Vanity Isn’t a Sin: Looking Hot is a Valid Goal

It’s Not a Sprint, It’s a Strategy: Training for Life

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2027992/open_sms] Your body is complex—your hormones, your digestion, your emotions, your energy. And yet somehow, we expect to know exactly how to “fix” it the moment something feels off. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to become a lifelong learner of your own body. From ignoring signs like food intolerances to pushing through extreme workouts and wondering why we’re constantly exhausted or in pain, I’ve been there. I share stories about my own missteps—like ignoring lactose intolerance, trying to go from zero to 24 miles in a day, or letting someone else’s pace dictate my own. But the truth is, progress doesn’t happen in a single day—it happens in every small, consistent choice we make. This is your reminder to slow down, pay attention, and give your body the grace and love it deserves. You don’t need to be a badass for one day. You need to be consistent for life.

The People Pleaser’s Weight

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2027992/open_sms] In this deeply personal episode, I open up about what it means to be a woman—specifically a fat woman—in a world built for men and designed to reward thinness. From childhood, people-pleasing to shrinking myself emotionally in relationships, I share the raw truth of how I spent years chasing validation and trying to be "easy to love" instead of learning to love myself. We talk about the “pick me” mindset, how it’s shaped by society's treatment of bigger bodies, and the quiet ways it steals our voices—at work, in friendships, and in love. I share stories from my marriage, my friendships, my hoe era (yep), and the moments that woke me up to my own worth. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or like you had to earn love by doing the most… this episode is for you.

I Still Want This. So I Still Try

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2027992/open_sms]  This week, I’m talking about what it really feels like to keep trying — when nothing seems to work. After a year of trying to lose 30 lbs and fighting through thyroid issues, cancer, and disappointment, I’m still here. Still walking. Still meal prepping. Still hoping. In this episode, I’m sharing why I don’t give up, even when I’m frustrated and tired. If you’ve ever felt like screaming at the scale or avoiding your closet — this one’s for you. You’re not alone. And you’re not done.

Discipline is Starting to Set in

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2027992/open_sms]  In this episode of Conversations with a Fit Fat Chick, I’m diving into what discipline really looks like five weeks into my reset and refocus. Spoiler alert: it’s not glamorous. Some days, motivation doesn’t show up — but I do. I talk about how I’m grounding each day with a walk, no matter what the calendar looks like, and how that one choice is helping me rebuild trust with myself. This isn’t about going hard or being perfect — it’s about being consistent. Slow and steady might not be sexy, but it’s how real, lasting change happens.

Vanity Isn’t a Sin: Looking Hot is a Valid Goal

It’s okay to want to feel sexy, rock a bikini, turn heads, or look good in your vacation photos. Not every goal has to be about trauma healing or inner peace—sometimes you just want to strut, and that’s enough to get you started.
