The PCC Podcast

What if the reason you keep falling off isn't because you lack motivation... but because you're trying to change your habits before changing your identity? Most people think lasting change comes from more discipline, more willpower, or the perfect plan. But what if real transformation starts much deeper than that? This week, we're giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one o...

Today's conversation dives into one of the most misunderstood topics in the health and fitness space: the difference between discipline and disordered eating. In a world where weighing your food is labeled "toxic" and every nutrition strategy seems to spark controversy, it's easy to wonder if pursuing your goals automatically means you're developing an unhealthy relationship...

The fear around pregnancy fitness and nutrition isn't keeping you safe. It's just keeping you confused. You're newly pregnant, or trying to be, and suddenly everyone has an opinion. Your doctor says don't lift anything heavy. The internet says don't do this, don't eat that. Your mom says eat for two. Coach Rachel is 25 weeks pregnant and still training, still thriving, and...

What if the missing piece in your fat loss journey isn't your nutrition... it's that you're not training hard enough? If you've been frustrated by constantly lowering your calories, increasing your cardio, and feeling like you're working harder and harder just to maintain your results, you're not alone. Many women are stuck in a cycle of dieting, losing weight, gaining it b...

You're not struggling with fat loss because it's too hard. You're struggling because you're making it harder than it needs to be. In nearly a decade of coaching, I've learned that most women don't need more information. They need fewer distractions, fewer excuses, and fewer things competing for their attention. The reality is that fat loss is often far simpler than we'v...

What if I told you that some of the most popular fitness advice on Instagram is keeping you stuck ? If you've ever felt frustrated because you're following the advice of your favorite fitness influencers but still aren't seeing results, this episode is for you. After coaching over 1,300 women and spending nearly a decade in the health and fitness industry, I've learned that many of...

You tell yourself you’ll finally prioritize your health “when life calms down.” Or you go all in, stay consistent for a while, and eventually burn out because every habit feels like another obligation to manage. And the frustrating part? You KNOW what to do. But somehow it still feels exhausting to maintain. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why fitness starts to feel mentally draining instead o...

If tracking your food makes you feel obsessive, anxious, ashamed, or like you’re constantly “failing,” this episode is going to completely shift the way you look at data, dieting, and your body. Because the truth is: Most women aren’t struggling with tracking itself. They’re struggling with perfectionism, avoidance, and the belief that numbers determine their worth. In this episode, I’m breaking d...

You’re probably not in a fat loss plateau… you’re just missing the right data, strategy, and consistency. Most people panic the second the scale stops moving. They slash calories, add more cardio, and convince themselves their metabolism is “broken” - when in reality, they’ve never actually learned how fat loss works. In this episode, I’m breaking down: What a REAL fat loss plateau actually is, (&...

Ever feel like your hardest seasons end up teaching you the lessons you needed most? As I head into the last year of my 20s, I’m reflecting on 11 lessons from year 28 - what faith taught me about surrender, how small promises rebuild confidence, why hard conversations create growth, what changed my relationship with money, self-worth, fitness, and learning when to stop running on empty. Give it a...

“My nervous system is dysregulated…” but what does that actually mean? Because somewhere along the way, this became a buzzword- and now everything from stress… to scrolling… to emotional eating gets labeled the same. So in this Coach’s Corner, we’re cutting through the noise and breaking it down in a way that actually makes sense. We cover: What nervous system regulation really is (and what it’s n...

Ever had a coach where you “learned a lot”… but didn’t actually get results? You’re not crazy - and it might not be your fault. In this episode, we break down the most common mistakes rookie coaches make (that sound helpful but actually keep you stuck), so you can better understand your past experiences and know what to look for moving forward. We cover: Why information overload can kill your prog...

You’ve always been the one who figures it out on your own… so why does your fitness still feel stuck? Maybe you keep telling yourself, “I just need to be more consistent.” Maybe you start strong, fall off when life gets busy, and then quietly start over - again and again. In this episode, we break down the hidden cycle hyper-independent women get stuck in - why doing it all on your own can actuall...

