GLP-1s and peptides are everywhere right now — from social media buzz to doctor’s offices to dinner table conversations. The hype promises quick fixes, but here’s the truth: no shot, pill, or peptide can replace the foundations of nutrition, movement, and mindset. In this episode, I break down what GLP-1s and peptides actually do (in plain English), where they can help, and why habits still matter more than ever. If you’re curious about these tools — or wondering if they’re the “easy button” ...
Wellbeing isn’t just a personal pursuit — it’s a foundation for how we show up and lead in the workplace.

You’re tracking, you’re consistent, you’re showing up… but the scale won’t budge, or progress feels slower than it should. Chances are, it’s not the meals you plan — it’s the hidden calories you don’t even realize you’re consuming. In this episode, we’re shining a light on the silent roadblocks that sneak into your day: from bites of kids’ food to the pour of olive oil that turns into a glug. This isn’t about restriction — it’s about awareness. Because when you see them, you can account for t...
If Mondays always feel like a “reset,” it’s time to rethink how you approach the weekend. In this episode, I’m breaking down the weekday vs. weekend trap that keeps so many of us stuck in the cycle of being strict Monday–Friday and spiraling Saturday–Sunday. You’ll learn how to: • Reframe weekends as part of your progress, not an exception to it • Build anchor habits that keep you consistent without being rigid • Balance flexibility and structure so you stop starting over every Monday Consist...
If your life feels like a blur of alarms, drop-offs, packed lunches, sports schedules, and endless emails… you’re not alone. This “chaos season” shows up for all of us, and it’s easy to let it pull you off track. But what if the overwhelm could actually become an opportunity to reset? In this episode, I share my own messy, very real transition back into corporate life while juggling coaching, family, and a full calendar — and how that chaos forced me to create structure that actually works.&n...

The Mirror Moment

This week we are taking a Momentum Moment that might just be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. We’re calling this one: “Mirror Moment.” Because at some point, you’ve got to get real with yourself about the gap between the life you say you want—and the life your daily habits are building. In this no-fluff episode, I’m inviting you to pause and ask the two questions that changed my own journey forever: What level of effort am I currently giving? And what level of effort am I willing...
We’ve been told the scale is the ultimate measure of success. But here’s the truth: what you’re made of matters far more than what you weigh.

You’ll learn: Why scale weight is often misleading (and what it doesn’t tell you)What body composition really means and how to track itHow building lean muscle transforms your metabolism, energy, and physique — even if the number on the scale doesn’t...

Inside, we unpack: Why choosing yourself isn’t rude—it’s respectScripts for handling food pressure with kindness and confidenceA powerful client story on perfectionism, people-pleasing, and taking ownershipThe shift from explain...
Most of us don’t struggle because we don’t know what to do for our health. We struggle because we won’t protect the space to actually do it. This week on Momentum Vitamins, we’re diving into a topic I live, coach, and fiercely believe in: personal boundaries. Inspired by a real-life client story, this episode unpacks what happens when we let other people’s plans override our own—and how reclaiming your space, your schedule, and your standards is the most loving thing you can do for yourself. ...
This week on Momentum Vitamins, we’re changing it up — and I couldn’t be more excited!! You hear a lot from me as a coach... but today, you’re getting a powerful perspective from the other side of the table. Have you met a person, or worked with one, and thought WOW you just inspire me?! For me, it’s Rhonda — She’s a client, fellow engineer, and a dear friend who’s walking proof that it’s never too late to take back control of your health, your energy, and your life. In this deeply hone...
The Secret Sauce to Gains If you grew up fearing carbs—counting, cutting, or completely avoiding them—you’re not alone. We were told carbs were the enemy. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to cut carbs to get lean. In fact… you probably need more of them. In this episode, I’m breaking down the myths that diet culture handed us about carbs—and walking you through how to actually use them to build muscle, feel energized, support your hormones, and finally feel like yourself again. Whet...
You hit your goal. You're eating more. You're not gaining… but you’re not losing either. So what now? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the most underrated phase of nutrition: maintenance. It's the quiet middle ground between cutting and building—where your body finally gets to breathe, recalibrate, and recover. But here’s the thing: maintenance isn’t just where you pause—it’s where you prepare for your next big leap. We cover: What maintenance really means (hint: it’s more than just the ...
In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most heartfelt and foundational topics for parents—how we model healthy habits and talk to our kids about food and nutrition. Whether you're raising daughters, sons, or both, you’ve probably already seen how different those experiences can be—and how early the seeds of body image and food beliefs start to form. I share the exact language I use with my own kids when it comes to exercise, food choices, and even weighing and measuring my meals. Yo...
It’s the word that never doesn’t come up… Whether your goals are fat loss, muscle gain, or just feeling your best—protein is always in the conversation. In this episode of Momentum Vitamins, we’re breaking down exactly why this one macronutrient pulls so much weight (literally). From muscle repair and metabolism to hormones, hunger, and immune support—protein is the unsung hero of your daily nutrition. You’ll learn: What protein actually does in the body (it’s more than just gains)Why it matt...
Sometimes it’s not the big breakdowns that shake us—it’s the tiny interruptions. The moments where we had a plan that didn’t happen. An indulgence that threatens to throw off our macros. We hit snooze and skipped a workout. In this episode, I share a real-life blip that could’ve (okay fine, by could’ve I mean TOTALLY DID) spiraled into frustration stopping me dead in my tracks. Luckily, I paused with some help from my husband (he’s the real MVP of this story), created a new plan, and I moved ...
In this episode of Momentum Vitamins, we dig deep into what true, sustainable health really means — and why it’s about so much more than numbers on a scale.
