In this episode, I’m joined by Micah Okerlund, a MACROS 101 alumna, to talk about what happens when you no longer feel like yourself. After a difficult pregnancy and diagnoses including PCOS, insulin resistance, and endometriosis, Micah found herself exhausted, disconnected, and searching for answers.

She shares how learning to trust her body, let go of fear and judgment, and approach change with patience and self-compassion helped her reclaim her energy, transform her mindset, and find her way back to herself. If you've ever wondered whether lasting change is possible, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your future self is worth fighting for.

Today’s podcast is from a Live Coaching session inside our Alumni program, Beyond MACROS101, where I sit down with Leah to unpack what seemed like a simple macro-tracking problem, but turned into a much deeper conversation about choice, ownership, and intentionality. We talk about the difference between actively making your own decisions and just reacting to life as it happens, and how that mindset shift can completely change your relationship with food, goals, and even yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “getting away with something” in your fitness journey, this episode will challenge the way you think about progress, flexibility, and personal responsibility.

In this episode, I sit down with Stacey Harkey to unpack a truth most of us don’t realize at first: you don’t actually want to lose weight; you want to like yourself. We dive into Stacey’s journey from Studio C to personal training, and the powerful lessons he’s learned about authenticity, confidence, and taking up space. We talk about why chasing external goals like weight loss can keep you stuck, how fear and people-pleasing hold you back, and what it really looks like to build self-worth from the inside out. This conversation challenged me in the best way, and I know it will for you, too. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or that you need to shrink yourself to be accepted, this episode is your reminder: you were meant to shine.

In this episode, I share a late-night realization about why so many people give up just before their efforts start to pay off. By reflecting on my own journey of recovering from chronic pain, I illustrate how this experience transformed my understanding of change, patience, and what it truly means to make progress. We explore the common trap of confusing slow results with a lack of results, a misconception that often leaves people feeling stuck. To help you navigate these moments of doubt, I offer five essential questions to determine whether you should maintain your current course or make a strategic pivot. Whether you are questioning if your hard work is making a difference or considering throwing in the towel, this discussion offers a fresh perspective on staying committed long enough to achieve meaningful outcomes.

I break down how we often make “starting” way bigger than it needs to be, why our brain resists change, and how past experiences can hold us back. I walk you through how to redefine getting started in a way that feels doable today, so you can finally take that first step and build real, sustainable momentum.

We dive into Shaylee’s journey with CrossFit, the mindset that helped her finally hit a 300-lb back squat after years of trying, and the lessons she’s learned about mental toughness, self-doubt, and persistence along the way. We also talk about motherhood, competing for the experience, and why you don’t have to be elite to call yourself an athlete.

I’m back with another RANT episode. It’s been a while since I’ve done one. So, in today’s podcast, I’m getting honest about something I see all the time in the fitness space: people saying they’re “doing everything” when they really aren’t. Seeing what true bodybuilding prep actually looks like gave me a whole new perspective on what going all in really means. And the truth is, most of us aren’t doing everything we possibly could to reach our goals, and that’s completely okay. The problem is convincing yourself that you are. I also talk about the trade-offs that come with any goal, why “fence sitting” often leads to frustration, and the powerful difference between saying “I’ve done everything I can” and “I’ve done everything I’m willing to do.” If you’ve been feeling stuck or resentful in your journey, this might be the mindset shift you need.

If the number can instantly change your mood, make you question everything you’re doing, or tempt you to jump to the next plan, you’re not alone. We talk about the “messy middle,” why your brain craves certainty, and how learning to tolerate discomfort is the real key to long-term success. This episode isn’t just about the scale; it’s about building the emotional resilience to stay consistent and trust yourself through the process.

We’re wrapping up our final “Best of 2025” episode with a powerful replay from Episode 269, a Live Coaching session from inside MACROS 101. One of the reasons I’m such a believer in coaching is that it helps bridge the gap between knowledge and implementation. And often, hearing someone else get coached can spark breakthroughs you didn’t know you needed. In this episode, Elise opens up about her fear of both success and failure, and how self-doubt kept holding her back. Together, we walk through how to reprogram the brain, rewrite old stories, and step into the belief of “I am enough.” As we head into a new year, this conversation is the perfect reminder that real change starts with what you believe about yourself.

This episode blends science with practical, actionable advice to help women train smarter, fuel better, and feel more empowered in their fitness journeys. Don’t miss this standout conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims, it's a must-listen for anyone serious about understanding women’s health and performance.

