If you've ever felt like you "fall off" your health, fitness, or self-care goals… this episode is for you. Today's conversation is pulled straight from a Healthy & Hot membership call, where we go way deeper than workouts or meal plans. We're talking about the real reason consistency feels so hard and why it's not because you're lazy, broken, or lacking discipline. This episode is all about main character energy, identity shifts, and what actually needs to happen before you set goals for 2026. Because if you don't change the woman making the decisions, you'll just repeat the same cycle with a shiny new plan. If you're tired of collecting programs that never stick and you're ready to stop sleepwalking into another year, this is your wake-up call!

Unpopular truth: the reason most women struggle with health, fitness, confidence, and follow-through isn't because they don't know what to eat or how to work out - it's because they're still making decisions from an old identity. In the first episode of my Main Character Energy series, I'm breaking down why identity shifting is the real missing piece behind lasting change (and why motivation alone never works). I'm sharing my personal evolution, why autopilot habits keep you stuck, and yes… why we're starting this series with makeup (stick with me). We'll talk surprising facts about appearance, how small rituals change how you show up, my own main character makeup routine (even if you're not a makeup girly), and how this deeper identity work actually makes results stick -  not just in January, but for good. If you're done with your old bullshit and ready to step into your main character era, you're in the right place!

If you've ever been curious about period underwear but also kinda scared to try it… this is your episode. Today I'm chatting with Arielle Loupos, founder of FlowerGirl, and her story, her mission, and her product completely blew me away. Arielle creates non-toxic, beautifully designed period underwear  including the viral period thong and let me tell you… I was skeptical. Then I tried it, fell in love, messaged her immediately, and said: "You need to come on the podcast."  In this episode, we get super real. We talk about why traditional period care (tampons, pads, cups, discs) can cause problems, why so many women deal with cramps and PMS that aren't actually "normal," and how materials, toxins, and synthetic fibers impact our hormones more than we think. Arielle shares her journey from e-commerce to product creation, what it really takes to make functional, sexy, non-toxic underwear, and how she's disrupting a category that desperately needs it. We also dig into the misconceptions around period underwear - the "diaper feeling" myth, the fear of leaks, the cleaning process, and why so many women are shocked once they finally try a pair. And of course, I share my own story of trying the FlowerGirl thong on my heaviest day… and becoming immediately obsessed!  You've been running on empty long enough.

If you've ever wondered whether your pelvic floor issues are "normal"… this episode is for you. Today I'm sitting down with pelvic health expert Dr. Sarah Tally to talk about the things women whisper about, ignore, or think they just have to "deal with" as they get older - leaking, urgency, pain with sex, constipation, postpartum changes, perimenopause shifts, AND the stuff nobody warned us about. Sarah shares how she found her way into pelvic floor physical therapy, why women over 40 dismiss symptoms that actually aren't normal, and the surprising signs your pelvic floor needs support (even if you've never had kids). We dig into bladder habits, urgency triggers, constipation, painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, hormone changes, and why so many women are stuck thinking a "tiny bladder" is just their personality trait. You'll also learn simple strategies to calm urgency, retrain your bladder, and understand what's really going on with your pelvic floor - all in a down-to-earth, totally shame-free way! If you've ever peed a little when you laugh, felt like you need the bathroom every 10 minutes, or wondered whether dryness or pain is just part of getting older… this is your episode. Pull up a seat, get comfy, and let's talk about the stuff women deserve to understand. You've been running on empty long enough.

In today's episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing seven exercises that have absolutely nothing to do with the gym, your macros, or the perfect meal plan but have everything to do with why you aren't losing weight. After almost twenty years coaching women, I've seen over and over that the real struggle isn't usually about calories or workouts. It's the emotional load, the stress, the old stories we're still believing, and the way we keep putting everyone else first. This episode kicks off a deeper four-phase process I'm calling an iconic reclamation: regulate, reconnect, redefine, and reclaim.  I'm getting honest about the unconventional work that actually moves the needle, why therapy can be the most powerful weight-loss tool you're not using, and why doing less might be the thing that finally gets your body and mind back on track. If you're a high-performing woman who keeps starting and stopping programs and wondering why nothing sticks, this conversation is the missing piece! You've been running on empty long enough.

If you're a woman over 40 trying to build muscle, burn fat, and not lose your mind in the process, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down the biggest takeaways from Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's interview with Thomas DeLauer - specifically her approach to body recomposition and what it really takes to grow muscle and lose fat at the same time. As an IFBB bodybuilding pro who's coached women for almost 20 years, I'm giving you my honest thoughts, what actually works in the real world, and where most women go wrong once hormones, aging, and metabolism shifts start kicking in! We're talking protein targets that actually make sense, how much you really need, what supplements are worth your time, and why creatine isn't scary. I'm also getting into resistance training basics, how many sets you actually need per muscle group, and what a realistic weekly training plan looks like if you're trying to change your body in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. If you want to build muscle, burn fat, stay healthy, and look hot doing it without drowning in misinformation, you're in the right place! You've been running on empty long enough.

