118. Why Trying to “Find Time” Is Keeping You Stuck

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 07:50:00 -0500

Have you ever told yourself, I’ll take care of my health when life calms down? And yet somehow… it never does. If you’re living in survival mode and wondering where you fit into your own life, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m sharing the season of my life when I truly believed there was no room left for me. What finally changed everything wasn’t better time management or more discipline. It was understanding why “finding time” was never the answer in the first place.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect season to start taking care of yourself, this conversation is for you.

117. The Easy-to-Fix Mistake That Quietly Destroys New Year’s Goals

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 11:00:00 -0500

Every year around this time, so many of us feel that familiar mix of hope and determination. We tell ourselves that this is going to be the year we finally feel healthier, more energized, more consistent. I used to feel that same spark — and yet, despite all my excitement, I would somehow find myself slipping right back into old patterns by February, wondering what went wrong again.

It took me years to notice there was one small, easily overlooked mistake I was making — a mistake that quietly undercut all my best intentions before the year even began. And once I finally saw it, everything about my journey shifted. Not because I suddenly had more motivation or willpower, but because the way I approached my goals started to feel calmer, steadier, and actually doable.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind that realization, why so many of us fall into the same trap, and what can happen when you catch it early. My hope is that these next few minutes give you relief, clarity, and the gentle encouragement you need as you start thinking about your own goals for the year ahead. You may be closer to real change than you think.

116. How To Enjoy Holiday Food and Still Feel in Control

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0500

There’s something about the holidays that can stir up a quiet kind of pressure, especially when food is involved. You want to enjoy the moments, the conversations, the traditions…but there’s that familiar worry creeping in. What if I lose control? What if I undo all the progress I’ve worked so hard for? I know how easy it is to walk into November already feeling tense, already planning rules and strategies just to “survive” Thanksgiving dinner.

But what if this year looked different? What if instead of trying to earn your food or avoid the things you love, you chose to show up already nourished, already steady, already connected to how you want to feel? In this episode, we talk about the shift that changes everything—the moment you stop fighting your way through the holidays and start honoring your body, your energy, and the woman you’re becoming. It’s a gentler approach, a kinder one, and it frees you to actually be present with the people you love.

If you’re ready to step into this season with confidence and peace, this conversation will meet you right where you are. You really can enjoy the holiday foods you love and still feel completely in control.

You’ll hear how one small act opened the door to peace, and how learning to ask why I was eating instead of what changed everything. If you’ve ever felt out of control around food, this episode will change your perspective on what’s driving it.

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 15:30:00 -0500

There’s one question I hear from women more than any other — and I’ll be honest, it’s the very thing keeping them stuck. It sounds harmless, even logical, but it creates pressure, second-guessing, and a constant chase for the ‘perfect’ plan.

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 14:30:00 -0500

But what I’ve learned since has completely changed the way I view consistency and success in my health journey. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking how the all-or-nothing mindset holds us back, why everyday movement matters more than we think, and how listening to your body can be the most powerful strategy of all. If you’ve ever felt like you “fell off” just because life shifted your plans, this one’s for you. xx Faith

106. Why Your Husband’s Health Advice Isn’t Helping (Even if He Means Well)

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 18:00:00 -0500

I’ll be the first to say it—my husband is amazing. But there’s nothing more frustrating than hearing, “Just eat better and move more,” when you’ve already tried all of that. For years, I wondered why it felt so much harder for me than it did for him. Why he could cut back on sweets and see results instantly, while I was juggling hormones, emotions, a full calendar, and still feeling like I was doing something wrong. In this episode, I’m breaking down why “simple” advice doesn’t work for women—and why it’s not your fault.

Fri, 16 May 2025 09:00:00 -0500

For years, I believed satisfaction was the enemy of progress. Diet culture had me convinced that if food tasted too good, I must be doing something wrong.

95. The Mindset Shift That Makes Exercise Feel Effortless

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:00:00 -0500

Most women say exercise is important, but few actually prioritize it. Why?

Because for so long, we’ve been taught that exercise is just a tool for weight loss, a way to “earn” food, or a punishment for indulging. When movement is tied to dieting, it starts to feel like a chore instead of something that genuinely makes us feel better.

But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong? What if movement isn’t about shrinking your body but about expanding your life—boosting energy, improving sleep, lowering stress, and helping you feel your absolute best?

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down why so many women struggle with consistency, the biggest myths about exercise (like why sweating doesn’t mean you’re burning more calories), and how a simple mindset shift can make movement feel effortless.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at exercise because you don’t love the gym, can’t commit to long workouts, or don’t see immediate results on the scale, this episode is for you. It’s time to redefine movement and make it work for your life.

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 10:00:00 -0500

Your worth has never been measured in pounds, so why let the scale define your success?

For too long, we’ve been told that our health, happiness, and even self-worth are tied to a number on the scale. But what if that number holds you back instead of moving you forward?

In this episode, I challenge the weight-focused mindset and explain why ditching the scale could be the most freeing step in your journey. We’ll explore the real indicators of progress, how to break the cycle of scale obsession, and why true confidence has nothing to do with weight.

If you’re ready to redefine success on your own terms, this episode is for you.

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 10:00:00 -0500

What if your struggle with food and fitness isn’t about willpower but about the way you’ve been taught to approach them?

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 10:00:00 -0500

Do you struggle with motivation or consistency? In this episode, you’ll learn how accountability can transform your fitness journey—and your life! Accountability works because it combines commitment with connection. Knowing that someone else is invested in your progress can be a powerful motivator. It’s also backed by psychology: when we feel observed or supported, we’re more likely to stick to our commitments. Whether you need a cheerleader to celebrate your wins or a coach to guide you through challenges, finding the right form of accountability can unlock the momentum you’ve been searching for and help you create lasting, meaningful change.

