193 - Redefining Maintenance 09.11.2025

When you hear the word “maintenance,” you probably think of holding steady at your current weight or fitness level. But that’s not how I see it. In this episode, I’m redefining what maintenance really means, and it’s not about staying the same. It’s about maintaining the habits that keep you feeling strong, healthy, and confident. The goal isn’t to avoid backsliding; it’s to protect your progress...

192 - The Moment It All Clicked Into Place 08.11.2025

Ever have that moment where something just clicks ? That happened recently with one of my clients, and it perfectly sums up how real, lasting change works. In this episode, I’m breaking down why I always start coaching with movement first, then build into nutrition, and finally tackle mindset. It’s the same approach I use across all my programs, 1:1 coaching, Fitter Faster, and Fit By Bit, because...

191 - A Psychological Process Disguised as a Physical One 07.11.2025

Getting in shape is a psychological process disguised as a physical one. We think the goal is the 20 pounds, the smaller jeans, or the better bloodwork. But the real transformation happens between your ears. This episode is all about the mindset shifts that come with changing your lifestyle: how you see food, movement, rest, and even yourself. The work you’re doing on your body is just the surface...

190 - Keep Your Habits, Keep Your Sanity 06.11.2025

The holidays are here, which means the parties, the chaos, and the cookie trays are officially in full swing. This episode is your reminder to keep your healthy habits going, not perfectly, just consistently. Because your body doesn’t know it’s “the holidays.” It only knows how you treat it. We’ll talk about why staying consistent with movement, real food, water, and sleep helps you actually enjoy...

189 - "Must Be Nice" 05.11.2025

“Must be nice.” You’ve probably heard it. Maybe from a coworker or friend who notices you’re looking stronger, more confident, or down a few pounds. They say it like you just got lucky, but you didn’t. You made the choice to change, to show up, and to do the work. In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really behind that comment, how to handle it, and why you don’t need to shrink your success t...

188 - Stop Wearing Exhaustion Like a Badge 04.11.2025

You’re not too busy to sleep eight hours. You’re just scared to rest because you’ve been taught that productivity matters more than recovery. In this episode, I’m breaking down the myth that you need to be exhausted to be successful. We’ll talk about how rest actually helps you get stronger, think clearer, and feel better; and why “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” is a terrible life motto. Put the phone...

187 - Okay to Suck, Not Okay to Skip 03.11.2025

Perfection isn’t required to make progress. You just have to stop skipping. In this episode, I’m talking about one of my favorite mindset shifts: “It’s okay to suck, it’s not okay to skip.” Because skipping once makes it easier to skip again, and before you know it, you’ve lost your rhythm completely. Whether it’s movement, nutrition, reading, or any other habit you’re building, showing up badly s...

186 - You Don’t Control the Scale, You Control What You Do 02.11.2025

You can’t “do” weight loss. It’s not an action. It’s a result of your daily behaviors. In this episode, I’m sharing why it took me eight years to lose twenty-five pounds and why I’m not mad about it. I didn’t punish myself with workouts or swear off cheesecake. Instead, I focused on small, consistent habits that added up over time. This is your reminder to stop blaming your body and start focusing...

185 - Less Work, More Consistency 01.11.2025

Most people think getting healthy means working harder. The truth? It’s about doing less but doing it more often. In this episode, I’ll walk you through what really matters when it comes to getting in shape and why consistency always beats intensity.

184 - How Long Did It Take You to Get Here? 31.10.2025

How long did it take you to get where you are right now? The extra 20 or 30 pounds, the low energy, the habits that don’t serve you anymore... they didn’t show up overnight. So why do we expect to undo years of living a certain way in a 30-day challenge or 10-day cleanse? In today’s episode, I’m reminding you that getting healthy is a slow process, but that’s what makes it sustainable. When you st...

183 - Why Your Confidence Sucks (and How to Fix It) 30.10.2025

If your confidence has been in the gutter lately, this one’s for you. I’m breaking down why your self-trust (and therefore your confidence) has taken a hit. Spoiler: it’s not bad luck. It’s because you’ve been making promises to yourself and not following through. But the good news? You can rebuild that trust starting today. One small action, one tiny win at a time. Hit play and let’s talk about h...

182 - Stop Saying “I Should” 29.10.2025

How many times have you said, “I should go to the gym,” or “I should eat better,” or “I should drink more water”? We all do it, but “should” is guilt in disguise. It makes healthy habits feel like punishment instead of choice. In this episode, I’m helping you flip that script. When you change “I should” to “I want,” you move from pressure to purpose. You start making choices because you value your...

