Show Notes
You've heard it before: "The only way to lose weight is a calorie deficit." And while that statement is technically true, it's also one of the most oversimplified pieces of fitness advice on the internet. In this episode, I'm breaking down what a calorie deficit actually is, why it's not as simple as "eat less and move more," and why some women may need to focus on maintenance calories before worrying about fat loss. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or confused about why eating less...

Life feels a little freaking heavy right now, doesn't it?? Between the changing seasons, busy schedules, social media, family responsibilities, and trying to take care of ourselves, there's A LOT going on. Instead of another episode diving deep into workouts, macros, or anything fitness related, I really just want to chat with you. Sometimes, we need a reminder that we're all navigating our own shit (and we’re not doing it alone). Lately, I've been feeling the pull to slow d...
We're officially diving deeper into lean build season, because eating more food alone isn't going to build the body you want! If you're increasing your calories, but your training isn't giving your body a reason to change, you're not actually setting yourself up to build muscle. In today’s episode, I'm talking about how to execute a lean build AND how your training needs to support it. You need a few things in place to do this well: consistent resistance training, progressive overlo...
I’m excited to continue our build season conversation with another fun Q&A! In today’s episode, I'm talking all about TRAINING. Think lean builds (something I’ve been asked about a lot lately), body recomposition, workout splits, progressive overload, reps in reserve (RIR), and more. Yes, ALL of the stuff that can sound way more complicated than it actually is (I promise, it really isn’t)! My goal with this episode (as always), is to unf*ck it for you so you understand what yo...
We are officially moving into BUILD season (which I’m pumped about)! But…maybe the thought of intentionally eating more, watching the scale potentially go up, and NOT trying to get smaller makes you uncomfortable. If you can relate, you’re not alone, but it’s something we need to talk about more. If you want more muscle, shape, strength, and that “toned” look everyone is chasing, you can't spend your entire fitness journey in a calorie deficit! In today’s episode, I'm breaking down what...
Feel like your progress has stalled? The scale isn't moving, your clothes fit the same, and you’re not seeing the changes you want in the mirror. Naturally, your first thought is “Should I lower my calories?” Before you start cutting food again though, I need you to think about this instead: Are you actually training hard enough to give your body a reason to change? In today’s episode, I'm talking about why eating less has become our default answer anytime we don't like what we see (and w...
