In this episode, I’m sharing a Live Coaching session with Marissa where we talk about one of the most common struggles I see when starting MACROS 101: our relationship with the scale. If the number can instantly change your mood, make you question everything you’re doing, or tempt you to jump to the next plan, you’re not alone. We talk about the “messy middle,” why your brain craves certainty, and how learning to tolerate discomfort is the real key to long-term success. This episode isn’t just about the scale; it’s about building the emotional resilience to stay consistent and trust yourself through the process.

Today’s episode is a special one because I’m feeling that excitement again, being back behind the mic and now sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned from 10 years of coaching and working with over 10,000 women. I dive into why macro tracking is a tool, not a diet, why progress doesn’t always look like success, and why mindset and self-trust matter more than perfect plans. I also talk about how to fit macros into your life, the key questions to ask before starting any fitness journey, and why this was never really about the food. If you’ve ever felt stuck or felt like you’ve failed before, this episode will help you look at your fitness journey through a completely new lens.

In this episode, I share an honest behind-the-scenes look at why I seriously considered stepping away from the podcast. I unpack a powerful lesson on pacing, from CrossFit to business, that helped me recognize burnout, challenge all-or-nothing thinking, and choose a more sustainable path forward. I also discuss how the rise of AI has influenced my desire to create more personal and authentic content in 2026. Listen in to hear what’s changing, why I’m slowing the pace instead of quitting, and how you can apply the same principle of sustainability in your own goals.

We’re wrapping up our final “Best of 2025” episode with a powerful replay from Episode 269, a Live Coaching session from inside MACROS 101. One of the reasons I’m such a believer in coaching is that it helps bridge the gap between knowledge and implementation. And often, hearing someone else get coached can spark breakthroughs you didn’t know you needed. In this episode, Elise opens up about her fear of both success and failure, and how self-doubt kept holding her back. Together, we walk through how to reprogram the brain, rewrite old stories, and step into the belief of “I am enough.” As we head into a new year, this conversation is the perfect reminder that real change starts with what you believe about yourself. Let’s dive in.

If you’ve ever worried about “messing up” your tracking during the holidays, this conversation will give you clarity and confidence.