In this episode, I sit down with Neha Nautiyal, a vegetarian macro coach who lost 30 pounds, without giving up her beloved Indian food. If you’ve ever felt like macro counting means sacrificing your cultural dishes or eating separately from your family, Neha’s story will show you a different way. We talk about how she overcame the challenge of fitting high-carb, low-protein traditional meals into her macro goals, and how she ditched the “either/or” mindset to find balance. This conversation is about more than just food; it’s about embracing your culture while still making progress toward your goals. If you've ever felt stuck between two worlds, this episode is for you.

Summer is here! And with it comes vacations, getaways, and a break from routine. But if you’re working on your health and fitness goals, you might find yourself wondering: Can I enjoy my trip without throwing away all the progress I’ve made? The answer is yes, and in this episode, I’ll show you how. I’m diving into the mindset and strategy behind navigating vacations in a way that feels aligned, intentional, and guilt-free. Whether you choose to track, loosely estimate, or take a break altogether, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and that’s exactly the point. I’ll walk you through how to get clear on your priorities, make decisions ahead of time (instead of in the heat of the moment), and find your version of balance, so you come home feeling empowered, not regretful. If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile vacation fun with your fitness goals, this episode is your guide to doing both with confidence. Let’s dive in!

Together, we uncover what’s really going on: comparison. It’s quiet, it’s discouraging, and it often fuels self-sabotage. But the truth is, you’re not behind, you’re simply on your timeline.

Ladies, if you lift, run, jump, or even just sneeze, this is an episode you need to hear. Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t just a postpartum or aging issue; it affects active women of all ages and often goes unaddressed…until it becomes a problem. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Courtney Johnson, DPT, aka The Female Athlete Doc, a pelvic floor physical therapist who gets the gym. She speaks the language of lifting and doesn’t believe in sidelining women from the barbell. Instead, she’s all about keeping you active, strong, and leak-free. We dig into the real function of the pelvic floor, why Kegels aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and how every lift is a chance to train your core and pelvic floor, if you know how to use it. You’ll walk away from this conversation feeling empowered, educated, and maybe even rethinking how you brace for your next set of squats. Ready to lift smarter (and leak less)? Let’s jump in.

Today, ultra marathon runner Heidi Gardner shares how she discovered firsthand that you can’t outrun a bad diet. Despite running hundreds of miles, she gained 20 pounds—until she found a sustainable approach to weight loss through macro counting. We explore the power of habit layering, the importance of recognizing different struggles, and what it truly takes to fuel your body for success.

“Why does the number on the scale have so much power over us?” In this episode, I explore a challenge many of us face—the scale and the emotional rollercoaster it creates in our fitness journey. I’ll explain how our attachment to that number can derail our progress and lead to emotional highs and lows. You’ll learn why obsessing over the scale can be more damaging than we often realize, and why simply throwing it away isn’t always the answer. Instead, I’ll share how to detach from the scale emotionally and find more empowering ways to track your progress. If the scale has left you feeling frustrated or defeated, this episode is for you—let’s change the way we approach it.

In this episode, we’re diving into the essential connection between macros and mindset—because you can’t have one without the other. While many focus purely on strategy, like tracking macros and structuring workouts, real transformation happens when mindset and tools come together. I’ll break down why how you approach macro counting matters just as much as the numbers themselves. Plus, we’ll explore key mindset shifts that drive consistency, break the cycle of self-sabotage, and create lasting change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a start-and-stop pattern or wondered whether to prioritize mindset or strategy, this episode will bring the clarity you need.

Setting macros is only the first step—macro counting is so much more than hitting numbers once. You need to cycle through different phases (cutting, reverse dieting, maintenance, bulking) and adjust macros based on your body’s feedback. Consistency and mindset also play huge roles in long-term success. Without these tools, it’s easy to fall into self-sabotage or turn macros into just another diet.

This bonus episode is your chance to learn about the deeper aspects of macro counting that are essential for reaching your goals. But don’t wait—doors for Macros 101 close Thursday at 9 pm PT on September 19th. Don’t miss out on the complete roadmap that will help you finally reach your goals.

Today's podcast is another Coaching Call from our last round of MACROS 101 with my client, Katie. Katie opens up about her struggles with discouragement and feeling stuck in a 'shame tornado' when her measurements didn't match her expectations. We also take a closer look at Katie's background and how her past experiences have shaped her current mindset, including a tendency toward feeling like a victim. Tune in as I guide Katie through a game-changing exercise to flip those negative thoughts and rewire her brain for a more positive, empowering outlook. You won’t want to miss this one. Let's dive in!

Today's episode is all about my awesome trip to Costa Rica where I surfed with my husband for a whole week – trust me, it was amazing! But here's the cool part: I faced some big fears during the trip. No worries, I'm sharing all the exciting details about how I conquered those fears and how they relate to the challenges many of you might be dealing with in your fitness and life journeys.

