Happy Athletic Training and Therapy day!

I am so beyond grateful to be part of such a rewarding profession.

There are honestly no words to describe it.

We aren’t just tapers, bandaid retrievers, or water givers.

We are the front lines in an emergency situation for our athletes, and even bystanders.
We are the first person to take care of injury prevention, rehab, safety, and overall health of our athletes.

Athletic Therapists & Athletic Trainers play a crucial role in health and safety for teams.

And we really are just the funniest person on staff 🤣

Forever grateful for all the athletes, coaches & parents that I’ve been able to meet throughout my career 🫶

When I first started online coaching, I was so clear on one thing.

I did not want to be known as a weight loss coach.

Even typing that out makes me laugh a little, because I never fully understood why it felt so uncomfortable. It just did. It felt surface level. It felt like I would be reduced to before and after photos and scale numbers. And that was never why I got into this.

So I swung hard in the other direction.

I was the strength coach. The one who got women strong as hell. We chased pull ups, deadlifts, confidence under a barbell. And I loved that. I still do.

But if I’m honest, I was also quietly closing a door.

I avoided conversations about fat loss and weight loss because I didn’t want to be put in a box. And in doing that, I made it harder for women who genuinely wanted support in that area to see themselves in my work.

Over the last year, my perspective has shifted.

I’ve learned more about nutrition. About behaviour change. About the emotional side of food and body image. About how nuanced fat loss actually is when you care about performance, hormones, stress, recovery, and sustainability.

Fat loss is not shallow. Weight loss is not vain. Wanting to feel at home in your body is not wrong.

And the women I work with? They want to feel capable. Strong. Confident in photos. Confident in the gym. Confident in their clothes.

They want to lift heavy and feel lean. To build muscle and lose body fat. To stop feeling like they have to choose.

And I get to help them do both.

That doesn’t feel icky anymore. That feels aligned.

Stress management and taking focus away from pain is such an under used tool for most people.

The only activity I did with one of my clients was anything else we could do today that had zero focus on their back.

She caught on quick and said to me “I see what you’re trying to do here”

I said “what’s that?”

“You’re trying to show me that I am capable of doing things without my back hurting”

It was a great lightbulb moment for her because she gets so stuck in her head about her pain that she feels scared to move and do anything.

Pain science can be complicated but if it’s relayed in a way that you understand it can be a really powerful tool to use. And gives the client a better understanding of how pain signals can come up.

This is your sign to push through the discomfort and lack of motivation, and keep going towards those goals!

Working harder isn’t always the answer.

If your days feel chaotic, your basics probably aren’t protected.
Time blocking helps turn good intentions into actual follow-through.

You can’t make progress without sleep, fuel, movement, and rest.

And those don’t happen by accident.

Put them in your schedule.

Training with intention isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing the right amount for the goal you’re chasing.

Some days that means pushing hard. Some days that means practicing, building, or recovering.

The goal isn’t to leave destroyed. It’s to leave progressing.

This is the year you get your s**t together.
 You’re ready to eat better, move more, and finally work toward your goals.

So you download MyFitnessPal for the first time. You plug in your info. It spits out a number for calories and macros.

You think, “Okay… I can do this.”
The first couple days feel fine. You’re a bit hungry, but you tell yourself that’s just part of it.

Then BOOM. You’re starving at all hours of the day. Your workouts feel flat and heavy. You’re dragging yourself through sessions that used to feel good.

You start wondering if you’re doing something wrong. If you’re not disciplined enough. If you just need to “try harder.”

But it’s not a willpower problem. And it’s not because you’re failing the plan.

It’s because an app just dropped you into 1300 calories a day with zero context.

Here’s the thing. Online calculators are built to give generic estimates. They don’t know your training volume, your stress levels, your history with food, or how your body actually responds over time.

Coaching isn’t about blindly following a number. It’s about adjusting based on real feedback, real life, and sustainability.

If tracking feels overwhelming, miserable, or like it’s sucking the life out of your training, you don’t need more discipline. You need a better starting point.

If you want help finding one, send me a DM.

Hard to have “good” B roll content when most of my camera roll looks like this 🤪

Sure, pretty & clean pictures are great.
But I think these really highlight who I am as a person 😂

Nutrition coaching is so much more than being handed numbers and hoping it clicks.

Especially if you’ve never tracked food before. Especially during the holidays. Especially when your routine is already changing.

K joined Strongish Co. 3 weeks ago, and the first two weeks felt overwhelming. Not because she was “doing it wrong” but because awareness is a skill.

After a 1:1 call, we simplified. We looked at her real meals. We added small strategies that actually fit her day.

Her check-in this weekend? ✔️ Protein hit every day ✔️ Hydration nailed ✔️ Biofeedback trending up ✔️ Evening food noise way down

This is exactly what the awareness phase is meant to do. And this is just the beginning.

If nutrition feels overwhelming and you keep thinking you’re the problem, you’re not. You might just need support that actually meets you where you are.

So proud of you, K. 💪

Let me preface that 12 weeks is NOT a long time to fully reach the goals that I have but I am on a time crunch to spring time.

But these are the non negotiables for my week:

• Daily Biofeedback Tracking - more data the better.
• Training sessions 4x/week + 2x/week cardio for 20 minutes.
• Mini Deficit with full macro tracking then build them back up.
• 3L of water daily
• 8-10k steps in a day
• Consistent morning and bedtime routines because I greatly value my mornings and time in bed.

The information that I gather from my biofeedback is going to help dictate my next steps after these first 6 weeks.

But I wanted to give you a taste of what my clients go through with their protocols!

Enjoy 👩‍🍳

My new client of mine J, initially wanted to just see me in person for his training because going to a public gym gave him anxiety.

But J had performance goals, and he quickly realized that between our schedules, coming in multiple times in a week wasn’t feasible.

J and I had our first session of the new year this week and he brought up a moment of clarity he had.

Before going into the new gym he was quite anxious about starting in a new space, finding equipment, and being judged.

Then after a couple of sessions on his own, he started to walk in like he belonged there. Because he does.
He said to me, I realized I was as invisible as everybody else.
Everybody was there to do the same thing, and nobody noticed you.

And that point really hit home. No matter where you are in your journey, no matter what your goals are. You belong there just as much as the next person.

Sure the first couple of times might make your nerves be all over the place BUT it’s the same as doing anything new.

Have you ever struggled with or felt gym-timidation before?
