On today’s episode, I’m sitting down solo to share the simple, effective strategies I use—and coach my clients through—to stay on track when life is anything but calm. If you’re in a season where every day is a blur of meetings, school drop-offs, and crashing on the couch at night, I see you. You want to feel stronger, more in control of your choices, and like you actually have the energy to show up for yourself despite having to be very intentional with your time. That’s exactly why I’m breaking down how to stay consistent with food and fitness without complicated meal plans,...

In today’s solo episode, I’m answering a powerful question from listener Stephanie about a challenge many women face on their fitness journey: what to do when medication suppresses your appetite and you’re not eating enough — especially when you’re trying to maintain or build muscle. Whether you're taking ADHD medication, weight loss meds, or anything else that impacts your hunger cues… Navigating nutrition can get tricky. And while eating less might seem like a fast track to fat loss, undereating can actually slow your metabolism and lead to unwanted muscle loss. In this episode,...

That frustration and self-doubt is real, and it can be the very thing that leads you to give up too soon. But here’s the truth: the difference between women who hit their weight loss goals and those who stay stuck isn’t just about the plan they follow — it’s about...
