10K? Is that a real thing? What if you did some data gathering with your new wearable and realize you're only getting 2500K? Do you need to walk 5 miles a day? Who the heck has time for this?! Your sitter just cancelled! Your meeting is running over! Wait I can't stand cardio can I substitute steps? I am hitting all the variables that can interrupt your step game and giving you actionable...

What does your road to your goals look like? Are you just wishful thinking that magically your dream body will appear? That your exercise routine will take off? That self care window will open up and you can dreamily walk through? You need to pave your path, friend. It is the only way that works - and I promise future you will thank you. It isn't that hard - but the consistency is what will ch...

I was swimming in the emerald green water of Lake Tahoe yesterday. What I thought would be a gentle frolic in the water turned out to be a soul searching distance swim that asked me to dig deep, quiet my self doubt & face some of my fears. I never would have tried without my swim coach (a 12 year old junior life guard!) by my side. If you keep standing in your own way & your inner voice is...

Fine fine saboteur - but is it you? Are you the one setting yourself up for failure or success? Are you making choices that barricade the road to your goals or are you building bridges? Why do you keep lying to yourself making excuses that you can't, you don't have time, you don't have support or this isn't easy? Or is someone like this in your life keeping you from reaching your f...

How do I keep my progress once I've reached my goal? I am 'so good' during the week but I lose it on weekends! Date nights and dinner out got me like whoa! I know the booze I have a few nights a week is holding me back...Sound familiar? It should b/c it is you! Yes - these are real life client chats I have had and the struggle is real. In today's episode I break down how to approac...

*Trigger warning* this episode talks about cancer, care giving, generational trauma and german chocolate cake. Listen if you want to learn a bit more about: -how I grew up & how it affected me (from being a great cake baker to being a great coach) -how I firmly believe we have to unlearn past behaviors and negative talk that is handed down -how you can still build a 3 layer cake with square pa...

Did you know I got a D in Cell Biology 110? Did you also know I still went on to graduated with honors from undergrad, get accepted to chiropractic school and graduate with honors as well? Just like thinking one crappy grade may ruin your overall 4 year experience, one week of indulgent vacation isn't going to overturn 51 weeks out of the year. Tune in to today's LWJ love nugget to find ou...

This simple 3 step approach can be critical in flipping the script from "ugh this way of eating is so annoying I don't have time and I'll never make progress" to "I feel in control about what is in front of me, my choices and how I am taking care of myself to inch closer to my goals"! In today's episode I explain what PPP is & how to use it to your advantage. Wh...

Here she goes again - talking about lifting & strength training! I am here to tell you : maybe you don’t need to get smaller / lose fat to get the aesthetic you desire but you maybe need to lift. So many clients want that toned, athletic, healthy, strong “I look like I workout” body but think fat loss is the only way to get there. Here’s a secret: it may be that but more often it is putting in mus...

Have you ever felt like you were in a holding pattern? That you weren't moving forward? And maybe you had negative self talk b/c you aren't moving in the direction you want/need/should be? What if I told you that holding ground and maintaining IS PROGRESS? I learned this concept when I had my coach years ago and my over achieving, A+ student, always be doing the most attitude was shook! Sa...

Can I tell you a secret? I didn't want to believe my fake silicone boobs were making me sick. I buried my head in the sand, and didn't want to open my eyes to the possibility that something I CHOSE TO PUT INTO MY BODY was causing a problem. I was nervous about another surgery, thought people would judge me for getting them/taking them out, and was honestly fearful of all the time it would...

If you have ever started a fat loss journey, you maybe have asked yourself this question: do I start with diet or exercise first? Which will get me the biggest bang for my buck? Move the needle the fastest? Which will give me a quick win? How do I avoid overwhelm and not quit like all the other times? It is a big question I get asked a lot - and today I am revealing my feelings on where to start i...

A ripped from the headlines episode where I felt seen! Does this sound familiar? "I had a great week, then on Saturday pool snack happened, then the seafood pasta at dinner then the soft serve ice cream - ahhh!" Guess what? It is the beginning of summer and especially here in New England we want to enjoy every once this short season has to offer. So how the heck do we balance the weekend...

