Monday to Friday… you’re locked in.
You track. You plan. You show up.

Then the weekend hits… and suddenly it’s:
“I deserve this.”
“It’s just two days.”
“I’ll get back on track Monday.”

And every week, momentum quietly disappears.

In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason weekends derail so many moms — and why it’s not about discipline, willpower, or “being bad.”

We cover:
• Why weekends hit moms differently than weekdays
• How emotional eating and decision fatigue take over when routine disappears
• The difference between self-care and self-sabotage
• Why two days a week can keep you stuck all year
• And how to approach weekends with intention instead of extremes

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about leadership over your choices when life is loud, kids are home, and you’re exhausted.

If you’re tired of the Monday reset…
If you’re done letting weekends undo your progress…
This episode will change how you show up for the two days that matter more than you think.

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’m just having a hard time getting back into it after the holidays…” — this episode is for you.

No fluff. No coddling. No “start Monday” energy.

In this episode, I’m giving my moms the real talk:
You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do.
You’re stuck because you’ve been avoiding the one thing that actually works — honesty.

We’re talking about:
• Why you don’t want to track (and what that really means)
• How “I’ll just eat better” keeps you in the same loop every year
• The difference between self-care and self-deception
• What getting back on track actually looks like — without extremes, guilt, or perfection
• And the one simple action that rebuilds momentum fast

This is tough love from a coach who wants you out of the restart cycle for good.

If you’re tired of starting over…
If you’re done negotiating with yourself…
If you’re ready to stop lying and start leading your body again…

Press play.

New Year Challenge Kickoff – Read This Before You Start

This isn’t a “new year, new me” situation.
This is about building momentum that actually survives mom life.

In this kickoff call, we’re talking about:
• How to start the year without burning out by week two
• Why motivation isn’t the goal (and what actually is)
• How to show up consistently even when life is chaotic
• What progress really looks like during this challenge
• The mindset shift that makes this time different

If you’ve ever:
• Started strong and faded fast
• Felt behind before you even began
• Tried to be perfect and quit when you couldn’t
• Wondered why consistency feels so hard as a mom

This call is for you.

Your only job after watching?
Show up imperfectly and stay.

Let’s build something sustainable — together 💪✨

If consistency feels impossible no matter how much you “know what to do,” this episode is for you.

Most advice around habits and discipline isn’t built for moms who are carrying the mental load of the house, managing everyone else’s needs, and trying to take care of themselves last. In this episode, we’re talking about why consistency breaks down when you’re overloaded — and why it’s not a willpower problem.

I’m breaking down the invisible weight moms carry, why routines fall apart under pressure, and how to build habits that actually work in real life — not just on calm, perfect weeks.

This is about redefining consistency, lowering the cost of showing up, and creating momentum without burnout or all-or-nothing thinking.

If you’re tired of restarting and blaming yourself, this episode will change how you see consistency forever.

If you’ve been eating sugar for the last 5–7 days and now getting back on track feels impossible… no shit. That’s not a motivation problem — it’s biology.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why restarting feels so hard after a stretch of sugar, stress, and chaos, and why waiting for motivation is the fastest way to stay stuck. We’re talking momentum over motivation, what the most successful women actually do when they feel off, and how to stop repeating the same holiday-to-January cycle every single year.

This isn’t about restriction, punishment, or “starting over.” It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body, taking small actions that rebuild momentum fast, and setting yourself up so next time doesn’t feel this hard.

If you’re in the “I know what to do but I can’t make myself do it” phase — this episode is your reset.

Growing up as an addict’s daughter changes how you move through the world — especially once you have a kid of your own. Holidays hit harder. Family dynamics feel heavier. And Christmas? It brings up stuff you don’t have words for… just a knot in your chest and a lot of quiet resentment.

In this episode, I’m talking about the kind of boundaries no one teaches you — the ones that start in your body, not in a conversation. Why resentment isn’t always about family crossing lines, but about ignoring your own signals. And how grieving the Christmas you wish you had is sometimes the most freeing thing you can do.

This is about stopping the cycle. Listening to your body. Letting go of guilt. And choosing peace over forcing traditions that were never meant to fit you.

If you’re an addict’s daughter navigating motherhood, holidays, emotional eating, or burnout — this one will feel like someone finally said the quiet part out loud.

You’re working out.
You’re doing ab exercises.
But your core still doesn’t feel strong — it feels off.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why core work isn’t the same as core strength, and why so many moms feel unstable, disconnected, or unsure lifting postpartum — even a year or more after having a baby.

We’ll talk about:

• Why crunches and planks aren’t fixing the problem

• What a “strong core” actually feels like in real life

• Why lifting can feel sketchy even when you’re fit

• The simple shift that made my body feel solid again

No anatomy lesson.
No scare tactics.
Just a real explanation for moms who already work out but want to feel strong, supported, and confident again.

This is part of the Becoming a Unit series — FitStrategy in real life.

Today we’re talking about something most women never slow down long enough to figure out: who you actually are when you’re not trying to please everyone, fix everything, or chase every shiny “quick fix” on the internet.

Because here’s the truth — when you don’t know who you are, you get distracted.
You get pulled into temptations.
You say yes to things you don’t even want.
You fall off your goals because you’re operating off autopilot, not identity.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to actually build the version of you who isn’t thrown off by every craving, bad day, holiday, or “screw it” moment. The version of you who knows what she wants, acts like it, and follows through — even when life gets chaotic.

If you’re tired of constantly restarting, feeling easily pulled off track, or wondering why discipline feels impossible… this one is your wake-up call.

Every holiday season, about 70% of women end up 10–15 pounds heavier by January… and we’re not doing that this year. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down EXACTLY why this happens, why it’s not your fault, and how to avoid the “holiday free-fall” without tracking every bite, skipping the fun, or pretending you’re going to suddenly become a different person on January 1st.

We’re talking real-life stuff: the mental spiral, the “I’ll start Monday,” the parties, the stress, the mom guilt, and all the little decisions that add up. And I’m giving you the exact shifts, habits, and boundaries that actually work for busy moms who want to feel good in their jeans and enjoy the season.

Simple. Realistic. Zero perfection. Zero holiday BS.

If you want to walk into January feeling proud instead of panicked, this one’s for you.
