  1. What Kim Kardashian’s Trainer Senada Greca Actually Thinks About Women and Weight Loss

    What Kim Kardashian’s Trainer Senada Greca Actually Thinks About Women and Weight Loss

    I used to think being smaller meant being better. That if I could just control my body, I would finally feel confident, happy, and enough. But the truth is, that mindset kept me stuck. In this episode, I sit down with Senada Greca to talk about what actually changed everything. From growing up in Albania with limited resources, to moving to the US and facing bullying, to struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, and body dysmorphia, her story is powerful and deeply relatable. What makes this conversation different is that it is not about quick fixes or extreme routines. It is about shifting your mindset, healing your relationship with your body, and building real strength from the inside out. We break down why so many women feel stuck in cycles of restriction, overtraining, and frustration, and what it actually takes to create lasting change. If you have ever felt like you are doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode will change the way you approach fitness, nutrition, and self-worth. _____ Sam's LINKS:https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7 day trial*https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide:https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs:https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs Follow Sam:Insta: @samcfit_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine _____ PaleoValley Head to https://paleovalley.com/samcfit for 15% off your first purchase.

  2. How a 4-Day Wellness Retreat Reset Our Relationship, Mindset & Goals for the Year

    How a 4-Day Wellness Retreat Reset Our Relationship, Mindset & Goals for the Year

    In this episode, Sam and Ian sit down to recap their four-day stay at Miraval Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona — a luxury, all-inclusive, adults-only wellness retreat that turned out to be way more transformative than they expected. This one is personal, fun, and packed with real talk about relationships, mindfulness, goal-setting, and what happens when you're forced to put your phone in a bag. They kick things off with a 90-day intention check-in — something Sam does every quarter to look back at her goals and make sure she's living with purpose. From there, they dive deep into everything Miraval: the stunning desert property, the incredible food (fresh honey straight from the beehive!), and the wide variety of classes and experiences they booked — from archery and gut health workshops to past life regression and one-on-one readings. But the real conversation goes deeper than the resort itself. Sam and her partner open up about what it actually felt like to go fully phone-free for days, why that level of digital detox grounded Sam in a way she didn't expect, and what it meant for them as a couple to have four full days of intentional, distraction-free time together. They also talk about who Miraval is for — spoiler: it's not just couples. Whether you're a solo traveler needing to escape, a group of girlfriends, or someone just craving a reset, this place has something for everyone. If you've been feeling burnt out, disconnected, or like you're just going through the motions — this episode will make you want to book a wellness trip immediately.  _____ About Miraval:Miraval Resorts are renowned luxury wellness destinations designed for mindfulness, balance, and relaxation, with locations in Arizona, Austin, and the Berkshires.

    Running Changed My Life: From Zero Miles to Ultra Marathons | ft. Matt Choi

    In this episode, I sit down with Matt Choi: content creator, endurance athlete, and one of the most inspiring voices in the running community. Matt's journey is anything but linear. From playing college football to losing his job during the pandemic, he found running as a form of therapy and self discovery. What started as a casual four mile run turned into marathons, ultramarathons, and a thriving online community built around pushing limits and doing hard things. We dive deep into running for beginners, fueling your body, strength training for runners, and recovery. Matt breaks down how to start running if you've never done it before, the walk jog method that actually works, how to choose the right shoes, and why you don't need to have it all figured out to just start. We talk about fueling during long runs, the importance of electrolytes, carb loading before races, and why eating enough is non negotiable if you want to avoid injury. We also get into the mental side of running: why it's more about mindset than mileage, how running became therapy for both of us, and what it takes to show up even when it's hard. Matt opens up about the New York City Marathon controversy, how he handled the backlash, and what he learned from taking accountability in a very public way. We also talk about his next challenge: transitioning into triathlons and taking on a 70.3 Ironman. This conversation is raw, real, and packed with practical advice for anyone who's ever thought about lacing up their shoes and just going. Whether you're training for your first 5k or your tenth marathon, this episode will remind you that you don't need permission to start, you just need to show up. _____ About Matt Choi: Matt Choi is a content creator, endurance athlete, and former college football player known for his authentic approach to running and fitness. After losing his job during the pandemic, Matt discovered running as a form of therapy and self challenge. He's completed over 40 marathons, multiple ultramarathons including the Leadville 100, and has built a loyal community by sharing his journey of pushing limits and doing hard things. Matt is currently training for triathlons and continues to inspire thousands to start running and chase their goals.