For today's podcast, I'm sharing a Coaching Call from our BAB Coaching Community. It's a chance for you to see how I coach, which you'll also experience in my program, MACROS 101. In this episode, I'm helping Desiree with celebrating—turning it into something real and doable in everyday life. Here's a tip: use "acknowledging" instead of "celebrating" to make it seem easier. Just like any skill, acknowledging yourself gets better with practice. So, join in, and let's get better at self-acknowledgment together!

I'm back with the "Best Of" series for the month of December. Just like the previous years, I'm going to highlight some great throwback episodes that are full of golden nuggets to help you in your journey. These episodes are great, and sometimes, it takes revisiting familiar concepts multiple times for them to stick.

For today's "Best Of" episode, I'd like to revisit Episode 266, where I delve into the concept of The 4 Phases Of Macro Counting. While many associate macro counting solely with weight loss, it serves a broader purpose. This podcast episode aims to broaden your perspective on macro counting as a versatile tool applicable in various contexts, weight loss being just one aspect. I explore the four phases of macro counting, detailing the occurrences in each phase and providing guidance on determining the suitable starting point for you. Join me in this flashback episode as we explore the multifaceted world of macro counting!

This podcast episode will help you to understand that macro counting is simply a tool that can be used in many different ways, which includes weight loss. Join me as I discuss the four phases of macro counting, what happens in each of those phases and how to start to figure out which of the phases you should start in.

Instead, I’m going to highlight some great throwback episodes that are full of golden nuggets to help you in your journey. I’m calling this series, “Best Of” because they really are that great, and sometimes, it takes revisiting familiar concepts multiple times for them to stick.

For today’s “Best Of” episode, I thought I’d bring you back to Episode 181, where I talked all about macros and macro counting: from the new counter to the seasoned tracker, and everyone in between. So, if you’re curious about macros, looking to learn more, or want to get a better idea of how the BAB framework and coaching style differs from others, you’ve come to the right place!  So, let’s dive into this throwback episode!

It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, and my hope is that for those of you who are building a business (or thinking of doing so), it might be interesting to hear about both the hard days and the rewarding days. So, let’s get into it!

They’ve both been around for a long time, but I feel like now that it’s in more mainstream conversations, people might wonder if they should give it a shot, and what the benefits might be. I hope that by the end of the episode, we can rule out some misconceptions so that you’re able to make an informed decision about your fitness journey.

If any of that intrigues you, or you want more insight into my style of coaching, this episode is for you! Let’s dive in.

Comparing yourself to a former version of yourself can be just as detrimental as comparing yourself to somebody else. Today on the podcast I had Joy Jones join me. She shares her story of some fantastic results after going through MACROS 101, but she also talks about some difficulties she had through her reverse, maintenance, and then a medical issue that came up. I think many of you will find value in the episode and realize that sometimes, the things that can make the biggest change in your journey are not crazy and loud and overt, but really small and simple. So let's jump into this week’s “I Did It” Series episode with Joy Jones.

I truly believe that what you’re able to create in life is directly proportional to your ability to set and achieve goals. As you listen to this episode, my hope is that you start to understand why this is, and how you can improve upon this complicated relationship. I’ll be reviewing my 2021 goals at the end of this episode, and sharing which ones I did or didn’t hit, before sharing what my goals are for the New Year. So, let’s get into it!

This week, we’re returning to the “I Did It” Series with Marla Hannig. I love Marla’s story because she shares situations that many people will resonate with, and hopefully be inspired by. We talk about her fabulous experience with maintenance and some amazing life lessons she learned in her fitness journey. Many of you missed my Friday's special Bonus Episodes, so I’m bringing them back! And remember: If someone else can do it, you can as well.

For our second “Best Of” episode,  I thought I’d bring you back to an episode where I emphasized that fitness is about way more than just “being fit”. It's about helping women to achieve. It's about accepting responsibility and stepping into your power to create the results that you want, not getting held back by your brain and the beliefs that you choose to cling to. So, let’s dive in.

As I mentioned in my last episode, I’m taking a break from producing new BAB Radio Episodes for the month of December 2021. Rather, I’m going to highlight some great throwback episodes that are full of golden nuggets to help you in your journey. I’m calling this series, “Best Of” because they really are that great, and sometimes, it takes revisiting familiar concepts multiple times for them to stick.

