• 191| The Consistency Lie: Why 'Just Be Consistent' Is Terrible Advice for Moms
    Feb 2 2026

    Think "just be consistent" is the answer to your fitness struggles?

    Think again. In this episode, I'm breaking down why this advice is not only useless for moms, but actually harmful - and what actually creates the consistency you're craving.

    We're talking about the real barriers keeping you from showing up for strength training workouts and healthy eating, why your context matters more than your willpower, and how to build healthy habits that support consistency.

    If you're done feeling like a failure every time you can't "just do it," this one's for you.

  • 188| The 5 Strength Training Mistakes Beginners Make That Actually Get Them Hurt
    Jan 21 2026

    You're right to be cautious about strength training - lifting incorrectly CAN hurt you. But staying on the sidelines because you're scared means missing out on building the strong, capable body you deserve.

    In this episode, I'm walking you through the 5 mistakes I see beginners make that actually cause injuries - from going too heavy too soon (the ego trap), to not knowing the difference between good discomfort and bad pain, to skipping the core brace that protects your spine.

    Because strength training isn't inherently dangerous - but it does require you to be intentional. And you deserve to build strength safely for years, not just weeks.

    Enjoy!

  • 187| Why I Don't Work Out With My (Little) Kids Around
    Jan 19 2026

    If you're trying to strength train with your kids climbing on you, you're not actually training - you're teaching them that mom's needs are negotiable.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down why your nervous system literally cannot be "on" for childcare and strength training simultaneously (it's physiology, not a personality flaw), why that matters for your safety and progress, and four real solutions for getting focused workout time - even when you're the primary caretaker.

    Because you're not just a mom. You're also a person with goals. And that person deserves to show up fully for herself.

    Enjoy!

    Jan 12 2026

    Clickbait alert: You CAN lose 20 pounds in one week. But not the way you think.

    In this episode, I'm calling out the quick-fix mentality that keeps moms stuck in the cycle of starting, failing, and feeling like failures. If you clicked hoping for some magic solution, that's exactly why you need to listen.
