This one feels like I’m standing naked in front of all you- which, actually at this point would be less scary than talking about the M word… money.  I wasn’t always willing to offer up my naked body (ha!) but that’s because I’ve spent years fighting for the right to love myself, my body, and all of its flaws.  So … Read More

This is an impromptu episode- but it is SO important to me! Pay no mind to the infographics you will see all over social media that tell us how many calories we need to burn off in order to eat whatever piece of candy we want.  In this episode, we briefly cover the surface about how to pave the way … Read More

Well, ladies- I’ve done it. I’ve managed to say the “F word” more than ever before in an episode- woops!  This is a no holds barred episode, and I’m throwing it all out there. First, I answer the question I hear a few times each week: “When is this supposed to get easier?” And then– well, then I go into … Read More

If you’ve followed me for any length of time- you’ll know that I don’t preach extreme. If any one diet has a protocol that says “Eat this, not that”, I’m out.  If any one diet has a protocol that says “here is what you CAN eat, here is what you CANNOT eat”, I’m out.  Once the dial is turned too … Read More

I’m … Read More

And I liiiike it!  Today, we’re talking about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, and which one you NEED in order to be able to adopt a healthy lifestyle once and for all.  I make a mention to a certain study- and here is the link if you want more … Read More

Women come to me all of the time opening up about their body image issues. Almost daily. I LOVE this conversation because it allows me to talk about what I’m most passionate about– how the fuck are we supposed to love our body if we’re not 100% where we want to be? Maybe we’re not as lean as we want … Read More

What do you want written on your headstone? Bleak- I know- and not *quite* what I’m talking about today- but, sort of.  Your self-identification can either help you or hurt you. Do you consider yourself the chubby girl? Because that’s who you were 20 years ago? What about now? Or do you consider yourself a fit, confident badass? What’s the … Read More

What’s the most overlooked and ignored component on the quest to the most confident, strong, and badass lifestyle?  Sorry to ruin the surprise, but: it’s the way in which we speak to ourselves.  How you talk to yourself determines whether or not you will succeed in the long haul. It determines how you feel- will you feel like a strong … Read More

Believe it or not, we all have these stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.  “I’ll never lose weight.” “I’ll always be fat.” “I always have to overeat ice cream!” “I don’t have any self control.” Sounds like you’ve already made your mind up to just continue sucking.  If you’re fine with a complacent life- get on with your bad self. … Read More