It's not your fault - you didn't know. Yep - that is a fave statement of mine when I help clients start to understand how macros and portion sizes work. Why? You were never taught! I think this kinda' thing should be taught in school - learning what food have what value and how to build a sound plate from a specific place. That is why I love a food scale in the beginning - it really he...

Just b/c you see me back squat 200 lbs doesn't mean I started there! From wanting my legs to get skinny so I should do dumbbell goblet squats to 'shrink' my inner thigh (ps spot reduction does NOT work) to stepping into bro spaces at globo gyms, bootcamps, CrossFit and now Progressive Overload Training (read: lift heavy shift on repeat) I have seen a lot! This episode is here to help y...

When I revamped my website earlier this year we decided to do away with bikini before/afters - why? They are easy click bate friends. Instead I decided to do video testimonials from clients who have had SUCCESS in many ways outside of just their physical appearance. This past weekend a dear friend sent along an IG reel produced by Dove - about a girl who had suffered an eating disorder which was p...

Legit ripped from the headlines from ME! Recorded in real time - I had to drop this LWJ love nugget episode! Chloe pissed on the floor - and JP yelled for me to come clean it up b/c he was on the phone...but of course I had just stepped out of the shower and was wet, cold and pissssed. Chloe WTF?! Oh and I am behind on work, I can't take her in her normal spot b/c yard work, JP was laughing an...

Have you quit recently bc you were embarrassed or ashamed? . I’ve had 3 clients this week share with these variations on the shame theme: “Thank you for never making me feel judged, crazy, lazy, or stupid” “I am sorry and embarrassed - I feel overwhelmed” “I will not log out bc of shame or embarrassment” Chatting coaching strategies that you can implement today (hello PAGE RAGE!) to start facing s...

I can't stand putting away the dishes - seriously the most annoying house task (besides putting away my clean laundry!). But guess what kids? It has to get done and it is my job b/c JP already loaded and ran the dishwasher #divisionoflabor. So instead of avoiding it hoping he would put it away (hint: that trick didn't work) I decided to Habit Stack it. What does that mean? Well tune in to...

Dropping some love bombs for you today in this episode. It truly is a ripped from the headlines IRL! Sharing with you not only my own personal experience with shopping for suits without my toxic titties but also sharing views from my mama friends who want to wear suits that make them feel confident, sexy and also secured without fear of nip slip. Tune in today if you are facing a fear of impending...

Ever feel like you are behind the 8 ball when you return from a trip away from home? Laundry for days, no groceries in sight, appointments and playdates booked right away, and you are waving to your beach vibes in the rear view? Well today's episode is for you as I am sharing practical, tangible tips and tricks for you to rock your re-entry! These are strategies I share with my coaching client...

I was the Queen of the Land of Food Rules. I was better than you b/c I was ________ (vegetarian! paleo! vegan! juice cleanser! shake drinker!) Well guess what? Food rules suck and it is only a matter of time before you get fed up with all the restriction and want to binge. Been there, done that. The endless cycle was so exhausting. The black or white yes or no I am good or bad mindset had to stop...

This episode is vulnerable AF. I am sharing my personal experience of not only how I quit my calorie deficit aka a cut aka what many call 'a diet' not once but twice in the past 9 months. I haven't shared this publicly until now. Why? Because my inner critic tells me it's humiliating! You announced you were doing one then just faded away? Who can trust you? You know how do to this...

He's not going to change the way he's eating - he is going to change the amount. Why? Because portion control is the name of the game - and in this episode guest host Jonathan Price (my hubs!) explains that the restaurant portion is not his portion. Life is not fun with out bread, steak and french fries! So come listen to how JP is going to focus on losing 10-15 without giving up his favorite food...

Movement is for mental health - we know that. So what the heck do you do when you are sidelined due to surgery? How do you keep your mental game tight and now freak the eff out?! In today's episode I am sharing my exact thought process on how I approached my explant surgery. You see, it is different than an injury. The surgery had a calendar date - it was a known entity. I had time to prepare - an...
