60. September’s Guide to Surviving Anything

In this episode, we’re serving up September’s sassy card theme: One day your story will be someone else’s survival guide. Hear why I chose this sassy card for September, and learn why your chaotic, unfiltered, real-life survival stories are exactly what the universe needs. We’ll get into all the juicy stuff: What is your survival guide? Who are you writing it for? And a pep talk on why that wisdom you’ve learned deserves to be celebrated. I’m sharing my five kickass tools for surviving life when thriving just isn’t on the menu—think “changing channels” for your brain, tiptoeing into discomfort, and more. There’s even a bonus tip I almost forgot about. So—let’s get delightfully, wonderfully real about what it takes to keep surviving, one badass chapter at a time. Tune in, laugh along, and remember: you’ve survived 100% of your worst days. Yes, I know that is cliche... the rest of the podcast isn't. Just the regularly scheduled sarcasm and sass—required accessories in the Kickass Life Project world :) Get on my email list [https://sassysexystrong.com/unfiltered-club] Depression and Fitness episode [https://www.sassysexystrong.com/blog/depressionandfitness] Anxiety and Fitness episode [https://www.sassysexystrong.com/blog/anxietyandfitness] Polyvagal episodes [https://www.sassysexystrong.com/blog/polyvagal]

59. Let’s Get Edgy: How to Push Past Your Comfort Zone

Get ready to shake things up at “The Edge.” This isn’t about taking a wild leap off a cliff—it’s about discovering that sweet spot just past your comfort zone, where things get interesting, growth happens, and you actually feel alive. We’re diving into what it really means to find your “edge”—that place where going through the motions ends and real momentum begins. Think: whizzing down a ski hill, gripping your poles, heart pounding, and realizing that sometimes letting go of control is exactly how you’ll find it again. Spoiler: It’s not about grinding harder or chasing some unrealistic version of yourself. Instead, it’s about getting curious, making conscious tweaks, and learning to trust yourself a little more with every step. Today, you’ll hear practical, feel-good ways to spot your edge in your workouts, meals, mindset, and everyday routines—no perfection required. Whether you’re chasing a new habit, want to feel more connected to your body, or just want to shake off the autopilot, this episode will give you tools to make real, lasting changes—one small, intentional step at a time. Ready to find out what happens when you meet your edge? Let’s jump in and ride that line together!

58. Meet the Unfiltered Club... what happens next is up to you!

This episode is your intro to the Unfiltered Club — where your Monday gets a serious glow-up and your nostalgia for “choose your own adventure” books gets a grown-up, laugh-out-loud makeover! I'm here to spill the tea on a one-of-a-kind storytelling experiment: seven wildly relatable women, all muddling through the glorious mess that is real life, and you—you fabulous human—get to call some of the shots. Think breakup comebacks, perimenopause plot twists, and the kind of existential midlife musings you usually only admit to your BFF's. Each week, our characters face juicy dilemmas, but only readers on my email list get to decide what chaos (or clarity!) happens next. Will Casey spiral in a gym parking lot? Will Jo reclaim her post-divorce mojo? Does Marley finally figure out why she’s haunted by “wasted potential” vibes? The choice is yours. So, if you want a Monday pick-me-up, a dose of real talk, or you just love low-key yelling advice at fictional women, grab your coffee and keep listening. And don’t forget: I'm reading each chapter on the podcast but the best way to actually change the story (and maybe your own)? Get on my email list and vote on what happens next.
