    Episode 615 - Our Best Year Ever… And Why We’re Still Changing Everything in 2026

    2025 was our biggest year yet — in business, growth, and momentum. And it was also one of the most challenging. In this honest, behind-the-scenes conversation, we’re talking about what most people don’t see when growth is happening: • What actually made 2025 our best year ever • The wins we’re incredibly proud of • The pressure, stretch, and hard decisions that came with success • What growth forced us to confront — personally and professionally • What we’re leaving behind (even after “winning”) • What we’re intentionally taking into 2026 This isn’t a highlight reel. And it’s not a burnout story either. It’s a real conversation about evolution — because growth doesn’t just expand your results, it challenges your identity, your boundaries, and how you lead. If you’re ending the year grateful and reflective — celebrating wins while questioning what comes next — this episode is for you. . 💛 Ready to take the next step? If this conversation resonated and you’re thinking about what your next level looks like, here are a few ways we can support you: 1️⃣ Become a Certified Holistic Nutrition & Health Coach specializing in weight loss — and learn how to confidently help any client create real, sustainable transformation. 👉 https://www.fitchicksacademy.com/hwlebrochure 2️⃣ Step into your role as a Holistic Perimenopause & Menopause Coach and support women 40+ through one of the most powerful transitions of their lives. 👉 https://fitchicksacademy.com/menopause 3️⃣ Get new meal plans, recipes, coaching tools, and ready-to-use social content every month inside the Coaches Club. 👉 https://fitchicksacademy.com/coachclub 4️⃣ Access 11+ done-for-you programs and courses designed to save you time and help you grow your coaching business faster. 👉 https://fitchicksacademy.com/shop

    Episode 614 - The End-of-Year Nutrition Reset: How to Finish Strong Without Starting Over

    Most women hit November and immediately say, “I’ll get back on track in January.” But what if that mindset is the very thing that keeps you stuck — every single year? In this episode, we’re breaking down why waiting for January actually makes your health journey harder… and how a simple end-of-year reset can change everything before the new year even starts. This isn’t about restriction, perfection, or pretending the holidays aren’t busy. It’s about shifting your approach so you can feel grounded, energized, and in control — without starting over from scratch every January. We’re sharing a powerful mindset and nutrition framework we use with women inside FIT CHICKS Academy to help them end the year strong instead of checking out. If you’ve ever felt like you “lose yourself” between November and January, this conversation will change the way you think about this season forever. Listen now and learn how to reset your body, your habits, and your momentum in a way that actually feels doable — even during the busiest time of the year. 💛 Ready to take the next step?

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things — in your health, your business, your life — but still not seeing results, it’s time to simplify. These are the five simple daily habits that completely changed everything for me. They helped me lose 50 pounds, build a multi–7-figure coaching business, and create a life that feels strong, calm, and completely aligned.

They’re the same foundation I’ve used to help thousands of women transform their bodies, their mindset, and their careers through holistic health coaching. They’re not complicated.

Inside this episode, I’m sharing how I use each of these habits to stay consistent, grow through challenges, and keep expanding in every area of life — from health, to business, to relationships. So whether you’re a coach helping clients change their lives, or you’re ready to start coaching yourself on a deeper level — this episode will show you exactly how small daily actions create unstoppable momentum. If you’re ready to get unstuck, find your spark again, and show up as the woman your future self (and your clients) will thank you for — this episode is your roadmap. 💛 Ready to take the next step?

    Episode 610 - The Part of the Weight Loss Journey That No One Tells You About

    You can't out-diet an identity. And you can't out-coach a limiting belief. Read that again. Your clients can have the perfect macros, the cleanest meal plan, the best workout routine—but if they still identify as "someone who always fails" or "someone with no willpower," their brain will sabotage them every single time. This is why your clients are stuck in the cycle: Start strong → fall off track → feel like a failure → start again → repeat. And you're left wondering: "Why isn't my program working? What am I missing?" Here's the truth: You're not missing better meal plans. You're missing the other 50%. In this episode, I'm breaking down: The 50/50 weight loss formula (METHOD + MINDSET)What identity actually is and how it controls your clients' choicesWhy your clients' brains are wired to keep them stuckThe exact 5-step process to help clients shift their identity and create lasting change This is the weight loss conversation no one else is having. And it's the missing piece that transforms your coaching. Ready to help your clients rewrite their story?
