WE'RE BACK! After a too-long podcasting hiatus, the Get to the Point podcast is BACK with new episodes - and we're kicking it off with 2 must-ask questions before you set your next health & fitness goal. No matter your goal, whether it's losing weight, building muscle, or even working out consistently - NOT asking these questions is making your life so much harder than it has to be! Get started on the right foot: ask these two questions FIRST and you'll have a much easier time reaching your goals.

Pregnancy gets a bad rap, but that's no surprise given that most women aren't exercising regularly or eating a balanced, nutritious diet before they get pregnant. Everything is harder when you're not strong, fit, or fueling your body right. Pregnancy CAN be a positive experience - if you lay the groundwork beforehand with good habits and lifestyle choices.

The first in a 3-part series, Episode 63 breaks down the 4-part foundation for a fit, positive pregnancy. Learn how (and why) to train, eat, and live for a strong, healthy body before you even get pregnant.

Last April, we had the pleasure of working with Tara in our April FAT LOSS LIFESTYLE SCHOOL program.

In this episode, Tara is sharing her journey with us: the obstacles, the wins, the mindset - all of it! Press PLAY and prepare to be inspired by her example!

Welcome to a 3-part series on the word we've been obsessed with so far this year: OWNERSHIP. It's the missing piece in so many attempts at fat loss and lifestyle change, so we're tackling it head on and dedicating 3 episodes to it!

If you've ever suspected that you are the biggest road block to reaching your goals, this episode will give you a dose of tough love and some practical steps for getting out of your own way!

If you're listening in real time, this episode is being recorded the week between Christmas and New Years. A time when most people are doubling-down on eating ALL THE THINGS because they know, come January 1, their new diet starts - and bye-bye to everything delicious. 

But what if this year, you did something different and approached your weight loss goals without demonizing/omitting certain foods? In this episode, you'll learn why extreme fad diets are contributing to this cycle of cutting out foods (then eating them in excess because you miss them so much. You'll also learn our proven methods for shutting down Food Fomo FOREVER.
