    Ep 54 - How Many Calories Should I Eat? Make Sure You Know This One Number

    Calories often get a bad rap, but they’re not the enemy. In fact, understanding them is key to feeling your best and reaching your health goals.   In this episode, I explain how to find your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). This number determines how many calories your body burns in a day, and why it’s so important for sustainable fat loss, muscle gain, and maintaining your energy.   If you’ve ever felt like you’re eating healthy but not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why.   You'll learn:   🔸 How to determine your calorie needs   🔸 What TDEE is (and why it matters for your goals)   🔸 How your age, height, weight, and activity level affect your metabolism and calorie needs   🔸 Why starting with the “sedentary” activity level can give you an eye-opening perspective   🔸 Why plateaus happen during weight loss and what to do about them   🔸 How to avoid losing muscle and slowing your metabolism   🔸 What a healthy calorie deficit really looks like   🔸 How to build calorie awareness without falling into obsession   You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how your metabolism works, how activity and muscle play a major role, and how to make informed nutrition choices that fit your lifestyle, without restrictive dieting.   If you’re ready to stop guessing and start making progress, this episode will help you connect the dots between calories, metabolism, and lasting results.   Want to calculate your TDEE manually? Here's how to do it.   First, calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation:   • Women: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) – 5 × age (y) – 161 • Men: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) – 5 × age (y) + 5   That gives you your BMR — the calories your body burns just to stay alive.   Then, to estimate your TDEE, multiply that number by your activity level: • Sedentary (very little movement): × 1.2 • Lightly active (light exercise 1–3 days/week): × 1.375 • Moderately active (3–5 days/week): × 1.55 • Very active (6–7 days/week): × 1.725 • Extremely active (physical job + hard exercise): × 1.9   The result is your estimated Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) — roughly how many calories you burn in a day.   Ready to take this even further?

    Ep 53 - Shorter Days Got You Down? Cozy Up with These Healthy Hygge Habits

    Colder days and darker evenings used to leave me feeling drained, discouraged, and desperate for spring. But not anymore! And in this episode, I’m sharing exactly what changed.   When I discovered the concept of hygge (pronounced HOO-gah), it helped me to reframe winter completely. Instead of just pushing through the season, I learned how to create a cozy, intentional lifestyle that actually supports my energy, mood, and well-being. (Thanks, Meik Wiking!)   But here’s the thing... not all hygge habits are healthy. And if we’re not intentional, it’s easy to slip into patterns that leave us feeling more sluggish than restored.   In this episode, I’m walking you through five key areas where you can embrace healthy hygge—habits that are both comforting and energizing... so you can make this season one of the most nourishing times of the year.   You'll learn:   🔸 What hygge actually is (and how it explains why Denmark is so happy, despite dark winters)   🔸 Why cozy doesn’t have to mean checked out, and healthy doesn’t have to mean hustle   🔸 How to create a home environment that soothes your nervous system... simply   🔸 Nourishing food and warm drinks that feel indulgent but actually support your energy   🔸 A funny story about “coma in a bowl” and what it taught me about comfort food gone too far   🔸 The power of movement and outdoor time to enhance the cozy factor, not take away from it   🔸 The role of mindfulness, rest, and screen-free moments in boosting your mood   🔸 Why true connection is about quality, not quantity, and how to find more of it this season   If you tend to feel a little off as the days get shorter... or if you just want to feel better, more grounded, and more energized this winter... this episode is for you. 🕯️   Ready to take this even further? If you’d like help creating healthier habits, building routines that actually work, and designing a lifestyle that supports your well-being, I’d love to work with you.

