Get Sculpted: Sustainable Fat Loss and Building Muscle for Women
Trigger warning: This episode contains open discussion of childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence. Please take care of yourself as you listen.
If you've ever felt unsafe in your own body, disconnected from your confidence, or like you're still carrying weight from something that happened to you, this episode is for you. Nichelle Laus didn't just survive; she built an entire identity and career out of what she refused to let define her.
Coach Jordanna sits down with Nichelle Laus, a sexual abuse survivor, former police officer, kickboxer, and founder of 413 Tactical, to talk about what it really takes to reclaim your power. They cover how physical movement became Nichelle's first act of self-defense, why situational awareness is the most underrated confidence tool women aren't using, and how to start building real strength when you feel like you have none.
This episode is for the woman who wants to feel more confident, more grounded, and more capable in her body and in the world she moves through every day.