  4. The Hidden Truth About My Gut Health: Why I Cut Out Caffeine & Protein Powder

    MAR 11

    The Hidden Truth About My Gut Health: Why I Cut Out Caffeine & Protein Powder

    What if the bloating, stomach pain, and exhaustion you've been dealing with for years weren't just something to manage, but a signal that something deeper was going on? In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable and sharing the full story behind my gut health journey: the decade of symptoms I couldn't explain, the tests I finally took, and the protocol that's changing everything. For years, I dealt with intense bloating, stomach pain, gas, constipation, and acne. I cut out gluten, dairy, sugar, and processed foods. I took food sensitivity tests, did blood work, and tried everything I could think of. But nothing fully worked. And the hardest part? Showing up on social media every day to talk about health and wellness while quietly struggling on the inside. After hitting my breaking point, I reached out to my friend Amy Migdalia, a gut health specialist, and we ran comprehensive testing: a full blood panel, stool test, and MRT food sensitivity test. The results? H. pylori, low stomach acid, dehydration, and a depressed immune system. The pieces finally started to make sense. We dove into what H. pylori is, how it thrives in low stomach acid environments, and why I chose a natural protocol over antibiotics to eradicate it and address the root cause. I walk you through the 12 week protocol I'm following: cutting out caffeine, cinnamon, bananas, oats, broccoli, cauliflower, protein powders, protein bars, and all processed foods. I'm focusing on whole foods only, taking 25+ pills a day including digestive enzymes, antimicrobials, probiotics, prebiotics, and binders. Ian even cut out caffeine and energy drinks with me to support me through it, which has been huge. Only three weeks in, and I'm already feeling like a different person. No bloating. No stomach pain. No gas. No flare ups. More sustained energy. Clearer skin. It's wild how much better I feel already, and we're just getting started. If you've ever struggled with gut issues, felt like nothing was working, or wondered if there's more going on beneath the surface, this episode is for you. Your gut isn't just part of your health. It is your health. _____ Sam's LINKS: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7 day trial* https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide: https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs: https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs Follow Sam: Insta: @samcfit_ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine Follow Amy: https://www.instagram.com/amymigdalia?igsh=dXE4djhjeWV6aHNw _____ PaleoValley Head to https://paleovalley.com/samcfit for 15% off your first purchase.

    From Viral Recipes to Skincare: How One Woman Built Her Dream Life | ft. Olivia Adriance

    What if the fear of not being enough, the pressure to do it all perfectly, were the exact things keeping you from stepping into the version of yourself you're meant to become? In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Adriance: content creator, recipe developer, soon to be cookbook author, and founder of an upcoming beauty brand built on skin nourishing ingredients. Olivia's journey is anything but linear. From working in corporate accounting to quitting her job during the pandemic to pursue content creation full time, she's built a thriving community around effortless, gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free recipes that actually taste good and don't take hours to make. We dive deep into her story, her philosophy on food, and what it really takes to build a brand rooted in passion. Olivia opens up about how she healed her cystic acne through diet, why she started sharing recipes on Instagram, and what it was like to post into the void for 18 months before anything took off. We talk about going viral, navigating imposter syndrome, working with your spouse, and why healthy eating isn't the end goal but the catalyst to unlock your life. We also get into the behind the scenes of her upcoming physical cookbook with 100 brand new recipes, how she's been developing a clean beauty line for the past eight months, and why she's only pouring her energy into projects she's truly passionate about. From recipe development to working with management, this episode is packed with real talk for anyone building something from scratch. If you've ever felt stuck between who you are and what you do, or you're trying to balance motherhood, career, and showing up as your best self, this episode is for you. Olivia is proof that you don't need to have it all figured out to keep moving forward. You just need passion, persistence, and the courage to share your story. _____ About Olivia Adriance: Olivia Adriance is a content creator, recipe developer, and founder known for her gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free recipes that make healthy eating effortless and delicious.

