What happens when you’ve done everything right and nothing works?

In this raw and honest conversation, I sit down with Shayda, a physiotherapist, mom of two, and healthcare professional who spent years stuck in a cycle of trying, failing, and blaming herself.

Despite her background in healthcare, Shayda found herself overwhelmed, unhappy in her body, mentally exhausted, and constantly chasing the next solution—until she reached a breaking point.

In this episode, we talk about:
• why trying harder isn’t the answer
• how mental load quietly sabotages progress
• why knowledge alone doesn’t create change
• what finally made things click after years of frustration
• how simplicity, structure, and support change everything

🎧 Press play if you’ve ever thought, “I should be able to figure this out on my own,” yet feel more stuck than ever.

January is supposed to feel like a fresh start. For many women, it feels like the breaking point.

In this unfiltered and unscripted episode, Coach Jen and I talk about why New Year’s resolutions fall apart so quickly and why trying to do more only leads to burnout, frustration, and quitting.

We break down why women come into January already exhausted, why extreme plans backfire, and why trying to live like you did in your 20s no longer works in this season of life.

In this episode, we cover:
• why January creates unrealistic pressure
• why doing more workouts and eating less is not the answer
• the difference between competence and confidence
• how all-or-nothing thinking keeps women stuck
• what actually creates momentum without burnout

🎧 Press play if January has already made you feel overwhelmed, behind, or like you are failing because you are not.

If you feel like you are doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode is for you.

I talk about why more cardio, cutting carbs, tracking calories, or chasing the next strategy is not fixing the problem, especially for high-achieving women who are used to being competent in every area of life.

This episode dives into the real reason progress stalls. Behavior. I explain how ego, fear of failure, and all or nothing thinking quietly sabotage consistency and keep women repeating the same cycle.

In this episode, I cover:
• why trying harder often backfires
• how perfectionism keeps you stuck
• why “I should already know this” prevents real change
• what actually needs to shift for long-term results

🎧 Press play if you are ready to stop forcing outcomes and start doing this differently.

Traveling exposed a major flaw in most fitness advice.

In this episode, I explain how traveling made me a better fitness coach and why traditional fitness plans break down the moment routines, gyms, and food options change.

I cover five lessons travel has taught me about staying fit while traveling, including:

• how to navigate food availability in different countries
• how to train with limited gym equipment and time
• how gym culture varies around the world
• how cultural food expectations affect consistency
• why portion sizes are not universal

If you travel for work, family, or lifestyle, this episode will help you build a fitness strategy that actually works in real life.

In today’s episode, I’m calling out fitness and wellness trends that need to be left in 2025.

I’ve been seeing the same ideas recycled online, often by people who sound confident but are making fat loss more confusing than it needs to be. These trends don’t help women get results, they distract them from the basics that actually work.

In this episode, I cover:
• why calorie deficits still matter
• how hormones and cortisol are being misunderstood
• why cycle syncing and over tracking are unnecessary
• how trendy tools are replacing consistency

If you feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice or tired of chasing the next “fix,” this episode will bring some clarity.

🎧 Press play for a direct, no-BS conversation about fat loss, consistency, and why simpler usually works better.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Heather, former professional athlete, long-time college coach, and one of our amazing Powerhouse Academy members, to talk about the moment everything shifted for her.

After months of confusion, bloating, frustration, and trying to “figure it out” on her own, Heather reached a point where nothing felt right. She had the discipline. She had the athletic background. But her body wasn’t responding, her digestion was off, and her confidence had taken a hit.

Inside this episode, we get into:
• what happened when she followed a bulking approach that felt completely wrong
• the fear she had that “maybe this won’t work for me”
• how she handled a cruise without spiraling
• why letting go of control changed everything
• the moment her digestion, energy, and mindset dramatically improved
• how coaching + community helped her stay consistent
• how her confidence changed at home, at work, and in daily life

If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or wondered why you “should know what to do” but still can’t get results — Heather’s story will hit home.

The holidays can feel like a pressure cooker, especially for women. More planning, more obligations, more emotional labor, and somehow less time to take care of yourself.

In this week's Unfiltered and Unscripted episode, I am joined by Coach Jen to talk about the real reason women feel overwhelmed during the holidays and why it shows up as burnout, stress eating, skipped workouts, and that familiar “I will start over in January” mindset.

We cover why boundaries matter more than meal plans this time of year, how resentment builds when you stay quiet too long, and what it actually looks like to protect your energy without creating drama.

Inside the episode we cover:

• The holiday stress stats and why women carry more of the mental load
• How people pleasing and guilt keep you saying yes when you want to say no
• Why family traditions can create pressure even when relationships are not healthy
• How perfectionism and “martyr mode” makes everything harder
• Why fitness struggles during the holidays are usually a symptom, not the root issue
• The truth about holiday meals and why one day does not derail your progress
• Practical ways to create boundaries, communicate expectations, and stay consistent

If you feel like the holidays pull you away from your routines and leave you exhausted, this episode will help you reset your mindset and protect what matters.

🎧 Press play for a real conversation about boundaries, burnout, and staying grounded during the holidays.

This week, I’m talking with Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, a cardiac anesthesiologist, professor, entrepreneur, and mom of four, whose story every overwhelmed woman will relate to.

For years, Sasha was doing everything for everyone…and completely losing herself in the process.

On the outside, she was “fine.”
Inside, she was burned out, lonely, exhausted, and carrying the weight of everyone else’s expectations.

Inside this conversation, we talk through:

• The moment she realized she had disappeared inside motherhood and work
• How gaining 30 pounds became her wake-up call
• Why women stay “busy” to avoid facing uncomfortable truths
• How people pleasing destroys your energy, identity, and joy
• The 30-minute daily habit that changed her entire life
And more!

If you’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, or constantly putting yourself last, this episode will feel like oxygen.

🎧 Press play and see what happens when you finally choose YOU.
