Chasing Strong with Megan Bohannon
If you loved the unfiltered vibe of Weight & See, you're in the right place. Welcome to Chasing Strong, where we cut through the noise and talk about the boring s*** that works to feel strong in your body and confident in yourself. I'm Megan Bohannon (certified nutrition coach + CPT), and every episode is part education, part pep talk, and part "okay...same." We talk fueling, movement, mindset, and the messy middle but no shame, quick fixes or perfectionism. New episodes drop on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month, with occasional guest bonus episodes and visits from my original co-host, Jennah! Thanks for being here, friends!
