Why is LinkedIn showing you posts from two or three weeks ago?It feels frustrating. It feels outdated. It feels like the feed is broken.But what if LinkedIn is not broken at all?In this episode of the Fintech Hunting Podcast, Ashley Gravano turns the tables and interviews Michael Hammond for a timely, honest conversation about the shift happening on LinkedIn—and why mortgage, fintech, and financial services professionals need to pay attention.Michael explains why LinkedIn has moved from a feed built around recency to one increasingly shaped by relevance. That means the posts that keep getting surfaced are not always the newest. They are the ones LinkedIn believes still matter because people are engaging, saving, reposting, and spending time with them. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone using LinkedIn to build visibility, credibility, relationships, or pipeline.Because the real question is no longer:“Did I post today?”It is:“Did I create something worth resurfacing?”A big thank you to Ashley Gravano for hosting this episode, flipping the script, and leading such a genuine, curious, and timely conversation.Why LinkedIn is resurfacing older postsWhat the shift from recency to relevancy meansWhy surface-level content is losing powerHow deeper, more useful posts can keep gaining reachWhy saves, reposts, comments, and dwell time matterHow mortgage and fintech professionals should rethink LinkedInWhy your content strategy must build trust before the sales conversation ever startsIf you are a mortgage professional, fintech leader, vendor, loan officer, marketer, or executive trying to stay visible in a noisy market, this conversation will challenge how you think about LinkedIn.The future of visibility belongs to the people who create content with substance, clarity, and staying power.For more insights on AI, LinkedIn, mortgage marketing, fintech growth, and audience development, visit nexleveladvisors.com and explore the NexLevel Advisors Resource Center.Subscribe to the Fintech Hunting Podcast for conversations with the leaders, operators, and innovators shaping the future of mortgage, fintech, and financial services.In this episode, we cover:
What if modern marketing's biggest problem isn't bad targeting… but safe creativity?In this PostPod episode of The Sleeping Barber Podcast, Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros unpack their conversation with advertising legend Terry O'Reilly, and explore what today's marketers may have lost in the pursuit of optimization, dashboards, and defensible decisions.From pink flamingos and whistling beer campaigns to distinctive brand assets and the death of creative risk-taking, this conversation dives into why some of the most memorable advertising ideas in history would likely never survive a modern approval process.The discussion explores:Why breakthrough creative often sounds irrational before it worksHow organizations optimize for career safety instead of originalityThe danger of over-standardized digital advertisingWhy distinctive assets like jingles, mascots, and sonic branding still matterHow dashboards and optimization loops may be creating a “sea of sameness”Why great creative requires surprise, emotion, and a little discomfortThe tension between data, instinct, and long-term brand buildingHow AI may unintentionally push marketing even further toward the middleMarc and V also reflect on Terry's thoughts around agency relationships, creativity as a business multiplier, and the importance of giving agencies enough room to create work that actually gets remembered.Because maybe the future advantage in marketing won't belong to the brands with the best targeting…Maybe it'll belong to the brands brave enough to still be interesting.TakeawaysProduction quality can elevate a podcast's impact.Creative strategies should push boundaries to achieve greatness.Breakthrough ideas often seem irrational at first.Risk-taking is essential for memorable marketing campaigns.Digital platforms can dilute creativity with standardization.Feedback on creative work lacks structured metrics.Distinctive brand assets are declining in modern marketing.Data should complement, not replace, creative instincts.Surprise elements in campaigns capture audience attention.Career risk often stifles creative innovation.Chapters00:00 - Introduction and Podcast Production Insights03:00 - Creative Strategy and Agency Collaboration06:01 - The Importance of Breakthrough Ideas08:52 - Risk in Modern Marketing11:59 - The Role of Digital Platforms in Creativity15:13 - The Language of Creative Feedback17:56 Distinctive Brand Assets and Their Decline20:47 The Balance of Data and Creativity24:00 Conclusion and Reflections on the Conversation

