240. Samantha went from cardio bunny to 3+ years of consistent strength training from her living room while working crazy hours from home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Samantha works crazy hours from home, often across multiple time zones, and travels for work. She was never a gym person and before BBM, most of her exercise came from Peloton and cardio. What changed was finding a way to strength train that actually fit her life. For more than three years, Samantha has trained consistently with me from her living room. No commute to the gym. No wasting time getting there and back. No forcing herself into an environment she never liked in the first place. She ca

Read excerpt
Jaimie teaches yoga and Pilates and has competed in bodybuilding. She knows fitness. She knows what she should be doing. And for almost a year, she wasn’t doing it. After her competition, she stopped training consistently, stopped feeling connected to her body, and started feeling like a fraud while teaching other people to take care of theirs. She spent months watching BBM before finally reaching out. Two months later, she feels like herself again. We talk about what happens when you know exact

A friend introduced her to me, and 3.5 years later, she is still training with BBM. In this episode, Jo
237. What it’s like to have a coach by your side while leaving a 20-year relationship, walking away from a 6-year business, and starting over at 41 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Clara first came to me for fitness coaching in 2023. Almost immediately, our work expanded into performance coaching and business mentorship. What started with training quickly became about much more than fitness. For the next two years, I had the privilege of supporting her through one of the biggest transitions of her life. When we first started working together, Clara knew something in her life wasn’t right, but she couldn’t put it into words. She had spent six years living and working on a b
236. How a 42-year-old mom of two girls lost 50+ pounds, reversed pre-diabetes, built a home gym, and got her sanity back after starting with life coaching instead of BBM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Basema is about to turn 43. She’s a mom of two young daughters. When she reached out to me in 2023, she wasn’t in a place where another workout plan was going to change her life. She was overwhelmed, isolated, depressed after having her girls, recovering from COVID isolation, the most overweighted she’s ever been, and trying to hold everything together without family nearby. So we didn’t start with training. For 6 months we worked only on life coaching. We focused on small steps, decision-making
