I hung up the phone after my first call with Evie and immediately messaged my whole team: you are going to love her.
Evie is 51, a mom of three grown daughters, and a nurse executive over oncology for eleven hospitals. She has spent her whole life getting herself wherever she needed to go through pure grit. Then menopause hit, a 20-year marriage ended, and she found herself in a body and a headspace she ...
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. Kn...
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 wor...
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 ...
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 b...
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 ...
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 patria...
She was a former fitness competitor, a dental hygienist, a mom of two athletes, and she kept telling herself it was not that bad. It was not like she was obese. She still worked out. She still ate healthy. It was just seven pounds.
Kristin joined the Powerhouse Academy six months ago. She just got back from a vacation where she threw on a swimsuit without thinking about it for the first time in years. He...
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 reaso...
Have you ever caught yourself saying any of these? It's not that bad. I'm probably the fittest of my friends. I look good for my age. I don't mean to be vain.
If you have, this episode is about what those words actually mean - and what they are slowly costing you.
In this episode, I break down why it's not that bad is where extraordinary women go to live a mediocre existence, and why the most dangerous pa...
She had tried a trainer for two to three years, Weight Watchers, tracking apps, and six week challenges. Every single time she made progress and fell right back. When she reached out she was already considering medication - not because she wanted a quick fix but because she genuinely could not see another option left.
Walking into the program her biggest fear was not that it would fail. It was that she w...
Part two of our member Q&A is here - and this round gets into the stuff nobody wants to admit out loud.
Coach Jen and I tackle three more real questions from inside the Powerhouse Academy community, covering everything from social media overwhelm to the family member who cannot resist a comment about your shorts.
In this episode, we cover:
- whether social media makes fitness more motivating or more ...
She looked at another member's plan, decided she already knew what to do, and walked away. She had been stuck for five years.
In this episode I am breaking down the real reason so many women keep collecting information, trying new plans, and ending up exactly where they started and why knowing what to do might actually be the very thing keeping you stuck.
In this episode, we cover:
- why the fitness indu...
She was running triathlons and half marathons, working in healthcare, and still gaining weight every year. Her doctor told her it was just her age. She said no, trusted her gut, and found a different path.
Sabrina is a registered nurse and clinic supervisor who has been with the Powerhouse Academy for a year. Six months into the program her house caught fire. She almost stopped. She did not and she says ...
The perfect time to start is not coming. The kids will always be off school. Work will always get busy. There will always be a trip, a holiday, a reason to wait.
In this episode I am breaking down the three things I would stop doing immediately if I wanted to feel confident and comfortable in a bikini this summer - because summer is a lot closer than you think and the cycle of waiting has to stop somewhe...
Our members sent in their questions and we answered all of them - no filter, no polish, just the honest version.
In this Unfiltered and Unscripted Q&A episode, Coach Jen and I tackle four real questions from inside the Powerhouse Academy community covering everything from what we love and hate about coaching to why your kids are watching everything you do whether you realize it or not.
In this episode...
Jen has tried everything - Weight Watchers, macros, keto, Atkins, every fitness app on the market - for years without anything lasting. She came back from a dream vacation in Greece with almost no photos because she did not feel good enough to be in them, and that was the moment she knew something had to change.
In this episode she shares how she lost 25 lbs, booked her first ever solo cruise, started da...
Someone paid $150,000 for Picasso's paint palette. Someone paid $6 million for Kurt Cobain's guitar. Neither of them became the artist.

In this episode I am breaking down why the fitness industry profits from making you feel like the right product is standing between you and your goal - and why that belief is costing you results.

She had done a competition. She knew what to do. She traveled constantly for work, was raising a son on her own, and every time she hit a goal she watched it fall apart within weeks.
Jen is a 38-year-old single mom in marketing who travels two to three times a month. This episode is the story of what finally changed - including the week her relationship ended the same week she started the program and why...
If you have ever hit your goal and then watched it fall apart - this episode explains exactly why and what to actually do about it.
In this episode I am sharing three opinions on health, fitness, and nutrition that come from nearly two decades of working with high-performing women. These are not hot takes for attention. They are patterns I see every single day that the fitness industry is either getting ...

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
