  1. Why Your Cleaning Products Are Making You Sick: The Truth About Toxins | ft. Kelly Love

    Why Your Cleaning Products Are Making You Sick: The Truth About Toxins | ft. Kelly Love

    What if the products you're using to clean your home, wash your clothes, and freshen the air are the very things quietly disrupting your hormones, draining your energy, and keeping you from feeling your best? In this episode, I sit down with one of the co-founders of Branch Basics, a non-toxic cleaning company that's helping families across the country ditch harmful chemicals and create healthier homes. This conversation is eye-opening, practical, and full of simple swaps you can make today that will actually change how you feel. We dive into the real story behind Branch Basics: how a college friend's debilitating pain, PCOS, and thousands of ovarian cysts led to the discovery that what we spray, wash, and breathe in our homes matters more than we think. From fragrance and cleaning products to laundry detergent and pesticides, we break down the hidden chemicals lurking in everyday products and how they're affecting our hormones, our fertility, our skin, our sleep, and even our kids. If you've ever felt like something was off but couldn't figure out why, or you've been wanting to make the switch to cleaner products but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you. Your home should be your safe haven. The place where your body restores, repairs, and thrives. Let's make that happen. _____ About Branch Basics: Branch Basics is a non-toxic cleaning company co-founded by three women passionate about helping people live healthier lives. Their mission is simple: remove harmful chemicals from your home with safe, effective, and easy-to-use products. Their hero product is a plant-based concentrate that replaces dozens of conventional cleaners, making the switch to non-toxic living simple and affordable.

  2. Wedding Planning & Relationship Real Talk: Valentine’s Q&A with Ian

    FEB 11

    Wedding Planning & Relationship Real Talk: Valentine’s Q&A with Ian

    What if the secret to a lasting relationship isn't perfection, but choosing each other every single day, even when life gets messy, busy, and blended? In this Valentine's Day episode, Ian and I are pulling back the curtain on our relationship: how we keep the spark alive, navigate life as a blended family, handle conflict, blend finances, and stay best friends through it all. We're also giving you a wedding update: From our venue and vision to the design details, music, florals, and why we're skipping the traditional bridal party. We answer your most-asked relationship questions: How do we deal with routine changes when we have the kids versus when we don't? How often should intimacy happen to keep things healthy? What do we protect in our relationship as life gets busier? And the big one: how do you get your partner more aligned with a wellness lifestyle when they're just not interested? This conversation is honest, real, and full of the little things that actually matter. From over-communicating instead of guessing to never stopping dating each other, protecting each other's inner child during conflict, and why leading by example is more powerful than forcing change. We're sharing what's working for us and what we've learned the hard way. We also talk about Valentine's Day, why we don't go out on the actual day, how we celebrate love with our kids, and why romance looks different for everyone. Plus, a rapid-fire round that gets into who apologizes first, who's more dramatic when hungry, and who steals all the blankets (spoiler: it's me). If you're in a relationship, building one, or just want to believe that healthy love is still possible, this episode is for you. Love isn't about having it all figured out. It's about showing up, compromising, communicating, and choosing each other over and over again. _____ Sam's LINKS:https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7-day trial*https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide:https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs:https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs Follow Sam:Insta: @samcfit_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine _____ Just ThriveSave 20% off your first order at https://justthrivehealth.com/SAMCFIT  with code SAMCFIT Lagoon Go to https://LagoonSleep.com/SAMCFIT and use code SAMCFIT for 15% off your first purchase.

