Show Notes
Sis, we need to talk about the stuff no one tells us—periods, PCOS, and endometriosis. As someone with a Bachelor of Pharmacy (1st class honors), working on a PhD in Pharmacy, and with years of experience in the field, I’m here to share what I know. But let’s be real, I’m not a doctor, just your gym girl bestie giving you the lowdown.
In this episode, we’re breaking it all down—how your menstrual cycle works, what’s really going on with PCOS and endo, and how these things can mess with your gym progress. I’m even spilling some TMI about my own period struggles and how they inspired this convo. I’ll walk you through actionable tips to make gym life more manageable, from listening to your body and fueling it right to building a support system that’s got your back. Because you’re not lazy - you’re a badass who’s showing up for herself, even when it’s hard.
So, grab your tampons, tie up those gym shoes, and let’s do this. You’re stronger than you know, and I’m here to remind you every step of the way.

Do you feel like your fitness journey never sticks...NO MATTER how motivated you are at the start? Like you’re constantly starting over, never doing enough, and wondering if anything will actually help? In this episode, we’re talking about the exhausting cycle so many women are stuck in: trying again, falling off, blaming yourself, and believing you’re the problem.
Welcome back to That Gym Girl Podcast, my girl! Today we’re diving into a brutally honest, big-sister chat about something almost every woman in her 20s feels but rarely admits…why your 20s feel confusing, lonely and chaotic, why everyone looks like they’re ahead, how comparison sneaks into your mind and steals your joy AND most importantly: how to get off the “I’m behind” hamster wheel
I'm backkkkk!!! Did you miss me? 'Cause I missed you! And I cannot wait to ride this wild December together as we both enter a new season...buckle up my girl because we are in for a treat!
You feel guilty for missing a workout. You feel guilty for doing a workout. Guilty for eating the cookie. Guilty for skipping the wine. Guilty for prioritizing yourself—for once. Sis… enough.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly falling off track, ghosting your gym goals, or starting over every Monday — this one’s for you, sis. You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You’re just stuck in a system that no longer serves you.