Writing a business book is one of those things people think is about becoming a bestseller, but often it's really about building authority, attracting the right clients, and creating opportunities that compound over time.In this episode of Uncomplicate It, I sit down with Henry DeVries, publisher, ghostwriter, and editor behind more than 200 business books, to talk about why books may be one of the most overlooked marketing tools in business. Henry shares how most people approach writing the wrong way, focusing on selling copies instead of creating credibility, trust, and long-term business growth. From agency owners and consultants to founders and experts, he explains why the right book can position someone differently than ads, funnels, or social media ever could.His perspective is simple but powerful: publishing the book is the starting line, not the finish line.We talk about how books create authority, why storytelling matters more than most people realize, and how the right message can open doors to speaking, consulting, partnerships, and new business opportunities.We also get into the realities behind publishing today, from AI-written books and weak positioning to why clarity always beats cleverness.We cover:Why books build authority faster than traditional marketingThe real ROI behind writing a business bookWho should write a book and who shouldn'tThe three ways to write a book more effectivelyWhy developmental editors matterHow to reverse engineer a book around your ideal clientsThe biggest mistakes first-time authors makeWhy storytelling is critical in business writingHow books lead to speaking and consulting opportunitiesWhy publishing is only the beginningTakeaways:Authority attracts opportunitiesBooks are long-term business assetsClarity beats cleverness every timeStorytelling makes expertise memorablePublishing is where the real work beginsGreat books solve one clear problemConsistency matters more than perfectionThe right book can create opportunities for yearsIf you've ever thought about writing a book or wondered whether it's actually worth it for your business, this conversation will challenge how you think about marketing, authority, and long-term growth.Connect with Henry:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/henryjdevries/Follow Us:

That is what stood out to me most at Fraud Fight Club this year. Not just the tools. Not just the AI in fraud prevention conversations. Not even just the tactics. The people.This episode is really about the future of fraud operations. And if there is one thing that came through loud and clear, it is this: we cannot fight this alone anymore.What you'll hear in this episode:Why fraud prevention in banking is becoming more collaborativeHow fraud and AML collaboration is helping teams see more of the full pictureWhy 314(b) information sharing matters in today's fraud environmentHow fraud prevention strategy is shifting from reactive detection to proactive preventionWhy human-centered fraud prevention and empathy in fraud investigations still matterHow fraud prevention technology and fraud analytics are changing the way teams workWhat fraud prevention professionals are doing right now to build stronger networksYou should listen to this episode if:You work in banking fraud detection or fraud risk managementYou are trying to improve fraud decisioning inside your institutionYou care about real-time fraud prevention and operational responseYou want to understand where credit union fraud prevention is headingYou believe collaboration is no longer optional in fraud operationsIf you liked this episode, be sure to subscribe and review the podcast on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh talks about one of the most missed parts of healing: the lymphatic system.Find What's Missing In Your Recovery Schedule Your Zoom CallYour lymphatic system is like your body's cleanup crew. It helps move waste, toxins, mold, heavy metals, bacteria, and other unwanted junk out of your body.But here is the problem.If your lymphatic system is slow or stuck, those toxins may sit in your tissues, blood, liver, and gut. This can make it harder for your body to heal.Dr. Hugh explains this in simple terms so you can understand why lymph drainage matters, especially if you deal with chronic illness, fatigue, swelling, inflammation, gut problems, or toxic overload. In This Podcast, You Will Learn:What the lymphatic system doesWhy lymph drainage is important for detoxHow toxins can build up in the bodyWhy movement helps lymph flowHow the liver and gallbladder help remove wasteWhy bile and bowel movements matterHow binders may help carry toxins outSimple ways to support lymph flow at homeDr. Hugh Covers These Key Topics:The lymphatic system collects waste Dead cell parts Germs Mold Heavy metals Drugs Gut bacteria waste Other toxins The lymph system does not have a pump Your heart pumps blood. Your lymph system moves through motion. Your muscles help squeeze lymph forward. Poor movement can slow detox If you do not move much, lymph can become sluggish. This may lead to more swelling, inflammation, and toxin buildup. Your liver and gallbladder matter Lymph drains into the blood. The blood carries waste to the liver. The liver makes bile. Bile helps move toxins into the gut so they can leave through stool. Bowel movements are important If toxins are pushed into bile but not removed, they may be reabsorbed. Dr. Hugh explains why regular bowel movements can be a key part of healing. Five Simple Ways to Help Move Your Lymph:Use a chi machineRide a stationary bikeSweat with a sauna blanketDry brush your skinTry reboundingWhy This Episode MattersIf you have chronic health problems, your lymphatic system may need support. You do not always need to “detox harder.” Sometimes your body needs help moving its natural drainage system.When lymph, liver, gallbladder, gut, and bowel movements work together, your body has a better chance to remove waste and start healing.Listen to this episode if you struggle with:Chronic fatigueBrain fogSwellingInflammationToxic overloadMold exposureHeavy metal exposureGut problemsPoor detoxSlow recoveryMain MessageYour body was built with a cleanup system. But that system must move.When your lymph system moves, your body can drain better, detox better, and heal better.

