Description

Warrior woman, welcome back to the mic girl. It's been a hot minute since we hung out, and today I wanna go deep with you on something that's holding so many women back in their health, their training, and their lives: the 'checklist era'.
You know her. The macros. The reps. The Zone 2. The rules. The never-ending to-do list of what to eat, how to train, and when to sleep.


But here’s the truth girl: checklists don’t build bodies. Systems do.


In this EP, I break down what strategy actually means, why it's the missing link in your training and nutrition, and how to build a system that actually fits your life. I talk through the 3 identity shifts you need to make to move from exhausted and stuck to powerful and consistent. And I tell you exactly what I teach inside Warrior School when it comes to becoming a woman who can hold the body and the life she wants.


So grab a coffee, go for a walk, and let’s hang out.


IN THIS EPISODE I BREAK DOWN:



  • Why we cling to checklists when we feel overwhelmed, tired, or stuck

  • The biggest identity shift I had to make (that changed everything)

  • What an elegant strategy actually looks like (hint: it's not a plan)

  • The four pillars of every powerful strategy

  • How to move from reactive to resilient

  • Why doing more isn’t the answer—but holding more is


3 BIG IDENTITY SHIFTS TO BECOME THE WOMAN WHO HOLDS MORE



  1. From checklists to systems: Becoming the woman who trains with strategy (not just ticking boxes)

  2. From just showing up to execution: Learning to execute at the level required for the results you want

  3. From reacting to adapting: Building the skill of pivoting, not pausing, when life gets messy


POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE



  • "You don't become a badass by doing more. You become a badass by learning how to hold more."

  • "Checklists live in isolation. Systems talk to each other."

  • "Everything you've done so far has gotten you here. But becoming her? That’s a whole new identity."

  • "Execution is doing the right thing, the right way, at the right time—at the level required for the results you want."

  • "If you're still stuck, it's not because you're lazy. It's because no one taught you how to build a system that fits your life."
