Ever feel like your body is working against you as you lose weight?
In this episode, I’m answering two great questions I received from my clients inside StrongHER…
– Why your BMR drops as you lose weight… even when you’re building muscle
– And the real difference between a refeed day and a “cheat day” (hint: they are not the same thing)
If you’ve ever felt like fat loss slows down for no reason, or you’ve been tempted to “just have a cheat day” and hope for the best… this episode will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.
This isn’t about guesswork, extremes, or starting over every Monday.
It’s about understanding what your body is actually doing, so you can work with it, not against it.

EP66: We're having a baby edition!
In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal… my pregnancy journey so far.
From how we conceived, to the emotions I didn’t expect, to navigating the first 20 weeks as a strength-training, business owner, this is the raw, unfiltered update.
I talk about:
• The reality behind those first few months
• Symptoms, energy shifts & body changes
• Training through pregnancy
• The mindset shifts that surprised me
• Balancing business, ambition & growing a baby
If you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or simply curious about this season of life, I hope this makes you feel less alone.
This isn’t just about pregnancy. It’s about identity, surrender, strength and stepping into a new chapter.

EP65: New Year, new goals done right!
In this episode, I share with the StronghHER ladies how to kick off your health and fitness goals with clarity and confidence, without falling into the all-or-nothing trap that sees most people give up by February.
We cover what actually matters at the start of the year, the most common pitfalls to watch out for, and how to build habits that last... even with a busy, demanding life.
Whether your goal is fat loss, strength, consistency, or simply feeling back in control, this episode will help you start strong and stay the course.
No extremes. No burnout. Just a smarter, more sustainable way to make this year count.
