Send us Fan Mail Do you have excuses or do you have legitamate obstacles you need to learn how to navigate? You're not lazy.

Instead, learn how to identify and navigate your obstacles so they don't be...

Send us Fan Mail Here's a hot take for you as we head into the holiday season...That healthy swap recipe you found online is never going to scratch the itch.

Send us Fan Mail So many of us create goals so we have something to go after. However, the goals we set are not always realistic and reasonable so we miss them completely.

In this episode, Megan shares about a goal she rece...

Send us Fan Mail In today's episode I talk about how to navigate your wellness goals when life comes at you fast. It's OK to take a few steps back and adjust your expectations of yourself sometimes. In fact, I would argue that doing this instead of either giving up entirely or trying to "push through" will set you up to get "back on track" quicker in the long run. I a...

Send us Fan Mail We live in an Amazon Prime, instant feedback driven world and the same is true for our health. We might give something a try for a few days or even a few weeks and when we don't see immediate results, we QUIT!

Send us Fan Mail I don't know about you but I have been so wrapped up in anti-diet culture content that I thought if I was offered a plate of pasta I had to eat it.
