Description

Hey there, mama. Do you wish you ate healthier but your busy schedule has you grabbing for convenience food or finding yourself at the drive-thru several times a week? 


Are you sick of your clothes not fitting and wish that you felt like yourself again? 


Does the word “diet” make you cringe because you’re reminded of all the times you’ve tried to lose weight - only to feel constantly hungry and deprived?


I am so excited you're here! In this podcast, you will learn proven brain-based nutrition and fitness habits that will help you understand how to eat and move your body in a way that fuels your body and mind - so you can keep up with those crazy kids! 

You’ll feel more energetic, confident in your clothes, and consistent in sustainable routines that are realistic for your busy life and also support your health goals.


Hey, I’m Alisha. A wife, mom, fitness/nutrition/lifestyle coach. I dieted for over a decade, losing and regaining the same weight over and over. I was not only chasing a number on the scale, but I was also trying to be everything to everyone, which only left me feeling more exhausted and worse about myself.


I finally realized that if I was going to show up as the wife and mom I wanted and find freedom in my health I needed to work on my relationship to food, exercise, my body, and myself. I learned about the power of changing our brain (aka our thinking) - and our behavior- through habits that supported the healthy lifestyle that I craved. And now I’m ready to share everything I’ve learned with you!


If you are ready to finally find a simple nutrition and fitness plan that is built for busy moms...

Feel better in your clothes and about what you see in the mirror...

Results that are undeniable like more energy to serve your family well,

Fat loss (without feeling deprived or restricted), improved mood, and better sleep - this podcast is for you!


Grab your protein smoothie, lace up your shoes, and let’s get StrongHER - together!