  3. This Gut Health Truth Is Changing Everything for Women | ft. Tina Anderson

    FEB 4

    This Gut Health Truth Is Changing Everything for Women | ft. Tina Anderson

    What if the bloating, fatigue, skin issues, and brain fog you've been dealing with aren't separate problems at all, but symptoms of one root cause you've been overlooking? In this episode, I sit down with Tina Anderson, attorney-turned-entrepreneur and co-founder of Just Thrive, a research-based gut health company that's completely disrupting the probiotic industry. Tina spent years in the pharmaceutical world before realizing that Western medicine was focused on treating symptoms, not preventing disease or addressing root causes. We dive deep into why gut health is more compromised now than ever before: From glyphosate in our food supply to antibiotics, stress, and antimicrobial overload. Tina breaks down what's really happening in your gut when you experience bloating, irregular digestion, skin issues, mood swings, and low energy. She explains leaky gut, how probiotics actually work and why most don't. This conversation is honest, educational, and empowering. We talk about why your gut is the foundation for everything—from your immune system and hormones to your mental health and energy levels. Tina also shares why every person should be on a spore-based probiotic, how to support your kids' gut health, the role of digestive bitters, and what it really takes to heal your gut in a world that's constantly working against it. If you've ever felt like something was "off" but couldn't figure out why, or you've tried everything and still aren't seeing results, this episode will give you answers. Your gut isn't just part of your health. It is your health. _____ About Tina Anderson:Tina Anderson is an attorney, former pharmaceutical executive, and co-founder of Just Thrive, a research-based gut health company specializing in spore-based probiotics. After years in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina saw the need for a more preventative, root-cause approach to health—and built a company focused on empowering people to take control of their wellness through gut health. Just Thrive is known for its clinically studied products, transparency, and commitment to real results.

    Day in the life: How I balance work, fitness and family

    What if the secret to feeling more productive, centered, and present isn't doing more, but structuring your day with intention? In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my full day: from my 5 a.m. wake-up to my nighttime wind-down routine. This isn't a highlight reel. It's the real, unfiltered look at how I balance being a mom, running a business, training for a 70.3, creating content, coaching clients, and showing up for my family. All while protecting my energy and staying grounded. I walk you through my non-negotiables: my morning meditation and red light routine, how I structure my workouts, what I actually eat in a day, how Ian and I work together without losing our minds, and why time blocking has completely changed my life. I also share how I stay off my phone when the kids get home, my supplement lineup, why I don't lift in the morning, and the nighttime rituals that help me sleep better and wake up ready. This episode is honest, detailed, and full of the little habits that actually make a difference. From protein coffee and chia seed pudding to mouth tape and magnesium before bed, I'm breaking down what works for me, and why I believe structure creates freedom. If you've ever wondered how to build a routine that supports your goals without burning you out, this episode will give you a real blueprint. You don't need to do it all. You just need to do what matters: consistently. _____ Sam's LINKS:https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7-day trial*https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide:https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs:https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs   Follow Sam:Insta: @samcfit_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine _____ FondGet 10% off your one-time order with code SAMCFIT.

    From Blogging to Beauty Empire: How Courtney Shields Built Dibs Beauty

    What if the fear of not being enough, the pressure to have it all figured out, and the weight of past trauma were actually the very things keeping you from becoming who you're meant to be? In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Shields: content creator, founder of Dibs Beauty, wife, mom, and one of the most real, grounded voices in the wellness and beauty space. Courtney's journey is anything but linear. From blogging for three years without making a dollar to co-founding a brand now sold in every Ulta across the country, she's built her career on authenticity, grit, and a willingness to evolve. But this conversation goes so much deeper than business. We talk about the loss of her father, navigating divorce as a mom, unhealthy dating patterns, finding her soulmate on Hinge, and what it's really like to build a life rooted in faith, gratitude, and self-work. Courtney opens up about her current pregnancy, the fear and healing that came with miscarriages, and how she's learning to let go of control and lean into prayer. We also dive into relationships: the green flags that matter, what it means to find your best friend and your person, and why the inner work you do on yourself is the foundation for everything else. From beauty and confidence to boundaries, energy, and empowerment, this episode is honest, vulnerable, and so inspiring. Courtney is proof that you don't have to have it all together to keep moving forward. You just have to be willing to do the work, show up as yourself, and trust that the right things will find you when you're ready. _____ About Courtney Shields:Courtney Shields is a content creator, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Dibs Beauty, a makeup brand built on empowerment, simplicity, and putting yourself first. Known for her relatable approach to beauty, lifestyle, and motherhood, Courtney has built a loyal community by sharing the real, messy, beautiful parts of life. She's a wife, mom, and believer in doing the inner work — even when it's hard.