No one is coming to tell you you're ready.And honestly? That might be the most freeing thing you hear today.In this episode of Embracing Enough, we're getting into the quiet, invisible pattern that keeps so many brilliant women stuck - not lack of capability, but the habit of waiting. Waiting to be chosen. Waiting to be validated. Waiting for someone to say, “It's your turn.”In this episode, Dina breaks down the myth of readiness and calls out what's really underneath it: the fear of being seen before you feel fully secure. Because let's be real - this isn't about preparation. It's about permission.If you've ever:Held back from applying, speaking up, or going after something biggerTold yourself you just need a little more time, experience, or polishFelt the tension of knowing you're capable of more but waiting anywayThis episode is going to hit.We're talking about:Why “readiness” is often just a socially acceptable form of self-protectionThe real reason high-performing women hesitate at the exact moments that matterHow leadership is actually measured (hint: it's not about being the most prepared person in the room)The cost of waiting - and how it slowly erodes your self-trustWhat it looks like to move before you feel ready and build confidence in real timeThis is the conversation behind the scenes of leadership - the one that usually only happens in group chats or after the meeting ends.Because the truth is: the women you admire didn't feel ready either.They moved anyway.If you've been waiting for a sign… this is it.By the end of the episode, try asking yourself: Where am I waiting for permission I don't actually need?

God doesn't just visit.He dwells.And He meets us where altars are built.In this message, “Where God Comes Down: It's Time To Rebuild The Sacred Altars,” we're invited to rediscover a pattern seen all throughout Scripture—God reveals Himself where people intentionally make space for Him. Altars were never about routine; they were about surrender, remembrance, and real encounters with God.Over time, it's easy for those spaces to be neglected. What was once sacred can become distant. This message calls us back, not to empty practice, but to a life marked by intentional surrender and consistent connection with God.In this sermon, you'll hear about:What altars represent and why they matterHow surrender and devotion create space for God to moveWhy what's been neglected needs to be rebuiltWhat it looks like to prioritize God in the everydayThis message invites us to examine what we've allowed to fade—and asks a personal question: What needs to be rebuilt in your life so God has a place to meet you?Because God still comes down.But He meets us at the altar.

This week on The Worth Loving Podcast, relationship coach Keana W. Mitchell breaks down two of the most confusing and often overlooked forms of betrayal in modern relationships: emotional affairs and micro‑cheating. These aren't always loud, obvious, or dramatic — sometimes they start quietly, subtly, and almost innocently. But their impact can be just as painful and just as damaging as physical infidelity.In this episode, Keana explains the difference between these two forms of boundary‑crossing behavior, how to spot the early signs, and why they matter. Drawing from the research of leading psychologists like Dr. John Gottman, Dr. Shirley Glass, and Esther Perel, she breaks down how emotional affairs form, what micro‑cheating looks like, and how both can erode trust and emotional safety in a relationship.You'll also hear a recap of last week's episode on deciding whether to stay or leave after infidelity, plus a deep dive into Dr. Shirley Glass's powerful Walls and Windows Theory — a framework that explains how emotional affairs develop and how couples can begin to rebuild trust.Whether you're healing from betrayal, trying to understand your partner's behavior, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical guidance.
