If you’ve ever told yourself “I don’t have time to take care of myself” because you’re too busy taking care of everyone else — this one’s for you.

Whether it’s your kids, your job, your partner, aging parents, or your community — a lot of us are constantly pouring out… while running on empty.

In this episode, I’m sharing a concept from CrossFit — “core to extremity” — and how it changed the way I think about showing up for others. We’re talking about where real strength comes from, what happens when we don’t start at the center, and how taking care of yourself first is not selfish — it’s strategic.

If you feel stretched thin or burned out, this might be the reframe you didn’t know you needed.

• What CrossFit taught me about power and strength — and how it applies to your life

• The lie behind “I don’t have time for myself”

• What happens when you serve from depletion vs. strength

• A new way to think about self-care (that’s not bubble baths and yoga pants)

• What I learned during one of the hardest seasons of my life — and how I show up differently now

After years away from hosting in-person events, I finally gathered with an intimate group of women from The Consistency Course — and what unfolded was deeper, more transformational, and more real than I could’ve imagined.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the most powerful workshop exercise we did — the one that opened eyes, hearts, and sparked real change.
It was the moment everything clicked for so many of us.

And the best part? You don’t need to have been in the room to experience its impact.

• The card exercise that revealed the cost of our excuses

• Why “good enough” is sometimes just a comfortable cage

• The difference between working in your life vs. on your life

• Why you might be clinging to your “red shovel” without realizing it

• How vulnerability + community = acceleration

Most people focus on offense — plans, goals, strategies. Defense is what keeps it all from collapsing. It’s how you show up when it’s hard, inconvenient, or not working, and it’s the reason real change lasts.

What if procrastination isn’t the real problem?
What if what you see — the delay, the excuses, the inconsistency — is just smoke… and the real fire is underneath?

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through a real conversation I had with a client in DEFENSE, where we uncovered the truth behind her procrastination — and it wasn’t time management. It wasn’t planning. It was belief. Identity. A narrow picture of what change had to look like… that she didn’t even want to live.

We talk about:

• Why solving surface problems doesn’t lead to lasting change

• How “diet food” and “I don’t like exercise” become unconscious blocks

• What to do when you tell yourself “I’m just not worthy”

• Why you don’t need to be addicted to your comfort zone anymore

You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. But you might be stuck in a loop of trying the same things over and over — even when they’ve never worked.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into learned helplessness: why you feel like nothing works, how your brain tricks you into repeating the past, and what you can do to finally break free.

We’ll unpack:

• Why recycling effort isn’t the same as solving the problem

• How you’ve been overemphasizing options and underemphasizing choice

• The trap of only considering what you’ve already tried

• The epidemic of passive consumption (and why it’s costing you your ability to think)

This is a wake-up call and a relief — because once you see the loop, you can step out of it.

The 8-week DEFENSE program is where we change your operating system — so you stop defaulting to what’s familiar and start acting from clarity, strength, and self-trust.

I’ve been asked about this multiple times, so here we go.

Today’s episode is a little different. It’s personal. It’s about my faith.

You don’t have to agree with me, in fact, I think it might be most valuable to listen if you don’t. Because this isn’t about convincing anyone. It’s about sharing how my faith impacts the way I experience fear, anxiety, the world around me, and how I lead my family.

I’m not a theologian. I’m not here to debate doctrine. I’m just here to tell the truth about what’s changed for me and how that plays out in real life.

Whether you’ve been curious about my faith journey or you’re just struggling to stay grounded in a chaotic world, I hope this meets you right where you are.

If you’ve been told that PCOS is all about insulin resistance and high testosterone, you’ve only been told part of the story. In this episode, we’re digging into the hormonal chain reaction that causes those symptoms—starting with unopposed estrogen, low progesterone, and disrupted thyroid function.

You’ll learn:

• Why estrogen isn’t the enemy (and when it is)

• How estrogen increases free fatty acids and triggers insulin resistance

• The overlooked connection between thyroid, cortisol, and your cycle

• What to do if you can’t get the right labs from your doctor

• What tests actually give you answers—not more questions

• How to support your hormones without crash dieting or chasing carbs around

• My go-to tools, supplements, and strategies for PCOS, hormone repair, and metabolic balance

This episode is both dense and actionable—bookmark it, take notes, and share it with someone who’s tired of being told to just “cut carbs” and “lose weight.”

Coming soon: The next round of DEFENSE. I'll only be working with 20 people and we will co-create your defensive playbook!

This episode is a mix of practical strategies and personal philosophy, pulled straight from your questions about how I run my home and raise my kids — while still prioritizing consistency, growth, and sanity.

Here’s what we cover:

✅ Why I don’t pick up after my kids — and what that has to do with leadership, growth, and long-term habits
✅ What I really want to instill in my kids (hint: it’s way deeper than manners or obedience)
✅ The power of “restraint + kindness” — and how that’s redefining the way I see mercy
✅ How I work to avoid helicopter parenting (even when I really want to intervene)
✅ Easy, healthy meal ideas for busy moms (or anyone who doesn’t want to live in the kitchen)
✅ My personal food strategy: “Dinner once, lunch twice”
✅ How to keep food and parenting simple — but effective

We’re quick to spot the truth in other people’s choices:
“If he would just manage his time better…”
“If she’d finish one thing before starting the next…”

But when it comes to our own patterns? The truth feels harder to see — and even harder to admit.

In this episode, I’m digging into the critical practice of telling yourself the truth — the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Because the stories we tell ourselves don’t have to be true to shape our lives. They just have to go unopposed.

You’ll hear:

• Why it’s easier to analyze their problems than to face our own

• How “permissive phrases” like “I’ll start tomorrow” or “I need this to take the edge off” quietly run the show

• A client story that shows exactly how to challenge vague justifications and uncover the truth

• The difference between evaluation (judging yourself) and coaching (creating a way forward)

• A simple 3-step challenge to practice radical honesty and break free from excuses and procrastination

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep starting over, why you feel stuck in cycles of “I’ll do better tomorrow,” or why it’s so much easier to see solutions for other people than for yourself — this episode will be a game-changer.

✨ Your breakthrough is on the other side of one question: “What’s the truth here?”
