    Welcome back to another empowering episode of Sassy & Strong with Dr. Micol featuring special guest Christy O'Gara, a passionate leader in the health and wellness space and the founder of  FIIT wellness. Christy’s journey into the fitness industry started long before she built her business. From coaching volleyball to leading fitness classes, her love for helping others grow stronger physically and emotionally naturally evolved into the work she does today.

Christy describes herself as the advocate we all need — someone who listens, encourages, and helps us find the tools to move forward. Drawing from her experiences as a mother and grandmother, she understands the power of being heard and the importance of helping others rediscover their strength. Even Dr. Neely admits that sometimes she needs the reminder to slow down, eat properly, and take care of herself too. This episode is a powerful reminder that we are all human. Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we feel broken or stretched thin. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Taking care of ourselves allows us to better care for the people around us. Christy also challenges listeners with a simple but meaningful question: Are you making time for play? Small changes in how we treat ourselves, how we move our bodies, and how we listen to our needs can create powerful shifts in our lives. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or simply need a reminder to check in with yourself, this conversation will inspire you to pause, reset, and redirect. Sometimes the biggest transformations start with the smallest steps — and having the right person beside you can make all the difference.
