Most people only track progress by the scale — and then freak out when it doesn't move. But fat loss isn't linear, daily fluctuations are normal, and the scale is just one tiny piece of the puzzle.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

• What realistic fat loss looks like
• Why losing too fast leads to muscle loss + slower metabolism
• The 5 ways to track progress that actually matter
• A client story that proves how important it is to zoom out
• How to stay consistent even when the scale is acting chaotic

If you're starting fresh this January and you want to avoid the classic "I'm not losing fast enough" spiral — this episode will be a game-changer.

Are carbs really the enemy? Not if you're an active woman who wants more energy, better workouts, and a stronger, leaner body.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why cutting carbs can actually hold you back — especially if you're training hard in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. You'll learn how to use carbs strategically to boost performance, recovery, and hormone health, plus how to choose the right kinds for your goals.

💥 This episode covers:

• Why carbs are essential for active women.
• How carbs impact strength, recovery, and muscle growth.
• The best times to eat carbs for performance and energy.
• Examples of smart pre- and post-workout carb choices.
• My favorite carbs to fuel my workouts.

Whether you're lifting heavy, training for endurance, or just want to feel energized again — this episode will help you understand how to make carbs work for you, not against you.
