It’s been a minute, so today I’m walking and talking—giving you a life update, sharing how I’ve been using ChatGPT as a calorie and protein tracker, spilling the chaos of trying to keep baby bunnies alive in our backyard, and letting you in on something exciting I’ve just launched…

I break down the different versions of ChatGPT, the tools I rely on most, and real-life examples of how AI helps with everything from health trac...
Oh hey there — today’s episode of Walking and Talking with Me is a bit of a catch-up after a little break. I’m finally back out walking, and we’ve got some nice weather for once. I’m out here without my dog today (which is rare!) and just wanted to have a real conversation with you about what’s been going on.
First, a quick update on something new I’ve been loving: my weighted vest. It’s a 16-pound vest fro...
In this episode, I dive into the real, unfiltered truth about starting an online business in 2025. Things have changed drastically from the early days of online business, and I’m breaking down the biggest misconceptions, mistakes, and the strategies you actually need to succeed.

Hey friends, welcome back to How It’s Really Going. Today, I’m walking and talking through a snowy morning here in southern Ontario (wish you could see it—it’s gorgeous!) and sharing my unfiltered thoughts about a topic that’s been weighing on me: alcohol.
From my “Fun Shana” days in my 20s to where I stand now in my mid-40s, I’m opening up about how my relationship with alcohol has changed, the shame spira...
Walk with me as I share my thoughts on 2024... the highs, the lessons, and what I’m leaving behind as I step into the new year.

I also share my plans for 2025, including ...
In this episode, I’m trying something new and taking the podcast on the go—literally!
Inspired by my friend and fellow podcaster Chalene Johnson, I decided to combine my love for walking with sharing my thoughts in a more casual and authentic way. Like many of you, I’ve struggled to find time to sit down and record. This new format feels like a win-win: getting fresh air and movement while connec...

Hey everyone! Welcome back! In this episode, I get super real about the ups and downs of friendships. After listening to a Simon Sinek podcast, I felt inspired to share my own struggles with making and keeping friends, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

I talk about how important community is and how the lack of close friendsh...

Hey there! In this episode, I'm just gonna chat about something super important: happiness!
I spill the tea on why happiness isn't something you find in fancy cars, big houses, or Instagram likes. It really truly comes from deep within you. I jabber on about my own stories and share nuggets of wisdom what I've learned about true joy and fulfillment.
Happiness is a ch...
Today I share how I'm learning (emphases on the ING) how by letting go of trying to control everything and embracing change actually makes life easier. I'd say it's one of the benefits of aging for sure. The older we get the less we care so much about shit.
In this episode I talk about ditching overthinking and trusting your instincts more, about opening up to outcomes outside of yo...
As I get older, I can't help but think about the whole weight and body image thing. I've had my share of ups and downs when it comes to my body, and I'm sure you can relate.
But you know what I've come to realize? It's all about embracing and loving yourself, no matter what size you are. ❤️
Let's collectively ditch the overthinking about our size and celebrate our bo...

Welcome back to the "How it's really going" podcast! 🎙️
Today, I've got something a little different for you... Back in August, I had the privilege of sitting down with one of my favorite clients, Debbie Weiss! And today I'm bringing this episode to you, and there's a good reason behind the delay.
You see, Debbie launched her very first book, "On Secon...
Hey there, welcome baaaaaack to "How It's Really Going with Shana Recker"!
In this episode, I'm excited to share some recent changes in my life and what you can expect from the podcast moving forward.
So, as you know, I've made a bit of a pivot in my career recently. I've shifted away from business coaching and started focusing more on specialized services like Kajabi...
Ever felt like a quitter just because you changed your career path or switched your business focus? It's time we view these transformations not as acts of surrender but as brave steps towards reinventing ourselves. Just like Madonna, who is celebrated every time she reinvents her image, we need to shed the negative connotations associated with change and embrace it as a powerful push forward.
Have you ever felt super overwhelmed and burned out by the constant demands of social media and entrepreneurship? I know I have. In this episode, I share my personal journey of finding balance and peace by stepping away from the relentless hustle of entrepreneurship and taking a part-time job. This decision not only provided financial stability but also greatly improved my mental health and happiness. The ...
In this episode, I share an update on how things are really going since leaving business coaching and why I broke up with personal development.
