  • Energy Cleanse Meditation (Self-Care Saturday)
    Jun 14 2025

    This meditation is an energy cleanse — something you can return to whenever life feels heavy, your emotions feel cluttered, or your nervous system is overstimulated. This practice is here to help you release, reset, and come home to your own inner light.

    This will be a guided meditation to help you release the tension, stress, and emotional weight you’ve been carrying all week long.

    This one’s for you if you’ve been feeling:

    • Drained by other people’s energy.
    • Heavy from the noise of the world.
    • Disconnected from yourself.
    • Or just ready to shake off the week and start fresh.

  • Should You Avoid Exercises If They Hurt? An Overview of Pain (Throwback Thursday)
    Jun 12 2025

    We’re diving into a question I get all the time as a coach, trainer, and someone who’s worked with thousands of people in pain:

    "Should I stop doing this exercise if it hurts?"

    We talk pain, movement, injuries, mindset, posture, programming, tendons, recovery—you name it. And most importantly, we challenge the way most people think about pain.

    You’ll hear stories from my personal journey of healing from ruptured tendons, broken bones, and all kinds of setbacks.
    You’ll also learn about the 7 fundamental human movements every single person should be able to do—and what to do if pain is keeping you from doing them.

    This episode is about ownership.
    About reclaiming your power and rebuilding confidence in your body, one rep at a time.
    Because pain doesn’t mean you’re broken. It might actually be your body asking for your attention.

    Pain is not the end of the story. It’s the beginning of your comeback.

    So whether you’re a fitness newbie, a weekend warrior, or someone who’s been struggling with chronic pain for years—this episode is a must-listen.

    Let’s roll it back to one of the most important conversations we’ve ever had on this show.
    Here’s your Throwback Thursday:
    “Should You Avoid Exercises If They Hurt? An Overview of Pain” — let’s dive in.

    Jun 10 2025

    Today we’re tackling one of the most common and sneaky traps in fitness: overtraining.
    It’s a buzzword you’ve probably heard, but do you actually know what it is, why it happens, and how to fix it?

    If you’ve been grinding hard in the gym but feeling like you’re spinning your wheels — low energy, stalled progress, random aches, irritability, maybe even getting sick more often — you might be pushing past the point of progress and into the danger zone of overtraining.

    But here’s the good news: overtraining isn’t a dead-end. It’s a yellow flag — and today, I’m giving you the exact playbook to recognize it, reverse it, and come back stronger.

    Let’s dive in.

  • How You Show Up in the World Matters (Mindset Monday)
    Jun 9 2025

    Today’s episode is one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make —
    and it’s this:

    👉 How you show up in the world matters.

    This episode isn’t just about positive thinking — it’s about creating a ripple effect that changes how you experience your life, how others respond to you, and how you train your brain to scan for possibility instead of threat.

    It’s about shifting from being stuck in a negative loop… to becoming the kind of person who magnetizes good energy and opportunity.

    From the way you smile at a stranger to the way you speak to yourself in the mirror, you are shaping not just your day — but your destiny.

    We’re unpacking the science, the mindset shifts, and the actionable tools to help you break out of negativity and step into the most powerful, authentic version of you.

    And it’s backed by science.

  • Reset Your Mood in 10 Minutes: Gratitude Meditation + Breathwork" (Self-Care Saturday)
    May 10 2025

    Today, we’re not here to talk about crushing a workout or diving into some health study… Today, we’re here to slow down. To reconnect. To reset.

    Because self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a requirement for longevity. It’s how we fill our cups so we can pour into others.

    For this episode we’re going to take 10 minutes to do something that science says can literally rewire your brain:
    We’re going to breathe... and we’re going to practice gratitude.


    Why this matters:

    Gratitude has been shown to boost dopamine and serotonin—the feel-good chemicals in your brain. It reduces cortisol, improves sleep, strengthens relationships, and even boosts your immune system.

    And when you combine it with slow, intentional breathing, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the calm, rest-and-repair side of your body. This shifts you out of stress mode and into a healing state.

    So find a quiet place. Get comfortable. And let’s begin.

  • Why You’re Always Hungry — And How to Fix It (Fuel-Up Friday)
    May 9 2025

    Let me ask you something:

    👉 Have you ever crushed a healthy breakfast, nailed your workout, and still found yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips by 3 PM?

    👉 Or told yourself “No snacks tonight” only to be in a standoff with the pantry at 9:30?

    👉 Or wondered why you’re hungry, even though you just ate?

    You’re not broken. You’re human. And today, I’m going to show you why.

    Because hunger isn’t just about food—it’s about your hormones, your habits, your environment, your sleep, and your subconscious patterns. It’s a whole system. And most people are unknowingly fueling the wrong one.

    So today, I’m breaking down 12 science-backed habits—straight from Dr. Mark Hyman’s playbook—that will hack your hunger, curb your cravings, and help you take back control of your health and metabolism. These are the exact strategies I use myself and with clients to make fat loss easier, energy steadier, and choices simpler.

    These habits aren’t extreme. They’re not a diet. They’re powerful levers—small shifts that move big outcomes.

    And by the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with the clarity, confidence, and tools to stop being reactive with food and start becoming intentional—one bite, one breath, one decision at a time.
