114. Something needs to change - I can’t keep living like this!
Something needs to change. I can’t keep living like this.
If you’ve ever thought that about your weight, your fitness, your sleep, or the way you’ve been living on autopilot — this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes over the last three months, why I stepped away from the podcast and social media, and what’s shifted in my life since late November. I talk honestly about getting sick (including shingles, flu, and probably COVID), what it taught me about rest, and why I’ve been forced to rebuild my routine from a low base — physically and mentally.
I also share the unexpected opportunity that brought me back into the pro peloton as the lead nutritionist for UAE Team ADQ, and how I’m thinking about creating structure and consistency when my schedule is chaotic and travel-heavy.
If you’re trying to rebuild fitness, get back into routine, or create momentum when life feels messy, this episode will help you focus on baby steps, accountability, and realistic strategies that work in real life.
Topics I cover in this episode:
How I knew something needed to change
Why rest became my biggest lesson (and why I ignored it until my body forced it)
What three months of illness taught me about health and priorities
How I’m rebuilding fitness from rock bottom
How I create consistency without a consistent routine
Why I signed up for Mallorca 312 and how micro goals build momentum
