Feeling stuck in your fitness journey despite putting in the work? In this episode, we dive into six common fitness mistakes that could be sabotaging your results—like chasing calorie burn instead of building muscle, inconsistent programming, and overlooking the role of sleep, stress, and nutrition. You'll learn what actually drives sustainable fat loss, how to train smarter (not harder), and why patience and consistency matter more than quick fixes. If you're ready to break through plateaus and see real change, this episode is a must-listen.

I get asked all the time how I hike with little kids without losing my mind—so in this episode, I’m sharing exactly that.

It’s not always perfect, but it’s always worth it. If you’re a mom wanting more adventure with less overwhelm, this episode is for you. Let’s get outside together—chaos and all!
