Ep 25: 10 Things I've Changed My Mind About in 10 Years of Coaching
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s special episode, I’m celebrating a huge milestone- 10 years of being a fitness coach. And honestly? It still feels surreal to say that out loud.
I started this journey in 2016 as a 21-year-old with a passion for fitness, a big vision, and a LOT of opinions 😅. Some of those beliefs held up… and others? Let’s just say they’ve evolved.
Over the last decade- working with real women, witnessing real transformations, and doing a lot of my own inner work- I’ve learned that growth requires curiosity, humility, and a willingness to change your mind.
So in this episode, I’m walking you through 10 things I’ve changed my mind about in 10 years of coaching- from workouts and nutrition to mindset and sustainability.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why you don’t need hour-long workouts to see results
- How fitness doesn’t have to look one specific way
- The truth about rest days and recovery
- Why stress management is just as important as training
- The shift from doing more → doing better
- How fitness goes far beyond aesthetics into confidence, identity, and empowerment
- A more balanced approach to nutrition (without obsessing over tracking)
- Why the scale doesn’t define your progress
- The importance of strength training for every woman- at any age
- And why cutting out entire food groups isn’t the answer
This episode is a reminder that fitness isn’t about extremes- it’s about building something sustainable, supportive, and aligned with your life.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, overwhelmed by fitness rules, or like you’re “doing it wrong”… then this conversation is for you.
And from the bottom of my heart- thank you to every woman who has been part of this journey. You’ve shaped not only the coach I am today, but the message I continue to share.
Here’s to evolving, growing, and stepping into your strongest self- inside and out.
And if you're not already, be sure to follow me on socials @thestrengthgirl to follow along and weigh-in on the conversations we'll be having. Be sure to also share the episode and pop it into social media so that I know you’ve tuned in. I'll be utilizing my socials to get some inspo from you on what it is you want to hear next!
