In honour of up-and-coming Valentines Day, I had the lovely Michelle Keinan, a relationship success coach, join me to talk about running a million dollar message while having a relationship that also feels like a million bucks. Together we talk about what it's like being in a relationship as business owners, how not to neglect our loved ones as we grow a dedicated business, and how to keep things fresh intimately without feeling burnt out. Are you wanting to freshen things up and keep this convo going?? Want more? Make sure you are following myself and Michelle! Me, your host!

If you haven't gone back and listened to part one, GO CHECK IT OUT! In this episode we are diving deeper into the coaching world, but this time we are on the other side of the coin! We are talking about when a relationship with client goes awry! What role did we play in that happening? What did we learn or change after this happened? Could it have been prevented, or was it destined to happen? Myself & the beautiful Desiree Garcia get honest about it all, including taking radical responsibility for our roles in how these situations play out. We can't talk about the dark & light of the industry, if we are only looking at one-way relationships. We are also coaches & leaders and all of these stories deserve to be shared.

We are starting season 2 with a BANG!! As I said in the beginning, this episode, well actually the next few episodes are going to be a little bit different than you might be used to from last season. I am holding EVEN LESS back this season and we are jumping right into the behind-the-scenes of the coaching world. I, along with my amazing guests, are lifting the veils of the coaching industry to show you some of the darker, less-talked about workings that can go very wrong very fast. However we don't want to dwell in the darkness, we want to shed light, let you learn from our mistakes and misfortunes, so that you can have a brighter experience when it comes to investing in a life changing coach! So join me, Ashley Pekrul, Sara Smith, and Pixie Grace as we share our most vulnerable experiences and expose the darkness of the coaching industry as well as illuminate the light!

Hey, everyone, I am BACK! I apologize for taking last week off, but ya girl was sick and you didn't wanna listen to my raspy-a$$ voice on an episode. Today's is a little bit different, this is a voice note I captured when I was feeling inspired as HELL earlier this week. As I sat reflecting on just how far I have come not just in this past year, but in my life and the odds I have beaten, I often find myself asking - how? How have I made with my life what it is without faltering in my beliefs? It is because I was taught to be a SURVIVOR. Never were things handed to me, I had to make the best out of the hardest situations. Find the silver lining. Only focus on what I can control, and let go of the rest. Playing the victim only delays and postpones your greatness. How about instead of being stuck in the quick-sand of self-pity, you slow the roll and pick yourself up? You are NOT a victim, you just feel like you are. It is time to STOP playing the victim and start being a survivor, a THRIVER (is that a word?) ** If you aren't already doing so, be sure to follow me on IG @Daria.Musclemom You should also join my Facebook Community 'Sexy, Strong, & Super Community" if you need mindset help to STOP playing that victim mentality when it comes to your health + fitness journey.

If you thought you needed a wealth of money + equipment + privilege to really focus on your health and fitness- THINK AGAIN! In today's episode, my dear friend and guest Sara Smith is talking about her struggles with raising a family, prepping for a bodybuilding competition, all while being homeless?! Yep, that is right - she quite literally had NOTHING but that wasn't about to stop her from achieving her (at the time) fitness goals OR building an extremely successful online business. We also talk about what her mindset and relationship with her body were like while she was prepping for her first bodybuilding show! Not going to lie, this is probably one of my favourite interviews, I almost teared up learning more about Sara and I KNOW you are going to love it. *** Be sure to check out Sara's own podcast "Brains, Business, and Beyond" if you want to learn how she overcame EVERYTHING and is now helping women do the same. And don't forget about my Facebook group "Sexy, Strong, & Super Community" See you next week!

SECOND LAST DAY OF PODMAS!! Which also means tomorrow is Christmas Eve - YAY! Okay, I am really really in love with this podcast episode. As 2019 comes to an end, and we are preparing ourselves to enter a new decade, I had a lot of reflecting to do on this past year. I had a lot of ups, sprinkled with a few downs, heartbreaking failures, and unfathomable successes. With all of this ebb and flow, I realized something. Lessons learned and applied to run a successful business are very much applicable to have a successful run at reaching health and fitness goals. "Don't obsess over the end goal." "Have fun while doing it" "If you are doing something that makes sense and lights you up- you won't need motivation" MY most successful months in business were when I stopped butting pressure on sales and just HAD FUN - the same goes for my most successful times in fitness, especially my powerlifting journey. We have a lot to learn from failure if we are open to a tough lesson or two. *** Go join my Facebook group "Sexy, Strong, and Super Community" Add me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/daria.musclemom/

We are in the final stretch of Podmas! Have you been keeping up with the 12 Days of Giveaways in my group? I have given out protein powder, Lululemon, Amazon Giftcards, all kinds of amazing goodies EVERY SINGLE DAY! And we don't stop until Christmas Eve ;) Today's episode is all about movement. Sure, we all know working out is good for heart health, muscle + joint health, and just feeling good - but did you know about the other silent but a necessary function that moving our body has on our immune health? We have this system called our 'lymphatic system' which consists of all the glads, tonsils, and other organs in our body that our immune system uses to keep us healthy and junk-free. This system RELY'S on the contraction of our muscles to filter out the yucky + sick lymph (white blood cell stuff that keeps us healthy) and replenishes it with the good clean stuff. Pretty neat huh? So next time you are feeling run down or like you are getting sick - go jump on a trampoline and see how you feel! *** I am planning something BIG for 2020 - so be sure to stay active in my FB group for more deets on the VIP event ;) Not sure where to start or want more information on how to go about sustainable body change?

