She was working out five days a week, lifting heavy, eating home cooked meals. Doing everything she had always done. And gaining weight anyway.

Heather is 52, in perimenopause, the first female captain at her police department, and a Powerhouse Academy member. After gaining 15 pounds that would not budge no matter what she tried, she was starting to accept that this was just what her body looked like now. This episode is the story of what changed.

In this episode, we cover:

• why everything she had always done suddenly stopped working
• how perimenopause weight gain was quietly affecting her confidence at work and at home
• what made her finally reach out after a year of trying on her own
• why she was skeptical and what changed her mind
• how she lost 15 pounds and maintained through 10 days of travel
• the mindset shift that stopped her from spiraling when the scale went up
• what her husband said at her son's baseball game that stopped everyone in their tracks
• why she just signed up for another six months

If you are over 50 and feel like your body has stopped responding the way it used to, this one is for you.

If you have ever felt like you were too much, too complicated, or not worth the effort - this episode is for you.

Coach Jen and I break down the pattern we see over and over with the women we work with: guilt that makes women act like they are a burden in their own relationships, stop investing in themselves, and slowly disappear from their own lives.

In this episode, we cover:

• why women start acting like they owe their partner for loving them
• how guilt quietly kills self-care, confidence, and attraction
• what your children actually observe when you operate from guilt
• the difference between being a partner and feeling like you are in debt to someone
• why survival mode is not a partnership and what a real one looks like
• how resentment builds when women stop taking care of themselves
• what communication in a real partnership actually has to look like
• why taking care of yourself is the foundation for everything else

I bring my own perspective as the child who grew up watching this pattern play out. Jen brings the perspective of the single mom, the step parent, and the licensed therapist. This conversation covers every angle.

If you have ever been asked what you are taking or told it must be nice to have time to work out, this episode is for you.

LinkedIn data says women's path to the C-suite is narrowing. Senior leadership hires are falling. And the corporate world is giving you all the politically correct reasons why.

But there is a piece of the puzzle nobody is talking about. And I am going to say it.

In this episode, I am sharing what I see after working with over 5,000 women in leadership - the real, unpolished, behind-the-scenes reasons why incredibly capable women are staying stuck. Not the survey answers. The actual truth.

We talk about:

• Why competence alone stops moving the needle at senior levels
• The confidence gap that is keeping women out of the room
• How body image is quietly eating hours out of your work day
• The "I should already know this" trap that ego built
• Why women carry twice the load at home and still won't ask for help
• What a 155% pay increase actually came down to
• The uncomfortable conversation corporate America refuses to have

If you are a woman in leadership, in the workforce, or thinking about getting back into it - this episode is going to hit close to home.

Most people think hiring a coach is as simple as finding someone who is fit and knows their stuff.

But there are three things nobody talks about and missing even one of them can make the whole experience fall flat.

In this episode, I am sharing the three non-negotiables I look for before hiring anyone and what I have learned after spending close to $250,000 on coaching across business, fitness, and personal development.

We talk about:

• Why being fit does not qualify someone to coach
• The first thing to look for: is that coach actually coachable?
• Alignment - in beliefs, lifestyle, and how you communicate
• Why respect is the foundation of every coaching relationship
• How to spot a coach who is still operating on 2012 information
• What bad coaching experiences can actually teach you

If you have ever hired a coach and felt like something was off - or you are thinking about hiring one now - this episode is going to change how you look at the whole process.

What happens when you have been in fitness your whole life but suddenly nothing works anymore?

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica, a longtime member who came back to Powerhouse Academy after divorce, chronic stress, and years of feeling stuck in survival mode.

At 46, traveling internationally, raising two teenagers, and navigating a new relationship, Jessica did not need another extreme plan.

She needed structure. Support. And consistency.

We talk about:
• why her body stopped responding after stress
• the impact of hormones and nervous system overload
• letting go of bro dieting and excessive cardio
• traveling without sabotaging progress
• releasing perfectionism
• and rebuilding confidence by following through

Most women think confidence comes after the results. After the weight loss. After they finally “feel ready.”

