    #137 - From Rock Bottom To 100 Pounds Lost and a Life Rebuilt with Gaby Comtois

    Gaby says: "Come for the workout, stay for the work in." Ready for a reset that actually sticks? We sit down with Gabby, a newly certified yoga teacher who rebuilt her life through micro actions, intentional discomfort, and a fierce commitment to self-compassion. From isolation and numbing habits to losing 100 pounds and training for Hyrox, her story blends practical tools with a powerful mindset shift: choose hard things safely, build agency one rep at a time, and let stillness reveal what you truly want. We dig into identity, the courage to pivot after years of graduate studies, and why critical thinking matters in wellness—especially for women. Yoga becomes the gateway to listening inward: breath-led movement, accessible options, and the wisdom of “come for the workout, stay for the work in.” Then we get tactical. Strength training, mobility, cardio, and toe speed emerge as the four pillars of longevity, helping you stay independent, capable, and vibrant for decades. We challenge the resurgence of “skinny” culture and the myth that salads and endless cardio sculpt the look many chase. Instead, we talk fueling, refeeding, and how muscle turns food into power, energy, and confidence. You’ll hear how to carve durable habits—think machete through the forest—and why celebrating resistance strengthens both body and mind. We cover burnout boundaries, the role of supportive relationships, and the crucial difference between pain and the fear of pain. The closing lesson is simple and uncompromising: nothing good grows from self-hatred. Self-compassion, presence, and agency are the soil of change. If you’re ready to lift heavier, breathe deeper, and own your choices, press play, subscribe, and tell us the one micro action you’ll take today.

    #136 - Flexible Discipline: A Calm, Joyful Guide To Holiday Wellness

    Holiday wellness doesn’t have to be a pendulum swing between rigid rules and total abandon. We walk you through a practical, human approach to December that keeps your energy steady, your joy intact, and your schedule focused on what actually matters. It’s about flexible discipline: a strong start to the day, room for the cookies at night, and the clarity to say no to what drains you. We begin by setting a clear intention for an unrushed season. Together we prioritize top-tier traditions, move obligation invites to January, and build breathing room by knocking out small tasks early. From there, we switch to intuitive eating with a simple rule of thumb—front-load nutrients so you arrive at gatherings present, not starving—then choose what looks delicious and savor it slowly. No guilt, no labels, just curiosity and connection. Movement becomes easier when you anchor mornings with light, hydration, and a condensed workout. We offer ways to shift training earlier in the week, shorten sessions without losing momentum, and weave in seasonal activity like skating, dancing, and tree-cutting. Sleep gets the same realistic treatment: flexible bedtimes supported by power naps, gentle wind-downs, and micro-joys that transform getting ready into a ritual. If you’re balancing family dynamics, we talk about picking your battles so peace wins over perfection. By the end, you’ll have a simple framework to enjoy every party and still feel strong in January. If this helped, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves the holidays, and leave a quick review so more people can build a calm, joyful season with us.

    #135 - 3 Dates a Day Keep the Wrinkles Away

    What if the path to better skin, calmer energy, and stronger workouts starts with a fruit you can hold in your hand? We dive into the sweet, practical world of dates—how different varieties can brighten your glow, nourish your gut, and stabilize your mood while giving you clean, fast fuel for training. We connect ancient wisdom to everyday choices. Red jujube dates from Traditional Chinese Medicine support qi, that steady life force behind mental clarity, stamina, and emotional resilience. Ajwa dates bring serious antioxidant power for heart and brain health, while Medjool and Deglet Noor deliver fiber and quick, digestible carbs that help balance blood sugar and keep your colon happy. Along the way, we share simple habits that make a real difference: a daily red date, a pre-workout Medjool, and an easy way to rotate varieties so you benefit from each fruit’s strengths. Expect practical food ideas without the fuss. Learn how to build “creatine cookies” with oats, protein, and chopped dates for an effortless morning grab-and-go. Try date bark with nut butter, dark chocolate, and sea salt when you want a treat that satisfies. If you love chia pudding, level it up with black sesame seeds and berries for a nutrient-dense bowl that supports hormones and skin from the inside out. This is about micro actions that fit your life and compound over time—no wellness overwhelm, just consistent, delicious steps forward. If this conversation sparks a new habit or gives you a smarter pre-workout plan, share it with a friend who needs a gentle nudge toward steady energy and better health.

    #134 - When Your Results Don't Seem to Match Your Effort

    Ever feel like you’re grinding without getting anywhere? We unpack the gap between effort and results and show how to close it with a smarter, foundation‑first approach. Instead of telling you to push harder, we walk through the levers that actually move the needle: aligned nutrition, strategic recovery, quality sleep, and stress regulation that makes your body feel safe enough to adapt. We start with nourishment and an honest audit of macros and calories. Low protein, inconsistent carbs, and hidden underfueling can stall strength, energy, and body composition even when you’re eating “clean.” You’ll hear how dialing in protein at each meal, timing complex carbs around training, and hitting a realistic calorie target unlocks performance and recovery. Then we shift to movement and recovery strategy: why not every day should be a “savage day,” how mobility and skill work fortify your lifts and runs, and why rest days are the key to long‑term gains rather than a setback. From there, we dig into sleep as the master reset. Late caffeine, blue light, and inconsistent bedtimes sabotage deep sleep, making workouts feel heavier and progress slower. Learn simple changes—caffeine cutoffs, morning light, calmer pre‑sleep routines—that produce clearer mornings and faster adaptation. Finally, we address stress as a performance variable. Chronic tension and a wired nervous system hold back muscle gain, amplify soreness, and drain motivation. With practical tools for boundaries, breath, and somatic awareness, you can create the conditions where your hard work pays off. If your last six months haven’t delivered the progress you expected, don’t scrap the plan—tweak it. Subscribe, share this with a friend who trains hard, and leave a review telling us which pillar you’re fixing first. Your small changes today are the compounding wins you’ll feel next month.

