In this episode, Iâm joined by Micah Okerlund, a MACROS 101 alumna, to talk about what happens when you no longer feel like yourself. After a difficult pregnancy and diagnoses including PCOS, insulin resistance, and endometriosis, Micah found herself exhausted, disconnected, and searching for answers.
She shares how learning to trust her body, let go of fear and judgment, and approach change with patience and self-compassion helped her reclaim her energy, transform her mindset, and find her way back to herself. If you've ever wondered whether lasting change is possible, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your future self is worth fighting for.

Todayâs podcast is from a Live Coaching session inside our Alumni program, Beyond MACROS101, where I sit down with Leah to unpack what seemed like a simple macro-tracking problem, but turned into a much deeper conversation about choice, ownership, and intentionality. We talk about the difference between actively making your own decisions and just reacting to life as it happens, and how that mindset shift can completely change your relationship with food, goals, and even yourself. If youâve ever felt like youâre âgetting away with somethingâ in your fitness journey, this episode will challenge the way you think about progress, flexibility, and personal responsibility.

In this episode, I sit down with Stacey Harkey to unpack a truth most of us donât realize at first: you donât actually want to lose weight; you want to like yourself. We dive into Staceyâs journey from Studio C to personal training, and the powerful lessons heâs learned about authenticity, confidence, and taking up space. We talk about why chasing external goals like weight loss can keep you stuck, how fear and people-pleasing hold you back, and what it really looks like to build self-worth from the inside out. This conversation challenged me in the best way, and I know it will for you, too. If youâve ever felt like youâre not enough or that you need to shrink yourself to be accepted, this episode is your reminder: you were meant to shine.

In this episode, I share a late-night realization about why so many people give up just before their efforts start to pay off. By reflecting on my own journey of recovering from chronic pain, I illustrate how this experience transformed my understanding of change, patience, and what it truly means to make progress. We explore the common trap of confusing slow results with a lack of results, a misconception that often leaves people feeling stuck. To help you navigate these moments of doubt, I offer five essential questions to determine whether you should maintain your current course or make a strategic pivot. Whether you are questioning if your hard work is making a difference or considering throwing in the towel, this discussion offers a fresh perspective on staying committed long enough to achieve meaningful outcomes.

If youâve ever felt discouraged because progress is taking longer than you expected, this conversation is a reminder that consistency, not perfection, is what ultimately gets you there.

Iâm back with another RANT episode. Itâs been a while since Iâve done one. So, in todayâs podcast, Iâm getting honest about something I see all the time in the fitness space: people saying theyâre âdoing everythingâ when they really arenât. Seeing what true bodybuilding prep actually looks like gave me a whole new perspective on what going all in really means. And the truth is, most of us arenât doing everything we possibly could to reach our goals, and thatâs completely okay. The problem is convincing yourself that you are. I also talk about the trade-offs that come with any goal, why âfence sittingâ often leads to frustration, and the powerful difference between saying âIâve done everything I canâ and âIâve done everything Iâm willing to do.â If youâve been feeling stuck or resentful in your journey, this might be the mindset shift you need.

In this episode, Iâm sharing a Live Coaching session with Marissa where we talk about one of the most common struggles I see when starting MACROS 101: our relationship with the scale. If the number can instantly change your mood, make you question everything youâre doing, or tempt you to jump to the next plan, youâre not alone. We talk about the âmessy middle,â why your brain craves certainty, and how learning to tolerate discomfort is the real key to long-term success. This episode isnât just about the scale; itâs about building the emotional resilience to stay consistent and trust yourself through the process.

I dive into why macro tracking is a tool, not a diet, why progress doesnât always look like success, and why mindset and self-trust matter more than perfect plans. I also talk about how to fit macros into your life, the key questions to ask before starting any fitness journey, and why this was never really about the food. If youâve ever felt stuck or felt like youâve failed before, this episode will help you look at your fitness journey through a completely new lens.

Weâre wrapping up our final âBest of 2025â episode with a powerful replay from Episode 269, a Live Coaching session from inside MACROS 101.

And often, hearing someone else get coached can spark breakthroughs you didnât know you needed. In this episode, Elise opens up about her fear of both success and failure, and how self-doubt kept holding her back. Together, we walk through how to reprogram the brain, rewrite old stories, and step into the belief of âI am enough.â As we head into a new year, this conversation is the perfect reminder that real change starts with what you believe about yourself. Letâs dive in.
