    197. You Think You're Not Stressed Until You Experience This. Here’s What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You

    This episode is for you if you keep telling yourself, “I’m not that stressed” but your body is saying otherwise. When I talk to my clients, especially Asian women and women of color who are first or second gen in leadership and holding a lot. They rarely say, “I’m overwhelmed.” They say things like, “It is what it is,” or “I just have a lot on my plate right now.” And in that process, they’re skipping meals, running on low energy, starting Monday feeling like they’re catching up from the week before, their brain feels foggy… and they’re wondering why they don’t feel like themselves anymore when they look in the mirror. In this episode, I’m breaking down how stress is already showing up in your day-to-day life even if you don’t label it that way and what it actually looks like to start taking care of yourself in a season where your capacity is low. Here’s what we get into: - The small habits that are actually signs you’re stressed - The first place to focus when everything feels overwhelming, so you can start getting your energy back without trying to fix your whole routine - How to regain your energy back with the time you have Grab your FREE CONSISTENCY BLUEPRINT!

    196. You’re Good at Restarting Your Weight Loss Journey So Why Do You Have 100 Before Photos

    This episode is for you if you’re really good at starting your weight loss journey but not following the plan all the way through to the finish line. If I looked at your camera roll right now, you probably have so many “before” photos from different diets and programs you’ve tried but not many “after” photos that you actually feel proud of. And it’s not because you don’t have discipline. You do. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have this many restarts. But this time around, we have to change the approach because restarting has become your comfort zone. It’s a skill you’ve been practicing for a long time, and without follow-through, you’ll keep finding yourself back in that same cycle. That’s why in this episode, I talk about how to start building the skill of maintaining momentum even when your schedule changes at the last minute, you have a birthday party on the weekend, or work gets busy. So instead of those moments throwing you off and making you start over again, you actually know how to move through them with confidence. Here’s what we get into: - How chasing a fresh start keeps you stuck and how to overcome it - How to adjust your weight loss/fitness plan when life isn’t “perfect” - What it looks like to follow through to the finish line and the mindset and habits needed Grab your FREE CONSISTENCY BLUEPRINT!

    This episode is for you if one unplanned event throughout the week throws off your entire consistency and now you’re waiting to get back on track on Monday. If this is you, chances are you haven’t learned the skill of bouncing back fast. So instead, you wait to feel better, you wait for a less busy day, you wait until you have more control over your schedule but the gap of the on/off cycles is what keeps you from seeing results. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to actually bounce back faster, I share my framework that I implement daily when sh*t goes sideways and what I teach my clients in the Forever Consistent membership and private coaching. And now you will get it too. Here’s what we get into: - Knowing your momentum starters. There’s always one specific habit in pace that holds everything together, that creates a domino effect to help you get your workout in or eat better.

    194. Is It a Waste of Time to Lose Weight Before Trying for a Baby?

    I know your brain is already thinking “Should I even try to lose weight right now OR is it just a waste of time if I’m trying for a baby?” Because I know what your brain is telling you “What’s the point of putting in all this effort if I’m just going to gain it back?” “Should I just wait until after pregnancy and do it all at once? And if you aren’t clear on the answers, it is very easy to get stuck in this in-between of wanting to feel better in your body, but also not fully committing. In this week’s episode, I walk you through how to think about these two goals differently, not as competing with each other, but as something that can actually support one another when you approach it the right way. Here’s what we get into: - Why your brain keeps telling you it’s a “waste of time” to start right now and how to redirect to the efforts that matter - How to shift your focus from the scale to how you actually want to feel before pregnancy - What most women don’t think about when it comes to “after pregnancy” and how to prepare yourself with a strong foundation - Go over a client case study on how my client lost 50 pounds after getting pregnant 2 months into private coaching with me and how we adapted her fitness/weight loss goal to support her Grab your FREE CONSISTENCY BLUEPRINT!

    193. Why Your Unique Situation Changes Everything About Weight Loss

    This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt like “This weight loss plan just doesn’t work for me because…. You’ve tried workout apps, downloading meal plans, telling yourself you’re gonna “be more consistent this time” but then the moment your schedule changes, your family needs you, your parents invite you over for dinner so now you have to switch your meals and suddenly you’re off track again. In this episode, I’m breaking down why your unique situation changes how you should approach your weight loss journey and how to succeed in it. Here’s what we get into: -Why comparing yourself to someone’s fitness plan when your lifestyle looks nothing like theirs will keep you from not finding your consistency momentum right now -How family, work, schedule, and your cultural traditions impacts your ability to follow through AND how to create a fitness/weight loss plan that adjust for those moments -The common patterns I see with high-achieving Asian women/daughters of immigrants who feel like the typical Western diets doesn’t works for them and the actual breakthrough you need.

    This episode is for you if you've always been the responsible one. You're the one everyone can count on. You show up for work, your family, your friends.

    Every month, your period shows up and suddenly, your workouts disappear with it. In this episode, I break down the mistakes that make your cycle feel like the reason you can’t stay consistent and what to change in your exercise routine so you can actually work with your body instead of fighting with it every month.

    190. How My Client Broke an 8-Month Plateau with Just a Few Tweaks

    Get ready for a client case study breakdown, this one is exciting because it’s all about plateaus (one of my absolute favorite things to coach on). One of the biggest mistakes you can make when you stall on progress is jumping from plan to plan hoping the next one will finally move the scale. But when you do that, you never actually learn why your original plan stopped working.In this episode, I share how my client K went from plateauing at her weight for 8 months to losing 8 pounds in 9 weeks while working together. And what’s crazy is… K was already consistent. She was working out 4–5x a week, eating decently well, and still stuck. I'll go over why she was experiencing this, the small tweaks we made and why her body responded so well. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I stuck even though I’m doing everything right?” these are checkpoints you're going to want to hear. Tune in: -The hidden signals her body had been giving her to stay in maintenance mode even though her effort was high -The small habit adjustments that made the biggest difference in her meals and workouts -The one area she wasn’t paying attention to that ended up creating the foundation her body needed to drop fat Join the waitlist for the Forever Consistent Membership: A place where your workouts and meals will finally stick, even during busy, low-energy, and unpredictable weeks.
