Embrace Your Real

Hey hey beautiful human! Have you felt it lately? You open your phone, you scroll for a few seconds, and suddenly you are looking at transformation photos, smaller bodies being praised, and a version of “progress” that feels very different from what you have been working toward. And even if a part of you knows better, there is another part that quietly wonders if you are doing something wrong. That feeling is not random. It is what happens when the message is everywhere and it keeps finding you, even when you are not looking for it. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I’m talking about...

And honestly, it makes sense why summer feels like the wrong time to start something new, because there are BBQs, restaurant dinners, travel plans, kids at home, and days that do not follow the usual routine. But that is exactly why summer can be the best time to start counting macros. If you can learn how to fuel your body in the middle of real life, with social meals, looser routines, and more...

You are showing up for your workouts, trying to eat well, doing your best to stay consistent, and yet your cravings feel stronger, your sleep feels off, your energy feels all over the place, and your progress feels slower than it should. If that is where you are, I do not want you to jump straight to blaming your discipline, because there may be something much deeper going on.

Embrace Your Real

Hey hey beautiful human! Most women with only 30 minutes to spare talk themselves out of working out before they even start. Is this even worth it? Should I just wait until I have more time? And when they do show up, they either rush through something random or spend half of it feeling guilty that it is not longer. But a 30-minute workout is not a watered-down version of a real workout. It is a different kind of session with its own rules. And when you follow those rules, it is just as effective as anything longer. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I walk you through exactly how to...

Hey, hey beautiful human! Today, I want to to talk about something that is very important to me. Why are so many of us walking around being their own harshest critic? We say things to ourselves internally that we would never, ever say to someone we love. And we do it without even thinking. It's automatic. It's the background noise of our lives.

Today I want to give you four practical, tangible ways to shift that. To start talking to yourself the way you talk to someone you actually love. 

What I discuss:

  • How to notice the voice before you believe it

  • How to replace judgment with curiosity

  • Tips to be kind during hard moments

  • Be her cheerleader, not her critic.
