Double digits! In this milestone 10th episode, I share a raw and real update on how the past week challenged me from battling low energy and mood dips, to rethinking my training and nutrition strategy after seeing the scale go up.

I dive into a big lifestyle shift I made by selling my gaming PC to remove distractions and focus on what really matters. Plus, I touch on my growing interest in peptides and wellness tools, give a quick candle business update, and talk about reworking my gym approach for smarter results all while figuring out how to meal prep without a microwave (send help 😅).

If you’re navigating change, chasing goals, or just trying to make better choices while staying true to yourself, this one’s for you.

Welcome back to another episode of Pushing Flames. This week was one of those stretches that tested me it felt long, I was exhausted, the scale barely moved, and my workouts were weak. Normally, that combination would leave me frustrated and stuck. But instead of quitting, I learned something new about how the body works, and it completely shifted my mindset.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what I discovered about the leptin hormone, why my body was stalling, and how one planned refeed day actually pushed me forward. I’ll also share why I’ve decided to put my business on pause for now and fully invest in myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. This journey is more than numbers on a scale. It’s about betting on myself, and refusing to let anything stop me.

This week was all about the mental game. From sleepless nights and wrestling with blood sugars to figuring out rest days and gym struggles, I had to remind myself that progress isn’t always linear but it’s still happening.

I talk about hitting my lowest weight yet, why weighing in every day actually helps me understand my body, and how even setbacks (like Metformin emergencies or uncomfortable cardio sessions) can teach me something.

Beyond fitness, I share honest thoughts about work, what truly fulfills me, and how I’m learning to stay disciplined in more areas of life. I also touch on candle testing updates, building community, and how the right mindset can fuel everything.

If you’re on your own journey, health, habits, or personal growth this one’s for you.
