In this episode, we’re uncovering a blind spot that keeps so many women stuck: the “everyone else first” trap.

I’ll walk you through why this pattern is so common, how to recognize when it’s happening, and most importantly, how to shift from guilt and shame into awareness and empowerment. If you’re ready to start putting y...

If you’ve ever wondered where that line is, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Let's dive in! Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/384 Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!

This conversation will help you see that. As you listen, ask yourself: Where is comparison showing up in your life and kee...

I really enjoy this podcast series because Amber is so good at recognizing and helping to changing so many mindsets pertaining to health and fitness! Her theory is to truly change the mindset, mental road blocks, and definition of success to make goals achievable. I love how she is helping women to actually recognize the data our bodies give us and take the emotions of eating and food so the decisions are logical based, all of this while helping people feel good about all parts of their fitness journey!
