If we were besties sipping coffee (or wine, let’s be honest), and I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings, this is the conversation we’d have.
This episode? It’s for the woman who says she’s “stuck,” who’s tired of tracking every bite, who keeps saying “I just need to get back on track” without asking what that even means anymore.

Ladies, we need to talk about the part of your body you never think about until it literally snaps —your BONES.
Welcome back to the third episode of our Metabolism Series – and today, I’m tackling the one topic that gets everyone in their feelings: FAT LOSS. But let’s be clear… I’m not talking crash diets, cabbage soup, or “skinny by Saturday” nonsense. I’m talking fat loss done right.
If you're a woman over 40 who’s been dieting harder than a 2000s fitness competitor and still not seeing results, th...
Ladies, if money talk makes your eyes glaze over... or you secretly worry you’re “bad” at it... this is THE episode for you.
I’m bringing in my girl Tess Smith, a financial educator who is the exact OPPOSITE of some stiff suit yelling on TV. (No jargon. No shame. No calculator required.)
She’s keeping it SIMPLE and real, because money stress is one of the biggest weight...
Okay magic makers, if you've ever thought maintenance was just code for “you're stuck,” then buckle up, because today’s Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is about to blow that myth straight outta your protein shake.
I’m diving DEEP into the most underrated phase of fat loss: MAINTENANCE (aka the peaceful middle ground where your metabolism gets to breathe and your sanity comes back).
You don’t need another diet.
You need a reason to stop chasing skinny like it’s still 1999.
In this week’s Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I’m joined by Olivia Young—a coach who gets it. We both work with women who’ve spent years stuck in the “eat less, m...
If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent more summers than you’d like to admit bouncing between being “on plan” or going completely off the rails—then beating yourself up for it.
I used to believe that if I wasn’t starving, sore, and checking every damn box on a to-do list, I was failing.
In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I’m calling BS on all of that.
I’m sharing...

Ever found yourself in a hospital room Googling “all the medical mumbo jumbo that you just heard from five different people in white coats? Or maybe you’ve sat there silently, praying someone would just translate what's happening to your mom or spouse? You're not alone. Hospitals can be overwhelming AF.
When our loved ones get admitted, we’re handed forms, not answers. We're expected to tru...
Hey Magic Makers — let’s talk about how the scale might be doing you dirty!
Let me guess you are eating “clean,” tracking your food, working out when you can, and still feel like the scale is mocking you?
You’re not broken… but your metabolism might be straight-up exhausted.
In this kickoff to the Metabolism Reset Series, I’m breaking down why your ...
Feeling stuck AF?
You’re not broken — your intuition’s just been on mute.
Today, I’m chatting with the amazing Isabel Chiara to uncover how to stop sabotaging yourself, trust your gut again, and actually nourish your mind, body, and soul — without feeling like you’re a DIY project that needs constant fixing.
We’re swerving off the usual path and get...
300 episodes?! I KNOW. I can’t believe it either. Today, I’m throwing confetti, having a moment, and keeping it as real as ever.
In this special milestone episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the actual behind-the-scenes of building and sustaining this podcast—no highlight reel BS, just truth bombs, bloopers, breakdowns, and breakthroughs.
Whether you’ve been here s...
If you’ve ever said, “My stomach hates me,” this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is your permission slip to stop guessing and finally figure out what’s actually going on inside that bloated, confused belly of yours.
Bloat by noon? Clothes suddenly tight? Brain fog, mood swings, or feeling like your body’s just off? Yeah, your gut’s probably waving a white flag—and I’ve invited Lindsay Renter...
If you think health has to be hard, restrictive, and basically suck the joy outta life—this episode is your wake-up call.
I’m joined by Justin Nault, founder of Clovis (and one of the very few dudes I’ve let crash the mic), and trust me—he earns his seat. He and I talk food freedom, telling diet culture to go pound sand, and finally learning how to feel unbothered by what other people think...
In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I’m talking all about when you’re saying, “I’m fine, everything’s fine” when everything is not as fine as you want it to be. Yeah, this vibe might be the very thing blocking your weight loss, stealing your sleep, jacking your mood, and wrecking your energy like a toddler on a sugar bender.
I’m breaking down the hidden...
If you’ve ever wondered whether fasting is your golden ticket or just another wellness trend that will leave you frustrated—this episode is for YOU.
I sat down with Renee Fitton from Prolon to break down intermittent fasting vs. fasting mimicking—and spoiler alert: yes, there’s a difference, and yes, it matters, especially if you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause.
Ladies, we are NOT here for workouts that leave us exhausted, burnt out, and questioning all our life choices. Today, we’re talking about the reality check that hits after 40—when your old gym tricks stop working, and your hormones decide to throw a party you didn’t want an invite to.
If you’ve ever wondered why your two-hour gym sessions aren’t giving you the results they used to—or if you...
You know those moments when you catch your reflection and think, wait… is this my body now?! Yeah, we’re going THERE today.
This episode is a must for every woman over 40 who’s tired of feeling like her body is giving her the finger. I sat down with Nicole Meline, and we’re talking about ditching outdated fitness rules, reclaiming joy in movement, and actually loving your body—without the “...
Let’s be honest —working out in your 40s isn’t what it used to be. Once upon a time, two-hour gym sessions and body-part splits made sense. But now? Your body’s like, “Nah, girl, we need a new plan.”
If you’ve been stuck in the “more is better” trap—grinding out hours of cardio, punishing yourself with workouts that leave you exhausted, or feeling guilty because you can’t commit to marathon...
I’m thrilled to share my latest episode where I get real with Elizabeth Strenzel about the magic of setting boundaries. I’ve always believed that my health journey isn’t just about the right diet or workout—it’s about the boundaries I set for myself.
