    224. Why Your Goals Aren’t Working + How to Build Real Self-Trust This Year

    New year, same cycle? You set the goals, feel fired up for a week or two, and then…you slowly fall off the wagon. Sound familiar?? If that resonates, you are NOT alone! This episode is your permission slip to stop chasing brand-new, shiny New Year’s resolutions every.freaking.year, and start building something that actually lasts: self-trust. You don’t *need* new goals - you need more belief in yourself and follow-through with what you’re already doing! Self-trust isn’t about confidence or motivation - it’s about evidence. When you repeatedly set goals that are too big, too vague, or not aligned with your real life, your brain stops believing you.  Clear, specific goals remove pressure, reduce decision fatigue, and turn intention into ACTION. Ultimately, real self-trust isn’t built in hype moments at the start of January - it’s built in the boring, everyday moments when you follow through anyway. That’s how you stop starting over (for good)!! Episode recap: Why you don’t *need* brand new goals this yearWhy you don’t trust yourself (yet) + how you can get thereHow vague goals keep you stuckA coffee shop analogy that relates to you setting specific goalsHow clarity builds self-trustKey differences in goals vs. standardsHow to set standards that build real self-trust Links/Resources: Grab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

    223. The Problem With New Year Energy + What to Do Instead

    Welcome to 2026, and a VERY different kind of January!  This episode kicks off the year by NOT feeding into the loud, exhausting “new year, new me” noise that dominates the fitness space every.single.January. Instead, we’re starting where real change actually begins: self-trust. Here’s the uncomfortable truth most people won’t say out loud - new year motivation doesn’t work. It’s emotional, seasonal, and creates a false high that feels productive without requiring real action.  January hype convinces you you’re changing before you actually do anything. January isn’t magical - nothing changes just because the calendar flips. Change only happens when YOU do! It’s not about trying harder this year - it’s about becoming the woman who follows through because it’s who she is. This month isn’t just a reset - it’s the beginning of how you show up for yourself going forward!  Episode recap: Why the “new year energy” creates a false highRealizing that January isn’t magicalRepeatedly starting over isn’t a motivation issue, but a self-trust issueWhy January goals are based on who you WISH you were7 things that actually create consistency4 action steps to help you move away from the “new year, new me” conceptWhat you can expect for the rest of this January series Links/Resources: Grab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

    222. When Growth Demands a Pivot: The Rebranding of Unf*ck Your Fitness

    I’ll be honest - recording this episode felt exciting and a little terrifying.  In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a HUGE rebrand, officially merging Kristy Castillo Fit with Unf*ck Your Fitness! If you’re someone who tends to overthink, feels very type-A, or gets overwhelmed by big pivots, you’re not alone. This rebrand felt big, scary, and also, incredibly necessary. Here’s the truth: my business was built by an older version of me that no longer exists. While my content isn’t changing, everything else is getting a major refresh, and I could NOT be more excited! The Unf*ck Your Fitness podcast changed everything. It showed me that I don’t need to “fit” into the fitness space to belong here, and it showed me what people really need when it comes to their health and fitness. This rebrand is about alignment - my personality, my values, and the mission behind this work. I’m SO grateful you’re here, and I can’t wait to help you unf*ck your fitness journey in 2026!!

    221. The Bare Minimum Is Enough: Real Talk for You This Christmas

    Christmas week can be beautiful and magical, and also… heavy, chaotic, and emotionally exhausting.  Today’s episode isn’t about protein targets, perfect workouts, or “balancing out” desserts. It’s about making your fitness a VIBE, and something that supports you (instead of draining you).  This year stretched me in ways I never expected. From serious health issues to scary moments with my kids, unexpected losses, and being forced to slow down when I didn’t want to, 2025 asked more of me than most years EVER have. Honestly? I did the bare f*cking minimum with my fitness for long stretches of time. Not because I didn’t care, but because that’s all I had. If you’re in a similar season where all YOU can do right now is the bare minimum, that is still enough!  This week, your effort might look smaller, but your intention gets to be BIGGER. It’s not about pushing harder - it’s about showing up softer, and in a way that truly supports you in this season. Episode recap: Why your Christmas week doesn’t need perfect workouts or rigid rulesMy reflection on an incredibly challenging year + how this impacted my fitnessWhy the bare f*cking minimum IS enoughPrioritizing your atmosphere over workouts3 ways to romanticize your fitness during the holidaysWhy your biggest fitness progress isn’t always physical Links/Resources: Ep. 220 | Romanticizing Your Fitness: Softness, Intention & Connection This Holiday SeasonGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