In this Unfiltered and Unscripted episode, I sit down with Coach Jen  — head coach at Powerhouse Academy and licensed counselor — to unpack what confidence actually is.

We talk about:
• why confidence isn’t about motivation or vibes
• how lack of follow-through slowly erodes self-trust
• the obsession with novelty in fitness and wellness
• toxic positivity and over-grace
• and powerful research showing how lifestyle choices directly impact mental health

If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do,” but still feel stuck — this conversation will challenge you in the best way.

What happens when conversations about women’s rights get complicated?

In this episode, I sit down with Yasmine Mohammed — author of Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims — to talk about her lived experience growing up in a fundamentalist Islamic household in Canada.

She shares what it was like being forced into hijab as a child, navigating abuse, being taken to Egypt against her will, and eventually entering a forced marriage at 19.

But this episode goes beyond one story.

We talk about:

• indoctrination and identity
• why “just leave” isn’t always simple
• honor violence and forced marriage
• freedom of belief
• the difference between criticizing people and questioning ideas
• why women’s autonomy should not depend on geography

This conversation is thoughtful and nuanced.

What does my nose job have to do with your fitness journey?
A lot more than you think.

In this episode, I talk about invisible struggles—the kind no one else sees, but you live with every single day. I share how living with a deviated septum quietly impacted my sleep, energy, confidence, motherhood, and work in ways even the people closest to me didn’t fully understand.

And why this is exactly how fitness struggles show up for so many women.

We talk about:

• why “looking fine” doesn’t mean you feel fine
• how discomfort slowly becomes normalized
• why invisible struggles still carry a real cost
• the difference between luxury and quality of life
• why you don’t need permission to improve how you feel

If it matters to the person living in the body, it matters enough.

🎧 Press play if you’ve ever thought,
“I don’t even have that much to lose,”
“Other people say I look fine,”
or “I should just be able to push through this”—
yet feel like parts of your life are quietly shrinking because of how you feel in your body.

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

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.

In this episode, I cover:
• why trying harder often backfires
• how perfectionism keeps you stuck
• why “I should already know this” prevents real change

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.

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.

• Why waiting for a calmer season keeps you stuck in the same loop
• How optimism bias lies to you about your future capacity
• The real cost of delaying your goals and how it affects your identity

This week, I’m talking with Haleigh, a mom of three who spent years hiding behind her kids in photos and avoiding full-body pictures because she didn’t like the way she looked. On the outside, she kept saying she was “fine.” But when we peeled back the layers, she realized she wasn’t fine at all.

Inside this episode, Haleigh and I talk through:
• The moment she realized her weight was creeping back to her pregnancy number
• Why she always hid behind her kids in photos
• What happened when she finally admitted how she really felt
• The difference between trying to lose weight alone vs. having support
• How she lost 16.5 pounds in under 8 weeks without cutting carbs
• The mindset shift that changed everything
• Why the Powerhouse Academy gave her the structure she couldn’t create on her own

Every holiday season, women fall into the same pattern:

“I’ll get back on track in January.”
“I already messed up, so I’ll just start over later.”

If that’s you, this episode is your wake-up call.

Coach Jen and I break down the holiday all-or-nothing mindset — how it forms, how it shows up in your daily choices, and why it keeps you stuck in the same cycle year after year. This has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with outdated beliefs around discipline, food, and perfection.

Here’s what we cover:

• The signs you’re slipping into all-or-nothing thinking
• Why the “diet hard → binge later” cycle always backfires
• How perfectionism keeps you from starting
• How overcommitting destroys your consistency
• What adjusting expectations really looks like
• How to stop repeating the fall-off → restart → fall-off pattern

If you’re tired of starting every new year feeling behind, this episode will show you how to break the cycle before it starts.

• How unrealistic plans destroy your self-trust

If you’ve ever felt like life, motherhood, hormones, and everyone else’s needs come before your own — this episode is going to hit.

