142. Identity Standards with Cody McBroom

What if the reason you keep falling off isn't because you lack motivation... but because you're trying to change your habits before changing your identity? Most people think lasting change comes from more discipline, more willpower, or the perfect plan. But what if real transformation starts much deeper than that? This week, we're giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of our internal team trainings with coach and mentor Cody McBroom. This conversation was originally recorded for our coaching team, but the lessons were simply too valuable not to share. In this presentation, he dives into why your identity is the biggest predictor of long-term success. We cover: * Why your self-talk shapes the actions you take every day. * How to create personal standards that make healthy choices feel automatic. * The difference between relying on willpower and building systems that actually last. * Why confidence is built through keeping promises to yourself. * Practical exercises you can use today to become the person you're trying to be-not just someone who's chasing another goal.

141. [Coaches Corner] The Difference Between Discipline and Disordered Eating

Today's conversation dives into one of the most misunderstood topics in the health and fitness space: the difference between discipline and disordered eating. In a world where weighing your food is labeled "toxic" and every nutrition strategy seems to spark controversy, it's easy to wonder if pursuing your goals automatically means you're developing an unhealthy relationship with food. The truth? The behavior isn't the problem - the intention behind it is. In this episode, our coaching team breaks down: * Why social media has made this conversation so confusing. * The difference between healthy structure and unhealthy obsession. * How to know if your nutrition habits are helping you grow or harming your mental health. * Why tracking food isn't inherently restrictive. * What a healthy relationship with discipline actually looks like. * How to stop letting fear of "doing it wrong" keep you stuck. Whether you're recovering from years of diet culture, trying to lose body fat without falling into old patterns, or simply wondering where the line between discipline and disorder really is, this conversation will give you the clarity you've been looking for. 🎧 Listen now, and if this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend who's been struggling to separate social media opinions from evidence-based coaching.

138. Stop Playing Fat Loss On Hard Mode

You're not struggling with fat loss because it's too hard. You're struggling because you're making it harder than it needs to be. In nearly a decade of coaching, I've learned that most women don't need more information. They need fewer distractions, fewer excuses, and fewer things competing for their attention. The reality is that fat loss is often far simpler than we've been led to believe, but we make it complicated by overthinking, chasing shiny objects, and avoiding the discomfort that comes with doing the basics consistently. In this episode, I'm sharing 8 ways you're unintentionally playing fat loss on hard mode and what to do instead. 🎧Listen now and send me a message on Instagram @marissaroyfitness with the biggest takeaway that hit home for you.