If you're listening in real time, Thanksgiving is right around the corner - so today we're getting into something deeper than holiday chaos and fitness goals. Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio. I'm Diane Flores, and I'm gearing up to spend the week with all three of my grown kiddos in Vegas. Big adult humans… still my babies. You know how it goes! In this episode, I'm giving you a sneak peek inside one of our live coaching calls from The Healthy & Hot Method, my weekly membership where we build inner strength and outer strength because you truly can't have one without the other. We talk boundaries, identity shifts, willpower myths, emotional eating, and the real work that actually keeps results from slipping through your fingers every time life gets messy. Today we dive into the patterns that keep you stuck and how to finally step into the version of yourself you say you want to be. The woman with standards. The woman with boundaries. The woman who doesn't outsource her power to a new diet every time life gets chaotic. The main character energy you've buried? It's time to pull her out.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sat down with Gemma James, the host of Muse Yourself Podcast for a deep and honest conversation about my journey, my reinventions, and the many chapters that led me to where I am today. Gemma interviews me about how my life shifted from becoming a teen mom at 16, to raising two children on my own, to navigating toxic workplaces, financial struggle, and the overwhelming pressure of simply trying to survive!  I share how fitness became my lifeline during some of my darkest moments, helping me manage depression and slowly rebuild my confidence. We talk about how a random idea turned into a thriving pole dancing business, how that evolved into a women's strength studio, and how following tiny nudges without knowing the full plan turned into a career of helping women over 40 feel strong, capable, and connected to their bodies! This episode dives into midlife health, reinvention, the power of movement, and the surprising path that brought me from government aid to coaching women worldwide. If you're craving a fresh start or love hearing raw, real stories of growth and grit, this conversation with Gemma is one you'll want to hear.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Gilly, the founder of Gilly's Organics and the host of Everyday Rock Stars. Her story is wild - in the best way! Gilly went from freelancing for huge brands like Estée Lauder, Clinique, Jo Malone, and Aveda… to suddenly losing the client that made up most of her work. Instead of going back to corporate, she followed this little spark she always had for mixing things, creating products, and helping people feel good in their skin. We talk about how Gilly's Organics actually started (spoiler: a DIY scrub and a friend who believed in her), how she got her products into Whole Foods for eight straight years, what pushed her to expand from one product to a full nine-product line, how losing her mom changed everything, how her love for storytelling led to the Everyday Rock Stars podcast, the confidence, grit, and mindset pieces entrepreneurs never talk about, what she does when self-doubt creeps in, and the movement and routines that keep her grounded. This one is full of honesty, hustle, heart, and that "just start" energy so many of us need.

This week on Boss Bitch Radio, we're going deep into mental strength, holiday triggers, and why your mindset is the real foundation of your health and fitness journey. If the holidays bring up anxiety, old patterns, or family dynamics you'd rather avoid, you're not alone. Inside my coaching program, The Healthy and Hot Method, we've been breaking down the book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin, and today I'm giving you a real behind-the-scenes look at our call. We unpacked why so many women fall into the "poor me" loop, how those thoughts quietly sabotage your progress, and how to finally shift your mental patterns so you can move forward instead of staying stuck. I'm sharing vulnerable parts of my own story, the "tapes" I played for years during a painful chapter of my life, and the exact journaling prompts and mindset tools I teach my clients to help them break out of old beliefs. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unworthy, or like you can't catch a break, this episode will land for you! You've been running on empty long enough.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sit down with Angie Bailey, a former nurse who completely reinvented her life through creativity and calligraphy. After 25 years in nursing and battling Hashimoto's and burnout, Angie rediscovered her passion for art and founded Calming Calligraphy turning her healing hobby into a thriving business! We talk about how slowing down, letting yourself play, and reconnecting with your creativity can become a powerful tool for mindfulness and stress relief. Angie's story is proof that burnout can be the redirection you didn't know you needed. If you've ever felt stuck, overworked, or like you've lost your spark, this episode will remind you that your creativity isn't gone - it's just waiting for you to remember it!

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're talking about why your mindset - not just your meal plan or workout - determines how far you go. I'm bringing you inside a real call from my Healthy and Hot Method membership, where we're diving into 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin. We unpack how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors shape everything from your confidence to your consistency, and why mental strength is the foundation for setting boundaries, staying focused, and showing up for yourself especially when life gets messy. If you've ever found yourself stuck in self-doubt, people-pleasing, or "starting over" mode, this conversation will help you step into your power and finally make yourself a front-burner priority.

If you've ever caught yourself saying "yes" when you really wanted to say "no," this episode is 100% for you. I'm diving into one of the biggest mindset blocks I see inside my Healthy and Hot Method membership - people pleasing and how it's quietly draining your energy, wrecking your routines, and keeping you stuck! In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm pulling back the curtain on a private members-only coaching call where we talk all about boundaries, why women struggle to stay consistent, and how to start saying "no" without feeling guilty. I also share lessons from "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" by Amy Morin, including how to stop worrying about what everyone thinks and start showing up for yourself unapologetically.

Alexandra Simms thought she was living the perfect life - successful career, beautiful family, everything "right" on paper. Then breast cancer changed everything. In this raw and powerful conversation, Alexandra shares how her 2017 diagnosis became the turning point that forced her to stop people-pleasing, start healing, and finally live in alignment with who she really is. We talk about burnout, trauma, motherhood, and what it means to let something painful wake you up instead of break you! Listen to Alexandra's journey, how she created her podcast Cancer Cured Me, and why she believes life gives you one chance to get it right. #HealingJourney #HealingAfterCancer #MindsetShift   Key Takeaways: 00:00 Let's talk about life like it's a game 00:26 Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio 00:29 Meet Alexandra Simms, host of Cancer Cured Me 01:27 What life looked like before her cancer journey 05:09 The diagnosis that changed everything 08:45 How "Cancer Cured Me" became a mindset shift 13:35 Exploring alternative healing and natural therapies 15:24 How breath work became part of her recovery 18:51 Breaking free from people pleasing 21:37 Meet Elsie and why boundaries matter 22:11 The real talk on health struggles and burnout 24:24 Alexandra's daily wellness routine 26:20 Healing naturally and finding peace after cancer 29:58 What's next her new projects and retreats 31:45 Human design, self-discovery, and personal growth 35:23 Her biggest lessons on living your best life 37:14 Wrapping it up - where to connect with Alexandra!   Links Mentioned:  If Alexandra's story hit home for you, don't stop here!
