Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio 💋 This episode is Part 2 of the Main Character Energy series, and honestly… it gets juicier!

In this conversation, I’m breaking down what really happens when you abandon yourself and why piling on new habits, new plans, and new goals never works if your identity hasn’t shifted first. We’re talking about main character energy as a mindset, not an...

Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
If your January plan sounds like punishment, restriction, or “I just need to get back on track,” this episode is for you. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we’re talking about an identity hangover - the space where your old diet culture identity doesn’t fit anymore, but your brain keeps trying to live there anyway! This conversation is for the woman who misses feeling confident in her body but refuses to go back to obsession to get it. We’re unpacking why living like your life is one long diet cut stops working, why rest can feel like failure, and why chasing another plan,...

Holiday Boundaries: Stop Performing This Christmas

Stop Trying to Control Everything (and Start Living)
Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
If you’re listening to this during the Christmas holiday week and feeling a little on edge, this episode is for you! In today’s episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I’m sharing a real coaching call conversation about control - the sneaky kind that looks like being responsible on the outside but feels like anxiety on the inside. Yep, that kind. We talk about why so many women struggle to let go, how trying to control people and situations steals our peace, damages relationships, and keeps us from being present in our own lives. I share personal stories (including my days as a reformed control...

Main Character Energy: How to Stop Playing Small and Finally Change
Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
If you’ve ever felt like you “fall off” your health, fitness, or self-care goals… this episode is for you. Today’s conversation is pulled straight from a Healthy & Hot membership call, where we go way deeper than workouts or meal plans. We’re talking about the real reason consistency feels so hard and why it’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or lacking discipline. This episode is all about main character energy, identity shifts, and what actually needs to happen before you set goals for 2026. Because if you don’t change the woman making the decisions, you’ll just...

Bored of Macros? Let's talk Main Character Energy (Part 1)
Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
Unpopular truth: the reason most women struggle with health, fitness, confidence, and follow-through isn’t because they don’t know what to eat or how to work out - it’s because they’re still making decisions from an old identity. In the first episode of my Main Character Energy series, I’m breaking down why identity shifting is the real missing piece behind lasting change (and why motivation alone never works). I’m sharing my personal evolution, why autopilot habits keep you stuck, and yes… why we’re starting this series with makeup (stick with me). We’ll talk surprising...

Period Underwear That Actually Works for Gym Girls, Moms, and Women Over 40
Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
If you’ve ever been curious about period underwear but also kinda scared to try it… this is your episode. Today I’m chatting with Arielle Loupos, founder of FlowerGirl, and her story, her mission, and her product completely blew me away. Arielle creates non-toxic, beautifully designed period underwear including the viral period thong and let me tell you… I was skeptical. Then I tried it, fell in love, messaged her immediately, and said: “You need to come on the podcast.” In this episode, we get super real. We talk about why traditional period care (tampons, pads, cups,...

Pelvic Health Over 40: What Women NEED to Know with Dr. Sarah Tally
Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
If you’ve ever wondered whether your pelvic floor issues are “normal”… this episode is for you. Today I’m sitting down with pelvic health expert Dr. Sarah Tally to talk about the things women whisper about, ignore, or think they just have to “deal with” as they get older - leaking, urgency, pain with sex, constipation, postpartum changes, perimenopause shifts, AND the stuff nobody warned us about. Sarah shares how she found her way into pelvic floor physical therapy, why women over 40 dismiss symptoms that actually aren’t normal, and the surprising signs your pelvic floor needs...

7 Weight-Loss Exercises That Have Nothing To Do With the Gym
Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
In today’s episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I’m sharing seven exercises that have absolutely nothing to do with the gym, your macros, or the perfect meal plan but have everything to do with why you aren’t losing weight. After almost twenty years coaching women, I’ve seen over and over that the real struggle isn’t usually about calories or workouts. It’s the emotional load, the stress, the old stories we’re still believing, and the way we keep putting everyone else first. This episode kicks off a deeper four-phase process I’m calling an iconic reclamation: regulate, reconnect,...

In today’s episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I’m sharing a real coaching call conversation about control - the sneaky kind that looks like being responsible on the outside but feels like anxiety on the inside. Yep, that kind.
We talk about why so many women struggle to let go, how trying to control people and situations steals our peace, damages relationships, and keeps us from being present in our own lives. I share personal stories (including my days as a reformed control freak), signs you might be holding onto control without realizing it, and simple mindset shifts to help you release what’s not yours to carry!
This is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to manage everything, fix everyone, or hold it all together to be worthy or safe.
