My 3 Biggest Health & Fitness Lessons from the Past Year

IT'S GEMINI SZN!!!!! I celebrated my birthday earlier this month, and as one does whenever turning the page on a significant chapter, I did some reflecting. So today, I’m bringing you the three biggest lessons in the realm of health & fitness that kept showing up for me repeatedly over the past year. The third one is what I believe is the most important, especially in a world that keeps telling us to optimize our way out of everything. Thanks for being on this wild ride with me over the past year, bb.

Pillow Talk: A Throne, Mother Nature, & Daddy Sun (feat. an edible…)

After three months of being sober-curious, I had my first edible. And let's just say... it transported me to the ethereal realm.  This episode somehow ended up being an unintentional recap of it from the other side, lmao. We also talk about my current seven pillow setup, a core through-line of my creative process, meditation, a gripe I have with the fitness industry, my double chin, knowing when to pivot your workouts, etc etc etc. Just hit play already!!!

What Progressive Overload Actually Means (6 Ways to Do It)

If you've spent any time around fitness content, you've heard the term progressive overload — and you've probably absorbed the most common misconception: that it just means adding more weight every session. It doesn't. And if that's the only lever you're pulling, you'll stall out or pick up a nagging injury that could've been avoided. Today I break down what progressive overload actually is, why "just go heavier" hits a wall at some point, and the six ways you can apply the concept.

Self-Worth vs. Self-Trust: The Difference & Why It Matters

Today I’m riffing on an old post of mine from a couple years ago, where I dissect a powerful question that changes how you show up to your health & fitness while also rippling across the other domains in your life.