Episode 8 of Podmas is here!! Have you ever asked yourself, "How do all of these influencers love their bodies all the time? There's no way that life will be for me." Well 1) They don't love 100% of their body 100% of the time - AND THAT IS OKAY. 2) You ARE able to live that life of love, acceptance, and understanding. There's nothing I can tell you in any podcast episode that is suddenly going to make you love every inch of yourself no matter what - that would be a load of sh*t. The truth is - you aren't going to, and you need to know that THAT IS OKAY. But when we start looking and appreciating our body for more than simply how it looks, we feel our body in a different way. We learn to love how it moves, feels, and keeps it alive, and suddenly the things you don't like or can't change just don't matter as much! *** I am planning something BIG for 2020 - so be sure to stay active in my FB group for more deets on the VIP event ;) Not sure where to start or want more information on how to go about sustainable body change?

We are on Day 7 of Podmas!! Have you been loving these episodes or what?! Today we are talking about the "M" word. The monster that everyone believes is holding them back from total fitness domination. Metabolism. Is it slow? Is it fast? Is it BROKEN?! No - but it IS so individualized what works for Becky probably won't work for you. Did you know that you DO alter your body's perception of food/energy the more you diet, restrict, and yo-yo? Yep. Every time you yoyo back and forth between diets and up-and-down in body weight, your body becomes more sensitive food reactions and lowers your need for food. AKA the more you yoyo, the less you will be able to eat to see the same results as someone who has done the journey in a more gradual, steady loss. So stop the yoyoing. Start listening and feeling into our bodies. Do things that are sustainable, healthy, and don't make you miserable - because then the yoyo vortex will stop. *** Not sure where to start or want more information on how to go about sustainable body change?

HALFWAY THROUGH PODMAS!!! I can't believe we are on our 6th consecutive episode of the WTF Podcast "12 Days of Podmas"! Today's episode is another archived video from the spring of 2020. Are you bringing your goals to life - or are you so scared of them that you let them die as dreams in your head? Any and all progress in life begins with a strong goal and a desire to succeed. *** Not sure what a good goal is for you, or just want a safe & judgment-free place to talk about it?

Holy moly we are on Day 5 - almost halfway through Podmas already!  Make sure to listen and PAY ATTENTION to the whole episode - as an extra bonus of "Podmas" ;) ;) I threw in a goodie for those of you who are listening - so pay attention and think fast because the offer goes away tonight! Today's episode is addressing some commentary I have been receiving since documenting my journey through becoming a Nationally ranked powerlifter. As I posted about competing in Central's, Provincial's, and now my Journey to National's in March, I often get the remark, "Wow good for you! That must bring in a lot of business. It really validates your expertise."  Though yes, I agree that people may see me as more authentic and committed to the craft because I am enduring rigorous training - my coaching abilities are no more or less whether I am an athlete or not.  I am a good coach because I understand the math, the finesse, and am always wanting to learn more- and that knowledge + passion does not change whether I decide to stop competing tomorrow.  I want to ask you - are you only taking advice from people just because they are seeing results for themselves, or are you taking advice because it will make YOU a better person.  **** Be sure to take advantage of that goodie I gave you in this episode by clicking HERE or go to my website www.sexystrongsuper.mykajabi.com Want to follow my story as an athlete or see how I can help you AS A COACH-  Go join my Facebook group "Sexy, Strong, and Super Community" Add me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/daria.musclemom/

Can you believe we are at Day 4 of Podmas already?! If you are behind - be sure to check out all of the other episodes because they are all straight fire. Also, in case you for some reason aren't in my Facebook group, I have already given out a tub of protein AND lululemon just for participating so uhm, go join! I did this episode a little differently - today's episode is extracted audio from a long-lost live that I did AGES ago. This is a quick episode to really make you question your motives and show you that you really have NO excuse for the excuses you have been making. Motivation isn't really a thing - and any successful person whether it be business or personal - does not only do things that "motivate" them.

Podmas Day 3!! Don't forget about the giveaways for 12 Days of Christmas in my group www.facebook.com/sexystrongsuper/ Today is one everyone knew was coming - my honest and unfiltered opinion on keto. I hate restrictive dieting. I love carbs. I hate uneducated people giving others advice that could damage their health. Stop - just stop. Anywho, I am sitting here drinking a beer and eating a donut - which pretty much sums up my stance. Happy holidays!! Want more info on how to hit your goals without bullshit dieting?

