    2025 Reflections & Lessons

    Six years into this podcast and if I’ve learned anything, it’s this: you don’t wait until you feel ready — you start, you stumble, you cringe a little… and you keep going anyway. This year handed me some lessons I did not ask for. It stretched me, stripped me, shook things loose, and forced me to grow in ways I probably would’ve avoided if given the choice. I had to let go of what wasn’t working — in my business, in my habits, in my own mind — so I could make space for what’s next. I also had to change how I coach. Not because the old way was wrong, but because we’ve evolved. You’ve evolved. I’ve evolved. And supporting women in midlife means adapting right along with you. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the bright spots, the breakthroughs, and the “okay… I guess this is where we are now” moments. Life, business, hormones — everything is always shifting. But so are we. Here’s to new beginnings, cleaner slates, softer landings, and the community that makes all of this feel a little less lonely. Give it a listen and let me know what your biggest bright spot of the year has been.

    Midlife Isn’t the Problem—Missing Information Is with Laini Gray

    In this episode of Far From Perfect, I sit down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Lainey Gray to talk about something so many women feel but can’t quite name: midlife isn’t the problem—the lack of information is. Lainey shares her journey from personal trainer to functional nutrition expert and breaks down why understanding your hormones, stress load, and nutritional needs is the key to finally feeling like yourself again. We dive into the power of comprehensive testing, simple lifestyle shifts that actually matter, the role HRT can play, and why advocating for your own health is non-negotiable in perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling dismissed…If you’ve ever been told “that’s just aging”…If you’ve ever thought, “something feels off, but I can’t get answers”… This conversation will feel like a giant exhale. Midlife doesn’t have to feel confusing, chaotic, or out of control. Once you have the right information, you can rebuild your energy, your joy, and your confidence—one empowered decision at a time.

    The Hidden Cost of Food Elimination Diets

    In this episode of Far From Perfect, I sit down with therapist, Krista Day-Gloe to talk about something so many of us have struggled with — the hidden costs of elimination diets. We dig into why gut health is about so much more than food, how stress and your nervous system play a huge role, and what really happens when we try to “fix” things by cutting foods out. Krista shares why working with a professional matters and offers simple, effective ways to start resetting your system. This one’s a must-listen if you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of restriction, frustration, and gut issues.

    Why I Started Tracking My Macros Again

    In this episode, I share why I decided to start logging my food again after a long stretch in maintenance. Not from a place of restriction — but awareness. I talk about noticing shifts in my training motivation, how consistent eating affects my energy levels, and why tracking macros is less about perfection and more about curiosity. I also touch on the role of self-monitoring, small healthy habits, and even how sleep and “fun” fit into the bigger wellness picture. If you’ve been feeling a little off or wondering where your energy’s going, try logging your food for a few days — you might be surprised by what you learn. And if you need a little guidance, I’m here to help.

    When To Call It Quits On Fat Loss

    In this episode, I break down one of the trickiest parts of a fat loss phase—knowing when it’s time to call it. We talk about how to use biofeedback (energy, hunger, mood, sleep, and life stress) to guide your decisions instead of just relying on the scale. I also share why shifting goals means your nutrition needs to shift, too—and how consistency with tracking helps you see the full picture. If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I keep going or move into maintenance?”—this episode’s for you.

    Why Does Everything Feel So Hard Right Now?

    We’re not broken—we’re just overwhelmed.Ali Damron and I explore how to quiet the noise, feel safe in your body, and start leading with acceptance instead of control. In this episode, Ali Damron and I unpack the difference between what you think you need and what you actually need when it comes to health, wellness, and feeling like yourself again. We talk about the endless noise out there—how easy it is to chase the next fix—and why the real work often looks less like control and more like compassion. We also dig into what it means to feel safe in your body, how lifestyle choices play a bigger role than most people realize, and why acceptance isn’t giving up—it’s where real change begins. Our conversation was inspired by what we are seeing in ourselves, with clients and the collective as a whole.

    Do You Need a Deload Week?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the concept of deload weeks—what they are, why they matter, and how they can actually help you get stronger. Spoiler: rest isn’t lazy, it’s part of the plan. We’ll also talk about auto-regulation—fancy word, simple idea. It’s about learning to adjust your workouts based on how your body feels, instead of forcing it to fit into a rigid plan. Because here’s the truth: sustainable training isn’t about going harder all the time, it’s about knowing when to pull back so you can keep moving forward. Want help dialing in your training?
