Taking a break from my normal podcast programming to share our story and common questions about… Why after 4 years, we’re leaving Bali and what’s next! We’ve lived abroad for over 7 years now, and feel fortunate enough to have been welcomed by the Balinese and able to call this island “home” for the majority of that time. It’s been the best journey of our lives and at the same time, we’re ready for the next chapter. If you’re curious about Bali or this journey, take a li...
You’d get an “A+” on your form in any group fitness class… But now you want to go beyond basic form and create a muscle stimulus with each rep.

And exactly how to fix them so your effort finally reflects in your physique. We cover: • Why too much exercise variety is killing your progress • The...
The first 80% of effort gets you healthy. The final 20% is what makes you look fit. Most women I work with can get to that “lean, healthy” range (~25% body fat ~75% lean muscle mass) without much friction. But getting to that next level 20%/80%, where you look toned, defined, and like you lift? That’s where things feel harder and where people who have always been fairly healthy, get stuck. In this episode, I’m breaking down what that final 20% actually looks like and why it feels so di...

A calorie deficit is simple in theory but nuanced in application — and if it isn’t working, it almost always comes down to one thing: you’re not actually in a deficit consistently. The tricky part is there are many situations where you think you’d be in a deficit… but you’re not. I coach so many go getter ladies who are doing everything right, but still miss this, I’ve gotten tracked in this myself too! In this episode, I’m breaking down the 7 most common reasons a calorie deficit stops wor...

I spent 9 intentional, strategic months building my favorite physique to date. Now, I’ve spent the last 9 months simply living in it. No restriction. No “I should be doing XX better”. Just maintenance calories, PRs in the gym, date nights, bikinis, and feeling strong in my skin. In this episode, we cover: What “life on the other side” actually feels like (2,000+ calories, flexibility, confidence) The mistakes that keep high-achieving women spinning their wheelsThe 3-phase str...
Do you know your maintenance calories and why they would change? Most ladies who lift don’t, and it’s the missing baseline for energy, hormone health, muscle growth, and sustainable fat loss. In this episode, I’m breaking down what maintenance calories are, realistic ranges for women who train, what determines yours, and how to use them throughout the year so you stop yo-yo dieting and start eating enough to perform and look your best. You’ll learn: Why maintenance is your body’s ...
I’m convinced that people who ask better questions in the gym grow muscle faster. One of my clients recently sent me a list of very specific questions about her training (the CYS Training Program) like: why she feels a glute exercise in her lower back whether exercise order really matters what RIR actually means when to use grips and more. Once these things are corrected, she’s guaranteed to get more out of the same exact hour she’s already training. ...
These past few weeks have been rough. Between Bali Belly, a histamine flare during ovulation, travel, and taking care of a stray kitten that ultimately didn’t make it, I felt completely thrown off… physically, mentally, and emotionally. This episode is a very real story time about what life actually looked like during that stretch and why I’m sharing it. What surprised me most wasn’t the chaos, but what didn’t fall apart. Even with no energy, skipped grocery runs, and zero mental ...
Wonder why you don't look like the other women who are lifting just like you in the gym? Build your Nutrition Baseline first. Do this and look and feel fitter and tighter in the next 3 weeks. Most women who train hard are missing a nutrition baseline. They fall into one of these categories: 1. Overwhelmed with where to start (and confused by macros) 2. Dabble with macros but aren’t consistent enough with the basics for them to work 3. Have been tracking mac...

Wrapping up the year with real client questions! In this Q&A episode, I'm breaking down three common questions my clients have asked recently: Should you eat before early morning workouts? I explain why pre-workout nutrition matters for muscle building (hint: it's all about muscle glycogen), plus practical ideas for quick-digesting foods when you're training at 5:30 AM. Hitting macro targets vs. macro ranges—what counts? Learn why being within 5-10 grams matters more than you think, and...
If over the holidays you're not worried about the gym because you love it there, but you're worried about the buffet table because you also love it there... this episode is for you. Between now and New Year's, you've probably got 10+ events on your calendar. Office parties, family dinners, Christmas cookies at your desk, hot chocolate movie nights, that's a LOT of free food and drinks. For most, that means adding unwanted body fat. But there is a way to maintain your shape and fe...
I used to think showing up consistently and following a progressive overload program was enough. I was organized, disciplined, and committed - but I was still stuck looking healthy, not fit. It wasn't until I learned how to execute my training and nutrition with precision that everything changed. I realized the missing piece wasn't more effort - it was building systems, mastering execution, and working smarter. In this episode, I'm breaking down the final 5 shifts that took me from healthy ...
I used to think I was doing everything right, lifting consistently, tracking macros, eating protein, doing abs after every workout. But my body didn't reflect all that effort, and I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until I learned the actual science behind building muscle and decreasing body fat that everything clicked. I realized I wasn't missing more action or willpower, I was missing the next level strategy and tools. In this episode, I'm breaking down the first 5 shifts that took...
I used to think more muscle meant I'd just get bigger, or be absolutely shredded and I'd lose my feminine shape. Until I learned how to recomp properly, I saw how building muscle and decreasing body fat created the illusion of my shape becoming curvier, longer, and leaner. Now, I see this every round with my Create Your Shape ladies. Curves and the "out in out" look get emphasized as you decrease body fat. As you gain muscle, everything lifts up creating a tighter appearance, but that a...
After 15 years of lifting, I've learned that training to failure isn't just about “going hard” it's a skill you need to develop and practice. Over the past year, I've grown to love it, but the journey wasn't straightforward. In this episode, I'm breaking down the obstacles I worked through: choosing the right weight, avoiding injury, feeling it in the right muscle, understanding form failure versus muscle failure and more. I'll share the practical strategies that transformed my approach, fro...
