HALFWAY THROUGH PODMAS!!! I can't believe we are on our 6th consecutive episode of the WTF Podcast "12 Days of Podmas"! 

Today's episode is another archived video from the spring of 2020.

Are you bringing your goals to life - or are you so scared of them that you let them die as dreams in your head?

Any and all progress in life begins with a strong goal and a desire to succeed.

Holy moly we are on Day 5 - almost halfway through Podmas already! 

Make sure to listen and PAY ATTENTION to the whole episode - as an extra bonus of "Podmas" ;) ;) I threw in a goodie for those of you who are listening - so pay attention and think fast because the offer goes away tonight! 

Today's episode is addressing some commentary I have been receiving since documenting my journey through becoming a Nationally ranked powerlifter. As I posted about competing in Central's, Provincial's, and now my Journey to National's in March, I often get the remark, "Wow good for you! That must bring in a lot of business. It really validates your expertise."  Though yes, I agree that people may see me as more authentic and committed to the craft because I am enduring rigorous training - my coaching abilities are no more or less whether I am an athlete or not.  I am a good coach because I understand the math, the finesse, and am always wanting to learn more- and that knowledge + passion does not change whether I decide to stop competing tomorrow. 

I want to ask you - are you only taking advice from people just because they are seeing results for themselves, or are you taking advice because it will make YOU a better person?

Can you believe we are at Day 4 of Podmas already?! 

If you are behind - be sure to check out all of the other episodes because they are all straight fire.

Also, in case you for some reason aren't in my Facebook group, I have already given out a tub of protein AND lululemon just for participating so uhm, go join! 

I did this episode a little differently - today's episode is extracted audio from a long-lost live that I did AGES ago.

This is a quick episode to really make you question your motives and show you that you really have NO excuse for the excuses you have been making.

Motivation isn't really a thing - and any successful person whether it be business or personal - does not only do things that "motivate" them.

Podmas Day 3!!

Don't forget about the giveaways for 12 Days of Christmas in my group www.facebook.com/sexystrongsuper/

Today is one everyone knew was coming - my honest and unfiltered opinion on keto.

I hate restrictive dieting.

I love carbs.

I hate uneducated people giving others advice that could damage their health.

Stop - just stop. 

Anywho, I am sitting here drinking a beer and eating a donut - which pretty much sums up my stance.

Happy holidays!!

12 Days of Podmas Day 2! 

Today's episode is going to hit some hard and you might not want to hear this - but you probably should. 

Monkey-see Monkey-do is all too real when it comes to our children. They are little sponges who pick up all of our behaviors good or bad. 

So what do you think is happening to their vulnerable brains and esteems when they see us, their role models, struggling with body-appearance and our relationship with food. 

If we are constantly going from diet to diet, talking down about our body, saying that certain foods are "bad" or "will make you fat" and that "being fat is bad, then our children are going to adopt that same mentality. 

They aren't going to want to do childish things like enjoying a trip to the ice cream shop. They are going to think other parents are "bad" for giving their children treats that you forbid at home. You are going to create a child with disorderly eating habits at an age WAY younger than you may expect. 

I know you are just trying to do what's right and encourage "healthy habits" but mental health is just as important as physical health. Poor mental health around foods WILL create eating disorders in the future which I'm sure you are trying to avoid.

MERRY PODMAS!!!! 

Today marks the first day of, "12 Days of Podmas" which means there will be a new WTF episode every day from now until December 24th!

I will ALSO be hosting a 12 Days of Giveaways in my Facebook group so if you AREN'T a member of the Sexy, Strong, and Super Community - go join now! 

Today isn't just special because of that, but it also marks a day very close to my heart.  On this day 7 years ago, I said yes to being the girlfriend of a very cute (and clumsy ;) ) boy I met in the gym.

Now, 7 years and a 3-year old daughter later our lives couldn't be more magical or more different. 

On today's episode I tell the story of how Jordan and I came to meet, how he PROPOSED in the very gym we met in, and the ups and downs if training with your spouse! 

I'm not going to lie, I cried while I was recording this because this feels like too crazy of a story for real life - but that has just been my life lately. 

So if you are a sucker for love stories, but also want to hear about me giving Jordan sh*t for correcting me in the gym - then stay tuned for today's episode!

We have another incredible interview today! I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend + colleague Mary Codina to discuss all things yin + yang of muscle care.

Mary is an RMT in sunny California, as well as an online self-care coach. Together we discussed how working out and muscle care techniques such as foam rolling, stretching, massaging, etc complement each other to relieve our aches + pains.

As Mary discovered, some pains won't just go away with massages or post-care techniques, sometimes our aches are caused by muscular imbalances that can only be fixed by STRENGTHENING the weakest link aka working the muscle out!

We also discuss how Mary analyzed my pain and stances while lifting, and after only a few recommended tweaks + stretches, I improved my squat speed and stopped getting injured!

If you like nerding out about muscles and how they interact, this is the episode for you!

Starting December 12-24 I will be hosting "12 Days of Podmas" where a new episode drops EVERY SINGLE DAY and along with it, a 12 Days of Giveaways so BE SURE TO TUNE IN!! 

In today's episode, I want to talk about my journey with health, fitness, coaching, and just WHO I am. 

Some people know we as I am today, an online fitness coach.

Some may know me as an aircraft mechanic. 

Some may not know who I am at all.

So today I introduce myself to you, as a whole - as Daria - the do-it-all overachiever. 

I also go into why I joined the world of online coaching and why I think it is not only a viable option but in the future, why it will be the TOP option for fitness coaching.

In today's episode, I have brought on nurse and Fertility + Woman's Hormone Coach Jenn Frusher-Carver to talk about female health and hormones! 

We break down how nutrition and fitness can regulate (or disrupt!) our precious hormone balances.

What actually is PCOS - and can a diet really "fix" it like some claim?

Is it possible for people with PCOS to lose weight? 

And we have a stretch where we talk about how women get treated by health care professionals, coming FROM a health care professional. 

So if you are a woman who has questions about her hormone health, wanting to know if you are eating + training correctly for your beautiful body, or just want to know that you are not alone in your journey - this is the episode for you!

On this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the one and only, Amanda King - the ultimate Fierce As F*ck woman.

Amanda started out as a chef + dog groomer, into a Beachbody Coach, into a high-level business coach all without compromising her integrity or badass energy. She learned how to tap into that incredible fierceness to succeed beyond what anyone thought possible.

Together we dig into the mindset behind fierceness, tackling matters head-on, and taking on space as a woman in a world where we often feel oppressed. 

Have you ever been told you don't belong somewhere? Or that you will never succeed in your goal? It doesn't matter if it is in business, fitness, relationships, if YOU have the intention of succeeding - success will come to you. 

The secret? Not running FROM fear, rather righting right into the sh*tstorm that is fear.

It is time to shine and show up as your genuine self!

Go find me on social to learn how to step into that genuine + fierce power!