12 Days of Podmas Day 2! Today's episode is going to hit some hard and you might not want to hear this - but you probably should. Monkey-see Monkey-do is all too real when it comes to our children. They are little sponges who pick up all of our behaviors good or bad. So what do you think is happening to their vulnerable brains and esteems when they see us, their role models, struggling with body-appearance and our relationship with food. If we are constantly going from diet to diet, talking down about our body, saying that certain foods are "bad" or "will make you fat" and that "being fat is bad, then our children are going to adopt that same mentality. They aren't going to want to do childish things like enjoying a trip to the ice cream shop. They are going to think other parents are "bad" for giving their children treats that you forbid at home. You are going to create a child with disorderly eating habits at an age WAY younger than you may expect. I know you are just trying to do what's right and encourage "healthy habits" but mental health is just as important as physical health. Poor mental health around foods WILL create eating disorders in the future which I'm sure you are trying to avoid.

MERRY PODMAS!!!! Today marks the first day of, "12 Days of Podmas" which means there will be a new WTF episode every day from now until December 24th! I will ALSO be hosting a 12 Days of Giveaways in my Facebook group so if you AREN'T a member of the Sexy, Strong, and Super Community - go join now! Today isn't just special because of that, but it also marks a day very close to my heart. On this day 7 years ago, I said yes to being the girlfriend of a very cute (and clumsy ;) ) boy I met in the gym. Now, 7 years and a 3-year old daughter later our lives couldn't be more magical or more different. On today's episode I tell the story of how Jordan and I came to meet, how he PROPOSED in the very gym we met in, and the ups and downs if training with your spouse! I'm not going to lie, I cried while I was recording this because this feels like too crazy of a story for real life - but that has just been my life lately. So if you are a sucker for love stories, but also want to hear about me giving Jordan sh*t for correcting me in the gym - then stay tuned for today's episode!

We have another incredible interview today! I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend + colleague Mary Codina to discuss all things yin + yang of muscle care. Mary is an RMT in sunny California, as well as an online self-care coach. Together we discussed how working out and muscle care techniques such as foam rolling, stretching, massaging, etc complement each other to relieve our aches + pains. As Mary discovered, some pains won't just go away with massages or post-care techniques, sometimes our aches are caused by muscular imbalances that can only be fixed by STRENGTHENING the weakest link aka working the muscle out! We also discuss how Mary analyzed my pain and stances while lifting, and after only a few recommended tweaks + stretches, I improved my squat speed and stopped getting injured! If you like nerding out about muscles and how they interact, this is the episode for you! ~~ If you want to know more about my coaching approach and get motivated to take that next step into health + fitness, check me out!

In today's episode, I want to talk about my journey with health, fitness, coaching, and just WHO I am. Some people know we as I am today, an online fitness coach.

In today's episode, I have brought on nurse and Fertility + Woman's Hormone Coach Jenn Frusher-Carver to talk about female health and hormones! We break down how nutrition and fitness can regulate (or disrupt!) our precious hormone balances. What actually is PCOS - and can a diet really "fix" it like some claim? Is it possible for people with PCOS to lose weight? And we have a stretch where we talk about how women get treated by health care professionals, coming FROM a health care professional. So if you are a woman who has questions about her hormone health, wanting to know if you are eating + training correctly for your beautiful body, or just want to know that you are not alone in your journey - this is the episode for you! ~~ If you want to know more about my coaching approach and get motivated to take that next step into health + fitness, check me out!

On this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the one and only, Amanda King - the ultimate Fierce As F*ck woman. Amanda started out as a chef + dog groomer, into a Beachbody Coach, into a high-level business coach all without compromising her integrity or badass energy. She learned how to tap into that incredible fierceness to succeed beyond what anyone thought possible. Together we dig into the mindset behind fierceness, tackling matters head-on, and taking on space as a woman in a world where we often feel oppressed. Have you ever been told you don't belong somewhere? Or that you will never succeed in your goal? It doesn't matter if it is in business, fitness, relationships, if YOU have the intention of succeeding - success will come to you. The secret? Not running FROM fear, rather righting right into the sh*tstorm that is fear. It is time to shine and show up as your genuine self!

You've heard it. I've heard it. Heck, we have all even said it! When being asked, " Why do you want to get fit and healthy?" The FIRST thing that comes to mind is, "I want to be slim, toned, like how my body looks (aka have others like how my body looks." But guess what? That mentality of vanity, of external validation, is NOT what is going to get you out of bed on the hard days. It is on those days when motivation is fleeting that you will say, "Well whatever I don't give a sh*t what other people think of me anyway." Which is GREAT - but not if that was your motivation. It is time that we set goals that benefit us as an individual OUTSIDE of vanity how we look that keep us motivated - that keeps us going when we don't have motivation! We need to stand our ground, make life changes coming from a place of love, and see the magic un fold!

For my VERY FIRST kick-off episode of the "Woman Turned Fierce" podcast - I wanted it to be a special one! I interviewed my longest-running client and dearest friend- Sarah! We discuss what finally integrated healthy eating, abundant food-mindset, and strength training has done for her health, relationships, and life! Since working together, Sarah's confidence has sky-rocketed, her physique has completely changed, but better yet she is no longer afraid of food or the weight-room! Sarah is also an incredible wedding planner who, too many times, get asked by brides on "how to quickly lose weight" for their dream wedding - and why that is NOT the best approach. Slow and steady wins the race in the realm of never-ending fitness success!
