I Heard You When You Said
How do you shift the voice in your head from relentless critic to valuable compass? Join hosts Justin and Stacey (founders of Fortify Health Coaching) as they decode the stories we tell ourselves—one stubborn thought pattern at a time. Like gardeners pruning back overgrown mental stories, we show how your chosen words directly impact your stress response and hormone balance (and what you can do to help). For women navigating the messy middle of life who go between "I'll start tomorrow" and "I've already ruined everything," we offer something beyond the typical mindset pep talk. Our conversations blend two unique coaching perspectives—because sometimes the best insights come from where you least expect them. No perfectly curated self-improvement journey here—just real talk, unexpected laughs, and the occasional moment when you'll think, "Are they eavesdropping on my thoughts?" Listen in. Your all or nothing mindset is the lock we're here to pick.

For our second iteration in the Rules of Engagement series we are bringing you another principle we lean on heavily. The concept of monitoring you thoughts simply means we are watching what pops up in our head. When we get good at paying attention to that, we get better at managing how our emotions come through and use them to our advantage as best we can. You're gonna love this one!
