If you're feeling frustrated, stuck, or out of sync with your body in midlife, her story will offer hope, insight, and a reminder that it's never too late to take back control of your health.

Get ready for some serious light bulb moments in this episode as I share a live coaching session from one of our MACROS 101 calls with Anna. If tracking your food has ever felt overwhelming, frustrating, or like a constant test of perfection, you're going to relate to this one. Anna came into our conversation feeling stuck—swinging between obsessively tracking every gram and giving up altogether when she couldn't be perfect. Together, we unpacked her resistance and reframed tracking as a tool for learning, not a test to pass or fail. You'll hear the exact questions I asked that helped shift her mindset and reveal how powerful a simple perspective change can be. Tracking isn't about control—it's about understanding. And when you approach it with curiosity instead of judgment, that's where the real freedom begins.

I cannot believe it's DAY 5 already! I'm so proud of all of you for making it to the end of the week...now let's finish strong together!At the core of everything—beyond your environment, behaviors, skills, and beliefs—is who you are. Your identity shapes every decision you make, whether you realize it or not. If you see yourself as someone who always struggles with weight loss, your actions will reinforce that. But when you shift your identity to I am someone who follows through, I am someone who prioritizes my health, I am an athlete—your choices start to align with that new identity automatically. This is the secret to lasting transformation: when healthy habits aren't just something you do, but part of who you are. And that's exactly what we're uncovering today during our live Transformation Training.

You can have the right environment, the right behaviors, and even the right skills—but if your beliefs don't support your goals, you'll constantly self-sabotage. What you believe about yourself, about food, about weight loss matters because your actions will always align with your deepest beliefs. If you believe you're someone who always falls off the wagon, guess what? You will. But if you believe you're capable, resilient, and worthy of success, your actions will start to reflect that. This is the real work of transformation—shifting the beliefs that have been holding you back. And that's exactly what we're diving into today during our live Transformation Training.

You can have the perfect environment and the right behaviors in place, but if you don't have the skills to back them up, it's like trying to navigate in the dark. That's where macro counting steps in—it's the game-changer that takes the guesswork out of nutrition and helps you figure out exactly how much protein, carbs, and fat your body needs to see real results. Trust me, once you master this skill, you'll wonder how you ever did without it. And that's why, today during our live Transformation Training, I'm introducing the skill of macro counting..

You can have the best intentions, the perfect plan, and all the motivation in the world—but if your daily behaviors don't align with your goal, you'll keep spinning your wheels. When it comes to fat loss, it's not about guessing, hoping, or crossing your fingers that the scale moves—it's about consistently creating a caloric deficit. That doesn't mean starving yourself or cutting out foods you love, but it does mean being intentional about your choices. Because at the end of the day, results don't come from what you know, they come from what you do. And if you're ready to make sure your actions match your goals, that's exactly what we're diving into today during our live Transformation Training.You can still join this challenge; it's not too late!

You've probably heard the saying, you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with—but have you ever stopped to think about how your environment is shaping your success (or keeping you stuck)? The truth is, no matter how much willpower you have, if your surroundings aren't supporting your goals, you're making things way harder than they need to be. That's why, today during our live Transformation Training, I'll be teaching about how to optimize your environment to support your goals.You can join the FREE challenge at www.bicepsafterbabies.com/challenge

“Why does the number on the scale have so much power over us?” In this episode, I explore a challenge many of us face—the scale and the emotional rollercoaster it creates in our fitness journey. I'll explain how our attachment to that number can derail our progress and lead to emotional highs and lows. You'll learn why obsessing over the scale can be more damaging than we often realize, and why simply throwing it away isn't always the answer. Instead, I'll share how to detach from the scale emotionally and find more empowering ways to track your progress. If the scale has left you feeling frustrated or defeated, this episode is for you—let's change the way we approach it.Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/359Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!Links:bicepsafterbabies.com/waitlistJoin me for my FREE 5-Day Challenge and learn how you can unlock the secrets to stop the never-ending diet cycle and finally snap that "after" photo.

In this episode, we're diving into the essential connection between macros and mindset—because you can't have one without the other. While many focus purely on strategy, like tracking macros and structuring workouts, real transformation happens when mindset and tools come together. I'll break down why how you approach macro counting matters just as much as the numbers themselves. Plus, we'll explore key mindset shifts that drive consistency, break the cycle of self-sabotage, and create lasting change. If you've ever felt stuck in a start-and-stop pattern or wondered whether to prioritize mindset or strategy, this episode will bring the clarity you need.

Setting macros is only the first step—macro counting is so much more than hitting numbers once. You need to cycle through different phases (cutting, reverse dieting, maintenance, bulking) and adjust macros based on your body's feedback. Consistency and mindset also play huge roles in long-term success. Without these tools, it's easy to fall into self-sabotage or turn macros into just another diet.This bonus episode is your chance to learn about the deeper aspects of macro counting that are essential for reaching your goals. But don't wait—doors for Macros 101 close Thursday at 9 pm PT on September 19th. Don't miss out on the complete roadmap that will help you finally reach your goals.Head to bicepsafterbabies.com/join before it's too late!It's Time!