    Ep 51 - The Martyr Trap: How Neglecting Yourself Hurts Everyone (An Example from My Own Life)

    Have you ever caught yourself putting everyone else’s needs before your own... only to end up tired, resentful, and frustrated? It feels noble in the moment, but there’s a hidden cost. Today I’m sharing a personal story from my own life that shows how playing the martyr role actually hurts everyone involved, including the people we love most.   In this episode, you’ll discover:   🔸 What the martyr complex is and why it’s so destructive   🔸 How unnecessary self-sacrifice leads to resentment, guilt, and disconnection   🔸 The difference between true generosity and giving from obligation   🔸 Why self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential for healthy relationships   🔸 Practical ways to be authentic and honest about your needs so everyone wins   If you’ve ever struggled with self-care guilt, caregiver burnout, or the feeling that you’re always giving but never refueling, this episode will help you see things in a new light. You’ll walk away with both encouragement and clarity on how to stop playing the martyr, and and start showing up with more energy, patience, and true generosity.   Tune in to learn how to let go of guilt, honor your needs, and give from a place of wellness, not depletion.   Interested in coaching?

    Ep 50 - Protein Imposters: Foods You Think Are High-Protein (But Aren’t)

    Think you’re eating plenty of protein? You might be surprised.   So many foods are considered “great protein sources,” but when you look closely, most of the calories are actually coming from fat or carbs. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on some of the biggest offenders — foods that look protein-rich but tell a different story when you compare them calorie for calorie with a lean protein source like chicken breast.   You'll learn:   🔸 Why cheese is more of a fat source than a protein source (and what to swap it with)   🔸 The real story behind ground beef labels like “93% lean,” and why they can be misleading   🔸 Eggs vs egg whites — how to get the nutrients you want without the extra calories   🔸 Why nuts and nut butters aren’t the protein bombs you’ve been told they are   🔸 Protein bars: how to spot the ones that are basically candy bars in disguise   The goal isn’t to cut out these foods completely. It’s to understand what you’re really eating so you can build balanced meals that support your energy, your workouts, and your goals.   Protein doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require a little awareness. Let’s dive in!   🎧 Listen now and learn how to avoid these common protein mistakes.   Interested in coaching? Click ➡️ here.   Enjoying the podcast?

    Ep 48 - Sustainable Healthy Eating: Balancing Food for Fuel and Food for Enjoyment

    Do you ever feel like eating healthy means giving up all the fun? Or like enjoying food means throwing your health out the window? The truth is, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to balance food for fuel and food for enjoyment so you can build a healthy lifestyle that actually lasts.   I’ll walk you through three simple categories of food and the lessons we can learn from each. When you understand these categories, it becomes easier to create balance, avoid strict restriction followed by binge eating, and enjoy food while still working toward your health goals.   You'll learn:   🔸 What "food for fuel" is and why not every meal has to be the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten   🔸 How "food for enjoyment" can fit into a healthy lifestyle without derailing your progress   🔸 Why some people thrive with flexible restraint while others do better with complete avoidance   🔸 The importance of finding the "sweet spot" of meals that are both delicious and nutrient-dense   🔸 How taste buds adapt over time and healthy food can actually become more satisfying   By the end, you’ll have a clear framework to help you eat for energy, enjoy food without guilt, and discover a sustainable way of eating that works long term.   Interested in coaching?

    Ep 47 - Why Willpower Fails You (and What to Do About It)

    Have you ever wondered why your willpower seems to vanish right when you need it the most? You start the day with good intentions, but by evening you’re exhausted and reaching for snacks, skipping workouts, or putting off the things that matter most.   In this episode, I’m breaking down why willpower fails and what we can do about it. You’ll learn simple, practical strategies to conserve willpower so you don’t have to rely on it all the time — because the truth is, willpower is limited, and there’s nothing wrong with you if yours runs out.   You'll learn:   🔸 How willpower really works, and why it’s normal for it to fade throughout the day   🔸 The common conditions that drain your self-control faster than you realize   🔸 Four powerful strategies to protect your willpower: environment design, routines and habits, planning ahead, and automation   🔸 Why taking care of your body and mind actually replenishes willpower, creating a positive cycle of energy and consistency   🔸 How to set up your future self for success so that healthy choices feel easier, not harder   If you’ve ever felt frustrated because you couldn’t “stick with it,” this episode will reassure you that nothing is wrong with you — and it will show you how to design your life in a way that doesn’t depend on willpower to keep you moving forward.   I’m wishing you the best as you build healthy and productive habits that make life easier, not harder. 🙌   Interested in coaching?