Today I’m talking with Beth Feracco — strength coach, mom, wife, former alcoholic — who hit rock bottom, walked herself into an AA meeting, and rebuilt her entire life in her 40s.

We get into:

• The exact “one decision” that made her get sober
• How fitness became the anchor that kept her from going backward
• Why women resist the boring basics and chase gut protocols and cortisol hacks
• Menopause, hot flashes, HRT, and being proactive instead of suffering through it
• How to stop cooking 4 different meals for the family and actually eat for your goals
• Mom guilt, mental load, and setting boundaries without being a martyr
• Why social media “inflammation” talk is just diet culture in a new outfit

It’s funny, it’s blunt, and it’s the kind of conversation women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s need to hear especially if you’ve ever said “I know what to do, I just don’t do it.”

If you’ve ever been told a pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day, that carbs make you fat, or that you must do fasted cardio to see results — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with exercise scientist James Krieger to unpack what’s real, what’s outdated, and what actually matters for lasting results.

We cover:

• The real number of calories muscle burns (it’s not 50 per pound)
• Why “slow metabolism” is mostly a movement problem, not a genetic curse
• How much muscle you can realistically build per month
• Why low-carb and fasting aren’t magic — they just help people eat less
• What insulin really does (and why healthy people don’t need glucose monitors)
• Why the “anabolic window” is mostly myth
• The real reason fasted cardio doesn’t outperform fed cardio
• How overcomplicating your health with gadgets and “cycle syncing” just adds noise

James and I also talk about how perfectionism and micromanaging every detail can actually make you miss what matters most — consistency, adherence, and real-life flexibility.

Let’s be honest — we’ve all said it: “I’m just too busy.”
But is it really that we’re too busy… or that we’ve stopped setting boundaries?

In this episode, Coach Jen and I unpack what being busy actually means and how it’s quietly draining your energy, your confidence, and your connection with yourself. We talk about how to stop using busyness as a badge of honor, how to create systems that work for your real life, and why self-respect starts with the way you treat yourself.

We also dive into:

• The myth of “I don’t have time” and what’s really hiding behind it
• How your habits and boundaries shape your kids’ behavior and self-worth
• The difference between being productive and being present

If you’ve ever felt like the fitness industry is talking out of both sides of its mouth, you’re not wrong. From “never train fasted” to “lift light for lean muscle” to “ditch the scale,” women are constantly bombarded with mixed messages that make staying consistent nearly impossible.

In this week’s episode, I break down why so much of what you’ve been told is flat-out wrong and what actually matters if you want results that last. I talk about how information overload leads to paralysis, why real progress comes from simplicity, and how to know which rules are worth following and which ones are total nonsense.

You’ll walk away knowing how to tune out the noise, train with confidence, and stop second-guessing every move you make.

We’ll cover:

• Why “consistency problems” are really strategy problems
• How different life seasons demand different plans
• The 4 essentials: clarity, specificity, strategy, execution systems
• How information overload creates paralysis by analysis

If you’ve been frustrated thinking you already “know what to do,” this episode will give you the truth and the tools to finally move forward.

If anyone had a reason to put fat loss on hold, it’s Ashley—six kids, constant travel, a business, and zero “perfect timing.” Instead, she’s down 15 pounds in just 9 weeks.

In this episode, we break down how she did it: simple nutrition swaps, 20-minute strength sessions, and accountability that works at Disney, parties, and road trips.

We dive into:

• Why a parasite cleanse and “trying everything” left her stuck
• The mindset shift from “Do I have permission?” to “These are my goals”
• How to make travel and family life part of the plan (not an excuse)
• Why waiting for the “perfect time” keeps you spinning your wheels
• The power of support when fear creeps in (“What if it stops working?”)

This is proof you don’t need detoxes, extremes, or all-day gym sessions to see real results. You just need a plan that works with your life.

