Getting an online fitness and nutrition coach is a great way to get affordable support for your health goals but over the past several years, the space has become very saturated and unfortunately, full of lots of coaches who truly don't have the right to call themselves a coach.    There's really no barrier to entry when it comes to being able to call yourself a coach, and no regulation either. Th...

Welcome to my Eras Tour: The Stages of My Fitness Journey.   I hope your biggest takeaways from this episode are accepting that a fitness journey is not linear. There will be high points, and then there will be low points again, and there will be middle grounds and everything in between.   That's truly why it's called a journey - there's no end point and you will continue to evolve and change.   ...

Be honest - you skip your warm-ups all the time before you work out. OR maybe you're one step better than the rest of us and you DO actually warm-up… with walking on the treadmill and random stretches.    It's an easy thing for us to skip, think we don't have time for, or at best… do unpurposefully. But warming-up can be a huge difference maker for not injuring ourselves AND actually making gains....

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! And I'm the ripe ol' age of 28 ;) And trust me… there's a lot of ways I thought my life would look by the age of 28 and well… it doesn't really look like ANY of them.    And I think we can probably all relate to that.

The dating culture these days is not for the faint of heart let me tell ya… except I probably don't have to, because you're probably right there with me.   But I do believe staying positive, continuing to show up, learn from your experiences, and just living your best life is the best thing to do - keep doing life and don't lose hope.    In today's podcast episode… I'm really just getting honest A...
