Ever felt like “discipline” culture is doing more harm than good? Or that postpartum “bounce back” talk ignores real life? In this episode, coach James Cappola and I get honest about extremes, why behavior change beats aesthetics, and how to spot toxic advice online.
We dive into how we first connected (yes—a call-out!), the moment James ditched brute-force dieting for performance and patience, and how a six-month NICU journey reframed resilience and priorities. We also talk about raising daughters in an algorithm-obsessed world, using emotion responsibly in content, and why confidence and metabolic health can co-exist.
If you’re ready to trade noise for simple, sustainable systems, this one’s for you.