“Calories don’t matter for fat loss—just focus on hormones and gut health.”
You’ve heard that line before… but is it true?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real science behind fat loss and calling out the BS that’s confusing so many women. I talk about why calories do matter, how hormones and gut health actually influence fat loss, and the dangerous rise of overcomplicated protocols (and overpriced supplements) disguised as “root cause solutions.”

I also cover:

• The sports team analogy that’ll finally make this all make sense
• How stress often looks like gut issues
• What to ask before buying into anyone’s “protocol”
• Why jargon ≠ expertise and what actually does
• How to spot a charlatan trying to sell you nonsense

If you’ve ever been told it’s “not about calories,” this one’s for you.
Let’s bring back nuance  and stop pretending simple science is outdated.

Ever felt like “discipline” culture is doing more harm than good? Or that postpartum “bounce back” talk ignores real life? In this episode, coach James Cappola and I get honest about extremes, why behavior change beats aesthetics, and how to spot toxic advice online.

We dive into how we first connected (yes—a call-out!), the moment James ditched brute-force dieting for performance and patience, and how a six-month NICU journey reframed resilience and priorities. We also talk about raising daughters in an algorithm-obsessed world, using emotion responsibly in content, and why confidence and metabolic health can co-exist.

If you’re ready to trade noise for simple, sustainable systems, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m diving into the fitness myths that sound convincing on social media but are secretly keeping you stuck.

I cover:

• Why building muscle isn’t the fat-burning shortcut people claim it is
• Why protein alone won’t build muscle and how it only works when paired with resistance training
• Why intuitive eating doesn’t work for fat loss when your hunger cues are deregulated

I even share the ridiculous story of how I once thought eating a bucket of Popeyes fried chicken counted as “healthy” because I was told chicken was good for fat loss.

The takeaway? Simplicity wins. When you stop chasing complicated hacks and stick to strategies that make sense, consistency — and results — follow.

In this episode, I speak with Sandraliz — a longtime dispatcher, wife, and mom who spent years trying every diet and trainer program under the sun. After hitting a breaking point, she joined Powerhouse Academy and found a new level of balance, confidence, and results.

We talk about:

• Why fad diets and cookie-cutter programs fail women long-term
• The breaking point moment that made Sandraliz say “enough is enough”
• How coaching gave her the tools and support she never had before
• The link between mindset, medical conditions, and fitness results
• How confidence, clothes, and relationships changed along the way

Sandraliz’s story proves that sustainable results aren’t about more rules they’re about balance, support, and the right squad in your corner.

You’re not failing because you’re lazy.

You’re failing because hidden mental health roadblocks are sabotaging your results.

In this episode, Coach Jen and I dig into the connection between mental health and fitness and why toxic positivity, perfectionism, and “all-or-nothing” thinking keep women stuck in cycles that no diet or workout plan can fix.

We cover:

• Why fat gain is usually just a symptom, not the real problem
• How perfectionist and over-achiever patterns backfire in fitness
• The truth about toxic positivity (and why it’s self-gaslighting)
• Why quick fixes only make things worse long term
• What it actually takes to break free and see results that last

Balance isn’t a 50/50 split between fun and discipline.
It’s alignment with what actually matters to you.

In this episode, I call out the comfortable misalignment so many women live in  saying yes to everything, people-pleasing, skipping workouts, and calling it “balance.” I share why this illusion is keeping you from the health, confidence, and freedom you want, and how to build a version of balance that supports your priorities instead of sabotaging them.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, and frustrated but telling yourself you’re just “living life,” this is your wake-up call.

You don’t need more discipline.
You need a plan that fits your actual life.

In this episode, I get real about why so many women struggle to stay consistent and why it has less to do with willpower and more to do with trying to follow unrealistic plans that were never built for real life. From back-to-school chaos to vacation hangovers and holiday excuses, this episode is the wake-up call (and strategy shift) you didn’t know you needed.

In this powerful episode, Nathalia sits down with longtime client and now friend Margot, a military attorney and mom of 3, to talk about the real aftermath of plastic surgery, why so many women struggle after “fixing” their bodies, and what finally helped her feel like herself again—without the shame, the spiral, or the need to go it alone.

