“I eat well.”

It’s something I hear all the time from people who feel stuck in their health and wellness journey. But that statement isn’t helpful—and in many cases, it’s the very thing keeping you from making real progress.

In this episode, I break down why “eating well” is a subjective belief, how it can sabotage your results, and what truly nourishing your body actually looks like. We’ll cover:

• The common (and problematic) interpretations of “eating well”

• How under-eating, macro imbalances, and marketing buzzwords can keep you spinning your wheels

• Sneaky food choices that seem healthy but aren’t aligned with your goals

• The five pillars I use with clients to assess whether their diet is actually working for them

• Why consistency - not perfection - is the key to seeing change

If you’ve been telling yourself you're doing everything right but not seeing results, this is the episode you need.

What if the health struggles you’re facing aren’t just about diet, exercise, or willpower — but about unresolved trauma stored in your body?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by trauma-informed confidence and relationship coach Tori Jenae to explore the deep connection between emotional health, the nervous system, and physical wellbeing.

Tori shares her personal healing journey, from a traumatic upbringing to decades of study in psychology, somatic work, and functional health practices. Together, we break down how chronic stress and trauma can manifest in everything from gut and hormone imbalances to burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing — and what you can actually do about it.

You’ll learn:

• How trauma gets stored in the body and impacts digestion, hormones, and energy

• The signs your body may still be stuck in fight-or-flight mode

• Why completing the stress cycle is essential for long-term health

• How perfectionism and people-pleasing can be early indicators of unresolved trauma

• Practical tools to start regulating your nervous system today

• Why self-compassion and experimentation are key to lasting change

Whether you’ve experienced “big T” trauma, chronic stress, or simply feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” this episode will help you approach your health goals from a deeper, more compassionate place.

If you’re putting in the work at group fitness classes but still wondering why you’re not seeing more definition, this episode is for you.

As a long-time group fitness coach and lifter myself, I’m breaking down the key reasons your workouts might not be delivering the muscle tone and strength you’re after — and what to do about it (without ditching your favorite class).

Inside this episode, we cover:

• What most group fitness programs get wrong when it comes to muscle-building

• The importance of rest (yep, you probably need more of it)

• How to track your progress and push past your comfort zone

• The often-overlooked role of nutrition, sleep, and stress outside the gym

• Small changes that can make a big difference in your results

This isn’t about shaming group fitness — it’s about helping you actually get what you came for.

If you're ready to level up your training, but you're not sure where to start, I’d love to help. DM me on Instagram @coachdianaleigh or shoot me an email at coachdianaleigh@gmail.com and we’ll chat about how to tailor your workouts for real results.
