Reasons You’re Not Ready to Diet — Yet
Most people jump straight into a diet — then wonder why they can’t stay consistent. In this episode, we break down the most common reasons people struggle to lose fat: poor sleep, chronic stress, lack of structure, unsupportive environments, and more.

Why Hiring a Coach is the Smartest First Step in Fitness

In this episode, I break down why hiring a coach is the best decision you can make when starting your fitness journey.
