    154. The Words I Listen For Before We Ever Talk Macros

    Your words are either building the life you want, or quietly talking you out of it. You've got the plan. You know what to eat, you know you should be moving your body, you know what needs to happen. So why does it feel like something keeps getting in the way? The answer might be hiding in the exact words you use every day without even noticing. After 10 years of coaching, I've learned to hear what my clients aren't saying - the beliefs buried underneath words like "can't," "just," and "overwhelmed" that silently sabotage progress before it even starts. In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on how I actually read my clients' minds, why most fitness coaching stops too short, and how the language you use to talk about your goals reveals exactly what you believe is possible for you. 🎧 Tune in and let me know on IG which word hit closest to home for you. @marissaroyfitness Want coaching that goes deeper than macros and step goals?

    153. Discipline vs. Disordered with Laurin Conlin

    One study says never train two days in a row. A viral clip says your morning coffee is the reason you've gained weight. Someone in the comments is screaming that a food scale is disordered. Meanwhile, you're a busy human with 30 minutes, a full plate, and a quiet voice asking, "Am I doing this wrong?"  This week on the PCC Podcast, I sat down with Laurin Conlin, IFBB Bikini Pro, owner of Redefine Healthy Brands, and someone who has lived in both worlds. She holds a bachelor's and master's in exercise science, has published research on flexible dieting and weight regain, and has spoken nationally and internationally on nutrition, mindset, and fitness entrepreneurship. She's now finishing her master's in clinical mental health counseling, working with clients in residential eating disorder and substance use treatment. In this episode, we talk about: 🔹 Why the same tool (like tracking your food) can be harmful for one person and healing for another 🔹 What eating disorder treatment taught her about structure vs. flexibility 🔹 Why acceptance isn't complacency, and how it helps you stop fighting reality 🔹 How to figure out what you actually want vs. what you keep saying you want 🔹 Why "try it on" beats "get it perfect," plus how to make decisions in your current season of life 🔹 Her thoughts on GLP-1s, nuance, and the quick-fix mindset If you've ever felt stuck between "optimal" and "realistic," this one's for you.  You can find Laurin on IG @laurinconlin

    152. The Pelvic Floor with Dr. Jessica London

    Your pelvic floor plays a role in far more than you might realize - and yet, most women don't learn much about it until something feels wrong. I sat down with Dr. Jessica London, PT, DPT, a pelvic floor physical therapist and specialist who works with pregnant and postpartum women virtually through Your Postpartum PT & Wellness. Together, we unpacked what pelvic floor health actually looks like, why postpartum recovery is so much more nuanced than a six-week “you're cleared to exercise” appointment, and how the pelvic floor connects to everything from strength training and breathing to the nervous system, stress, pain, and even our ability to relax and release. Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, planning to have children someday, or simply want to better understand your body, this conversation is packed with information that challenges outdated ideas and gives you a much more holistic view of pelvic health. 🎧 Tune in to this special episode and let us know what you learned!

    151. Jenalyn’s 3.5 Year Journey with PCC

    What if the biggest transformation isn’t the number on the scale, but finally learning to trust yourself? After years of starting over, fearing calories, and falling into an all-or-nothing mindset, Jenalyn has completely changed the way she approaches her health and fitness. In this special episode of the PCC Podcast, I sit down with Jenalyn to talk about her 3½-year journey with PCC; from joining a $100 holiday challenge in 2022 to becoming stronger than she’s ever been, competing in races, and ultimately graduating from coaching with the confidence that she can continue doing it on her own. In this episode, Jenalyn shares: ✨ What finally helped her break out of the all-or-nothing mindset. ✨ How tracking became a tool for awareness instead of something to fear. ✨ Why she’s no longer afraid of calories and actually sees food as fuel. ✨ How she learned to make progress even when she couldn't control her environment. ✨ What it feels like to become the person she once only hoped she could be. ✨ Why investing in yourself can change far more than your body. Her story is a powerful reminder that sustainable transformation isn't about being perfect. It's about building the skills, habits, and self-trust that allow you to keep moving forward, even when life isn't perfect. 🎧 Tune in to hear Jenalyn's story and let me know what takeaway resonates with you most.