In this episode of The Cocktail Academy Podcast, Damian records live from Scarfes Bar at Rosewood London with Andy Loudon, Director of Bars, and Kris Bazys, Bar Manager, during the launch of the new Heroes & Villains menu.Andy breaks down the thinking behind the menu, how Gerald Scarfe's artwork shapes the identity of the bar, and why great bars are built on energy, escapism, and experience, not just what's in the glass. Kris then takes us behind the scenes into the reality of service, explaining what actually changes when a new menu launches, how the team adapts, and what it takes to deliver consistency at scale.This episode is a strong listen for bartenders, operators, and hospitality professionals who want to understand how top-level cocktail programmes are built and executed in a luxury environment without losing personality.In this episode:How the Heroes & Villains concept was developedWhy Scarfes focuses on experience over just drinksWhat really changes when a new menu launchesThe operational reality behind high-level cocktail serviceWhy “villain” drinks like Mojitos and Cosmopolitans still matterHow batching and classics work together in a modern barThe training system behind a high-performing bar teamKey TakeawaysExperience beats everything Great drinks are expected. What separates bars is how they make guests feel from the moment they walk in.Menus are built over time A single menu launch represents months of development, testing, and team input.Luxury doesn't have to be stiff Scarfes shows how to balance high-end service with warmth, personality, and energy.Operations drive success Menu changes impact everything—layout, prep, glassware, flow, and team movement.Training builds consistency Strong foundations, structured progression, and continuous development are key to maintaining standards.Classics still matter Even with modern techniques, classic cocktails remain essential for both training and guest demand.HighlightsThe thinking behind Heroes & Villains and its link to Gerald ScarfeWhy certain classic cocktails became “villains” within the industryThe hidden 48-hour prep behind some drinksHow Scarfes trains and develops its team from the ground upThe balance between batching for efficiency and maintaining craftStandout Quotes“People go to bars for escapism.” “Luxury and comfort are not always the same thing.” “You can train a monkey to make a good drink with the right recipe.” “The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.” “The first thing I protect is my team.”GuestsAndy Loudon – Director of Bars, Rosewood LondonKris Bazys – Bar Manager, Scarfes BarFollow & ConnectScarfes Bar: @scarfesbar Rosewood London: @rosewoodlondon The Cocktail Academy: @welovecocktails Website: www.thecocktailacademy.com Hosted on Acast.

If you feel like your intuition is confusing, inconsistent, or just not as clear as it “should” be… this episode is for you.Because most of the time, it's not actually an intuition problem.It's a self-trust problem.In this episode, I'm breaking down why we second guess ourselves, how we override our own inner knowing, and what's really happening when your intuition starts to feel “off.”I also share real-life examples of how this shows up (not just in spiritual work, but in everyday moments), and give you grounded tools to start rebuilding trust with yourself in a way that actually works.We talk about:How we gaslight ourselves out of our own intuitionWhy comparison quietly destroys your trustWhat happens when you override your internal signalsThe “kink in the hose” effect (and how to clear it)Why grounding and nervous system regulation matterHow to start trusting yourself—even if you might be wrongThe role of mentors and aligned community in building confidenceYour intuition isn't gone.It's just being disrupted.The work is learning how to come back to yourself.If this resonates, we go deeper into this work inside my Patreon, where you can practice, build confidence, and strengthen your connection in a supported space.You can find that here: Patreon.com/kate_thebrave
Many Christians love God… but still struggle with anxiety, chronic illness, or patterns they can't seem to break.In this episode, I sit down with Beatty Carmichael, author of The Prayer of Freedom, to talk about a biblical approach to inner healing and personal deliverance that's helping people experience real, lasting breakthrough.Beatty shares a repentance-based prayer process rooted in Scripture that he's used with over 1,000 people—with nearly 90% experiencing measurable healing and freedom, even in long-term or resistant cases.And here's what makes this conversation different…This isn't about extreme deliverance moments or emotional drama.It's about understanding spiritual legal rights, walking through biblical repentance, and partnering with the Holy Spirit to close doors that may be allowing oppression or sickness to remain.We cover:What sin and repentance actually mean (and how they're misunderstood)The connection between spiritual roots and physical or emotional strugglesWhat “legal rights” are in the spiritual realm—and why they matterHow repentance can lead to healing (with New Testament support)The first steps to begin walking in freedomWhat to expect after praying for healing and deliveranceWhether you can help friends or family experience freedom tooIf you've ever wondered:“Why am I still struggling even though I love God?”or“Is there something spiritual I'm missing?”This episode will give you a grounded, biblical framework to explore those questions.

