little bit of my journey where I realized how I could make it work and how you can too! A simple mindset shift that will help you realize that it's possible for you too! You CAN seamlessly integrate fitness into your daily routine without having to restructure your life around it. In fact that is exactly what fitness should be: a seamless part of your life!

Sometimes it's hard to know whether you should hit the gym or hit snooze when you are feeling under the weather. Sickness is something I used to struggle with in my fitness journey and since I have been sick for going on 7 days ... I decided to get real in this episode about how I have navigated these last few days to hopefully give you permission to navigate in a similar way when you are sick.

Being able to listen to and understand your body is vital when you are sick. Your body needs to trust you and pushing it too hard is never beneficial. I know the importance of listening to my body and understanding the value of rest days. "Control what you can" is a quote I live by always but especially in these times. 

In this episode, I share my personal experience on the blurred lines between self-care and commitment to fitness goals. Taking a day off does not need to viewed as a failure and it doesn't mean you have to "start over". The alol or nothing mindset doesnt do us any favors here.

 I also share my own tips and tricks on making the most of rest days. It's all about recognizing that fitness is a long-term marathon and not a short-term sprint. I hope you enjoy this episode as an open and honest discussion about the importance of resting during sickness and the  role of self-care in our fitness journey.

Have you ever felt stuck in your fitness journey? Wondering why you're not seeing results despite all your hard work? Feel like you should be seeing changes faster than you are? Well... in this episode I am going to change the way you think about plateaus! Instead of seeing them as a frustrating roadblock, I am here to help you embrace them as an essential part of your progress. Remember, consistency is key, and your body needs a break sometimes to focus on other jobs besides shedding fat and gaining muscle.

Patience will be your best friend in this journey of changing your body as you learn to eat more, lift heavier, and accept that hitting a plateau is part of this journey. Celebrate every little win, set realistic goals, and remember to ask yourself the right questions to stay on track.

Thinking about a plateau in a new way will be beneficial to you in so many ways. It helps me to be able to stick with my habits even when I feel like I am stuck. I know I will come out on the other side happier than if I would have given up and quit.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of jumping back into routine after a trip or vacation? You're not alone. In this episode I chat about my reality of juggling responsibilities while attending my best friend's out of town wedding and my own struggles of getting back on track with my routine.  I'll share the real struggles of managing a family, a job, and other commitments while attempting to stay on track. I get real about  the mental load that comes with traveling and the importance of honoring that and being kind to yourself throughout the process.

The reality is... it's impossible to jump right back into your fitness routine after traveling, When we try to get right back to the grind we end up  neglecting the mental load and exhaustion that comes with traveling. The longer we neglect that the more it piles up.

I don't think this is talked about enough and I think you will enjoy this real talk and a fresh perspective!
