    Is Your Goal Realistic? Easy Steps to Find Out If You're Setting Yourself Up for Success or Failure

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! You have probably asked yourself the exact question I hear from women every single week. Is my goal even realistic? I recorded this episode because that one question is keeping so many of you stuck with either no goal at all or a goal so small it barely moves you. Here is the truth I unpack: it is almost never the goal that is unrealistic. It is the strategy you are using and the timeline you are giving yourself. I walk through a conversation with a former competitor who told me she just wanted to feel good, my own story of thinking I could never get back in shape after my kids, and the data that blows up the idea that your age is the reason you are stuck. In this episode I get into: Why "I just want to feel good" is a vibe, not a goalThe England analogy that changes how you look at every goal you setThe real reason people gain weight as they age (it is not what you were told)What you can control versus what you cannot, and why obsessing over the wrong things keeps you stuckHow I stay within 5 pounds of my Olympia weight at 42Why the person you become in the process is the thing that lets you keep the resultStop questioning the goal. Start questioning the plan and the timeline. If you want help figuring out what is actually realistic for your life, book a call with me in the show notes.

    Boundaries, Burnout and Why Women Are Running on Empty

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! A professional dancer brought her two-year-old to her own presentation because the toddler threw a tantrum and she could not say no. People celebrated it on social media and I could not stop thinking about how many women are living that same pattern every single day - just in quieter, less visible ways. In this Unfiltered and Unscripted episode Coach Jen and I are talking about boundaries. Not the patriarchy-blame version and not the just say no version. The real conversation about why women are burned out, resentful, and exhausted - and what boundaries actually have to do with it. In this episode, we cover: why the lack of boundaries starts as early as preschool for girls and what that conditioning costs uswhy people pleasing is a confidence problem first and a boundaries problem secondwhat resentment inside a family actually looks like and why most women refuse to name itwhy setting boundaries is not choosing work over your kids - it is choosing sanity for everyonehow boundaries act as a filter for the people in your life who only benefited from your lack of thempractical scripts for the sister who asks you to babysit for the fourth weekend in a row, the midwork mom moment, the spouse conversation, and the apology habitwhy a problem deferred is a problem amplifiedwhat age kids actually start understanding boundaries - and why it is younger than you thinkConnect with Nathalia Apply for the Powerhouse Academy Get my favorite pre-workout HERE Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Website

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! We just got back from New York for the Brazil vs Norway FIFA World Cup round of 16 on the 4th of July weekend doing 25,000 steps in diabolical Manhattan heat. And all I could think about walking through the city was the women I saw dressed head to toe in long sleeves and pants in that heat and how many of the women I speak with every single day are doing exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason. This episode is about the kind of freedom nobody talks about on the 4th of July. In this episode, we cover: the difference between financial freedom and the freedom to actually live your lifewhy you can afford the vacation but still not be present when you get therethe woman who said no to investing in herself but justified an eight thousand dollar bagwhy toxic positivity and telling women to just wear the swimsuit is emotional gaslightingwhat a family member's health limitations taught me about taking physical freedom for grantedwhy putting your kids and family first when you have not taken care of yourself is counterproductivethe question to ask yourself that has nothing to do with moneywhy coffins do not have drawers and what that has to do with your fitnessConnect with Nathalia Apply for the Powerhouse Academy Get my favorite pre-workout HERE Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Website

    What to do when where you are is ''not that bad''

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! Have you ever caught yourself saying any of these? It's not that bad. I'm probably the fittest of my friends. I look good for my age. I don't mean to be vain. If you have, this episode is about what those words actually mean - and what they are slowly costing you. In this episode, I break down why it's not that bad is where extraordinary women go to live a mediocre existence, and why the most dangerous part is that it happens so slowly nobody ever notices. In this episode, we cover: what shifting baseline syndrome is and why it explains exactly how standards slipwhy the fish population can crash by 90% and nobody panics - and what that has to do with your fitnessthe broken window theory and what one unrepaired standard does to everything around itwhy the average American gains 1.1 to 2.2 pounds per year and how that adds up to a 38% higher cancer riskthe story of Laurel - who said it's not that bad and is now playing tag with her kids for 30 minutes straight without knee painwhy Cornell research shows over half of all regret in life is regret of inactionwhy wanting to look hot is not vanity - it is the entry point to the life you actually wantwhat a 66-year-old member said about wishing she had started ten years earlierYou did not come into this world to settle.
