    Question 12: Do I Have to Lift Weights, or Can I Just Walk?

    In this episode, I dig into the difference between walking for endurance and lifting for strength. I’ll share Sarah’s story (my client who was the queen of 10,000 steps but couldn’t carry her groceries upstairs), why I personally don’t lift for abs but for independence, and how you can start strength training without feeling like you’ve signed up for a bodybuilding competition. You’ll walk away (pun intended) with 3 simple, doable steps to start building strength in a way that actually fits into your life.

    Question 11: Do I Really Need to Count Calories to Lose Weight?

    In this episode, I’m answering the big question so many people ask when trying to get healthier:“Do I Really Need to Count Calories to Lose Weight?” We’ll break down what calorie counting actually is, why it can work—but why it’s not the only (or best) path for everyone. I share a real client story of someone who was counting every bite and still not seeing results, and I get personal about why I don’t count calories anymore—because it made food feel like math instead of fuel and joy. Just a real, down-to-earth conversation about fueling your body without obsessing over numbers.

    Ever feel like your brain is screaming “let’s go!” but your body is parked on the couch in full potato mode? Yeah, same. In this episode of One Question, we’re unpacking what’s really behind that stuck feeling. Spoiler: it’s not laziness.

This is real-life strategy for real-life people. Come as you are, leave with a small win that actually feels doable today.

    Question 8: I Don't Have Time to Work Out, Now What?

    Because if one more person tells you to “just make time,” you're going to scream! This episode is for those juggling all the things - work, kids, chaos, and the occasional meltdown (yours or theirs). We’re breaking down what to do when your schedule is packed tighter than your laundry basket and how to stop waiting for “the perfect time.” You’ll walk away with zero shame, a little laughter, and a couple of real-world strategies to get movement into your day without overhauling your life. You don’t need 60 minutes and a yoga mat. You just need 5 minutes and a plan that doesn’t suck.

    Question 7: What if I Can't Trust Myself Around Food?

    You know that snack you “can’t be trusted” around? Yeah, we’re talking about that one. In this episode of One Question, we’re diving into why certain foods seem to have a magnetic hold over us — and why it’s not about willpower (spoiler: your brain is doing exactly what it was wired to do). We’ll talk about why restriction leads to obsession, what science says about food guilt, and how to rebuild trust with food one bite at a time — without hiding chocolate in the laundry room. You’ll also hear a real-life story about Jess and her infamous chocolate-covered almonds that just might sound a little too familiar. If you’ve ever said, “I can’t keep that in the house or I’ll eat the whole thing,” this episode is for you. No shame, no diets, just real talk, a few laughs, and some solid takeaways to help you feel normal around food again!

    Question 6: Can I Really Eat What I Want and Still be Healthy?

    Can you eat pizza, love carbs, skip the kale smoothie, and still be healthy? YES. In this episode, I break down the myth that health only lives in grilled chicken and broccoli. We’ll talk food freedom, ditch the diet guilt, and get real about what "balance" actually looks like. Health isn’t about perfection—it’s about patterns. Let’s make food feel less like math homework and more like...life!

    Question 5: How Do I Actually Stay Consistenct?

    Ah, consistency—we all know we need it, but somehow, it’s harder to hold onto than your willpower at a dessert table. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in an endless loop of “starting over Monday,” this episode is for you. We’re diving into why consistency feels so damn hard (hint: it’s not because you ‘lack willpower’), plus three real, doable ways to finally make it stick. No gimmicks, no perfection, just strategies that work for actual, busy, human people. So if you’re tired of feeling stuck, hit play—I’ve got you!
