Show Notes
If you crave seeing the kind of change in your bod—the kind that turns heads… If you want your body to look like you train… If you’re scared that maybe—just maybe—it’s not going to happen for you… That you’ll never get the results you know you’re working for... Listen to this. Then listen to it again.
Thirteen years ago, I was flat on the floor—literally—unable to get up. I had a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science. I was about to start my Master’s in Dietetics. I’d trained my whole damn life. And I still didn’t know what to do.
This is the story of how I learned to actually train. How to do the right thing, at the right time—the right way. This story is for the woman who’s doing everything “right”—but still not seeing results. It’s not your effort that’s the problem girl. It’s your approach.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
You can be doing all the right things—with the wrong approach.
Most women don’t need more effort—they need better execution.
When you train from fear, urgency, or stress, your results stall.
Getting real-time coaching and feedback on your movements changes everything.
Training with precision, presence, and power is what builds the body you love.
QUOTES:
“I was holding my life together with coffee, cortisol, and pure stubbornness.”
“No metaphor here, girl. I was literally stuck on the floor. And I didn’t know what to do.”
“You’re doing the work. But underneath all that effort? There’s fear.”
“It’s not just about training hard—it’s about training well.”
“You don’t need more reps. You need to do the right thing, at the right time, the right way.”
THE INVITE:
If you’re ready for the real shift—the kind that changes your training, your confidence, and your bod—you need to be in the room.
🖤 Play To Win is my new in-person workshop experience in Vancouver and Toronto. A full-day of hands-on training, feedback, coaching, and the push you've been craving.
This is where you learn:
How to train with confidence—so you stop second-guessing yourself and finally feel strong, capable, and certain in your lifts.
How to grow the parts you actually want to grow—your glutes, your back, your arms.
How to squat, hinge, push, and pull effectively—so you can get super strong and start seeing real change in how your body looks.
How to make training fun again—because when we train together, the energy hits different. You get a push you can’t get on your own.

We've spent the last six episodes talking about exercise selection, position, stability, force production, recovery, adaptation, and what training actually is.
A few months ago, I asked you about your health and training. And almost all of you said some version of the same thing: "I feel like I'm doing all the right things... so why isn't it working?" You’re training. You’re walking. You’re eating protein. You’re trying to tick all the boxes. And yet you still feel stuck. You're tired from thinking about training. You're carrying the mental load of trying to get it right. The food. The workouts. The steps. The supplements. The sleep. The recovery.
This is THE episode the whole series has been building toward girl. We've done the position work. We've done stability. And now, we finally get to talk about force production and mechanical tension— the third layer of the Training Hierarchy and the actual thing that drives muscle growth, strength, and body recomposition. She’s the queen! In this EP, I go alllll the way into the science. I break down what mechanical tension is at a cellular level. I go deep on motor units, the Henneman's Size Principle, internal load versus external load and proximity to failure. This is THE episode that makes it all click girl. The one that explains why you've been working hard and not seeing the results you want.
You can find the position. You can stack your joints, create your brace, get yourself organised. And then the set gets hard — and you lose it all. You start to feel her in your lower back. And every damn time you try to deadlift or back squat you flare her up. That's a stability problem girl. And it's one of the biggest reasons women plateau in their training.
You can work as hard as you want girl. But if your position is off, the signal won't make it. Today we go deep on position — the first and most important layer of the Training Hierarchy. Because before we talk about progressive overload, before we talk about how heavy you're lifting, before we talk about any of that — we need to talk about whether you're actually in the right position to create a training stimulus at all. This is the stuff women's health and fitness isn't talking about. And it's exactly why so many of you are showing up consistently, lifting weights, following programs — and still not getting the results you're working toward. In this EP I break down what position actually means — your ability to organise your bod in space, stack your joints, and create the environment where force can travel efficiently through the system. I explain the two key positional principles that sit at the base of every lift: ribcage over pelvis, and intra-abdominal pressure. And I show you what happens when position breaks down — the force leaks, the compensation patterns, and why your body is feeling it in the wrong places. I also walk you through exercise selection as a position decision — because the exercise you choose determines the position you're asking your body to get into. If your body can't get into that position, the exercise is not doing what you think it's doing. By the end of this EP you'll have a completely different way of approaching your training session. Not just what you're doing — but how you're setting yourself up, why position matters before load, and how to know whether the exercise you're doing is actually the right exercise for your body right now. I give you a practical experiment to take into your next session and four questions to ask yourself about every exercise you do. This is the foundation. Build it properly and everything else gets easier.
