Most women are either over-supplementing, under-supplementing, or throwing money at things they don’t actually need - because no one ever taught them how to read a label or what actually matters.
In this short episode, I break down the only supplements 99% of people actually need, what I’ve seen work over 10+ years coaching high-achieving women, and how to spot quality supplements vs. filler and bullshit.
We also cover optional supplements for stress, sleep, hormones, and liver support, and when they actually make sense to use.
If you want to stop letting Instagram ads run your health decisions and start supplementing intentionally instead of emotionally, this is a must-listen.

If your inner critic runs on a loop all day…
“Why can’t I just have self-control?”
“I know better, so why do I keep doing this?”
“If I’m nicer to myself, I’ll just lose my discipline…”
This episode is for you.
In today’s podcast, we’re breaking down self-compassion and all the misconceptions behind being NICE to yourself in your fitness journey. Especially for high-achieving women who hold themselves to impossible standards and use self-criticism as “motivation.”
✨ And if this hits home, share it with the high-achieving woman in your life who’s tired of fighting herself.
In this educational episode, Coach Rachel and I are breaking down the menstrual cycle in a way every woman should have been taught (but probably wasn’t)...
We walk through each phase of a natural menstrual cycle and explain what’s happening hormonally, how it can impact your energy, mood, training performance, hunger, and motivation, and - most importantly - what to actually do about it.
This episode is about understanding your body so you can plan better, train smarter, and stop feeling blindsided by your cycle every month.
Whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or just trying to feel more in control of your health, this episode will give you practical clarity and reassurance around how your cycle actually works.
🎧 Tune in, track your cycle, and start working with your physiology - not against it.
You train, you track, you try to stay on top of your habits…
Yet somehow you’ve felt out of alignment, inconsistent, or like you’re just pushing through instead of actually feeling like you.
Sometimes the real growth isn’t just in the habits… it’s in the identity shifts, the nervous system work, the letting go of perfection, and the rebuilding of trust with yourself behind the scenes.
In this Coaches Corner, Coach Rachel and I get personal, reflecting on the biggest breakthroughs, setbacks, health wins, identity shifts, and athletic goals that shaped our 2025.
From mold recovery, anxiety, rebuilding self-trust, reigniting athletic identity, and setting bold new goals - this episode is raw, grounding, and insanely validating if you’ve been feeling stuck in your own evolution.
Tune in & tag us with your 2026 goals after you listen. 🚀
Still setting goals every year… but somehow ending up in the same place by spring? 👀
You write the list, you make the vision board, you set the intentions… And yet you lose momentum, fall out of routine, or feel like you’re constantly “starting fresh.”
Sound familiar?
It’s not because you’re inconsistent.
It’s not because you “just need more discipline.”
It’s not because you don’t want it badly enough.
It’s because most goal-setting focuses on what you want to achieve - almost no one teaches you how to become the woman who actually embodies those goals daily.
If you’re tired of setting the same goals year after year and are ready to shift your identity, your habits, and your entire approach…this one is going to land deep.
Tune in to set your 2026 goals with me!
Still doing all the right things… but nothing seems to stick long-term? 👀
You track your macros, hit your steps, drink your water, follow the plan…
And yet somehow you fall off, lose momentum, or end up starting over again.
Sound familiar? It’s not because you’re lazy, uncommitted, or “sabotaging yourself.”
It’s because most coaching only teaches WHAT to do - almost no one teaches you how to become the woman who does it automatically.
If you feel like you’ve learned a lot but still can’t sustain it… this one will hit home.

Is investing in your health selfish… or the smartest decision you can make?
So many people hesitate to spend time, money, or energy on themselves… whether it’s hiring a coach, saying no to a social event, or simply choosing sleep over scrolling.
The inner dialogue sounds like:
“I don’t have time…
I can’t afford it…
people will think I’m being difficult.”
But the truth? Not investing in yourself costs far more.
Fatigue, brain fog, poor mood, stalled progress, strained relationships - all byproducts of ignoring the foundation of your health.
In this week’s Coaches Corner, Coach Rachel and I open up about our own health and personal investments in ourselves, and the trickle effect each choice had across every area of life.
This conversation will challenge you to look at where your time, money, and energy are going - and whether those investments are truly serving you.
