The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast

When you’re first starting on your health and fitness journey, you may be excited about meal prepping, planning out your food and workouts, and all of the things. While that’s not a bad thing at all, you sometimes forget to plan around everything else that’s already going on in your life too. Sound familiar?  You absolutely can commit to your health and fitness journey, and still have that fit sea...

It’s frustrating when you feel like you’re putting in the work when it comes to your fitness, but you’re just not seeing the results you were hoping for (or you thought would have happened by now). This used to be me, and what changed the game for me was progressive overload. Whether this is something you’re very familiar with or not, I want to dive into it more today and help you understand why t...

Life can be crazy, and busy, and some seasons are just tougher than others. I know I’ve been feeling like this recently, and I bet you have at some time or another too. While life can knock us down and we can get off track with our health and fitness goals, we don’t have to stay there. I’ve learned what works when it comes to staying consistent (not perfect) with my fitness journey over the years,...

It seems like we look at those who are fitness professionals and share their lives with everyone online regularly, and we think they don’t have any struggles, or that everything just comes easy for them. I know I’ve done that with people I follow, but the truth is, we ALL have our struggles, and we’re not really seeing the ‘whole’ picture on social media. It’s been 13.5 years since I first started...

Something I hear super often from the ladies I work with is that they’re wanting to tone and shape their bodies. They’re used to doing cardio, and they think cardio is what they need to do to reach their goals, but that’s just not the case. Weight training is absolutely essential if you’re wanting to change your body, and your health, and I’ve experienced this firsthand on my own journey over the...

We’ve gotten SO accustomed to hearing the word ‘diet’ in our culture today-everyone is always talking about some kind of diet, and someone you know (maybe that’s you) is constantly dieting. When you hear the term ‘reverse dieting’, you may feel a little scared, and think “how the heck can that even work”?! I’m really excited to dive into this topic that you may have heard of, but may not be super...

Have you ever been doing “all the right things”, like working out more, counting your macros, drinking more water, etc., but you’re still not seeing the results that you wanted? You probably think you’re doing something wrong, because obviously, you’re not getting results you hoped for!  It just feels easier to quit altogether..right? I know it can be super frustrating-I’ve been there, and I see t...

When you hear the words ‘intuitive eating’, you may be thinking “is that something I should be doing” or “what does that even mean”? This is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot in the health and fitness space (especially over the last few years). Maybe you’ve considered trying it, but you aren’t exactly sure how it would fit with your journey, and if it would be beneficial. I’m excited to dig m...

When it comes to getting healthy, I know you want to look and feel better, and make a lifestyle change-I hear this from my clients all of the time, which is amazing! Unfortunately, the majority of the ladies I talk with tend to have unrealistic body standards for themselves-especially when it comes to the timeframe it takes to achieve their goals. So often, we’re unable to accept our bodies and ma...

Have you ever thought you wish you could be more motivated when it comes to your health and fitness? I get asked all of the time about motivation, and how I stay so motivated, what motivates me, etc. The last thing I want you to think is that I’m always motivated, because I’m definitely not! I know it can “look” like someone is always motivated when you see them on social media (I used to think th...

We’re officially into the summer season, and this is by far my favorite time of year! While I love this time of year, I know how easy it is to feel overwhelmed when it comes to the summer parties, vacations, holidays, etc. too. I don’t want you to feel stressed and like you can’t enjoy all of the fun summer things, just because you think your progress will be ruined (or like you can’t continue mak...

Summertime is my absolute favorite time of year! This is when everyone is hanging out with family and friends, going to barbecues, pool parties, and all of the fun summer activities. I also know how stressful it can be, because food is everywhere-I used to feel this way, back when I was dieting all of the time. I’ve been getting a lot of questions from new clients who are struggling with their nut...

Have you ever started a new workout program or a 30 day challenge, and you were only thinking about the results you would get during that time? You probably weren’t considering what would happen after you stopped that particular program or challenge, because you were stuck in that ‘quick fix’ mindset. This used to be me, and I stayed in that ugly cycle for years! Fortunately, I’ve been able to cha...

I recently celebrated my 41st birthday, and I feel like I learned SO much in my 40th year! I’m excited to share with you some of my biggest ‘aha’ moments I had over the last year, especially since they’re all connected to my health and fitness journey too. In today’s episode, I’m talking about 7 important things I learned in my 40th year. I’ll be sharing takeaways like how my mindset has drastical...

If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent in your health and fitness journey, chances are, you’ve been in that ‘all or nothing’ mentality at some time or another. I know I used to, and the majority of the ladies I work with at the beginning of their journey have as well. In order to get healthier, you’ve probably thought you have to focus on your fitness and nutrition at the same time, and...

When you think about wanting to lose weight, get stronger, and become healthier overall, what’s the first thing you think you need to do in order to do that? I’m betting it’s cutting calories, which also means cutting out carbs, sweets, and all of your favorite foods. While that’s what we’re taught and are constantly hearing from the health and fitness industry, that’s actually the LAST thing we s...

Are you struggling to see the results you want from the work you’re putting in with your health and fitness? When you think about losing weight or getting fit, I bet you think you need to work out more, cut calories, restrict your favorite foods, etc., but honestly, that’s not how it works. In all reality, you need to make sure the actions you’re taking are matching the goals you want to achieve. ...

Have you ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to supplements, and everything that’s out there? I often get asked my thoughts about them, what I take, what I suggest, etc., so I’m excited to dive into all things supplements for this episode! I know there is a LOT to choose from, and also a lot of misinformation, which makes it even more difficult to figure out what you actually need, and how to get...

One of my favorite topics to discuss and educate my clients on are macros, and that’s exactly what I’m diving into for this episode! If you’ve ever been curious about what macronutrients are (most commonly referred to as macros), how they work, if this is something you can do long-term, etc., then you won’t want to miss this information. In today’s episode, I’m sharing 3 reasons/benefits to tracki...

Have you been struggling with your health and fitness goals? Maybe you’re wanting to tone up, get stronger, and lose some weight, but..it's just not happening. Frustrating, right?! Chances are, some of the things you’re doing may be holding you back from the results you’re looking for. In today’s episode, I’m diving into 6 fitness habits that are holding you back from achieving your body goal...

Do you sometimes feel like you’re just “winging it” when it comes to your health and fitness journey? You start asking your mom, sister, best friend, etc. what kind of workouts they’re doing, and what meal plan they’re following. You also start looking on Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest for new workouts to try that your favorite influencer is doing, even though they’re super random.  Unfortunate...
