Ladies... you've been lied to: • Discussing the ridiculous things I was told about nutrition and fitness as a woman and how to fight against that. • What women actually tell me what they want and the juxtaposition of how they're told to achieve it. • I talk about the truth of getting that lean, toned physique... and that involves eating enough food and lifting heavy shit. • Why this led me to creating The Flex Fam and how I get amped about women supporting women.

Why Do I Do What I Do?

My personal transformation has served as the blueprint to helping my clients' out: • I know what it feels like to continue to spin your wheels.

Upper vs. Lower Glutes

2024-04-1302:39

When it comes to changing your body composition, I think we've been lied to: • What would it mean for you to take up more space, contrary to what the media has led you to believe? • What if you were told instead, that getting that lean, toned physique came from lifting heavy weights and eating more food? • What if I told you that you've been wasting your time with restrictive diets and doing cardio all of these years? • What would happen if you put aside what you've been previously did and tried something new?