    Where Your Fear Is, There Your Task Is: Finding Purpose Through Loss | ft. Michael Smoak

    What if the fear of being perceived, the pressure to do it all perfectly, and the weight of staying comfortable were the exact things keeping you from stepping into the life you're actually meant to live? In this episode, I sit down with Michael Smoak: content creator, speaker, communication coach, and one of the most authentic voices in the personal development space. Michael's journey is anything but linear: from losing 60 pounds and transforming his body to losing his father and transforming his soul, he's built a life rooted in evidence, faith, and doing the hard things most people avoid. We dive deep into confidence, communication, and courage. We talk about overcoming body image issues, the power of public speaking, why most people lack confidence, and how doing hard things in one area of your life bleeds into every other area. This conversation gets vulnerable. Michael opens up about caring for his dying father, the grief that followed, and how that season became the catalyst for his biggest growth. We talk about showing up for yourself when life is falling apart, the difference between motivation and discipline (and why devotion matters more than both). We also get into modern dating, why so many people are struggling to find their person, and what it really means to build a life worth inviting someone into. Michael shares why he believes men are failing women, and what he's learning about himself in this season of solitude and travel. From fitness and fat loss to faith and fear, this episode is raw, real, and packed with truth bombs. Michael doesn't sugarcoat anything, and that's exactly why this conversation matters. If you've ever felt stuck, scared, or unsure of your next step, this episode will remind you that where your fear is, there your task is. _____ About Michael Smoak: Michael Smoak is a content creator, communication coach, known for his raw, authentic approach to personal development.

    Why Your Cleaning Products Are Making You Sick: The Truth About Toxins | ft. Kelly Love

    What if the products you're using to clean your home, wash your clothes, and freshen the air are the very things quietly disrupting your hormones, draining your energy, and keeping you from feeling your best? In this episode, I sit down with one of the co-founders of Branch Basics, a non-toxic cleaning company that's helping families across the country ditch harmful chemicals and create healthier homes. This conversation is eye-opening, practical, and full of simple swaps you can make today that will actually change how you feel. We dive into the real story behind Branch Basics: how a college friend's debilitating pain, PCOS, and thousands of ovarian cysts led to the discovery that what we spray, wash, and breathe in our homes matters more than we think. From fragrance and cleaning products to laundry detergent and pesticides, we break down the hidden chemicals lurking in everyday products and how they're affecting our hormones, our fertility, our skin, our sleep, and even our kids. If you've ever felt like something was off but couldn't figure out why, or you've been wanting to make the switch to cleaner products but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you. Your home should be your safe haven. The place where your body restores, repairs, and thrives. Let's make that happen. _____ About Branch Basics: Branch Basics is a non-toxic cleaning company co-founded by three women passionate about helping people live healthier lives. Their mission is simple: remove harmful chemicals from your home with safe, effective, and easy-to-use products.

    FEB 11

    Wedding Planning & Relationship Real Talk: Valentine’s Q&A with Ian

    What if the secret to a lasting relationship isn't perfection, but choosing each other every single day, even when life gets messy, busy, and blended? In this Valentine's Day episode, Ian and I are pulling back the curtain on our relationship: how we keep the spark alive, navigate life as a blended family, handle conflict, blend finances, and stay best friends through it all. We're also giving you a wedding update: From our venue and vision to the design details, music, florals, and why we're skipping the traditional bridal party. We answer your most-asked relationship questions: How do we deal with routine changes when we have the kids versus when we don't? How often should intimacy happen to keep things healthy? What do we protect in our relationship as life gets busier? And the big one: how do you get your partner more aligned with a wellness lifestyle when they're just not interested? This conversation is honest, real, and full of the little things that actually matter. From over-communicating instead of guessing to never stopping dating each other, protecting each other's inner child during conflict, and why leading by example is more powerful than forcing change. We're sharing what's working for us and what we've learned the hard way. We also talk about Valentine's Day, why we don't go out on the actual day, how we celebrate love with our kids, and why romance looks different for everyone. Plus, a rapid-fire round that gets into who apologizes first, who's more dramatic when hungry, and who steals all the blankets (spoiler: it's me). If you're in a relationship, building one, or just want to believe that healthy love is still possible, this episode is for you. Love isn't about having it all figured out. It's about showing up, compromising, communicating, and choosing each other over and over again. _____ Sam's LINKS:https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7-day trial*https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide:https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs:https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs Follow Sam:Insta: @samcfit_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine _____ Just ThriveSave 20% off your first order at https://justthrivehealth.com/SAMCFIT  with code SAMCFIT Lagoon Go to https://LagoonSleep.com/SAMCFIT and use code SAMCFIT for 15% off your first purchase.
