To me, International Women’s Day is about celebrating the strength of women.

The kind of strength that doesn’t always get recognized.

The strength to keep going when things feel heavy.
The strength to speak up.
The strength to stand your ground.
The strength to rebuild when life doesn’t go the way you thought it would.

Women carry a lot. Expectations, responsibilities, emotions, pressure. And yet somehow we still show up for the people in our lives and for ourselves.

International Women’s Day, to me, is about recognizing that.

Not just the big accomplishments that get celebrated publicly, but the quiet resilience that happens behind the scenes every single day.

The strength it takes to grow, to change, to lead, to care, to start over, to keep going.

Women are powerful in more ways than the world often gives credit for.

And that strength deserves to be celebrated!

Happy International Women’s Day 🫶

My hot take?

I think people get frustrated by others using a GLP-1 medication because when they went through their weight loss journey they ‘had to do it the hard way’, and might be frustrated that they did have this option.

My OTHER hot take, is people use it as a quick fix WITHOUT addressing their underlying habits and end up frustrated when they eventually come off of it because they can’t maintain it with their old habits.

Regardless, your reason to use or not use a GLP-1 should only matter to you.
But that’s why there are coaches like me who understand that it’s just another piece of information to help you along your journey.

We just want to help you in the most health focused, sustainable way possible.

You saying ‘screw it’ on the days when life starts to life, isn’t what’s holding you back from reaching your goals.

It’s your mindset during the aftermath.

Let me explain.
You doing all the things within a program is actually the easy part.

Moving from the mindset of ‘I f*cked up, I’ll start again Monday’ cycle to ‘This day didn’t go as I planned but that’s okay because I have a plan that I follow even when I have hard days’ is the hardest part.

The transition of not letting yourself spiral when life happens is tricky and it takes practice and putting in the reps to improve that mindset.

So no, you saying screw it when life gets busy isn’t the reason you aren’t seeing progress.
It’s the fact that you’re telling yourself you’re starting over every week just because a day doesn’t go as planned.

A bump in the road happens, you acknowledge it, and you move forward.
You don’t overhaul, you don’t skip meals, you don’t ‘make up for it’.

Happy Athletic Training and Therapy day!

I am so beyond grateful to be part of such a rewarding profession.

There are honestly no words to describe it.

We aren’t just tapers, bandaid retrievers, or water givers.

We are the front lines in an emergency situation for our athletes, and even bystanders.
We are the first person to take care of injury prevention, rehab, safety, and overall health of our athletes.

Athletic Therapists & Athletic Trainers play a crucial role in health and safety for teams.

And we really are just the funniest person on staff 🤣

Forever grateful for all the athletes, coaches & parents that I’ve been able to meet throughout my career 🫶

When I first started online coaching, I was so clear on one thing.

I did not want to be known as a weight loss coach.

Even typing that out makes me laugh a little, because I never fully understood why it felt so uncomfortable. It just did. It felt surface level. It felt like I would be reduced to before and after photos and scale numbers. And that was never why I got into this.

So I swung hard in the other direction.

I was the strength coach. The one who got women strong as hell. We chased pull ups, deadlifts, confidence under a barbell. And I loved that. I still do.

But if I’m honest, I was also quietly closing a door.

I avoided conversations about fat loss and weight loss because I didn’t want to be put in a box. And in doing that, I made it harder for women who genuinely wanted support in that area to see themselves in my work.

Over the last year, my perspective has shifted.

I’ve learned more about nutrition. About behaviour change. About the emotional side of food and body image. About how nuanced fat loss actually is when you care about performance, hormones, stress, recovery, and sustainability.

Fat loss is not shallow.
Weight loss is not vain.
Wanting to feel at home in your body is not wrong.

And the women I work with? They want to feel capable. Strong. Confident in photos. Confident in the gym. Confident in their clothes.

They want to lift heavy and feel lean.
To build muscle and lose body fat.
To stop feeling like they have to choose.

And I get to help them do both.

That doesn’t feel icky anymore.
That feels aligned.

Stress management and taking focus away from pain is such an under used tool for most people.

The only activity I did with one of my clients was anything else we could do today that had zero focus on their back.

She caught on quick and said to me “I see what you’re trying to do here”

I said “what’s that?”

“You’re trying to show me that I am capable of doing things without my back hurting”

It was a great lightbulb moment for her because she gets so stuck in her head about her pain that she feels scared to move and do anything.

Pain science can be complicated but if it’s relayed in a way that you understand it can be a really powerful tool to use. And gives the client a better understanding of how pain signals can come up.

This is your sign to push through the discomfort and lack of motivation, and keep going towards those goals!

Working harder isn’t always the answer.

If your days feel chaotic, your basics probably aren’t protected.
Time blocking helps turn good intentions into actual follow-through.

You can’t make progress without sleep, fuel, movement, and rest.

And those don’t happen by accident.

Put them in your schedule.

Training with intention isn’t about doing less.
It’s about doing the right amount for the goal you’re chasing.

Some days that means pushing hard.
Some days that means practicing, building, or recovering.

The goal isn’t to leave destroyed.
It’s to leave progressing.

This is the year you get your s**t together.

You’re ready to eat better, move more, and finally work toward your goals.

So you download MyFitnessPal for the first time.
You plug in your info.
It spits out a number for calories and macros.

You think, “Okay… I can do this.”
The first couple days feel fine.
You’re a bit hungry, but you tell yourself that’s just part of it.

Then BOOM.
You’re starving at all hours of the day.
Your workouts feel flat and heavy.
You’re dragging yourself through sessions that used to feel good.

You start wondering if you’re doing something wrong.
If you’re not disciplined enough.
If you just need to “try harder.”

But it’s not a willpower problem.
And it’s not because you’re failing the plan.

It’s because an app just dropped you into 1300 calories a day with zero context.

Here’s the thing.
Online calculators are built to give generic estimates.
They don’t know your training volume, your stress levels, your history with food, or how your body actually responds over time.

Coaching isn’t about blindly following a number.
It’s about adjusting based on real feedback, real life, and sustainability.

If tracking feels overwhelming, miserable, or like it’s sucking the life out of your training, you don’t need more discipline.
You need a better starting point.

If you want help finding one, send me a DM.
