On this episode of Transformation Talks, we're joined by Carmie Hawkins, a health and fitness coach who isn't just talking about this stuff.

She's living it in real life, in real seasons, just like the women she coaches. She specializes in helping busy moms simplify the fat loss process and finally make it sustainable.

She's NOT about extremes, quick fixes, or starting over every Monday. Instead, she teaches women how to master the basics: building strength, understanding nutrition, and creating habits that actually fit into their lives.

We discussed the importance of nutritional phases, training for muscle gain, building out a home gym, sticking to your plan when you don't feel like it, and more.

In today's impromptu episode of Transformation Talks, you'll learn what successful "maintenance" actually looks like, how I'm losing fat before summer, and how you can join me in my Fitter in 50 program.

(Note: I mispoke about the program investment. At the time of recording this, the options are $60 per week—not $70—or $350 up front.)

Email me ASAP if you're in (or have questions): [email protected]

Here's the full program details page: https://samforget.com/fitter

On this episode of Transformation Talks, we're joined by Dal Sekhon, a nutrition and weight loss coach who entered the fitness industry after personally losing 120 pounds, naturally. Now, she helps yo-yo dieters achieve permanent weight loss working within the parameters of their lives.

We chatted about how she lost the 120 pounds and now keeps it off, cultural and family considerations with food, what you need to know about 1,200 calorie diets, and more.

On this episode of Transformation Talks, we're joined by Herman Lynn, a fitness and nutrition coach who shares no-BS fitness advice that actually works, because of his focus on simple, sustainable changes over quick fixes.

We had a great chat about proper strength training, the four levels to nutrition—The Fad Dieter (1/4), The Learner (2/4), The Macro Master (3/3), and The Truly Free One (4/4)—navigating mindless eating, and more!

In today's episode of Transformation Talks, you’ll learn the four-step process my client Sarah used to lose almost 19 pounds of pure body fat.

Note: I misspoke when discussing Step #1, capping your rate of weight loss.

One percent of your bodyweight is "1%" OR "0.001"—not "0.001%," like I said on the episode. The same goes for half a percent.

The rest of the numerical examples for pace of progress still stand.

On this episode of Transformation Talks, we're joined by Micheala Stommes, an online fitness and nutrition coach and the founder of MBody Movement.

Micheala helps women build strength, confidence, and sustainable habits through evidence-based training and nutrition, avoiding extremes or quick fixes. Her work focuses on long-term results, empowering women to understand their bodies, fuel properly, and create a lifestyle they can maintain for life.

She recently became a mom to a one-year-old, an experience that has deepened her commitment to helping women navigate fitness through every season of life, including pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Micheala believes that strength isn’t just about how you look, but how you show up in your life. And she’s passionate about redefining what it means to be “fit”—shifting the focus from short-term aesthetics to strength, longevity, and living fully in every season.

On this episode of Transformation Talks, we're joined by Danni Bosworth, a women’s health and fitness coach with over 10 years' experience who specializes in helping you work WITH your body—not against it.

I actually had a hard time titling this episode because we covered so much: how to be more flexible with your process, improving your body image, non-fat loss goals, having a healthier relationship with data, the real value of coaching, and more.

I'm stoked for you to listen!

On today’s episode of Transformation Talks, we're joined by Aram Grigorian, a nutrition coach, co-host of The Other Side Lifestyle podcast, and host of the Real Coaches summit.

As you'll hear on the episode, Aram doesn't mince words, and isn't afraid to ruffle some feathers. You'll see this if you follow him on Instagram, too: https://www.instagram.com/4weeks2thebeach/

But I can tell you right now that it's because few coaches care about seeing their clients succeed more than Aram, and he knows that beating around the bush is only doing you a disservice.
