The messy middle is the part of your fitness journey where it feels like nothing is happening. You’re putting in the work, staying consistent, making the hard choices, but the results still don’t feel like they’re showing up fast enough. But the messy middle is also where you become the woman who can actually hold the physique you want. You don’t get to skip this part, because the only way through...

In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when you’re doing enough to stay exactly where you are, but not enough to actually change your body. You feel like you’re putting in so much effort, showing up, working hard, and checking the boxes, but your body still isn’t changing the way you want it to. And that is frustrating because it feels like you’re doing everything. But the truth is, som...

In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between generally living a healthy lifestyle and actually following a specific strategy to create physique change. Because if your goal is to build muscle, lose fat, create more definition, grow your glutes or build a lean, athletic body, healthy habits alone are not enough. You need specific nutrition, specific training, and specific lifestyle p...

Today we are talking about my growth phase and how if you are only 50-60% adherent to your plan, expect to maintain. If you want to grow and change your body, you need to be at least 80-90% adherent Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/addisonhardinfit/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@addisonhardin?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc How to work with me: Apply for Embody You👇🏻 addisonhardinfit...

In this episode, we’re talking about why it’s naive to believe that one day motivation will magically show up, you’ll finally take action, and then you’ll never fall off again. The truth is, wanting to “be healthy” is not always deep enough to keep you committed when life gets busy, your feelings change, or the process gets uncomfortable. I’m breaking down why your coach’s job is not to constantly...

In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between the women who keep struggling and the women who actually get results. It’s not that they’re more motivated, more perfect, or have it all figured out. It’s that they think differently, move differently, and are delusional enough to believe their goals are inevitable before they have proof. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/addisonhardin...

In this episode, I’m talking about how I went out of town, ate out five times, and still lost weight. I’ll walk you through what actually made the difference, from the decisions I made before the trip to how I handled restaurants without trying to be perfect. If you’ve ever felt like travel, eating out or being out of your routine automatically means you’re going to gain weight or fall off, this e...

In this episode, we’re talking about why effort alone is not enough to change your body. You need effort, the right amount of effort, and a strategy behind it if you want to lose fat, build muscle, and actually see results. I also break down why doing “more” is not always better, and how taking health advice to the extreme can backfire. Because sometimes the reason you’re stuck isn’t that you’re n...

In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many women jump to advanced solutions before fixing the foundation. And the truth is, if your nutrition is inconsistent, under-fueled, unbalanced, or not supporting your body, those other tools may not give you the results you’re hoping for. We’ll talk about the things nutrition can often improve, why skipping the basics leads to frustration and wasted mon...

In this episode I’m breaking down why “just listen to your body” is not always the empowering advice people think it is. If your body has adapted to under-eating, inconsistency, random workouts, low structure, or years of dieting, it may not actually know how to give you clear signals yet. We’re talking about why structure, discipline, and discernment have to come before intuition. Because listeni...

In this episode, I’m breaking down the mindset around food that actually helps you reach your goals without feeling restricted or controlled by what you eat. I talk through some of the dumb nutrition myths that keep people stuck and make healthy eating feel way more complicated than it needs to be. I also share what my day of eating looks like and how I personally approach food in a way that feels...

In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually makes your body a “fat burning machine” and why eating less and trying to burn off every calorie is keeping so many women stuck. I talk about the two things that help your metabolism work for you, the two things that hold you back, and the mindset shift that has to happen if you want a lean, strong, sculpted body.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.c...

In this episode, we’re having a yap sesh. I’m talking about life lately, what I’ve been feeling, what’s been on my mind, and a few things I’ve been doing in this season.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/addisonhardinfit/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@addisonhardin?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc How to work with me: Apply for Embody You👇🏻 addisonhardinfitness.squarespace.com/embodyy...

In this episode, I’m talking about how I handle vacations, travel, and any season of life that throws me out of routine. I share the four anchors I focus on when I’m out of town, why I don’t try to be perfect, and how I get back into my routine immediately instead of dragging out the reset. We also get into the bigger lesson here: consistency is not about never getting thrown off, it’s about becom...

Somewhere along the way, healthy eating turned into fear, obsession, and food rules that leave people more anxious than nourished. In this episode, I’m breaking down why carbs are not the enemy, how people get stuck scanning every food for what’s “wrong” with it, and why that mindset is making eating feel way harder than it needs to. I’m sharing my simple philosophy around food: focus on mostly wh...

This episode is all about why maintenance is the most underrated place to live if you want real flexibility with your body and your goals. I’m talking about why constantly living in a deficit can leave you stuck, why falling off every time life gets busy keeps you in the same cycle, and how maintenance gives your body the stability it needs to function better. When you’re truly at maintenance, it...

Perfectionism is literally robbing you. By trying to be perfect, you are overlooking other things that are more important than being perfect ever will be. And that is probably the missing gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

We are talking all things protein! Basic I know! But it needs to be talked about. The idea of eating more protein can feel very daunting but I believe that the way I approach it is the least daunting way. So today, I am dumping all of my thoughts out of my brain and giving them to you to hopefully make your life better. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/addisonhardinfit/ Tiktok: https://www.tik...

In this episode, I am updating you on my epiphanies with my personal development journey as well as talking about how your fitness journey should be like a dimmer switch rather than full steam ahead!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/addisonhardinfit/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@addisonhardin?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc How to work with me: Apply for Embody You👇🏻 addisonhardinf...

If you think missing one workout means you've lost all your progress, or that one off day ruins everything - you're stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, and it's killing your results. In this episode, I'm calling out why perfectionists struggle with consistency, what actually happened during my imperfect moving week, and why your response to falling off matters more than the fall...
