Hey guys! In this episode, I discuss three areas where I see a lot of people making mistakes in their fitness journeys. I've been there, done that with each of these topics too, so I'm here to share some wisdom with you:

1) Forever being on some kind of diet and then bingeing off of it

2) Not paying attention to overall caloric intake

3) Putting yourself in a box with how you train

In this episode, I discuss the topic of showing up as your real self, particularly in your online and social media life. I go over why as humans we tend to:

-edit pictures to show only the best of our lives

-write captions that catch attention rather than inform or educate

-share articles on social media that could be untrue just to inflame opinions from the other side of the political spectrum

-get anxiety when we spend too much time online and WHY that really is

And I talk about why I see this all as wrong. I truly believe that if we could show up as our real selves online and start treating each other with respect, the world and this country could go so much further. The online space isn't going away anytime soon, so we need to learn how to properly treat each other and share our lives with the world so that we can keep moving forwards as a nation.

Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend or on your own social media, or please write a review on Apple Podcasts if that is your listening platform of choice.

Why don’t I post my workouts for you guys very often/if at all?

Because they’re literally all the same. LOL.

In this episode, I talk to you about the importance of adhering to a consistent workout program and why just doing whatever you see your favorite person on the internet doing for the day is STUPID. Important points I hit on:

-muscle as an adaptation

-you are what you consistently do

-I probably don’t train the way you think I do

-training the same ways for years gives you the results you truly desire

Thanks for listening today!

If you enjoyed or benefitted from this episode, SHARE IT.

Love you,

In this episode, I give you my top 10 ways for staying on top of my mental health in this crazy year of 2020: Keep yourself and your environment clean. Stay physically active. Talk to someone every day. Don’t be afraid to express your emotion. Stop sharing your opinion on social media. Stop seeking news from social media. Have conversations with people whose viewpoint differs from yours. Do so OFFLINE. Listen to music and positive podcasts. Stop judging others for their viewpoints Focus on what you can control.

In this episode, I dive into:

-the importance of females specifically overtraining and under eating and how devastating it can be for our metabolisms

-males not growing muscle as quickly due to too much training stimulus and not enough muscular recovery time

-burnout when over training which leads to massive food cravings and reliance on stimulants just to get through an average day

-how to move out of the stages of burnout and over training and begin to start eating to actually fuel your activity

Thanks so much for listening! It would mean the world to me if you shared this episode with a friend.

This is some deep stuff so it’s important that we talk about multiple different aspects of this. Here are the areas I dive into today:

-Establishing your personal morals. Where do they come from? Do they shift based on who you are around? Are they rock solid when you’re under pressure? Do they come from your own beliefs or your parents’?

-Creating your looks. What can you control? Your look is a part of you and gives others the idea of what kind of person you are overall by a first impression.

-Relationships, both platonic and romantic: what are your standards? What do you believe in within a romantic relationship? Do you tell your friends everything about you? Why or why not?

These are just three areas of life, but I feel like they encompass a lot. If you want another podcast on this topic but focusing on different sub-areas, let me know!

Pros:

1. You will learn.
2. You will be pushed when you need it.
3. You will likely get out of your normal way of doing things and find new ways that you might like better.
4. You have accountability.
5. You are required to literally show up.
6. You invested yourself financially, and therefore you are more likely to follow through with the plan.
7. You save time you would spend yourself on planning your training and nutrition (depending on the coach).
8. You don’t have to think. You just show up and perform what your coach asks.
9. Your coach most likely knows a lot more than you.
10. Online coaches can do a good amount more for you than in person CPTs.

Cons:

1. You have to pay for it.
2. Your coach won’t know right away what plan is best for you and your body.
3. You might get a “bad” coach.
4. You might pay money but it doesn’t guarantee results.
5. You won’t get instant results. Expect to have a coach for a long time—I’d say plan for a year at minimum.
6. You might not get a coach that teaches you. They might just tell you what to do without explaining why.
7. In-gym personal trainers cost way too much money, and most of that money doesn’t even go to the trainer.
8. In-gym CPTs are supervised and make sure that you continually keep paying for programs.
9. On the flip side, online coaches oftentimes keep trying to make you come back to them for everything. They try to make you dependent on them by saying things like “everyone needs a coach.” That’s false. Not everyone needs a coach.
10. Coaches not “graduating” their clients to the real world.

Thanks for joining us again! In this episode, my husband and I discuss:

-qualities essential to what we consider an ideal friend. This is someone who will push us to be better but not compete against us, be financially and emotionally mature, be a deep person, and more.

-what we currently see going well and going wrong with couples our age (26 years old for both of us!)

-why no one else truly completes you

I pair up with my husband in this episode to discuss: -foods we have eaten on our own fitness journeys and how those foods have evolved over time -specific ways we stay within a food/household item budget when we shop only once every two weeks -items to buy at membership bulk food stores versus grocery stores -what actually brings weight loss: is it really eating healthy and organic?
