679: What Is Muscle Confusion and Is It Actually Real? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever finished a workout and thought, "Wait… was that even hard enough?" Maybe you were not sore the next day. Maybe the exercises felt familiar. Maybe you have heard someone say your muscles need to be "confused" or "kept guessing" if you want to keep seeing results. And suddenly, repeating the same kinds of movements starts to feel like you are doing something wrong. I get why it sounds convincing. New workouts feel exciting. New exercises can make you sore. New formats can make you fe
678: 3 Things I Wish I Knew About Tying My Identity to My Appearance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey hey beautiful human! I want to talk about something I spent way too much of my life doing without even realizing how much it was affecting me. And that is…letting the mirror decide how I felt about myself. When my jeans fit right, I felt confident. When I liked what I saw, I felt good.

The discipline is there. And somehow, energy feels low, cravings feel louder, workouts feel harder, and progress still feels like it is not moving. So the next thought is usually, "I just need to be stricter." But girl, what if eating less is not what your body needs right now? In this bonus episode o
675: 7 Things I Stopped Feeling Guilty About After Becoming a Mom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mama, can we talk about the guilt for a second? I swear, after becoming a mom, guilt can attach itself to almost anything. The workout you needed. The easy dinner that saved your sanity. The moment you asked for help. The boundary you set. The quiet thought of, "I need a break," followed immediately by, "Wait, am I allowed to feel that?" And for a while, I think I confused that guilt with caring. But what I am learning is that guilt can take an already full, already demanding season and make it