Ever get off a consult call and think… “that felt off, but I don’t know why?” Maybe you felt pressured. Maybe you left more confused than when you started. Or maybe you’re stuck wondering if it’s just you overthinking… again. In this episode, we’re breaking down what actually happens on coaching consult calls - so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start making confident decisions. We cover...

In this episode of the PCC Podcast, I sit down with our newest assistant coach, Alissa, to pull back the curtain on her journey from a 10-year-old inspired by her mom’s bodybuilding show… to losing 80 pounds, competing herself, and coaching 400+ clients through their own transformations. But this isn’t just a “fitness story.” This is a conversation about: Breaking out of all-or-nothing thinking an...

You might be spending hours in the gym… and still missing the results you want. Because there’s a big difference between working out and actually training. And that difference? It’s often what separates people who stay stuck from people who actually see their body change. In this episode, we break down the real difference between training vs. just exercising, why many women unknowingly leave progr...

In this special bonus episode, I reflect on the 10-year journey of Permanent Change Coaching - from starting this business at 19 with a passion for helping women, to building a coaching approach that goes far beyond macros and workouts. To celebrate this milestone, PCC is launching a 10-Year Anniversary Scholarship, including one full six-month coaching scholarship and additional partial awards fo...

If you keep starting over every Monday… it’s not because you lack motivation, willpower, or consistency. You already know what to do. You’ve followed plans before. But when life gets stressful, busy, or emotionally heavy, everything seems to fall apart. Here’s what most people miss: discipline only works in calm environments - and real life isn’t calm. When stress rises, your brain isn’t choosing...

Maybe you tell yourself, “I just need to be more consistent.” Maybe you keep searching for better plans, better systems, better routines… while quietly feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like life is just passing by. The hard truth? Busyness can feel productive while actually protecting you from slowing down long enough to face what isn’t working. In this episode, we break down the powerful (an...

You know how to track. You’ve done it before. But every time you open the app, it feels like a report card - and if the numbers aren’t perfect, your brain spirals into “I’m failing… I messed up… what’s the point?” So you avoid it altogether… and then feel stuck because nothing is actually changing. Here’s the part no one talks about: tracking isn’t triggering because of the numbers - it’s triggeri...

You’ve lost the weight before…So why didn’t you feel confident when you got there? 👀 This episode is for the woman who’s been stuck in the lose-it / gain-it cycle and keeps chasing confidence through a smaller body - only to realize it never sticks. Because confidence doesn’t come from the scale. It comes from self-trust. In this episode, we break down why shrinking your body alone doesn’t build...

You’re the reliable one. The one everyone counts on. The one who “has it all together.” And yet… you’re tired. Restless. Quietly resentful. Being reliable wasn’t just a personality trait. It was a survival strategy. In this episode, we break down the invisible cost of being the dependable one - how people pleasing, self-abandonment, and nervous system safety quietly shape your food choices, fitnes...

If you keep starting over on Monday… If one missed workout turns into “what’s the point?” If stress hits and suddenly all your good habits disappear - this episode is for you. Because what looks like self-sabotage is usually self-protection . In this episode, I explain the difference between conscious self-sabotage and subconscious nervous system responses - and why willpower, motivation, and “jus...

If weekends feel like the thing sabotaging your progress - it’s not a willpower problem. It’s a structure problem. In this episode, I break down why weekdays work (and weekends don’t), how a lack of structure or overly rigid weeks lead to weekend overeating, and the simple 3-part framework we use with clients to stay aligned without turning weekends into diet prison. If you’re tired of starting ov...

You skipped a workout. You ate past fullness. You said “screw it” and now it feels like starting over from zero. If one slip sends you into a full spiral - this episode is for you. Because the problem isn’t falling off track. It’s how long you stay there. In this episode, I break down why successful people don’t have more discipline - they just bounce back faster. We walk through a simple 24-hour...