    220. Romanticizing Your Fitness: Softness, Intention & Connection This Holiday Season

    Today’s episode came to me as I was about to hop in the shower, and I started listening to a podcast about “romanticizing winter”. It’s definitely not something I would have been intrigued by in the past, but I LOVED it.  After listening, I thought “what if we romanticized our fitness journey?!” Like…I’m not a winter girlie at ALL (probably never will be), but something about softening into a season I usually resist made me think about softening into fitness, too.  And no…not toxic positivity or pretending life is “perfect”. Think more intention, emotion, and calm to something that can feel so HARSH this time of year. I don’t want December fitness to feel like pressure. I don’t need the “push harder, grind harder” vibe right now, and neither do you. This season can be chaotic AF, and you don’t need to bully yourself into hustling when your bandwidth just isn’t there. This holiday season, you don’t need more discipline. You need more connection, intention, and moments that feel GOOD!! Episode recap: Why “romanticizing your fitness” helps you soften pressure & stay consistent this seasonShifting from harsh motivation to calm & intentional energy to support your habitsThe role of emotion, beauty & reward in creating sustainable habit loopsHow soft structure reduces burnout + builds self-trust5 ways to romanticize your fitnessWhy small wins matter MOST right nowHow slowing down can actually move you forwardWhy intention > discipline during busy seasonsWhy every positive choice compounds right now Links/Resources:  Trying Not to Care Podcast | Romanticizing Winter: How to Enjoy the Holiday Season and Love Your LifeEp. 219 | Overeating During the Holidays: How to Stop the “Screw-It” Spiral + Actually Break the CycleGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

    219. Overeating During the Holidays: How to Stop the “Screw-It” Spiral + Actually Break the Cycle

    The holidays have a *special* way of bringing out those overeating habits, don’t they?  You can be totally fine all year, but then December hits and suddenly EVERYTHING feels harder. My clients feel this every single year, and honestly…I do too! When you slow down long enough to pay attention to your habits, so much clarity comes up. Most overeating isn’t about lack of willpower - it’s about stress, decision fatigue, emotions, nostalgia, and an environment full of high-reward foods.  As moms and busy women, we’re constantly cooking, shopping, hosting, working, and doing allll the things. Your brain wants relief, and food is the fastest and most familiar option. Once you understand what’s actually going on underneath the overeating, you can catch it before it spirals into the “screw it” mentality.  It’s time for you to enjoy the holidays AND stop the self-sabotage cycle. You’re capable, self-aware, and your future self is going to be so damn proud!! Episode recap: 3 core reasons we overeat during the holidays5 ways to help you make intentional choices without restrictingWhy stress, overwhelm and old patterns make this season harderHow to break the “screw it” mentality & stop restarting every MondayMindset shifts to replace guilt, shame, and all-or-nothing thinkingHow to support your goals AND enjoy the holiday season without self-sabotage Links/Resources: Grab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep BlueprintListen to the Sol Fit PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

    218. Quiet Progress Counts: Why You’re Doing Better Than You Think

    The holidays hit different, don’t they? One minute you feel like you’ve had your whole year together, and then suddenly, October and November roll in and you’re like “what the hell am I even doing?!” If that’s you, you’re NOT alone - my clients feel this every.single.year (and yep, I’ve been there too).  Honestly though? You’re doing WAY better than you think. Even if you haven’t been “perfect”, you’ve been building quiet, meaningful progress day after day. It deserves more credit than it gets! Slow progress doesn’t always look glamorous, but it freaking MATTERS. You may not “feel” ahead because you keep raising your own bar. While it’s not a bad thing to keep evolving and aiming for more, you’ve got to stop and recognize how far you’ve come! This “quiet progress” has made your entire life feel lighter, and it’s actually the most underrated part of transformation.  As you move through the holidays, remember: you don’t need a new diet, challenge, or total reinvention in January. You just need to keep building on what’s already WORKING. You’re a total badass, so don’t forget to celebrate yourself!! Episode recap: Why you’re doing way better than you thinkWhat “slow progress” actually looks like in real life + why it mattersWhy it’s hard to feel ahead when you keep raising your own barHow to collect REAL evidence of your progress this yearThe power of doing an “energy inventory” & noticing what feels lighterReflection questions to help you see how far you’ve comeWhy you don’t need to reinvent yourself in January (just build on what’s already working) Links/Resources: Ep. 217 | Simple Habits I’m Grateful For + Why They Matter Even More Right NowGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep BlueprintListen to Girls with OpinionsJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

    217. Simple Habits I’m Grateful For + Why They Matter Even More Right Now

    As much as I LOVE the cozy vibes, food, and extra family time that come with the holiday season, it can definitely knock you off your routine if you’re not paying attention. Honestly? This is the PERFECT time to check in with yourself, and get thankful for the habits that have actually carried you this year!  When it comes to habits, the reality is simple: if it’s not a habit, you’re not doing it consistently. If you’re not doing it consistently…you’re not getting results!  This time of year gets loud and messy with allll the things going on. It’s easy to forget how far you’ve come, or how many times you’ve shown up for yourself, regardless of what life throws your way. I’ve been reflecting on that a lot lately - I’ve built habits that have helped me stay grounded through one of the hardest years of my life. These habits aren’t sexy or flashy, but they’ve helped me become who I am today. Remember - you didn’t come this far just to white-knuckle your way through the holidays, or fall completely off track. You came this far because you’re a BADASS woman becoming even stronger, and I’m incredibly thankful you’re here!! Episode recap: Why your habits are the core of your fitness progress + will be there when motivation isn’tWhy you should take time to really reflect on your journey this year6 personal habits I’m grateful I’ve builtSimple ways to keep going + be practical w/your habits during the holidaysWhy the holidays aren’t a setback, but an opportunity to strengthen your habits Links/Resources: Ep. 216 | How to Train (or Not Train) During the Holidays Without Losing ProgressGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep BlueprintListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
