"I thought I'd be further along by now. What's wrong with me?"

Here's the thing, there's nothing wrong with you. Truly.

You're not broken, lazy, or cursed. You're a human being living a human timeline. One that never unfolds as cleanly as the version you imagined on your best, most optimistic day.

It makes sense that you're grieving the life you thought you'd have by now. It make sense that you feel embarrassed, or disappointed, or tired of being "resilient." You built a picture in your mind because you needed something to hope toward. That's not delusion-that's survival.

But instead of being hard on yourself notice what's actually true right now. Are you making choices, even imperfect ones, that keep you moving forward? Are you learning, noticing patterns, or cultivating resilience in ways you can't yet measure? These are the things that build the foundation for a better situation, even if it doesn't look like the picture you had in your mind.

The real work here isn't forcing life to match your timeline, It's recognizing your own persistence, your own capacity to keep showing up, and allowing your next steps to emerge from reality, not expectation.

You get to adjust your expectations without blaming yourself. You get to begin again without apologizing, And you get to believe that your "better situation" is still possible-even if you're not standing in it yet.
Follow us to help get you on the right path in life.

Will Lifting Make You Bulky?
Let's set the record straight: lifting weights does not make you bulky.
Here's why:
1. Your hormones say nope. Women don't have the testosterone levels needed to "accidentally" build huge muscles. The only way body builders get there is years of intentional training + nutrition.
2. Muscle = metabolism boost. The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you burn even at rest. Translation: strength training helps you feel leaner, not bigger.
3. Strength training shapes your body. Think sculpted, toned, confident- not "bulky". Cardio alone can make you smaller, but it won't give you that strong defined look you're chasing.
Weights don't make you bulky. They make you powerful. And they build the kind of confidence that cardio never could.

Your Sunday Reset
New week, New chance to show up for yourself.
Forget the workouts you skipped or the snacks you "shouldn't" have had. That was last week.
What matters is you choose today. Here's a little pep talk from us.
Set one simple INTENTION. Not 10. Just 1. Drink your water, hit your protein, take a walk. Choose one thing that keeps your grounded.
Stack SMALL WINS. Big transformations aren't built overnight. They're build one choice at a time. Every rep, every step, every meal adds up.
Give Yourself GRACE. Life happens. Missing a workout doesn't mean failure. It means you're human. The win is coming back anyway.
This week, you don't need perfection. You just need to keep showing up.
And that's exactly why we created The Skinny Shaman. We are here to keep you going, give you that motivation you are lacking in your life, we will support you, congratulate you on your wins, and feel for you losses. We are a team in your journey. Your new best friend, your cheerleader.
Make sure to follow us, and sign up for one of our programs so we can work together to achieve your goals.

Why you're wiped after workouts.
Ever finish a session and feel exhausted head to toe, even if your legs are not that sore?
That's because there are two kinds of fatigue:
Central Fatigue (brain + nervous system)
Your "command center" gets tired from heavy lifts, new skills, short rest, stress and lack of sleep. It is why you feel foggy, drained, or unmotivated even when your muscles feel fine,
Peripheral Fatigue (muscles)
Local fatigue from reps + sets. Think burning quads, shaky last reps, classic DOMS.
Both matter, and both require recovery.
How to Recover Smarter:
-Prioritize sleep (Your #1 recovery tool.)
- Manage Stress (walks, journaling, or breathwork keep your nervous system balanced.)
- Fuel Properly ( Carbs + Protein after training = repair + energy)
- Active Recovery ( Light movement helps circulation + reduces soreness)
- Listen to Your Body ( some days need full rest, not just "pushing through.")
Feeling wiped doesn't mean you're weak. It means you body's asking for balance.
That's exactly why The Skinny Shaman programs are built with recovery in mind- so you know when to push, when to pull back and how to keep progress sustainable.

For too long, women have been told the goal is to get smaller, to shrink, to eat less, move more and chase "skinny."
But here's the truth:
Strong is confident.
Strong is healthy.
Strong is sustainable.
Strength training doesn't just change your body. It changes how you show up in every part of your life.
Strength training boosts your metabolism, builds muscle that shapes and defines your body, and gives you energy and confidence that last far beyond the gym.
You don't need another fad diet, or 90-minute cardio grind. You need a plan that makes you stronger week by week, inside and out.
That is what The Skinny Shaman is here for. We help with nutrition, supplements, workouts for people who want to be more than just "skinny."
Ready for sustainable weight loss and smarter body contouring? The Skinny Shaman in Menomonee Falls offers expert, personalized plans that focus on lasting health and confidence. Book a consultation today: https://wix.to/fGOB9V1

Salt is NOT The Enemy
Somewhere along the way, salt got a bad rep.
But here's the truth: Sodium isn't just a flavor booster, it's a key player in how your body actually functions.
Here's why you need it:
Hydration Hero: Sodium helps your body balance fluids. Without it, you can chug water all day and still feel dehydrated. That's why athletes lean on electrolytes. Sodium is what keeps your cells ready to perform.
Muscle Contractions: Every rep, squat, and push up starts with an electrical signal. Sodium carries that message so your muscles can contract. Cut too low? Cue cramps, weakness, and fatigue.
Energy + Recovery: Sodium supports nerve function + nutrient delivery. Translation- steadier energy in workouts and smoother recovery after.

So no, salt isn't the enemy. Cutting it too low can actually hurt performance, recovery, and results.
What matters? Balance.
Not drowning everything in table salt, but hitting the right levels for your body, activity, and goals.
That's exactly why we built The Skinny Shaman. To help you balance nutrition (yes, even sodium) while getting stronger in the gym and in real life.
Visit us and let us help you get on the right track and build a stronger, more balanced you.

Bloat Happens. Balance Fixes It.
Let's clear this up- bloating isn't always about food. Sometimes, it's your routine.
Here's what could be causing it:
-Not enough water. (Yes, really.)
-Skipping protein and relying on carbs alone.
-Stress + poor recovery. (Hello, cortisol.)
Fix it with these small shifts:
-Drink 80-100oz of water each day.
-Add protein at every meal.
- Strength training reduces inflammation and improves digestion.
It's not about restriction. It's about regulation. And your body deserves that kind of balance.
Visit us to learn how to get your body to work right for you. We can help reach health and fitness goals.

They say clutter blocks abundance. If that's true, my camera roll has been blocking miracles since 2014.
Our phones should serve us, not siphon us, Digital mess creeps up quietly-45 unread messages, 200 open tabs, "screenshot for later" (later never came). All of these quietly eat away at our attention, creativity, and sense of groundedness. Today's not about throwing your phone into the ocean (tempting, though). It's about reclaiming a little peace in the spaces you can control- your digital alter, your energetic home online.
Today I want you to close three tabs that have been haunting your browser for weeks. Goodbye digital ghosts.
Its not about decluttering your browser, it's about clearing energetic residue. Every open tab is a micro-tether to unfinished thought, unmade decision, or unresolved curiosity. Tiny, invisible threads that tug at your focus all day.

Cardio isn't always the answer. You know that feeling after another long cardio session- exhausted, starving, and somehow... still bloated? Yeah we have all been there.
Here's why it happens:
Cardio burns calories while you do it.
Strength training burns calories while you rest.
Cardio can be great for your heart- but it won't sculpt your body, boost your metabolism, or fix that "why am I always hungry?" cycle.
So if your goal is to tone, tighten, and actually see results- strength training is your new best friend.
Get started today and see what happens when you train smarter.
