Hey there. For years, the fitness industry has convinced us to hate our bodies, criticizing how they look, perform, and measure up to impossible standards. But here’s the truth: success isn’t about tearing yourself down to achieve a goal. It’s about building a strong relationship with yourself and trusting in your abilities.
The mechanics of weight loss are simple, but the real challenge is creating a foundation of confidence and self-acceptance. You don’t need to wage a mental tug-of-war every day. Instead, let’s focus on building a life centered on your preferences, your strengths, and your goals.

Hey there. I talk a lot about appreciating your body and building habits that work for your life, but this episode gave me a chance to go deeper and show you what that really looks like for me. I live with cerebral palsy, and while I’m grateful for everything I’m able to do, the day-to-day reality is tough. Most days, my body is worn out by noon. My legs tighten up, my back aches, and I often have to work around unexpected pain. But I still get up. I still move. I still show up.
Hey there. At some point, the world convinced you that you had to earn your self-worth. That if you did the right things, bought the right products, followed the right plan… you’d finally feel better about yourself. I want to challenge that. Actually, I want to help you unlearn it.
Because the truth is… you already have everything you need inside you.
Hey there. For years, I never felt like enough. No matter how lean I was, how defined my muscles looked, or how much my body changed, it was never enough. I remember being obsessed with body fat percentages. I carried one of those handheld testers around in the early 2000s when I worked at a gym, and I would check my readings constantly. Even when the numbers looked good, even when I knew I was walking around at a pretty lean ten to fifteen percent body fat, it still wasn’t enough. There was always someone leaner, someone more muscular, someone I thought looked better than me.
Hey there. I’ve been thinking a lot about how social media fits into our health and fitness journeys. Not just as a place to find workouts or get motivation, but how it actually affects the way we see ourselves. The scroll can feel endless. And most days, it's filled with reminders of what we’re not, what we’re not doing, and what we should be chasing.
Hey there. There are going to be times when fitness just doesn’t click. You might have a plan, good intentions, and the space to follow through, but for some reason, you just don’t. Maybe it’s a few missed workouts. Maybe it’s weeks. Maybe it turns into months. And you might start asking yourself what’s wrong or how you let it get to this point. I’ve been there too.
