✨ And if you want to turn reflection into action, we created the New Year, Best You Playbook—a simple, grounding guide to help you reset your habits, clarify your priorities, and build momentum without burning out.

Ep. 37: Data, not Drama — Toss the scale and do THIS instead

You’re hitting your workouts, eating better… but the scale isn’t moving. Does that mean you’re not making progress?

This week, we’re breaking down the most misunderstood part of fitness: how to measure progress without losing your mind.
The scale? She's loud, dramatic, and honestly… not the main character.

Inside the episode, we cover:

  • Why the scale gets way too much attention (and how a moving goal posts messes with your mindset)

  • Why the scale is so volatile — water, glycogen, hormones, food volume

  • Why women can fluctuate several pounds overnight

  • DEXA vs. InBody: what’s worth it, what’s not, and how to use this data

  • Progress photos done right (and why they feel cringe at first but become your receipts)

  • Measurements that actually matter

  • Nutrition tracking methods that give clarity without obsession

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right… so why don’t I see it yet?”
This episode is the permission slip + strategy combo you need.

Stop the drama. Start using data.

Ep. 36: The Hidden Disorder in Discipline (with Dr. Maddy Palermo)

What happens when healthy turns harmful?

This week, we’re joined by Dr. Maddy Palermo, PhD — a clinical psychologist and disordered eating specialist, to unpack the hidden disorder behind “discipline.” From orthorexia and overtraining, to clean eating culture and burnout disguised as motivation, we explore how wellness ideals can spiral into obsession.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, tracked every bite for #health, or wondered if your routine has gone too far — this episode will make you rethink what balance really means.

Tune in to learn how to spot early signs of disordered discipline, heal your relationship with control, and redefine what healthy looks like in real life.

Ep. 35: Got Munchies? What Cravings Mean for Your Goals

Got the munchies? 🍪 We've been there too.

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of munchies, cravings, and the societal perceptions of food.

We're breaking down the biological basis of hunger cues, particularly in relation to THC, and provide practical strategies for managing munchies without derailing your fitness goals.

Beyond the science, we talk about relationships with food, how your environment influences your choices, and what it looks like to find balance between enjoyment and discipline in your nutrition.

We’re not here to tell you to “just have willpower.” We’re here to help you understand your body so you can make intentional choices, enjoy your highs, and stay aligned with your goals.

So grab your favorite snack, hit play, and let’s talk munchies without the guilt.

Ep. 33: Slow Reps, Fast Gains: The Secret to Muscle Growth You’re Skipping

You've heard: "just lift heavy," but what if that still isn't working?

Or maybe you've heard "tempo" floating around the fitness-ether but aren't quite sure what they're talking about...

Most people rush their reps and then wonder why they're not getting stronger or seeing muscle definition.

Enter: tempo training

This simple tweak might completely change how your lifts feel and how your body responds.

In this episode, we break down:

  • What tempo actually means (and how to read those 4-digit codes like "4112")

  • Why slowing down your reps increases muscle tension, control, and confidence under the bar

  • How tempo exposes weaknesses and forces you to truly own your lift instead of just moving weight from point A to B

  • When to use it, how often, and what most lifters get wrong

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just “going through the motions” or you're just trying to get it done, this one’s about to change how you move.

Ep. 32: Why Your Diet Stops Working

You’ve been eating less, working out harder, and somehow your body has stopped responding. The scale just won't budge.
Your energy’s down, your hormones feel off, your period’s irregular — and you’re wondering what gives.

In this episode, we unpack why your diet stops working.

We help you understand metabolic adaptation and low energy availability, so you know what’s actually happening when your body starts conserving energy instead of burning it. PLUS how this can impact your metabolism, hormones, and even your menstrual cycle.

If you’ve ever felt like your body’s fighting you, this one’s for you.

Ep. 31: The Real Reason You Feel So Tired (Hint: It’s Not Laziness)

Maybe you've thought something is wrong with you. Or that you need a supplement to help you feel more energy in your day. Or maybe even that you need to get your hormones checked.

But what if the real reason you feel drained, foggy, and unmotivated is way simpler? AND within your control 👀

In this episode, we’re breaking down why your lack of energy isn’t laziness—and what you can do about it. We’re talking about how eating less can actually lead to moving less, the science behind metabolic adaptation, and what you can start doing today to feel like yourself again.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of “I just need more willpower,” this one’s for you.

And stick around for next week, we’re diving even deeper into low energy availability and metabolic adaptation, so you’ll understand exactly what happens to your body when you’re stuck in that loop.

Ep. 26: “How Heavy Should I Be Lifting?” (And How to Know You’re Doing It Right)

A common question we get from our clients, friends, and listeners: "How heavy should I be lifting?!"

Here's the thing:

Most women in the gym aren’t lifting heavy enough to see real change… or they’re going so heavy their form falls apart.

So how do you know if your weight is right for you?

In this episode, we break down the tools every lifter needs—RPE (rate of perceived exertion), RIR (reps in reserve), and progressive overload—to help you train smarter, build muscle, and actually see results.

We’ll cover:✅ What “lifting heavy enough” really looks and feels like✅ How to avoid ego lifting and form breakdown✅ The art of auto-regulation (adjusting on the fly)✅ Why tracking effort—not just weight—is the golden rule

No fluff, no gimmicks—just evidence-based tools that will help you get stronger and stay injury-free.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I lifting heavy enough?”—this episode is for you.
