Hey there. One of my biggest frustrations in the fitness industry is how often professionals talk at people instead of with them. If you've been on your health journey for a while, you probably know exactly what I mean. It’s that tone where someone tells you what you should do, without ever asking what you’ve already tried or what you actually prefer.
Hey there. If you’ve been trying to lose weight or stick to a fitness routine for years... you are not alone. I’ve worked with so many people who’ve lost weight, gained it back, tried again, lost some more, and then found themselves right back at the start. Maybe you’ve told yourself that you just need to get your stuff together. That the next plan will be the one. That consistency is the missing piece.
Hey there. We hear it all the time. Get out of your comfort zone. Push yourself. Stretch past what feels safe.
And yeah, I get it. There’s value in challenging yourself. However, before you push outside of your comfort zone, you need to get really good at working within it. Not only that, but you need to clearly identify where your comfort zone actually is.
Hey there. When it comes to fitness and weight loss, we are often told that the answer is more discipline, more willpower, and more hype. I bought into that for a long time too. But over the years, I have realized that the real solution is something very different. It is about building a calm, steady confidence that comes from working on your habits from the inside/out.
Hey there. What if you appreciated your body at every stage of your journey? Not just when you hit a certain goal, not just when you looked a certain way, but all the time. I know that sounds like a completely different approach from what you’ve probably been told, but it can change everything.
Hey there. I used to spend a lot of time chasing what I thought was the “optimal” way to approach weight loss and fitness. Like many of you, I followed the advice of people who looked a certain way or quoted research studies that sounded really convincing. And for a while, I thought that was what I needed. If I could just find the best way to do it, I’d finally be successful.
Hey there. One of the most important things to think about when it comes to long-term success with weight loss is how you're going to manage maintenance. For a lot of people, getting to a goal weight is the focus, but what happens after that? What does life look like when you're not actively trying to lose weight anymore?
Hey there. For years, I’ve believed that the best way to approach life is from the inside out. That means starting with a connection to yourself before making decisions about your health, fitness, and everything else. When you take this approach, you’re not just following trends or reacting to outside pressures. You’re making choices based on what truly matters to you.
Hey there. We live in a world where we are constantly told what we should be doing. Social media is filled with fitness influencers and self-development gurus shouting about discipline, willpower, and taking action. You scroll through your feed, nodding in agreement, thinking, “Yeah, they’re right.” But you don’t act on it. You don’t make the change. And then, the guilt creeps in.
Hey there. I’ve always been someone who feels better when I’m moving. Even when I’m sitting still, working on something that needs my attention, there’s this underlying feeling that I’d be better off if I just got up and took a quick walk. Exercise, activity, movement—whatever you want to call it—has a noticeable impact on how I feel mentally and emotionally.
Hey there. When it comes to fitness, we’re often told what to do. We see the workouts, the meal plans, and the before-and-after pictures. But what we don’t see is the foundation that makes all of it stick. That’s why I believe in an inside-out approach to fitness. It’s not just about what actions you take. It’s about why you take them.
Hey there. You ever feel like loving yourself is a concept that sounds good in theory, but when it comes to actually doing it, you hesitate? You’re not alone. For a lot of us, especially when we’re on a weight loss journey or trying to “better” ourselves, it feels like loving who we are right now is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. But what if I told you that loving yourself isn’t just a feel-good idea, it’s the foundation for real change?
Hey there. Everyone’s approach to an active lifestyle is different. While structure and consistency matter, what fills that framework has to be based on your preferences and your ability level. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness or nutrition, it all comes down to what works for you.
Hey there. When most people start a new eating plan, their first instinct is to cut back. They immediately focus on eating less, removing certain foods, and restricting their intake in hopes of losing weight. While calorie deficit is necessary for weight loss, the approach I recommend is the reverse: addition before subtraction.
