Because here's the truth: da...
Back in my competition days, rest days weren't a thing. My "recovery" was half-assed yoga followed by guilt because I wasn't drenched in sweat. If I wasn't training six days a week with a side of cardio, I thought my gains would evaporate.
Sound familiar?
Fast-forward to today, I've softened my stance. Most women I coach are ju...
You've heard me preach about the power of good fats, and this week, I finally sat down with the man who literally started the good‑oil movement: Udo Erasmus, creator of the legendary Udo's 3‑6
Alright, Magic Makers—today I'm getting a little spicy.
I'm calling out the two lies I used to tell myself all the damn time, and if you've ever said, "I'll start when things calm down" or "I just need 30 days to get my sh*t together," this one's gonna sting (in a good way).
If you've ever stared at your supplement stash wondering if any of it's actually doing something, this Fit Girl Magic episode is your wake-up call.

Okay, real talk — I had to ask myself the question I'd been obsessed with the Reddit forum: Am I the A🤬 hole?
And when it came to my fitness journey… yeah, I was.
In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I spent years bullying my body, pushing harder, eating less, stressing more, and wondering why nothing was working.
A🤬hole alert: my body wasn't broken. It was burned out.
So, I got curious.

Ever feel like your body is straight-up rebelling?
You're eating clean, working out, doing all the "right" things, but the scale won't budge, your moods are a rollercoaster, and you're ready to scream into a pillow every time someone asks, "What's for dinner?"

What if the harder you try, the more stuck you actually get?
I know, sounds backwards, but I learned this lesson the hard way. Picture this: I'm in Hawaii, surrounded by paradise, and instead of enjoying the damn beach, I'm in full-blown meltdown mode over whether I earned my Mai Tai.
That was the moment I realized… something h...

Here's the truth: once you hit your 40s, those 2-hour gym marathons and bro-split routines aren't just outdated… they're working against you. What used to keep you lean and strong is now leaving you exhausted, inflamed, and frustrated.

Do you have the syndrome? You know… the one where someone asks, "Hey, can you make the homecoming banner?" and before your brain or calendar catches up, your mouth says, "Of course!" Then five minutes later you remember… you've got a major deadline, three other commitments, and exactly zero extra hours this week.
This week, I'm sitting down with therapist (and fel...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
