    The Labels That Are Quietly Limiting Your Results With Coach Jen

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! You know exactly what to do. Eat a little better, move a little more, drink your water. So why do you keep falling off at the four or five month mark? In this Unfiltered and Unscripted episode, Coach Jen and I take questions straight from our members and get into the stuff nobody wants to say out loud. Here's the truth I keep coming back to: if you actually knew what to do, you'd have done it already. Knowing the tagline and knowing how to live it in the middle of a real, busy life are two completely different things. In this episode we get into: Why thinking you know what to do and actually knowing how to do it are not the same thingThe reason consistency falls apart at month four or five (and why it's not because you're lazy)What being coachable actually means, and how to tell if you areThe one daily habit that gives you the biggest return on your healthHow labeling yourself ("I'm not a morning person," "I always fail") keeps you stuckWhy your brain craves comfort, and how you can rewire itThe link between having no schedule and living in constant anxietyHow to build a routine that survives vacations, holidays, and the curveballs life throwsIf you've been stuck in the loop of starting over every few months and calling yourself the problem, this one is going to hit.

    The Best Workout Split for Busy Women (It's Not the One You Think)

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! You are not lazy. You are not undisciplined. And you do not have a motivation problem. I say this to accomplished women every single day, and most of them do not believe me at first. Here is what I know after coaching thousands of busy working moms: if you keep falling off a plan you have tried to follow again and again, the plan is the problem, not you. In this episode I get into: Why the "perfect workout split" is a fallacy that keeps you stuckHow social media has you optimizing a strategy that was never built for your lifeThe in-person trainer story that proves more structure is not the fixWhy a lack of motivation is a symptom, not a flawThe "more is better" trap that high achievers fall into hardestWhy fitness has no finish line the way a launch or a degree doesWhat a study of 53 women aged 40 to 62 revealed about staying consistentHow to build a plan around the life you actually have right nowIf you have ever thought "if I cannot do the full two hours, what is the point," this one is for you.

    7 Fitness Truths Nobody Has the Guts to Tell You

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! I had a season where I kept asking myself one question: am I doing this from ego, or from love? People were messaging me that I was too harsh. Too much. So I sat with it. And in the same week I was questioning myself, two women inside the Powerhouse Academy messaged me to say the exact thing I needed to hear. I pushed them hard, they thanked me for it, and they're both killing it now. That's what gave me the guts to record this one. Seven truths most coaches are too scared to say out loud because they're afraid of looking like an a*****e. I'm not. In this episode: Why "my kids won't eat that" is a shield, not a reasonThe supplement and peptide lie that keeps you distracted from the real workWhy committing to three days a week beats crashing out on sixThe marathon smokescreen women hide behind when they're ashamed of aesthetic goalsThe muscle-gain math that proves your seven pounds isn't all muscleHow "I can't because of my husband" hands away your powerWhy undoing decades of f*****y in a few months is delulu, and how to pick a coach who won't sell you the quick fixIf it hurts your feelings and moves you to action, we did our job.

    Why "Fixing Your Hormones First" Is Keeping You Stuck

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! A woman told me she wasn't focusing on her fitness right now because she had to fix her hormones first. I couldn't let that one go. We're teaching a whole generation of high-achieving women to slap a clinical label on everything. Deregulation. Inflammation. Cortisol. Gut dysbiosis. It feels like progress, but naming it and fixing it are not the same thing, and every new label pulls you further from the boring work that actually works. In this one I get into: Why "I need to fix my hormones first" keeps you stuckThe 12-year-old-with-her-period analogy that reframes all of perimenopauseWhy your symptoms are multifactorial, not one problem you solve in orderThe member who blamed her "deregulated nervous system" when she just hadn't restedThe naturopath who ran endless tests and prescribed tapioca starchThe one question to ask before your next supplement or panelYou are not broken. You have far more control than social media wants you to believe. Connect with Nathalia Apply for the Powerhouse Academy Get my favorite pre-workout HERE Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Website

    Is Your Goal Realistic? Easy Steps to Find Out If You're Setting Yourself Up for Success or Failure

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! You have probably asked yourself the exact question I hear from women every single week. Is my goal even realistic? I recorded this episode because that one question is keeping so many of you stuck with either no goal at all or a goal so small it barely moves you. Here is the truth I unpack: it is almost never the goal that is unrealistic. It is the strategy you are using and the timeline you are giving yourself. I walk through a conversation with a former competitor who told me she just wanted to feel good, my own story of thinking I could never get back in shape after my kids, and the data that blows up the idea that your age is the reason you are stuck. In this episode I get into: Why "I just want to feel good" is a vibe, not a goalThe England analogy that changes how you look at every goal you setThe real reason people gain weight as they age (it is not what you were told)What you can control versus what you cannot, and why obsessing over the wrong things keeps you stuckHow I stay within 5 pounds of my Olympia weight at 42Why the person you become in the process is the thing that lets you keep the resultStop questioning the goal. Start questioning the plan and the timeline. If you want help figuring out what is actually realistic for your life, book a call with me in the show notes.

    Boundaries, Burnout and Why Women Are Running on Empty

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! A professional dancer brought her two-year-old to her own presentation because the toddler threw a tantrum and she could not say no. People celebrated it on social media and I could not stop thinking about how many women are living that same pattern every single day - just in quieter, less visible ways. In this Unfiltered and Unscripted episode Coach Jen and I are talking about boundaries. Not the patriarchy-blame version and not the just say no version. The real conversation about why women are burned out, resentful, and exhausted - and what boundaries actually have to do with it. In this episode, we cover: why the lack of boundaries starts as early as preschool for girls and what that conditioning costs uswhy people pleasing is a confidence problem first and a boundaries problem secondwhat resentment inside a family actually looks like and why most women refuse to name itwhy setting boundaries is not choosing work over your kids - it is choosing sanity for everyonehow boundaries act as a filter for the people in your life who only benefited from your lack of thempractical scripts for the sister who asks you to babysit for the fourth weekend in a row, the midwork mom moment, the spouse conversation, and the apology habitwhy a problem deferred is a problem amplifiedwhat age kids actually start understanding boundaries - and why it is younger than you thinkConnect with Nathalia Apply for the Powerhouse Academy Get my favorite pre-workout HERE Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Website

    You Have the Financial Freedom to Afford the Life But Are You Free to Actually Live It?

    Send Nathalia a Text Message! We just got back from New York for the Brazil vs Norway FIFA World Cup round of 16 on the 4th of July weekend doing 25,000 steps in diabolical Manhattan heat. And all I could think about walking through the city was the women I saw dressed head to toe in long sleeves and pants in that heat and how many of the women I speak with every single day are doing exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason. This episode is about the kind of freedom nobody talks about on the 4th of July. In this episode, we cover: the difference between financial freedom and the freedom to actually live your lifewhy you can afford the vacation but still not be present when you get therethe woman who said no to investing in herself but justified an eight thousand dollar bagwhy toxic positivity and telling women to just wear the swimsuit is emotional gaslightingwhat a family member's health limitations taught me about taking physical freedom for grantedwhy putting your kids and family first when you have not taken care of yourself is counterproductivethe question to ask yourself that has nothing to do with moneywhy coffins do not have drawers and what that has to do with your fitnessConnect with Nathalia Apply for the Powerhouse Academy Get my favorite pre-workout HERE Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Website
