Today’s podcast is from a Live Coaching session inside our Alumni program, Beyond MACROS101, where I sit down with Leah to unpack what seemed like a simple macro-tracking problem, but turned into a much deeper conversation about choice, ownership, and intentionality. We talk about the difference between actively making your own decisions and just reacting to life as it happens, and how that mindset shift can completely change your relationship with food, goals, and even yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “getting away with something” in your fitness journey, this episode will challenge the way you think about progress, flexibility, and personal responsibility.

In this episode, I sit down with Stacey Harkey to unpack a truth most of us don’t realize at first: you don’t actually want to lose weight; you want to like yourself. We dive into Stacey’s journey from Studio C to personal training, and the powerful lessons he’s learned about authenticity, confidence, and taking up space. We talk about why chasing external goals like weight loss can keep you stuck, how fear and people-pleasing hold you back, and what it really looks like to build self-worth from the inside out. This conversation challenged me in the best way, and I know it will for you, too. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or that you need to shrink yourself to be accepted, this episode is your reminder: you were meant to shine.

In this episode, I share a late-night realization about why so many people give up just before their efforts start to pay off. By reflecting on my own journey of recovering from chronic pain, I illustrate how this experience transformed my understanding of change, patience, and what it truly means to make progress. We explore the common trap of confusing slow results with a lack of results, a misconception that often leaves people feeling stuck. To help you navigate these moments of doubt, I offer five essential questions to determine whether you should maintain your current course or make a strategic pivot. Whether you are questioning if your hard work is making a difference or considering throwing in the towel, this discussion offers a fresh perspective on staying committed long enough to achieve meaningful outcomes.

In this episode, I dive into why getting started on your fitness journey can feel so hard, and what to do about it. I break down how we often make “starting” way bigger than it needs to be, why our brain resists change, and how past experiences can hold us back. I walk you through how to redefine getting started in a way that feels doable today, so you can finally take that first step and build real, sustainable momentum. If this resonates with you, take one small action today and share this episode with someone who needs that push to get started, too.

In this episode, I sit down with Shaylee Williams, aka The Unfiltered Fit Mom, to talk about what it really takes to reach your fitness goals, and why the real secret is simply continuing to show up. We dive into Shaylee’s journey with CrossFit, the mindset that helped her finally hit a 300-lb back squat after years of trying, and the lessons she’s learned about mental toughness, self-doubt, and persistence along the way. We also talk about motherhood, competing for the experience, and why you don’t have to be elite to call yourself an athlete. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because progress is taking longer than you expected, this conversation is a reminder that consistency, not perfection, is what ultimately gets you there.