Here’s the truth: it’s way more complicated.

Sick of wellness advice that sounds good but does nothing? Same.

Ever found yourself thinking, “Is it really me... or is this weight loss thing way more complicated than I’ve been told?”

Maybe you’ve side-eyed the Ozempic hype, gotten whiplash from the ever-changing advice (it’s carbs-no wait, cortisol-no wait, glucose spikes!), or felt straight-up gaslit by the fitness industry.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, the internet’s favorite meme-slinging obesity doc—for an unfiltered convo on what’s actually going on with obesity, GLP-1 meds, and why your body might be doing exactly what it’s designed to do (even if that’s not what you want).

If you’re tired of BS headlines, “just eat less and move more” advice, and influencers oversimplifying complex health struggles, you need this episode.

In this honest convo, I sit down with Brittany & Matthew—a powerhouse couple navigating motherhood, marriage, and a major confidence comeback. We unpack what it really takes to close the gap between knowing and doing, why well-meaning compliments can fall flat, and how the right kind of support (spoiler: it’s not always your partner) can change everything.

I can’t believe I’m saying this… but we made it to 100 episodes!

You’ll laugh, you might cringe, and you’ll definitely realize you’re not alone in your chaos.

I’m talking about real change, real responsibility, and why no coach (no matter how badass) can drag you across the finish line if you’re not willing to show up for yourself.

Ever feel like your body’s turning on you as you get older, and everyone expects you to just shrug it off and deal with it? Yeah, no thanks. We’re not here for that mindset. In part two of my conversation with the amazing Dr. Stephanie Estima, we’re diving headfirst into how to tackle those wild hormonal transitions that come with age. Spoiler alert: it’s not about popping a magic pill and calling it a day. We’re talking about the power of smart lifestyle choices, proper nutrition, and yes, even hormone therapy (when it makes sense) to take back control.

We’re breaking down the game-changing role of resistance training, getting real about insulin resistance, and calling out the nonsense being pushed by social media “experts.” This is the episode you didn’t know you needed—because redefining aging and taking control of your health starts right here, right now.

So, buckle up. It’s time to get informed, get empowered, and build a healthier, stronger, more vibrant future. Let’s do this!

In this special two-part conversation, I’m joined by the powerhouse herself, Dr. Stephanie Estima—a top-tier expert in female health, metabolism, and performance. Together, we’re pulling back the curtain on what women really need to thrive, especially as we navigate perimenopause and menopause.

We’re busting fitness myths that don’t serve women’s bodies, getting real about the not-so-glamorous (but absolutely essential) basics of nutrition, and diving into the unique physiological and psychological needs of women. This episode is loaded with grit, science, and straight-up game-changing insights.

Here’s the deal: women are not just smaller men with “pesky” hormones, and it’s time we start acting like it. Tune in to learn how to embrace your biology, ditch the one-size-fits-all advice, and step into your healthiest, most empowered self.

Trust me, this is one episode you won’t want to miss. See you next week as we continue our conversation with Dr. Estima!

Are we raising a generation that's afraid of food? Why do kids today have such complicated relationships with their plates and mirrors?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jennifer Lawson to unpack how our own behaviors as moms are quietly shaping our kids’ health—for better or worse. From the lingering scars of those ‘90s diet culture messages to the dangers of today’s restrictive food trends, we’re calling out how even the most well-meaning choices might mess with our children’s relationship with food and their bodies. Jennifer breaks down why straight-up weight talks with teens can backfire and shares a game-changing perspective: becoming partners with our kids in living healthier lives. I get real about why moms need to actually live the healthy habits we preach and why running ourselves into the ground isn’t the badge of honor motherhood makes it out to be.

This episode is full of eye-opening insights on how we can rewrite the script and become better, healthier role models for our kids. Trust me—you’re going to want to hear this. It might just change your family’s entire health journey.
