“Beyond the Body” is a podcast for women who aren’t afraid to dive deep into who they are, embrace discomfort, and level up their mind, body, and life.
Join host Christina Slater as she explores the psychology behind your habits and the shadows that shape patterns like binge eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and self-sabotage in your fitness journey.
Expect raw conversations about body image, mindset, relationships, self-trust, and the deeper inner work most coaches won’t touch — the work that transforms your mind, your body, and your life from the inside out.
If you want to get fit, get inspired, think deeper, and explore the parts of fitness no plan ever talks about, you’re in the right place.

If you feel like your fitness goals still depend on “feeling motivated,” this episode will save your sanity.
Bella flips the mic and puts me (Christina) in the hot seat. We dig into “motivation” (and why I rarely rely on it anymore), how to align your fitness journey with your actual life seasons, how I choose clients, and why I coach the way I do. Plus a fun detour on our childhood dream jobs and how they weirdly connect to the careers we have now.
Topics Discussed:
• Motivation vs. focus: Using strategy instead of hype
• My ideal type of client to coach (and why “just tell me what to do” is a red flag)
• Adaptability: when to push, when to pull back, and how to approach obstacles
• Friction reduction at home: simple systems so workouts and meals run on autopilot
• My coaching lens: education, ownership, and long-term results
• What “adapt to overcome” looks like in practice.
• Mindset for tough weeks: how to stay in motion without spiraling
Most people aren’t inconsistent because they are lazy, they’re relying on motivation for a plan that actually needs structure and systems. If you build around focus, seasons, and environment, you’ll get what you actually want: steady progress, less mental load, and confidence you can handle a chaotic week without losing momentum.
