hey hotties!! this week we’re getting real about what it actually looks like to become a fitness instructor. we talk how we got started, studio training vs. universal certifications, and the pros and cons of each path. we break down pay structures, training timelines, class planning, and the parts of teaching no one talks about ,especially how different it feels to teach versus take class. whether you’re just curious or seriously considering it, this episode is your no-gatekeeping, reality-check starting point <3

let's set the scene: we've graduated high school, started college, have block eyebrows and a strong will. that's right, its 2016 again. we're reflecting on what we were wearing, listening to, and doing in 2016, from hip hop dance to a bold lip to the 1975 on repeat for the last decade. it was a year so good we don't know how 2026 could top it.

this week we’re doing a very real goals check-in, looking back at what we set out to do in 2025, what actually happened, and what quietly shifted along the way. we talk career growth, money habits, routines, movement, relationships, and the reality of trying to “do it all” in a busy season of life. some goals stuck, some didn’t, and some taught us more than we expected. consider this your reminder that growth isn’t linear, january optimism is powerful, and progress still counts, even when it looks different than planned!!!

hotties, today we’re questioning every financial belief we never actually chose. we get into the difference between money goals we genuinely want vs. the ones we were taught, how to spend in ways that support our actual lifestyle, and why “someday” isn’t a personality. think of this as the soft, grounded, financially-aligned reset.
