Ever feel like your body is straight-up rebelling?

You’re eating clean, working out, doing all the “right” things, but the scale won’t budge, your moods are a rollercoaster, and you’re ready to scream into a pillow every time someone asks, “What’s for dinner?”

Yep, that’s not “just life”, that’s stress overload.

In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I’m joined by the powerhouse herself, Stephanie Crassweller, to break down what stress really looks like (spoiler: it’s not just deadlines and drama). We’re unpacking how stress messes with your hormones, metabolism, sleep, cravings, basically everything, and what to actually do about it.

We talk about:

· 👉 Why “eat less, move more” is not the fix
👉 How your stress plate is overflowing, and what to take off
👉 The sneaky ways cortisol keeps your belly fat stuck
👉 Why doing less might finally get you results
👉 How to turn stress into a boundary, not a burnout badge

If you’ve ever said, “This is just how my life is,” or doubled down on harder workouts when you’re already fried, this one’s your wake-up call.

It’s time to stop fighting your body and start listening to it.

👉 Hit play now and learn how to turn stress from your enemy into your guide.

What if the harder you try, the more stuck you actually get?

I know, sounds backwards, but I learned this lesson the hard way. Picture this: I’m in Hawaii, surrounded by paradise, and instead of enjoying the damn beach, I’m in full-blown meltdown mode over whether I earned my Mai Tai.

That was the moment I realized… something had to change. Enter: The Flip Flop Life, my “napkin manifesto” that sat on my hard drive for six years before I finally brought it to life.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

· Why perfection and all-or-nothing dieting are making you miserable (not healthy).

· How to ditch the food police soundtrack running in your head 24/7.

· The boring (a.k.a. unsexy) basics that actually move the needle, sleep, stress, protein, fiber, consistency.

· What happens when you finally let it be easy instead of chasing six-week shred promises.

This isn’t another 30-day quick fix. It’s a lifestyle shift for women who are done white knuckling their way through diets, workouts, and “earning their food.”

So, if you’re ready to trade the mental gymnastics for ease, fun, and actually living your life, welcome to The Flip Flop Life.

So… Serena Williams shares she used GLP-1s to support her weight loss and the internet implodes with hot takes, shade, and side-eyes.

Here’s the truth: when it comes to midlife weight loss, some folks don’t come to this decision lightly, and others are judging from the sidelines. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide what’s working for you because someone else might label it "cheating," this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is your permission slip to shut that noise down.

In this candid, smart, and hilarious conversation, I sat down with Dr. Megan Garcia Webb, triple board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine (yes, triple), to break down:

· What GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound actually do

· Why “food noise” might be what’s really driving your cravings

· The real deal on side effects like muscle loss, gut issues, and does it really cause cancer

· Who’s a great candidate for these meds, and who should pause before jumping in

· Why natural GLP boosters are more boring than sexy (but still matter)

· How social media makes women feel like they’re doing it “wrong”, no matter what they choose

· The #1 most underrated weight loss tool (spoiler: it’s not a supplement)

· Whether you’re GLP-curious, already on it, or side-eyeing it from afar, this episode is about giving you clarity, facts, and a whole lot of freedom.

Here’s the truth: once you hit your 40s, those 2-hour gym marathons and bro-split routines aren’t just outdated… they’re working against you. What used to keep you lean and strong is now leaving you exhausted, inflamed, and frustrated.

In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I break down how to make your workouts actually work for you now:

• Why mobility and power moves are your new best friends.

• The real reason endless cardio and crunches aren’t getting you results.

• How to train for life, keeping up with kids, grandkids, and even carrying all the grocery bags in one trip.

• The underrated magic of balance and stability work to help you stay strong, steady, and injury-free.

• How to judge a workout by quality, not just time on the clock.

This isn’t about punishing yourself at the gym. It’s about smart, sustainable workouts that help you feel energized, strong, and ready for whatever life throws at you.

Is it fat… or inflammation? Dr. Shivani Gupta reveals the simple daily shifts that can cool your body’s fire and bring back your energy.

Feeling puffy, bloated, or like your body’s rebelling? It might not be “just weight”, it could be inflammation. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, an inflammation-fighting powerhouse, to unpack why midlife feels like a WTF moment for your body and what you can actually do about it.

We talk: the hidden ways stress, sleep, and modern living fuel inflammation, how to tell if it’s fat or inflammation, and the 3 daily habits that make the biggest difference (spoiler: turmeric, sleep, and less stress). Plus, Dr. Gupta shares her Ayurvedic wisdom on gut health, metabolic fire, and why your body needs seasonal “downshifts” instead of nonstop hustle.

If you’re tired of guessing, Googling, or grinding harder, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, tune in, and finally work with your body instead of against it.

Have you ever had a moment where you’re like, “Is this really my life?” Yeah… me too. Mine happened mid-cry on a StairMaster, squeezing in a 90-minute workout because I thought being “the fit girl” was my golden ticket to happiness. Sigh....t wasn’t.

In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the raw, messy truth about how I ditched the grind, stopped earning my worth through workouts, and started living what I now call The Flip Flop Life™.

This isn’t about giving up on health. It’s about giving up the hustle and rewriting the rules you didn’t even realize were running your life. If you’re tired of:
✔️ Monday “fresh starts”
✔️ Calculating every bite and step
✔️ Feeling like health is your second job

…then, girl, you’re going to LOVE this conversation.

I’ll share:
✅ The pivotal moments that cracked my “hardcore” fitness identity
✅ Why discipline was really desperation in disguise
✅ How to finally let yourself off the unrealistic hook
✅ And what living The Flip Flop Life actually looks like

If you’ve been craving more joy, less judgment, and a whole lot of freedom, you need to listen to this one.

👉 If this episode hit you in the feels, your next step is easy: get my personal manifesto (yep, the one I kept secret for years) and hop on the interest list. Think of it as your official permission slip to make healthy feel easy again.

Listen now and let’s make healthy feel easy again!

Do you have the syndrome? You know… the one where someone asks, “Hey, can you make the homecoming banner?” and before your brain or calendar catches up, your mouth says, “Of course!” Then five minutes later you remember… you’ve got a major deadline, three other commitments, and exactly zero extra hours this week.

This week, I’m sitting down with therapist (and fellow recovering good girl) Diane Lang to expose what’s really behind that knee-jerk yes—and why “being helpful” often just means putting yourself dead last.

Saying yes to everyone else isn’t what makes you valuable. In fact, the moment you stop making everyone’s emergency your problem, you gain more respect and more time for the things you actually care about.

We’re breaking down:
• Why “selfish” self-care is actually the least selfish thing you can do
• How to drop the guilt without when saying no
• The sneaky ways control addiction keeps you stuck
• And how to make “no” your new favorite word (without the apology tour)

Listen now and start building a life that doesn’t require you to earn rest, justify your boundaries, or explain why your answer is no.

If you’ve been treating every single day like it’s fat loss season, we need to talk.
