    The One Thing That Made Me Fearless

    When people ask why I'm so passionate about nutrition and fitness, they usually expect me to talk about weight loss. But that's honestly not the part I care about most anymore. In this episode, I'm sharing how years of competing in CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting changed the way I think about confidence—and why I believe confidence isn't something you magically find once you hit your goal weight. It's something you earn by collecting evidence that you can keep promises to yourself. We talk about: Why confidence comes from action, not affirmations What competing actually taught me (and it wasn't how to get lean) Why so many women don't need another meal plan—they need to rebuild trust in themselves How fitness spills over into every other area of your life Why the goal has never been just to lose weight If you've ever felt like you've lost confidence in yourself or you're tired of starting over every Monday, this episode is for you. Because the weight loss isn't the whole story—it's what happens after you start believing you're capable again that changes everything.   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/

    Comfort Is Making You Weak w/ Marci

    What if the thing you need most isn't another nutrition strategy.. but simply practicing saying no? In this episode, Marci and I talk about why intentionally doing something difficult can strengthen far more than your habits. We discuss how convenience has made us constantly negotiate with ourselves, why giving something up for 30 days can reveal more than you expect, and how building self-control often has very little to do with food. We also share our own examples—from restrictive diets and cold showers to coffee, sleep, and processed foods—and challenge you to choose one thing that's uncomfortable enough to make you grow. The goal isn't the thing you're giving up. It's becoming the kind of person who knows they can do hard things.      Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/

    Why I Changed the Name of My Podcast

    Welcome to the first episode of The Debrief. In this episode, I'm sharing why I retired The Wellness Diaries, how my coaching philosophy has evolved over the years, and why I've become more interested in identity, self-trust, behavior change, and personal growth than nutrition information alone. We'll talk about the difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it, the lessons I've learned through my own experiences, and why this new name feels like a much better fit for the conversations ahead. Welcome to The Debrief. 💛

    We Don't Talk About Gluttony Enough

    In this episode, I'm talking about something that almost nobody wants to touch: gluttony. And no, I'm not just talking about overeating. I'm talking about overconsumption in every form — food, social media, productivity, shopping, stimulation, achievement, validation, even "treat yourself" culture. Because the truth is, most people aren't actually struggling with a lack of discipline. They're struggling with emotional dysregulation, constant distraction, and an inability to sit still with themselves. We live in a culture that profits from our impulsivity and overstimulation. And for high-performing women especially, overconsumption often looks less like laziness… and more like perfectionism, overworking, emotional eating, chronic productivity, and tying your worth to performance. In this episode, I break down: What gluttony actually is (and the subtle modern version of it) Why our culture normalizes overconsumption The high-performer version of gluttony Emotional eating, overstimulation, and nervous system dysregulation Why achievement and productivity can quietly become idols The difference between comfort vs peace and fullness vs fulfillment What self-control and moderation actually look like The uncomfortable question you need to ask yourself: What are you using consumption to avoid? This episode is part nutrition, part mindset, part nervous system conversation, and part spiritual reflection. If you constantly feel overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in cycles of excess, I think this conversation will hit home.   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Rock Bottom Had Really Good Lighting Actually w/ Marina Haddad

    This episode is a conversation about what happens when you stop running on autopilot. We talk about burnout, always needing to stay busy, chasing external validation, and how disconnected you can become from yourself when your life is built around productivity and performance. We also get into comparison, creating a life that actually feels good to you, solo travel, healing after heartbreak, and rebuilding from the ground up. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally checked out, or like you've been avoiding stillness at all costs, this episode will probably hit home.   Marina's IG: https://www.instagram.com/itsmarinasilva/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Food, Doomscrolling, Emotional Avoidance, and the Habits Keeping You Disconnected From Yourself w/ Brian Bidanjiri

    In this episode, I sit down with health and fitness coach Brian Bidanjiri to talk about the deeper side of transformation — the part most people avoid. We get into his journey from alcoholism, emotional eating, and smoking weed daily to losing nearly 100 pounds and rebuilding his life through fitness, structure, and self-awareness. But this conversation goes far beyond weight loss. We talk about using food for comfort, dopamine addiction, doom scrolling, emotional avoidance, relationships, identity, and why so many people stay stuck even when they "know what to do." If you've ever felt like you're constantly distracting yourself, negotiating with yourself, or looking for comfort instead of actually dealing with what's underneath… this episode will hit home.    Brian's IG: https://www.instagram.com/brian.bidanjiri/?g=5   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Confidence Is Earned, Not Felt w/ Marci

    This episode is about the gap between who you know you are… and how you're actually showing up. We dive into how repeated dieting attempts can quietly erode your self-trust, why confidence comes from keeping promises (not chasing motivation), and how your daily habits either reinforce or contradict your identity. We also challenge the narratives around "food noise," hormones, and quick fixes—and bring it back to what actually moves the needle. If you're ready to stop starting over and start becoming someone you can rely on, this one's for you.   Marci's IG: https://www.instagram.com/marcinevin/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    The Link Between Your Nervous System, Habits, and Healing w/ Katie Mackey

    In this episode, we're getting into the stuff most people avoid—your nervous system, your emotions, and the patterns you keep repeating even though you know better. Katie shares how she hit a breaking point in her late 20s—burnt out, dealing with injuries, feeling completely disconnected from her body—and how that forced her to rebuild everything from a different angle.  We talk about: Why your body holds onto more than you think How stress and unprocessed emotions show up physically Why you keep defaulting to the same habits (even when you don't want to) And the part of "healing" that no one really wants to do Because the truth is… you can't think your way out of patterns your body is still holding onto. This episode isn't here to coddle you. But it will help you understand yourself better so you can actually move differently. If you feel like you've been doing all the "right" things but still not getting anywhere…this one's for you.   Marra Movement Membership: https://www.marramovement.com/membership Katie IG: https://www.instagram.com/marramovement/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/
