When I decided to become a certified personal trainer back in 2019, it was because I saw a big part of the population not being served by the fitness industry. Once I started my online business in 2020, I knew that I wanted to do it my way and not fall in line like all of the other online trainers. But with that being said, I know that there are some gaps in my knowledge and even coaches need coaches. So when I decided to sign up for a consultation call with a company that I thought aligned with my values and vision, I was more than happy to commit to the 90 minutes. However, it was AFTER those 90 minutes in a follow up call that things took a turn, and I was reminded of exactly why I created my business.

So yes, despite them telling me that they guaranteed that I would make $15k more than what I already make, I said no. Listen in and find out why...

We've talked about fitness, nutrition, lifestyles, body image and more on this podcast. It's a lot of info to take in and start implementing. So today, I go over exactly what you need to get started on your fitness journey. It's quite simple and I bet you already have what you need lying around. Listen in as I talk about three things you need to get going!

Last weekend's hilly AF 5k had me really thankful that I knew my body's limits. Not only to avoid becoming injured, but to avoid leaving the race feeling defeated and frustrated. Protecting my peace when it comes to fitness has become extremely important to me. But it has taken some trial and error.

It wasn't until I became a fitness professional that I realized you can't just "train more." There are steps that need to be taken to prepare your body for more movement if you plan on staying pain and injury free. I go over these things in this episode... and yes, they are things that I am currently doing. My body is no exception. I have to take the long road approach, too!

I sat down for another chat with my good friend Lindsey Heiserman of Lindsey Heiserman coaching to discuss realistic training concepts for realistic bodies. And guess what? That includes chatting about how we are training our own bodies and the struggles we face(d) in the process.

This episode is about how I approached learning to love my reflection in the mirror. And why I chose now to make some changes.

As someone who struggled with undiagnosed anxiety and depression for over a decade, I am quite passionate about this topic. I went from formerly using fitness as my sole outlet for coping with my mental health to now having multiple resources to help me manage when things get tough. In today's episode, I walk you through why I think it is crucial that fitness isn't your only coping mechanism and how it can actually help improve your fitness when you seek other forms of help.

If you or someone you know is struggle with mental health, please seek help from a medical professional ASAP.

Back in April I released a podcast episode talking about Zone 2 Cardio (linked below) and its benefits. I started implementing Zone 2 into my weekly routine and I must say, the results have been quite impressive. Listen in as I go over what I've noticed with my strength training, running, spinning and recovery.
