Crying Burns Calories

After 4 years, hundreds of thousands of downloads, and more growth than I could ever put into words, this is the final episode of Crying Burns Calories. This podcast started on my living room floor with a pair of old-school Apple headphones and a version of me that had absolutely no idea what she was doing, but decided to start anyway…. And somehow, it became so much more than just a podcast. It b...

Most women know how to lose weight. Very few have actually been taught how to maintain it. Because maintaining weight loss is a completely different skill set. It requires emotional regulation, nervous system support, flexibility, and the ability to recover quickly instead of spiraling every time life gets stressful. The women who maintain their results long term usually aren’t the most restrictiv...

We survived low-fat everything, 1200-calorie "lifestyles," and size-zero being the ideal body type, so why does it feel like we're right back where we started? In this episode, we're having the honest conversation about the new era of skinny culture and why it's more dangerous than the diet culture we grew up with, because it's hiding behind a prescription and 10 minu...

I'm back- and I have things to say. Eight weeks of newborn life will expose every excuse you've ever made, fast. I used to tell myself I was too busy to read, too busy to make moves in my business, too busy to do the things I actually wanted to do. And then I had a baby, got humbled and mom productivity kicked in like WOAH. This episode is a call-out, for me and for you. You have more ti...

We’ll talk about: Why feeling “bulky” early on is common (and temporary) W...

While I’m on maternity leave, I wanted to share something a little different. A few weeks ago, I was interviewed on the Elevate HER podcast and we went deep, not just into health, but into the parts of my story that shaped the work I do today.  From being a hair stylist to becoming an entrepreneur. Navigating divorce. Moving across the country and having everything I owned stolen. Starting over wh...

Peptides are everywhere right now, especially in the supplement world, so lets talk about it!  In this episode, I’m breaking down what peptide supplements actually are, how they differ from injectable peptides used in clinical settings, and why calling powdered supplements “peptides” can be misleading.

Tracking macros isn’t wrong, but it’s also not required to build muscle, lose fat, or improve your metabolism. In this episode, I explain why so many women get stuck relying on numbers, why that approach often backfires over time, and what actually drives long-term results. You’ll learn how muscle is built, why your body resists change when it's only numbers focused and how to shift toward a...

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant with a breech baby, but I'm still trusting my body, my baby, and the process and I felt like this was an important conversation to have.  In this episode, I’m bringing you along as I prep for an unmedicated labor. What I’ve hired out, what I’m doing on my own, and how I’m approaching this whole roller coaster of an experience with intention vs needing to contro...

Fast results sounds tempting — especially when life feels busy, out of control, or urgent. In this episode, I break down why extreme dieting keeps women stuck in the same cycle: losing weight quickly, regaining it, and feeling more frustrated than before. We’ll talk about what rapid weight loss actually does to your metabolism, hormones, energy, and confidence — and why it becomes harder to see re...

When the world feels chaotic, uncertain, or heavy, it’s easy to slip into avoidance. To numb. To disconnect. To slowly abandon yourself. So in this short pep talk, I’m reminding you of something important: you may not be able to control what’s happening around you, but you can control how you show up for yourself. Your health- mentally, physically, emotionally, is not something to put on the back...

We’re breaking down: Why your body reacts so strongly to eating out, travel, or inconsistency What’s really happening i...

In this episode, my husband and I sit down to share the changes we made on our journey to pregnancy after multiple unexplained losses and being told we had less than a 2% chance of success doing it naturally.  We did the testing. We asked the questions. And when no clear answers came back, we knew “unexplained infertility” wasn’t the full picture. We talk openly about: What testing did (and didn’t...

Get ready for a vulnerable episode where I speak from the heart about how 2025 challenged me and stretched me in ways I didn't think were possible. This year asked me to let go of old identities- who I thought I had to be to create impact, stay relevant, and lead. From coaching fat loss while pregnant to stepping back from stages, masterminds, and constant visibility, this season required new...

GLP-1 medications can be life-changing, but the way they're being pushed as marketing instead of a medical tool, is honestly alarming. With the rise of skinny culture, influencer-driven prescriptions, and companies prescribing them to almost anyone who will pay, we’re heading into dangerous territory.  In this episode, I break down the real benefits, the risks, and why the long-term consequen...

You’ve probably heard the phrase “we all have the same 24 hours in a day.” But the truth? We don’t. Our capacity changes with our seasons- motherhood, grief, business growth, joy, burnout.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it really means to take care of your health when life looks different, how I’m preparing to shift from a sea...