 

For today’s “Best Of” episode, I thought I’d bring you back to Episode 51, where I talked all about the questions we ask ourselves. This is something that I do a lot in my coaching -- Help walk clients through asking themselves better questions. Hopefully, this episode is fun and informative, and you’ll be able to apply it to your journey. So, let’s dive into this throwback episode!

So if we understand that macro counting is a tool then if you become more aware of it and more intentional with it, can you create better results with your body?

Today on the podcast we are going to dive deep into the topic of sleep. I selfishly invited Jenn Trepeck to the podcast, because I have questions about sleep and I wanted to ask somebody who thinks and knows more about sleep than I do. In this episode, we talked through sleep trackers, why sleep is important, how to improve our sleep, and how to start to look at sleep holistically.

Today on the podcast we are going to dive deep into the topic of sleep. I selfishly invited Jenn Trepeck to the podcast, because I have questions about sleep and I wanted to ask somebody who thinks and knows more about sleep than I do. In this episode, we talked through sleep trackers, why sleep is important, how to improve our sleep, and how to start to look at sleep holistically. And I got some of the answers about heart rate variability about readiness scores. So if that's something that you've been curious about one how to improve your sleep, two, how to know maybe if you're not getting enough sleep, what are some of the recommendations when it comes to getting better sleep, then this podcast episode is going to be for you.

I'm back with another rant episode. I share this as a perspective to offer you maybe a different perspective than you've gotten from other fitness influencers, and maybe a different perspective than you currently hold yourself. I offer that as an opportunity for you to maybe look at things a little bit differently. And so the thing that we're going to look at a little bit differently today is motivation. So let's dive into today's episode as we talk a lot about motivation and we like to point out how important it is and that we need to stay motivated.

I'm just so itching to have you listen to this interview that I had with Kiki as we talk about a whole range of topics, such as eating, and lifting, but most importantly, we talk about the idea of eating more to weigh less. You might ask, how can "eat more to weigh less" be a thing? I hope you don't miss today's episode as it can be such a revolutionary game-changer for so many women.

I have an awesome guest in the podcast today, who's older than 40. At her age, Mary Ann says that she's never looked better and everything changed when she found macro counting in her late 40s. I can't wait for you to take a listen to the podcast as she shares her story, perspective, and experiences as she's gone through the aging process.

It's the time of the year that we're rolling into Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then comes the New Year. Time for indulgence and a lot of women equated it to the time when you gain weight, then the new year's resolutions come out, the weight loss starts and you know, wash, rinse, repeat. Many of us have been familiar with that pattern over and over and over again, so I thought it would be a good thing to record a podcast episode and have a chat about how to succeed during this time. Sounds interesting? Let's dive in!

My guest today is someone that's a little bit different because most people in the fitness industry wouldn't put the two of us together, "opposing sides". But it's interesting that both of us share the same goal and that’s where we want you to get to. I believe that's the goal for most women in the fitness industry, to empower women, we want women to be able to live their best life. And so we have already had a really good conversation and I'm really excited for you to listen to it.

Hashimoto's disease plays into the realm of fitness in terms of weight loss and weight gain, because the thyroid hormone is intricately involved with metabolism. And for many women with Hashimoto's, they're left with a feeling of not being able to control their weight, which can leave them anxious or doubtful about their own successes. So I wanted to bring someone on the podcast who could give a perspective as somebody who has been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and is still able to focus on her fitness. So let's hear Karenin's story.

And for many women with Hashimoto's, they're left with a feeling of not being able to control their weight, which can leave them anxious or doubtful about their own successes.

When I joined his program Business By Design, I fell in love with how he presents, speaks, and coaches business. His program helped me get my business to the multiple six-figure-business that it is today (with a team that serves and helps so many more women because of that). I can't wait for you to get introduced to him to hear his insights and thoughts.

I hope that you'll be able to listen and apply all of Heather’s great insight about losing half your body weight to your own fitness journey (especially if you are currently feeling some of those feelings of restriction and resentment).

Welcome to episode 01 of the Biceps After Babies Radio!

I'm Amber Brueseke: a registered nurse, personal trainer, online fitness coach, wife, and mom of 4. I started Biceps After Babies in 2016 and have really clarified my mission over the years to help women feel confident in their skin and empowered in their lives through fitness and nutrition.

Up to this point, I've mostly shared my message and mission on Instagram and Facebook but I have realized that I have SO much more to say than can be confined to a caption. Biceps After Babies Radio will be a place where I personally can teach, motivate, and inspire, as well as share with guests who will do the same.

In this first episode, I tell you what you can expect from the podcast and why I created this show. I tell you a little of my story so you can get to know me and why I am so passionate about fitness.

Thanks for listening, hit subscribe and check back each Tuesday for new episodes!