"Just because a food is categorized as an ultra-processed food does not make it bad or unhealthy."Ultra-processed foods are making headlines, being blasted as addictive and dangerous, but what does the evidence actually tell us? In this episode, I unpack what ultra-processed foods really are, how the NOVA classification system defines them, and why the research linking them to binge eating, “food addiction,” and eating disorders is more complex than it sounds. We also explore how diet culture, restriction, and personal food history shape our relationship with food, and why finding peace with food requires more compassion and less moralizing of food.What You'll Learn:What ultra-processed foods actually are, how they're defined in research, and why these definitions matterHow media messaging about ultra-processed foods can activate guilt and food anxietyWhat current research actually says about the links between ultra-processed foods, binge eating, and so-called “food addiction”The limitations of using “food addiction” scales and why your dieting history can shape your behaviors around these foodsThe power of habituation: how repeated, less-restricted exposure to ultra-processed foods can actually decrease bingesWhy context, including diet culture, weight stigma, socioeconomic status, and upbringing, matters more than the headlines ever mentionResources:Examining the Nova Food Classification System and the Healthfulness of Ultra-Processed FoodsGrab the Hunger & Fullness Scale Guide at DietCultureRebel.com/hungerfullnessscale and take your next step toward building trust with your body and food.Connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

Yo Quiero Dinero: A Personal Finance Podcast For the Modern Latina
What if having the right money system meant that when your family faced a crisis, finances were the last thing on your mind?In this episode, I'm sitting down with Sahirenys Pierce of Poised Finance and Lifestyle — one of the OG Latinas of personal finance on the internet — and she's sharing the story behind her High 5 Banking Method. Spoiler: it was born out of one of the scariest moments of her life, when her son needed open heart surgery and she realized that having organized finances meant she could focus entirely on him instead of scrambling for money. That's the real power of a system that works.We break down the full High 5 Banking Method — the five purpose-driven accounts, how to set them up without starting from scratch, when high-yield savings actually matters, and how to handle the very Latina reality of your family treating your emergency fund like a group savings account.

Send a textIn this episode of The Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I'm joined by health and lifestyle coach Jenn Trepeck to explore the foundations of true wellness in a world that is increasingly saturated with confusing health advice.Jenn shares her personal journey with weight, nutrition, and metabolic health, and how those experiences shaped the work she now does with clients. Together we unpack why so many people feel overwhelmed by wellness messaging and why returning to the biological basics—blood sugar balance, nutrient density, and sustainable habits—can make a profound difference to long-term health.A central theme of our conversation is the importance of protein and fibre at every meal, and how these simple nutritional anchors help regulate blood sugar, support metabolic health, and improve energy, appetite, and overall wellbeing. Jenn explains why many people unintentionally underconsume protein and how small shifts in meal composition can have powerful physiological effects.We also explore Jenn's concept of the “Bio-Stack”—a framework that prioritises foundational health behaviours before turning to the latest biohacking trends. Rather than chasing quick fixes, Jenn encourages building a strong physiological base through nutrition, movement, sleep, and metabolic stability.Another key area we discuss is the quality of supplements and the growing confusion in the wellness industry. Jenn shares why ingredient sourcing, formulation, and bioavailability matter, and why thoughtful supplementation should support—not replace—strong nutritional foundations.Throughout the episode we return to the importance of mindset. Health progress cannot be measured solely by the number on a scale. True success often shows up in improved energy, resilience, metabolic stability, and a deeper understanding of what your body actually needs.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting wellness advice, this conversation will help bring you back to the fundamentals of health—and remind you that sustainable wellbeing begins with the basics.In This Episode We DiscussWhy understanding nutrition is fundamental to long-term healthThe importance of blood sugar balance for weight, energy, and metabolic stabilityWhy protein and fibre should be included in every mealThe common challenge of under-eating proteinWhy wellness messaging can feel so confusing todayJenn's concept of the Bio-Stack vs biohackingWhy supplement quality and formulation matterHow mindset shapes long-term health outcomesWhy health progress should not be measured solely by body weightThe value of professional guidance when navigating complex health goalsThanks for listening!