    The Truth About Body Recomp: Why You’re Not Seeing Results

    What if the number on the scale isn't the real measure of progress, and the fear of getting "bulky" is the exact thing keeping you from the strong, toned body you actually want? In this episode, Ian and I are breaking down everything you need to know about body recomposition: what it actually is, how to do it, and why it's one of the most empowering transformations you can make for your body and your confidence. We answer the most common questions I get in my DMs: How often should you lift? What macros should you hit? Is one leg day a week enough? Do you need to eat back your workout calories? And the big one: are you really "bulking," or is something else going on? We talk about the myth of bulky, why lifting heavy won't turn you into a bodybuilder overnight, how to structure your workouts for real results, and why you have to be eating to build muscle. We also dive into reverse dieting, protein synthesis, progressive overload, rest days, meal timing, intermittent fasting, and how to navigate vacations without derailing your progress. This conversation is honest, practical, and packed with actionable advice, whether you're brand new to lifting or you've been training for years. If you've ever felt confused about how to change your body composition, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a real plan to move forward. Body recomp isn't just about how you look. It's about how you feel, how you show up, and how you build a body that supports the life you want to live. _____ Sam's LINKS:https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7-day trial*https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide:https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs:https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs   Follow Sam:Insta: @samcfit_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine _____ FondGet 10% off your one-time order with code SAMCFIT.

    Bloom Where You’re Planted: A Navy Officer on Pressure & Defying Expectations | ft. Kellie Sbrocchi

    What does it take to serve your country, compete in pageants, build a business, and stay true to yourself — all at the same time?In this episode, I sit down with Kellie Sbrocchi — a Naval Academy graduate, active duty HR officer, pageant competitor, speaker, podcaster, and content creator. Kelly is redefining what it means to balance a demanding career while unapologetically chasing your passions. From competing in Miss California USA and Miss Ohio USA to building a platform that empowers women to embrace their multi-passionate identities, she's proving that you don't have to choose between who you are and what you do. We dive deep into her journey — from being told to stop wearing makeup at the Naval Academy to becoming a top recruiter through social media, competing in pageants while climbing the ranks, and navigating the criticism that comes with being unapologetically feminine in a male-dominated field. Kellie opens up about the pressure of being a woman in the military, the boundaries she's set to protect her marriage and mental health, and how she's learned to bloom wherever she's planted — even when life throws constant change her way. This conversation is raw, honest, and so inspiring. We talk about finding your person, setting boundaries with social media, giving yourself grace when you can't do it all, and why sometimes doing both is better than trying to balance everything. If you've ever felt torn between your career and your passions, your identity and expectations, or your dreams and your demands — this episode is for you. Kellie is proof that you can honor both. _____ About Kellie Sbrocchi:Kellie Sbrocchi is a Naval Academy graduate, active duty HR officer, model, speaker, podcaster, and content creator. She's competed in pageants including Miss California USA and Miss Ohio USA, hosted women's events, and has become known for empowering women to embrace their multi-passionate identities.

  8. How to Set Goals That Actually Last: Our Blueprint for 2026

    How to Set Goals That Actually Last: Our Blueprint for 2026

    The start of a new year often comes with big pressure — big goals, big plans, and big expectations. But how many times have you started strong in January only to feel off track or burned out by February? In this episode, I’m sharing the simple framework my partner and I use to create goals that actually stick. Instead of relying on motivation or unrealistic resolutions, we walk through a sustainable blueprint that turns intention into daily action. We start with reflection — not to judge ourselves, but to gather data. What worked last year? What felt heavy? What did we learn about ourselves, our routines, and our priorities? From there, we talk about choosing a single word or theme for the year to guide how you show up when life gets busy. We break down how to set non-negotiables — small, behavior-based habits you can follow even on your hardest days — and define what a bare minimum day looks like so you don’t fall into the all-or-nothing mindset. We also dive into the difference between motivation and discipline, why discipline creates freedom, and how setting boundaries and protecting your energy can completely change your year. Finally, I share my personal “ins and outs” and why focusing on your goals in 90-day seasons makes real change more achievable. If you’ve ever felt like New Year’s goals weren’t built for real life, this episode is your blueprint for a more grounded, intentional year ahead. _____My New Year, New Me Amazon pagehttps://amzn.to/3YGUS7ESam's LINKS:https://www.shopltk.com/explore/SamcfitEMPWR by Sam App | *free 7-day trial*https://www.empwrbysam.com/My Macro Guide:https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-onlyRunning Programs:https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs Follow Sam:Insta: @samcfit_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine_____AquaTru Head to https://AquaTru.com and get 20% off your purifier using code sam.FableticsThis is only available through my link, so go to https://Fabletics.com/SAMCFIT to sign up as a VIP and get 80% off.
