New years resolutions... there's so many opinions and so much noise. People telling you to set them, blasting their on out there, making you feel like you've got to get on the bandwagon and set some high goals.   And then at the same time, many others who are telling you the statistics of how no one sticks to their resolution, everyones doomed to fail...   I'm here to tell you - DO YOU!

Today on the pod we are joined by our incredible Excelerate Athletics client, Nicole La Fleur.   Nicole talks about her weight struggles throughout childhood and early adulthood, and how even when she decided that she wanted to make a change, she continued to struggle with sustaining the results when using other programs. She opens up about how the ways she was fed as a child and the lack of educa...

The holidays are supposed to be the happiest time of the year, but often it's the delicious food, drinks, and time away from our routine that causes us tons of anxiety when these are supposed to be the things bringing us more joy and cheer.   After more than a decade of being the person who wasted the holidays counting the calories of holiday cookies in my head while restricting food all day only...

Did you know that 75% of women have gastrointestinal issues? No wonder the trend #hotgirlshaveIBS took fire.    The gut really is the center of everything health, and a lot of health issues or challenges with even physical goals/body composition goal can stem back to issues in the gut.    Excelerate Athletics coach Marisa Silva is no stranger to this. She went from being on top of the world with h...

At risk of being cliche, I would be remiss if I didn't make today's episode about all the things I'm grateful for in this wonderful life!!  But today I especially wanted to focus on how my gratitudes have changes as I've gotten older. Where earlier in life, they may have come more from a place of worth and how other people view me, they now come from a place of value and love and what brings me pe...

Today we are joined by Nathalie Ascuncion who currently travels the world full-time while working as a remote sales rep.    This is by no means a life she stumbled upon, but instead a life she created by taking some big risks like leaving the safety of corporate America and following her intuition that she was meant for more.   In this episode we deep dive into how Nathalie came to the decision to...

Welcome back to another episode of the FFF series - where my goal is to simplify health and fitness and cut out the bullsh*t so you can actually work towards your goals feeling confident in what you're doing.   Today we're starting at the basics and breaking down macronutrients aka Macros.   If you've heard the term but don't know where to start with them, or are even on your own journey of tracki...

Life can be hard, overwhelming, and full of things we don't want to do but have to. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees, but today we are joined by health & wellness podcaster Kat Macomson who created an incredible mindset reframe to help do just that. Learning how to become the CEO, CMO, CFO, and all the other boss babe titles changed her life and might just change yours too....

Being an athlete can be a weird journey.    It can consume almost your entire life thus far, from some of your earliest memories and the moment you were old enough to kick a ball or swing a bat, to the day you age out of your sport and leave the cleats behind.   You go from it being your identity on a daily basis to it being just gone.   Navigating the post-athlete life can be challenging, from ma...

It's kind of insane that the world expects us to know what we want to do for the rest of our life at 18 years old.    My college transcript had 9 different major changes on it and guess what? I don't use any of them now.    If you feel lost and don't know what your purpose is - this one's for you.    If you like the pod, please share and would love for you to follow along the rest of my content on...

From never touching a vegetable and only eating PB & J's, to eating balls of mozarella because "keto" and thinking that was "healthy", my relationship with food and my body has been ALL over the spectrum.    I went from never thinking about what I was eating to not being able to think about anything else.    I think before we go any further in this podcast, you need to know a little bit more about...