I got an email from a guy that perfectly captures a pattern I see over and over again.An anxious man.An avoidant wife.Years of emotional distance.One final attempt to “do the healthy thing” and open up…And then everything collapses.I break down:Why vulnerability isn't the problem — but timing and containment matterHow passivity slowly kills attraction in long-term relationshipsThe anxious/avoidant dynamic so many men get trapped inWhy some divorces turn cold, transactional, and threatening overnightWhat men should focus on after the marriage ends instead of chasing closureIf you're in a dead bedroom, walking on eggshells, or afraid to say the wrong thing in your own marriage, this video will probably feel uncomfortably familiar.I also talk about how men rebuild after this kind of emotional and financial hit, drawing from my book REBUILD – The Complete Guide to Starting Over as a Man, and why having other men around you — like inside the Help For Men Brotherhood — matters more than most guys want to admit.You're not broken.You're not alone.But passivity has a cost — and eventually, it comes due.
This week on the Wellness Edge Podcast, Dr. Mia joins Field Engagement Manager Dawn Edens to continue the conversation on reducing toxic load at home. Building on “Are You Toxic?”, Dr. Mia breaks down how everyday products create “hormone noise” — low-dose, repeated chemical exposures that can disrupt endocrine balance, increase inflammation, and add to metabolic stress over time. In this episode, you'll learn:Why synthetic fragrances, plastics, and aerosols matterHow laundry detergents and dryer sheets become hidden exposure sourcesHow simple format shifts (powders, sheets, sticks, glass bottles) can lower your environmental loadWhat it looks like to build a home that supports your hormones and long-term resilienceGood health doesn't just begin in your body — it begins in your home.
In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Ian Stones, co founder of Testhim, to talk about something that should be simple but still too often isn't. Testing men.We talk a lot in fertility about women's bodies, women's hormones, women's investigations. But male fertility accounts for around a third of infertility cases, and yet men are still frequently an afterthought.Ian and I explore when men should be tested, what those tests actually look like, why semen analysis is not always enough, and how men can advocate for themselves earlier in the process.If you are dealing with male factor infertility, recurrent loss, unexplained infertility, or you simply want to understand more about sperm health, this episode is for you.And if you are the partner trying to get a reluctant man to engage with this conversation, please share it.What we discuss in this episode:Why male fertility testing is often delayedWhen to start investigating male fertilityWhy semen analysis is only the starting pointThe role of sperm DNA fragmentation in recurrent miscarriageWhat a varicocele is and how it affects sperm qualityWhy testicular scans matterHow infections and oxidative stress impact sperm healthThe importance of seeing a male fertility specialist, not just a general urologistWhy lifestyle changes should happen at least three months before trying to conceiveThe impact of heat, cycling, tight underwear and hot tubsAlcohol, diet and BMI in sperm healthWhy men need to know their anatomy and check for lumps and changesThe emotional experience of male infertility and feeling like the spare partHow proactive testing could reduce repeated failed IVF cyclesWhat Testhim actually doesTesthim offers:Advanced male fertility testingA detailed male fertility questionnaire to build a personalised risk profileSperm DNA fragmentation testingOxidative stress testingTesticular ultrasound scansFollow up calls to explain results clearlyAccess to male fertility urology specialists across the UKMonthly male fertility support groupsA dedicated male fertility podcastTheir questionnaire...
If you've ever thought, “Well, I guess I can't progressive overload because I don't have heavier weights,” this episode is for YOU.We're talking about training volume, progressive overload, and why lifting heavier isn't the only way to make progress. Yes - access to a gym and heavier weights is great! But…it's not required for results. What actually matters? The amount of MEANINGFUL work your muscles are doing over time! Volume isn't just a buzzword you're hearing online these days - it's sets × reps × load. Your body responds to challenge, and it's not just numbers on paper. If you're training at home, you're NOT stuck. Progressive overload isn't just “add weight.” It's more reps, sets, unilateral work, and pauses. The goal isn't heavy - it's HARD for you. Volume + intensity are your two levers, so don't be afraid to use them wisely!Episode recap:Why progressive overload isn't just adding weightWhat training volume really meansWhy effort, strength, and hard reps + recruitment matterHow to increase the challenge when your weights are limitedWhy volume + intensity are your two key leversUnderstanding that scale fluctuations after hard training are NORMALWays that progress shows up beyond the scaleWhy your goal should be hard (not heavy) for youLinks/Resources:Ep. 226 | Pain-Free Performance: How to Build a Powerful and Healthy Body for Life with Dr. John RusinEp. 227 | Your Body Is Not Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant ResultsGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
