Crying Burns Calories

After 4 years, hundreds of thousands of downloads, and more growth than I could ever put into words, this is the final episode of Crying Burns Calories. This podcast started on my living room floor with a pair of old-school Apple headphones and a version of me that had absolutely no idea what she was doing, but decided to start anyway…. And somehow, it became so much more than just a podcast. It became a community. A space that helped women feel seen, understood, and less alone. It also changed me. It helped me find my voice, become a better speaker, build confidence, and create a life I used to dreamed about. But one thing the last four years have taught me is that creating the life you want sometimes requires letting go of the things that no longer fit the current version of you- even when they are good things. I hope this episode reminds you that you are allowed to become a completely different person than the one who started. You are allowed to outgrow things, change directions, evolve, and create something from nothing simply because you felt called to try.

Most women know how to lose weight. Very few have actually been taught how to maintain it. Because maintaining weight loss is a completely different skill set. It requires emotional regulation, nervous system support, flexibility, and the ability to recover quickly instead of spiraling every time life gets stressful. The women who maintain their results long term usually aren’t the most restrictive or disciplined. They’re the ones who built habits they can actually return to consistently. In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason weight regain happens and what you can do to make sure it doesn't happen again. Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?

We survived low-fat everything, 1200-calorie "lifestyles," and size-zero being the ideal body type, so why does it feel like we're right back where we started? In this episode, we're having the honest conversation about the new era of skinny culture and why it's more dangerous than the diet culture we grew up with, because it's hiding behind a prescription and 10 minute telehealth appointment. We're pulling back the curtain on what is really happening with the GLP-1 obsession. We're talking about what chronic under-nourishment actually does to your body: your hair, your bones, your hormones, your fertility. The stuff your telehealth doc isn't mentioning. And then we're getting into what actually matters: building a body that's lean, strong, nourished, and feels ALIVE- not just small enough to fit into the algorithms idea of "wellness".

And then I had a baby, got humbled and mom productivity kicked in like WOAH. This episode is a call-out, for me and for you. You have more time than you think.

You start lifting weights because you want to feel stronger and leaner and then suddenly your body feels, bigger- or the scale goes up. This can feel frustrating, but this is also where most women take a wrong turn. In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually happening in your body when you start strength training... We’ll talk about: Why feeling “bulky” early on is common (and temporary) What it really takes to build lean muscle Why lifting alone isn’t enough without the right recovery, calories, and timeline And how quitting too soon keeps women stuck in the same cycle If you’ve ever second-guessed lifting because of how your body felt in the beginning, this episode will change how you look at the process and get you the results you deserve.

While I’m on maternity leave, I wanted to share something a little different. A few weeks ago, I was interviewed on the Elevate HER podcast and we went deep, not just into health, but into the parts of my story that shaped the work I do today. From being a hair stylist to becoming an entrepreneur. Navigating divorce. Moving across the country and having everything I owned stolen. Starting over when it would’ve been easier to quit. Meeting Max. Building a business rooted in women’s health. This is a an opportunity to get to know HOW and WHY this was all started. It’s a real conversation with two incredible other females and its the behind-the-scenes of how I rebuilt my life, my confidence, and my career more than once.

Peptides are everywhere right now, especially in the supplement world, so lets talk about it! In this episode, I’m breaking down what peptide supplements actually are, how they differ from injectable peptides used in clinical settings, and why calling powdered supplements “peptides” can be misleading. We’ll talk about what happens to these products once they hit your digestive system, whether they’re really capable of doing what they claim, and if they’re worth the $130+ monthly price tag. This isn’t about shaming supplements or attacking a brand, it’s about understanding physiology, marketing, and where your money is best spent if your goal is real metabolic change.

You’ll learn how muscle is built, why your body resists change when it's only numbers focused and how to shift toward a system that works with your physiology, not against it.

In this episode, I break down why extreme dieting keeps women stuck in the same cycle: losing weight quickly, regaining it, and feeling more frustrated than before.

When the world feels chaotic, uncertain, or heavy, it’s easy to slip into avoidance. To numb. To disconnect. To slowly abandon yourself. So in this short pep talk, I’m reminding you of something important: you may not be able to control what’s happening around you, but you can control how you show up for yourself. Your health- mentally, physically, emotionally, is not something to put on the back burner when life feels hard. It’s the very thing that grounds you through it. This episode is a reminder to choose care over self-destruction and to come back to yourself when everything else feels out of control. Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?

In this episode, my husband and I sit down to share the changes we made on our journey to pregnancy after multiple unexplained losses and being told we had less than a 2% chance of success doing it naturally. We did the testing. We asked the questions. And when no clear answers came back, we knew “unexplained infertility” wasn’t the full picture. We talk openly about: What testing did (and didn’t) tell us The physical, lifestyle, and mindset shifts we made How we supported fertility when there was no diagnosis What we wish we would have known sooner This isn’t a protocol, or a one-size-fits-all solution, but an honest conversation about advocating for your health when the odds feel stacked against you. We hope, that this give you hope! Podcast episode on our detox cleanse >> LISTEN HERE GutPersonal Supplements Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?