181 - You Don’t Need a Second Opinion 28.10.2025

You don’t need a second opinion, you need to look in the mirror. I saw that online recently, and it hit hard. We love to believe a new doctor, new job, or new relationship will fix everything. But if your habits, boundaries, and choices stay the same, so will the results. In this episode, I talk about how taking ownership of your actions can completely change the game. The grass isn’t always green...

180 - The "Magic Pill" Irony 27.10.2025

We all know women who say they want the magic pill, the one thing that will finally help them lose weight, have more energy, and feel confident again. But when they see someone actually doing the work, they roll their eyes and say things like, “I could never do that,” or “just live a little.” In this episode, I talk about the irony of that mindset, why some people try to drag others down, and how...

179 - How $14 Billion in Food Marketing Tricks You (& Me) Every Year 26.10.2025

Food marketing is everywhere, and it’s more powerful than we think. From “heart healthy” Cocoa Puffs to Lucky Charms ranked higher than ground beef, the system is designed to confuse us. In this episode, I share why it’s so hard to know what’s healthy, how $14 billion a year is spent to sway your choices, and what you can do to see through the hype. Resources: ⁠Running with Bacon Health Coaching⁠...

178 - Fruit Doesn’t Make You Fat 25.10.2025

Fruit doesn’t make you fat. Period. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. In this episode, I share why fruit is one of the best things you can add to your diet, how it helps fill the fiber gap most women struggle with, and why it’s the sweetest way to hit your goals without guilt.

177 - You Can Eat What You Want 24.10.2025

You’ve probably heard the advice, “You can eat whatever you want.” And it’s true: no food is off limits. But if you have specific goals, the amount you eat matters. In this episode, I talk about how to enjoy your favorite foods without sabotaging progress, and why portion awareness is the real key to making this sustainable.

176 - Wear Shorts, Even with "Fat Knees" 23.10.2025

I was talking to a woman about my coaching programs, and she asked me if I could help her get rid of her “fat knees.” She said she doesn’t even wear shorts because of them. In this episode, I share why it’s time to stop letting body hang-ups control what you wear or how you live. Confidence isn’t about erasing flaws, it’s about showing up anyway. Resources: ⁠Running with Bacon Health Coaching⁠ Con...

175 - Simple Meals Get Results 22.10.2025

Not every meal has to be fancy or Instagram-worthy. Sometimes the simplest foods are the ones that actually help you stay consistent. In this episode, I share why “boring” food works, how it can make your life easier, and why you don’t need complicated meals to hit your goals.

174 - You Don’t Need Endless Workout Variety 21.10.2025

We’ve been sold the idea that workouts need to be exciting, different, and entertaining every single time. But the truth is, boring works. In this episode, I’ll share why sticking with the basics beats chasing “cardio confusion” or the latest trendy workout. If you want strength and definition, repetition and consistency will get you there. Resources: ⁠Running with Bacon Health Coaching⁠ Connect o...

173 - Workouts Aren't a Free Pass to Eat Junk 20.10.2025

Ever told yourself, “I worked out today, so I can eat this”? I’ve been there too. For years, I used exercise as a hall pass to eat whatever I wanted, and it left me spinning my wheels. In this episode, I’ll share how to flip that mindset so food isn’t a “reward” for workouts but a way to support them. If you’ve been stuck in the earn-and-burn cycle, this is your reminder that the real reward for t...

172 - Why Self-Trust Starts With Self-Forgiveness 19.10.2025

We’re so much harder on ourselves than we’d ever be on anyone else. We think beating ourselves up will push us forward, but really it just keeps us stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing why forgiveness is the first step to building self-trust. Once you let go of the guilt and start keeping tiny promises to yourself, you’ll finally feel confident showing up again. Resources: ⁠Running with Bacon Healt...

171 - Fitfluencers Are Not Real Life 18.10.2025

Fitfluencers are everywhere, showing their picture-perfect meals and intense workouts. But here’s the truth: you’re seeing one meal, one workout, one polished moment. Social media is never the full story. In this episode, I share why it’s so important to keep perspective and stop comparing your real, messy life to someone else’s highlight reel. Resources: ⁠Running with Bacon Health Coaching⁠ Conne...

170 - When “More” Isn’t Really More 17.10.2025

In today’s episode, I talk about our “more is more” culture and how it sneaks into the way we eat and drink. From yogurt bowls that are really just granola bowls to the “what’s the point of one glass of wine” mindset, we often think more is better when it actually leaves us feeling worse. I share why learning to be satisfied with “enough” is the key to rebuilding trust in yourself and your habits....

169 - When Did We Stop Trusting Ourselves? 16.10.2025

When did we stop believing in ourselves? In this episode, I share how marketing and outside voices have made so many women doubt their own strength and intuition. I tell the story of a client who once thought a 100-mile month challenge was completely out of reach for her, but now she is doing it with ease. This is your reminder that you are stronger than you think, and that confidence grows when y...
