    How to make 2026 your best year EVER! (and not repeat your 2025 mistakes)

    GET IN. We're goal setting and planning for 2026 to make this a slam dunk year. It's time to buy yourself a new journal, reflect on 2025 and set your intentions, goals, manifestations and wants for 2026. In this episode I'm walking you through my favourite questions to ask yourself at the start of each year to capture the best moments of you past year, what you learned, liked, didn't like and what you want to change for this next year. We'll also talk about setting up habits and systems instead of just creating goals so you ACTUALLY achieve what you want this year. The journal I buy every year and love with ALL MY HEART. I usually just get a different cover every time: https://studiooh.com/products/floral-tapestry-medium-coptic-bound-journal. You can get them at indigo and on amazon too I think!

    EP 40: Why you never want to have sex (and how to fix it!!) part one

    If you've been thinking "where TF is my sex drive?!" you're in good company because TONS of women feel frustrated with how little they want to have sex. This episode is your deep dive into understanding your libido, how it works and why it's low. In part one of this episode I'm breaking down why your libido has ghosted you through a biological lens. We need to understand our cycle, hormones and the way we're wired before we talk about what you can do. Sadly, most of us were taught none of this in school (sigh) so when we have unpredictable libidos or we're not wanting sex at all, we feel like it's our fault or we've done something wrong. Hint: it's NOT your fault, and there's A LOT you can do to improve it once you understand why it's happening. In part two I go over tangible steps for exactly HOW to improve your sex drive and overall libido.

    EP 38: Why I'm Getting My Fertility Tested and Why You Should Too

    In today's episode I am breaking down how your fertility works, how it declines over time, the factors that impact fertility, why and how I'm getting my fertility tested, what I'll do if my results aren't what I'm hoping and much more! Since starting my career in women’s health and fertility, my stance on fertility testing and family planning has completely changed. The fact of the matter is that we are struggling with infertility as a society more than ever before. Working every day with women and couples who are on their fertility journey has had a life changing impact on my perspective and now, my personal decisions. Currently, as many as 1 in 5 women will struggle with infertility and sperm counts in western countries have fallen over 50% within the past 50 years. These statistics are not something to take lightly, especially if you’re like me and know you want a family someday.

    EP 37: How to Stop Hating Your Body and Feeling so Insecure on Your Fitness Journey

    It is your birthright to feel amazing in your body. You deserve to feel strong, sexy, confident, proud and comfortable in the way that you look. The problem is, most of us are not there. We feel ugly, unattractive, too fat, too skinny, too jiggly, our butt is too small, we have tummy roles and cellulite, our clothes don't fit right, the list goes on and on AND ON. So, we turn to fitness, which isn't inherently a problem on it's own. But, it becomes one (a very big one), when we approach changing our bodies and working out from a place of self-hatred, disgust and unhappiness. You want to lose weight? Great. You want to build muscle? Amazing. You reserve the right to change your body in whatever way you please that makes you feel more confident. BUT, you CANNOT beat yourself and body up to get there. We are approaching health and fitness ALL WRONG and it's causing us to have body dysmorphia, disordered eating patterns, constant anxiety, major insecurities and honestly, is just leaving us feeling miserable.  In this episode I am laying down the law when it comes to your mindset and relationship to your body while you are working towards your fitness goals. Expect to learn how to approach your fitness journey and working out in a way that makes you feel way happier in your body, less obsessive about food and what you look like, have better balance when it comes to meeting your goals and still having flexibility, why you can't trust social media influencers, concrete steps to build a healthier relationship to food and a stronger body image, and much more.

    EP 36: The Top Mistakes You're Making on Your Fat Loss Journey

    Wanting to lose weight is NOT a bad thing. You deserve to feel confident, sexy and amazing in your body, but, you CANNOT beat yourself up to get there. It's not okay to starve yourself, restrict yourself, become obsessed with food or working out and feel like your self-worth comes from what your body looks like. In this week's episode we are diving into the top mistakes you're probably making if you've been trying to lose body fat, look "toned" and tighten things up. I break down why these mistakes are so common, why we gravitate towards things that genuinely don't work long term, and what to do instead to feel amazing throughout the process of building a body you feel fabulous in.