    #133 - A Guide to Making Friends in Your 30's

    The calendar is full, the habits are dialed, and the goals are moving… yet there’s a quiet ache for people who truly get you. We dive into the art and practice of building community on purpose, turning small, everyday moments into friendships that feel steady, expansive, and deeply alive. From the first hello to the brave invite, you’ll hear a clear roadmap for going beyond surface-level interactions and creating circles that actually support your health and happiness. I share how returning to a local yoga studio sparked unexpected connections, why being a regular matters more than charisma, and how micro actions like compliments and curious questions compound into trust. We explore the power of aligned spaces—gyms, hiking groups, beginner classes, and niche meetups—so you can “date around” and find your people without forcing it. You’ll learn how to navigate the awkward middle, iterate after mismatches, and keep your energy open so the right humans can find you too. We also get real about what often doesn’t work. Traditional networking can feel transactional when you’re craving depth. Instead, we walk through building supportive professional circles through group coaching, conferences, and thoughtful online connections that move beyond emojis into honest exchange and shared growth. Finally, we reframe community as a mosaic: different circles for different facets of you—fitness, creativity, spirituality, and craft—so you don’t need one group to be everything. If you’re ready to feel seen, supported, and challenged in the best way, press play and take one small step today. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s seeking their people, and leave a review telling us the first place you’ll show up as a regular. Your next great friendship might be one hello away.

    #132 - Being Committed Without Being Neurotic

    Missed deadlines, holiday chaos, and the tug-of-war with your own mind don’t have to derail your goals. We dig into a kinder, stronger way to keep momentum: set a clear minimum standard you’ll meet almost every time, then flex on purpose when life actually demands it. This isn’t about rigidity or hustle bravado; it’s about thoughtful choices that respect your health, energy, and purpose without turning you into a robot. We start with the real talk: standards are promises you make to yourself—sleep, strength, zone five cardio, morning light, nourishing meals, meaningful work—and they only matter when you live them. You’ll hear practical examples for shift workers, travelers, and busy holiday schedules, including how to turn a post‑red‑eye morning into a win, build a quick hotel workout with minimal gear, and design “anchors” like protein and vegetables that keep nutrition steady while you still enjoy the cookies. We also map where to flex: late holiday nights, one chosen evening for drinks, and making space for rest so you return stronger instead of burned out. Along the way, we show how to end the exhausting mental negotiations that sabotage consistency. Decide in calm, act in chaos: pre‑write your exceptions, define what “extraordinary” actually means, and stop letting low motivation pose as an emergency. Action builds self‑respect; self‑respect fuels more action. If you’re ready to drop the guilt, keep your word, and feel proud of how you move through the season, this one’s your playbook. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a calm reset, and leave a quick review so more growth‑minded humans can find us. Then tell us: what’s one standard you’ll keep, no matter what? Follow Well With Michelle on Apple, Spotify or where ever you listen to podcasts! Shoot me an email hello@stilecoaching.com.

    #131 - Morning Routines, Rhythms and Rituals

    What if the first five to fifteen minutes after you wake quietly decide your focus, mood, and follow-through? We dive into mornings as a powerful choice point, swapping rigid checklists for micro acts of self-respect that align who you want to be with what you actually do. Instead of chasing someone else’s “perfect” routine, we start with a simple prompt—how do I want to feel today?—and build from there. You’ll hear a range of real routines that work in the wild: stepping outside at sunrise with a quick journal, a flexible menu of movement options for high-energy mornings, a pre-kid workout that protects patience for the day ahead, a night-shift parent who weaves family breakfast into recovery, and even the intentional half-hour of guilt-free lying-in that ends revenge bedtime procrastination. Each example shows the same principle: intention beats circumstance, and small, repeatable actions create a durable rhythm. We also connect the dots on the science. Early daylight anchors circadian rhythm for better sleep, steadier hunger cues, and brighter mood. Morning hydration repairs overnight loss and can carry an intention that makes routine feel meaningful. Breath work calms the nervous system, and movement that matches your energy—heavy lifts, brisk walks, or a gentle flow—signals identity and sets your cognitive state. Add a brief gratitude practice to engage the reticular activating system, and your brain starts finding more of what you want to cultivate. If your mornings feel scrambled, shrink the ambition and increase the meaning. Choose one feeling to create tomorrow, pick two small actions that evoke it, and protect them with simple boundaries like phone-after-water or no 7 a.m. calls on walk days. Expectation must match action, and action must match your season. If this resonated, tap follow, share with a friend who’s rebuilding their routine, and leave a review—what feeling will you choose tomorrow?
