Every holiday season, women fall into the same pattern:

“I’ll get back on track in January.”
“I already messed up, so I’ll just start over later.”

If that’s you, this episode is your wake-up call.

Coach Jen and I break down the holiday all-or-nothing mindset — how it forms, how it shows up in your daily choices, and why it keeps you stuck in the same cycle year after year. This has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with outdated beliefs around discipline, food, and perfection.

Here’s what we cover:

• The signs you’re slipping into all-or-nothing thinking
• Why the “diet hard → binge later” cycle always backfires
• How perfectionism keeps you from starting
• How overcommitting destroys your consistency
• What adjusting expectations really looks like
• How to stop repeating the fall-off → restart → fall-off pattern

If you’re tired of starting every new year feeling behind, this episode will show you how to break the cycle before it starts.

If you’ve ever felt like life, motherhood, hormones, and everyone else’s needs come before your own — this episode is going to hit.

Today I’m talking with Beth Feracco — strength coach, mom, wife, former alcoholic — who hit rock bottom, walked herself into an AA meeting, and rebuilt her entire life in her 40s.

We get into:

• The exact “one decision” that made her get sober
• How fitness became the anchor that kept her from going backward
• Why women resist the boring basics and chase gut protocols and cortisol hacks
• Menopause, hot flashes, HRT, and being proactive instead of suffering through it
• How to stop cooking 4 different meals for the family and actually eat for your goals
• Mom guilt, mental load, and setting boundaries without being a martyr
• Why social media “inflammation” talk is just diet culture in a new outfit

It’s funny, it’s blunt, and it’s the kind of conversation women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s need to hear especially if you’ve ever said “I know what to do, I just don’t do it.”

If you’ve ever been told a pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day, that carbs make you fat, or that you must do fasted cardio to see results — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with exercise scientist James Krieger to unpack what’s real, what’s outdated, and what actually matters for lasting results.

We cover:

• The real number of calories muscle burns (it’s not 50 per pound)
• Why “slow metabolism” is mostly a movement problem, not a genetic curse
• How much muscle you can realistically build per month
• Why low-carb and fasting aren’t magic — they just help people eat less
• What insulin really does (and why healthy people don’t need glucose monitors)
• Why the “anabolic window” is mostly myth
• The real reason fasted cardio doesn’t outperform fed cardio
• How overcomplicating your health with gadgets and “cycle syncing” just adds noise

James and I also talk about how perfectionism and micromanaging every detail can actually make you miss what matters most — consistency, adherence, and real-life flexibility.

🎧 Hit play — and get ready to rethink everything you’ve been told about metabolism and fat loss.

Let’s be honest — we’ve all said it: “I’m just too busy.”
But is it really that we’re too busy… or that we’ve stopped setting boundaries?

In this episode, Coach Jen and I unpack what being busy actually means and how it’s quietly draining your energy, your confidence, and your connection with yourself. We talk about how to stop using busyness as a badge of honor, how to create systems that work for your real life, and why self-respect starts with the way you treat yourself.

We also dive into:

• The myth of “I don’t have time” and what’s really hiding behind it
• How your habits and boundaries shape your kids’ behavior and self-worth
• The difference between being productive and being present
• Three practical strategies to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling in control

If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t have time for me,” this episode is your wake-up call to take your power back.

🎧 Hit play and let’s drop the “busy” badge together.

If you’ve ever felt like the fitness industry is talking out of both sides of its mouth, you’re not wrong. From “never train fasted” to “lift light for lean muscle” to “ditch the scale,” women are constantly bombarded with mixed messages that make staying consistent nearly impossible.

In this week’s episode, I break down why so much of what you’ve been told is flat-out wrong and what actually matters if you want results that last. I talk about how information overload leads to paralysis, why real progress comes from simplicity, and how to know which rules are worth following and which ones are total nonsense.

You’ll walk away knowing how to tune out the noise, train with confidence, and stop second-guessing every move you make.

Listen now to finally understand what works and leave the rest behind.

Ever said, “I know what to do—I just need to be consistent”? This episode breaks down why that thought keeps you spinning your wheels. I explain how knowing isn’t enough, why your old strategies don’t fit your current life, and what you actually need instead.

We’ll cover:

• Why “consistency problems” are really strategy problems
• How different life seasons demand different plans
• The 4 essentials: clarity, specificity, strategy, execution systems
• How information overload creates paralysis by analysis

If you’ve been frustrated thinking you already “know what to do,” this episode will give you the truth and the tools to finally move forward.

If anyone had a reason to put fat loss on hold, it’s Ashley—six kids, constant travel, a business, and zero “perfect timing.” Instead, she’s down 15 pounds in just 9 weeks.

In this episode, we break down how she did it: simple nutrition swaps, 20-minute strength sessions, and accountability that works at Disney, parties, and road trips.

We dive into:

• Why a parasite cleanse and “trying everything” left her stuck
• The mindset shift from “Do I have permission?” to “These are my goals”
• How to make travel and family life part of the plan (not an excuse)
• Why waiting for the “perfect time” keeps you spinning your wheels
• The power of support when fear creeps in (“What if it stops working?”)

This is proof you don’t need detoxes, extremes, or all-day gym sessions to see real results. You just need a plan that works with your life.

“Calories don’t matter for fat loss—just focus on hormones and gut health.”
You’ve heard that line before… but is it true?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real science behind fat loss and calling out the BS that’s confusing so many women. I talk about why calories do matter, how hormones and gut health actually influence fat loss, and the dangerous rise of overcomplicated protocols (and overpriced supplements) disguised as “root cause solutions.”

I also cover:

• The sports team analogy that’ll finally make this all make sense
• How stress often looks like gut issues
• What to ask before buying into anyone’s “protocol”
• Why jargon ≠ expertise and what actually does
• How to spot a charlatan trying to sell you nonsense

If you’ve ever been told it’s “not about calories,” this one’s for you.
Let’s bring back nuance  and stop pretending simple science is outdated.