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 12:30:00 -0500

We’ve all been told that carbs are the enemy of weight loss, but is that really the truth? In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about carbs — from how they fuel your body to why eliminating them might be doing you more harm than good.

Do you go out of your way to please others but feel like you've been forgotten? It's easy to put everyone else's priorities in front of your own, but this will lead to a life of unhappiness and regret.

43. Your Scale is Lying to You

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 10:00:00 -0500

You’ve started your weight-loss journey, and you’re doing all the right things - exercising, eating well-balanced meals, and getting more sleep. You’re excited to finally see the fruits of your labor, so you step on the scale, but... something's wrong. The scale went up!! How could this be?! You’ve worked so hard and for nothing! Or… is there more to the story?

In this episode, I’m covering the all-too-common scenario in which the scale doesn’t reflect your efforts. In reality, the scale isn’t painting a holistic picture of what’s happening with your body. Some amazing transformations are happening behind the scenes while you make positive changes for your health.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling discouraged by what their scale is telling them. I address concerns many have about weight fluctuations despite adopting healthier habits and how to measure progress beyond the scale.

Key Points:

"Why Haven’t I Lost Weight?"
The Scale's Deception: The scale measures only your gravitational pull on Earth, not your overall health or fitness progress.
Muscle Gain vs. Weight Loss: Knowing the difference and understanding that the scale can’t decipher that.

The photo of myself that I referenced in the show can be found here.

Why the Scale fluctuates
Health Beyond Weight: Learning to focus on factors like better sleep, more energy, and body composition changes.
Diet and Exercise Myths: Debunking common misconceptions about cutting calories as our first line of defense against the scale.

41. What I Remember When I want to Quit

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 10:00:00 -0500

If you haven't already experienced this, it will happen. At some point in your fitness journey, you'll feel like quitting. You’ll likely find yourself ‘too busy’ to work out, ‘too tired’ to avoid the drive-through, or ‘too weak’ to avoid the cravings.

So, what should you do?

Remember the real reason you started - your 'why'. This could be a desire for confidence, more energy, or the wish to enjoy longevity with your children. However, there's one key ingredient: it MUST be powerful. It needs to be a feeling deep in your core, something that drives you to make a change even when motivation fades.

In this episode, I share my secret to long-term success in my fitness journey, hoping to inspire you to do the same. After listening, I challenge you to take some time for yourself to really think about your 'why'. Write it down and keep referring back to it whenever you feel like giving up.

39. Alcohol and Weight Loss, Do They Mix?

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we’re answering the question: can I still drink AND lose weight? The easy answer is yes, but there’s more to consider before deciding if you should keep it in your diet while on a weight loss journey. I’m sharing all of the ways alcohol can potentially hinder your fitness journey, and how you can consume it responsibly and still reach your goals.

Key takeaways from this podcast:

Internal Confidence: Focus on building internal confidence by recognizing achievements in various aspects of your life rather than relying on external factors like alcohol.
Holiday Season & Drinking: As you navigate the holiday season, evaluate how you can enjoy social events while aligning your drinking choices with your fitness goals.
Nutritional Impact of Alcohol: Be mindful of the nutritional impact of alcohol, considering its high empty calories, and make conscious choices about when and how you consume it.
Alcohol and Macros: If you're tracking macros, ensure you account for the calories in alcoholic drinks and allocate them wisely within your nutritional goals.
Moderation vs. Elimination: Instead of eliminating alcohol, strive for moderation, aligning your drinking habits with your individual goals and preferences.
Mindful Drinking: Practice mindful drinking by being present, pacing yourself, and making intentional choices to avoid overindulgence.
Emotional Components: If you recognize that you use alcohol as a coping mechanism for stress or social anxiety, explore healthier alternatives such as journaling, working out, or meditation.
Impact on Metabolism: Understand how alcohol affects metabolism, considering the concept of "fat sparing" and being mindful of its impact on insulin, cortisol levels, and cholesterol production.
Exercise and Sleep: Acknowledge the effects of alcohol on exercise performance, recovery, and sleep. Stay hydrated and plan your drinking around your fitness goals.
Moderation for Fitness Goals: In achieving fitness goals, balance your approach, recognizing that while complete elimination may expedite certain outcomes, moderate and mindful drinking can still be incorporated without compromising your overall well-being.

Deciding if drinking fits in your lifestyle and your goals will always be a personal choice. While you don’t have to cut it out completely, it’s important to understand the role it will play on your journey. No matter what your choice is, I always encourage you to drink responsibly and seek help if you find yourself dependent on alcohol.

13. Unexpected Lessons Learned

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 10:00:00 -0500

As you reflect on your fitness journey, maybe you’re thinking you should be further along by now? Or, perhaps, you’ve started to develop an unhealthy relationship with food or exercise. Wherever you’re at on your journey, I want to share some unexpected lessons I learned during mine in hopes that you’re able to gain a new perspective for yours. We often start our fitness journey to reach a desired physique, but once we start to change ourselves from within, we get to fully embrace this new lifestyle. If you haven’t learned these lessons yet, it’s only a matter of time! Stay patient, stay consistent, you’ve got this beautiful!

What I cover:

Not everyone will support you or understand your journey, and that’s okay!
Fail, and fail often.
My body image was attached to my past trauma.
Capability over appearance is the true indicator of lifelong progress.
Motivation over discipline, or you’ll never stick with it.
Teamwork makes the dream work! Find your people.
Learn to forgive your past for the way you treated yourself.
Consistency over perfection. An all-or-nothing mentality will be your downfall if you don’t address it.
