Goals, Grit, and Some Woo Woo Sh*t

Send us Fan Mail Ok, so you know how most people think of mall walking as the thing your grandma does in her pastel tracksuit, swinging her arms while passing Sears for the 18th time? Well, my guest today, Krista Katwood, has taken that concept, cranked it to 11, and turned it into a full-on community movement that’s now making headlines everywhere from People Magazine to The Kelly Clarkson Show....

Send us Fan Mail Alright, real talk: almost every single question I got from you guys when I said Dr. Cheryl Fraser was coming back on the pod boiled down to one thing. Sex drive in midlife. More specifically: where the hell did it go? So, if you’ve ever felt like your libido ghosted you around perimenopause or menopause, this episode is your permission slip to stop feeling broken. Cheryl is an aw...

Send us Fan Mail Look, I know what it’s like when life feels like a dumpster fire. You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, maybe grieving, maybe just fed the eff up with everything. And then someone’s like, “Wanna talk about your habits ?” 🙄 But before you roll your eyes into another dimension, hear me out. Emmy Smaz invited me onto her podcast, Beyond the Pain , to talk about what really creates change,...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is such a banger that I had to bring it back. When I first aired this conversation with Rachel Rodgers, author of We Should All Be Millionaires and Future Millionaire, you guys blew up my inbox with DMs and comments. Clearly, it hit a nerve. So if you missed it the first time (Ep 93) or just want to get re-inspired, here’s your chance to soak it all in again. Rachel i...

Send us Fan Mail Okay, so you’ve probably heard the story: a New York mom lets her 9-year-old ride the subway alone… and the entire world loses its mind. That mom is my guest today, Lenore Skenazy, and she’s been lovingly (and infamously) dubbed “The World’s Worst Mom.” Spoiler: she’s actually one of the bravest, funniest, and most sensible voices in parenting today. Lenore’s simple act of trustin...

Send us Fan Mail Alright, friends, let’s talk straight: if you’re over 40 and still slogging through random workouts, obsessing over fad diets, or clinging to those cute little 5lb dumbbells… we need to have a heart-to-heart. This episode is the replay of a live presentation I gave to over 2,600 women (yeah, the Zoom room actually maxed out, wild). And I didn’t hold back. Because here’s the truth:...

Send us Fan Mail You know those fitness clichés that just won’t die? Like “muscle confusion keeps your body guessing” or “lifting weights makes women bulky”? Yeah, we’re coming for them. This is part two of my chat with Dr. Allan Bacon, strength coach, medical pro, and professional BS buster. (If you missed part one, go back. It’s chef’s kiss myth-busting gold about metabolism, influencers quoting...

Send us Fan Mail You know that phrase that’s everywhere right now, “Women are not small men”? Well… it’s true. And also? It’s become the perfect little hook for some people to sell you complete and utter BS. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Allan Bacon, yes, the guy who trains Arnold Classic competitors, publishes in scientific journals, and also works with regular humans who just want to get...

Send us Fan Mail Alright friends, this one’s a juicy flex of an episode. If you've ever thought about strength training as just “working out,” you’re gonna leave this convo seeing your muscles as the badass miracle tissue they actually are. My guest today is journalist and author Bonnie Tsui, who wrote a brilliant book all about muscle. Like, the science and the soul of it. We dig into why wo...

Send us Fan Mail Let me ask you something. Ever opened your front door to a mini mountain of Amazon boxes and felt a twinge of shame? Like maybe you’re buying crap you don’t even need just to numb out after a long day? (Same, babe. Same.) This week, I sat down with Ashlee Piper. Sustainability badass. TED speaker. Author of No New Things . And we’re talking about why you might wanna stop clicking...

Send us Fan Mail Okay so… you know how you sometimes hear someone drop a sentence like, “Oh, I can’t make it that week; I’ll be racing horses across Mongolia,” and you’re like WAIT WHAT NOW? That’s basically been me for years every time my friend Callie King casually mentions her life. So in this episode, I finally scratch that itch and go full nosy bitch mode. Because Callie is one of those peopl...

Send us Fan Mail Okay, let’s talk about the thing that is straight-up hijacking our homes right now: screens. If you’ve ever shouted, “Get off your phone!” at your kid while... checking your own email for the 50th time that hour? Yep, same. That’s why I brought on the brilliant, passionate, and hilariously relatable Emily Cherkin, also known as The Screen Time Consultant. Emily is a former middle...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is for every single one of you who’s ever said, “Ugh, I know what I should be doing but… life.” You sent me your juiciest, trickiest, and most “what do I do when everything goes to hell” questions… and I’m answering them all in this final installment of the Healthy As F*ck book club series. We get into shift work, inconsistent schedules, the real deal on weight loss d...

Send us Fan Mail Okay, real talk…have you ever had that "screw it, I messed up so I might as well quit" moment with your fitness goals? Yeah, me too. And so has Jordan Syatt, my guest on today’s episode of Goals, Grit & Some Woo Woo Shit. Jordan’s one of the realest, no-BS voices in the fitness world—he’s trained Gary Vee, competed as a powerlifter, and is currently parenting two tod...

Send us Fan Mail Listen. If you think this episode is just for parents of teenagers, I need you to hold up. Because what Shannon Simmons and I dig into here isn’t just about managing your kid’s allowance—it’s about navigating a totally different financial universe than the one we grew up in. I invited Shannon back on the pod because her last episode was a fan fave, and now she’s got a new book tha...

Send us Fan Mail Okay, my friend, buckle up because today’s episode is all about what happens AFTER you decide you want to get healthy AF... But before you quietly disappear off the face of the Earth and land back in your old habits for the 327th time. Yes, it’s that dreaded middle ground—the hardest part!—when motivation tanks, life starts “life-ing,” and the wine is seriously CALLING your name....

Send us Fan Mail Metabolism “broken”? Cortisol through the roof? Syncing your workouts with your menstrual cycle like it’s a lunar ritual? Let’s unpack the madness. Welcome to the 2025 Fitness Complex—where the marketing is louder than the science and your confusion is the business model.

Send us Fan Mail Okay, so you know that moment when you kinda want to believe in manifesting but also don’t want to be that person taping crystals to their debit card? SAME. Which is exactly why this convo with Denise Duffield-Thomas was so damn refreshing. Denise is a money mindset coach who’s all about helping people (especially women!) feel good about receiving, spending, and growing their weal...

Send us Fan Mail I saved the best for last—live Q&A from my Health as F*ck book club and all questions lead to this: How the HELL do I actually get skinny? Meal prep doesn’t have to be a chore and the food isn't icky. I use Sundays—my rest day—to throw on a rom-com, chop some veggies, portion things out, and call it good. It’s low effort and keeps the rest of the week easy (4-day-old vegg...

Send us Fan Mail You ever get that nagging voice saying, This isn’t it ? That “oh crap” moment where you realize you’ve been climbing the wrong mountain? That’s exactly what happened to my guest today, Henry Oliver—former policy wonk turned style blogger and unapologetic vibe curator. Yep, Henry ditched the government life to dive headfirst into what actually lit him up: writing, personal style, a...

Send us Fan Mail Timing is everything—and I’m offering this special episode replay just in time to access Stu McLaren’s free course. Ever heard of reverse tithing? Traditional tithing means giving away 10% of your income. But what if you made so much, you could flip that—keep 10% and give away 90%? That’s the wild idea my friend and business coach Stu McLaren explores. He believes success should f...
