This episode is one I have wanted to make for a long time because exercise addiction is one of the most undertalked and most misunderstood struggles in the wellness space. Not because it's rare, but because from the outside it looks exactly like something to be celebrated. I'm sharing my own personal journey with exercise addiction, what it actually looked like and what it took to build a genuinely healthy relationship with movement on the other side.
We cover: What exercise addiction actually is and how it differs from just really loving the gym Why it develops and why the fitness industry actively reinforces it Why exercise addiction is like any other addiction My personal journey with it What it actually felt like to pull back - the anxiety, the identity crisis, the grief How to start building a relationship with movement that actually feels free

Happy 1 Year Period Anniversary to Me! On today's episode I reflected back on my own period recovery journey and the mental shifts that came along with it. Recovery forced me to change my whole belief system, trust in a process I didn't even know was working and rediscover who I was before the world told me who I should be. Here are 7 quotes that rewired my brain and altered my brain chemistry and I hope that they might do the same for you. Thank you all for being here! xo

This week it’s a Q&A and we’re getting into all of it - the personal stuff and the recovery stuff. This one feels like a proper catch up and I loved every second of it.
This week I’m sharing the nutrition advice I find myself giving again and again as a women’s health coach, the stuff that actually moves the needle and that mainstream nutrition culture consistently gets wrong.
This week's question is one I think so many of us need to hear answered honestly because rest guilt is real, it is incredibly common, and it has nothing to do with being lazy.
