    131. Mistakes Rookie Coaches Make

    Ever had a coach where you “learned a lot”… but didn’t actually get results? You’re not crazy - and it might not be your fault. In this episode, we break down the most common mistakes rookie coaches make (that sound helpful but actually keep you stuck), so you can better understand your past experiences and know what to look for moving forward. We cover: Why information overload can kill your progress The difference between a coach who talks at you vs. coaches you How outcome obsession (from your coach) can backfire on you The red flags of inexperience - from poor emotional regulation to “trendy” strategies that miss the mark If you’ve ever felt like you were doing everything right but still not getting anywhere… this will give you clarity on why - and what better coaching should actually look like. 🎧 Tune in now and learn how to spot the difference between real coaching and just good marketing.

    130. Hyper Independent Women + The Downfall Of Trying On Your Own

    You’ve always been the one who figures it out on your own… so why does your fitness still feel stuck? Maybe you keep telling yourself, “I just need to be more consistent.” Maybe you start strong, fall off when life gets busy, and then quietly start over - again and again. In this episode, we break down the hidden cycle hyper-independent women get stuck in - why doing it all on your own can actually slow your progress, erode self-trust, and keep you spinning your wheels. We talk about: How independence can turn into self-sabotage in your fitness journey The subtle way progress stalls (even when you’re “doing everything right”) Why your goals keep shrinking - and what’s really behind it How the right support actually creates less stress, not more If you’ve been trying to “figure it out” on your own for months (or years)… this might be the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed. 🎧 Tune in now and ask yourself: is doing it alone actually helping you win?

    129. [Coaches Corner] Our Relationship With Business And Selling In An Overcrowded Industry

    Ever get off a consult call and think… “that felt off, but I don’t know why?” Maybe you felt pressured. Maybe you left more confused than when you started. Or maybe you’re stuck wondering if it’s just you overthinking… again. In this episode, we’re breaking down what actually happens on coaching consult calls - so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start making confident decisions. We cover: The green flags of a coach who’s actually listening (not just selling) The red flags that signal pressure, misalignment, or manipulation How to tell the difference between fear vs. intuition Why the right coaching experience should feel like expansion, not contraction If you’ve ever considered hiring a coach or had an experience that didn’t sit right, this conversation will change the way you approach it moving forward.

    128. Meet Coach Alissa Farabaugh

    In this episode of the PCC Podcast, I sit down with our newest assistant coach, Alissa, to pull back the curtain on her journey from a 10-year-old inspired by her mom’s bodybuilding show… to losing 80 pounds, competing herself, and coaching 400+ clients through their own transformations. But this isn’t just a “fitness story.” This is a conversation about: Breaking out of all-or-nothing thinking and perfectionism Healing your relationship with food after years of binge-restrict cycles Why knowing what to do isn’t the problem - and what actually is The identity shifts required to create lasting change How to navigate discomfort, fear, and “failure” as part of the process The difference between coaches who give you plans… vs coaches who change how you think Alissa brings a powerful blend of empathy and directness to her coaching - helping clients not just execute better, but become different people in the process. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting strong, falling off, and blaming yourself… this episode will challenge the way you see your habits, your mindset, and what it actually takes to change.

    127. Training vs Working Out

    You might be spending hours in the gym… and still missing the results you want. Because there’s a big difference between working out and actually training. And that difference? It’s often what separates people who stay stuck from people who actually see their body change. In this episode, we break down the real difference between training vs. just exercising, why many women unknowingly leave progress on the table in the gym, and how to start applying the principles that actually build muscle, support fat loss, and maintain results long-term. If your workouts feel hard but your results feel slow… this conversation might show you exactly what’s missing. 🎧 Tune in to episode 127 now and see if you’ve been working out or actually training. https://lastdietforlife.com/coachingprocesspcc

    126. Why Discipline Isn't The Answer To Your Fat Loss Problem

    If you keep starting over every Monday… it’s not because you lack motivation, willpower, or consistency. You already know what to do. You’ve followed plans before. But when life gets stressful, busy, or emotionally heavy, everything seems to fall apart. Here’s what most people miss: discipline only works in calm environments - and real life isn’t calm. When stress rises, your brain isn’t choosing laziness… it’s choosing relief. Which means the real problem isn’t effort - it’s operating under chronic stress without the tools to stay regulated. In this episode, we break down why willpower keeps failing you, how perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking keep you stuck in the Monday reset cycle, and why nervous system regulation is what actually creates consistency that lasts. This is the missing piece for high-achieving women who feel capable in every area of life except staying consistent with themselves. If you’re tired of starting over and ready to understand what actually needs to change, this one is for you.

    125. The Difference Between Being Busy and Being Avoidant

    Maybe you tell yourself, “I just need to be more consistent.” Maybe you keep searching for better plans, better systems, better routines… while quietly feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like life is just passing by. The hard truth? Busyness can feel productive while actually protecting you from slowing down long enough to face what isn’t working. In this episode, we break down the powerful (and uncomfortable) difference between ambition and avoidance - why high-achieving women often stay in motion to avoid difficult emotions, how your nervous system gets wired to equate productivity with self-worth, and why slowing down is often the real catalyst for progress in your fitness, career, and life. If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but unsettled inside, this conversation will help you understand why and what to do next.
