Have you ever hit your goal weight and still not felt like your body looked the way you imagined? In this episode, we're diving into why building muscle — not just losing fat — might be the piece you ve been missing. Inspired by a client question about transitioning out of a calorie deficit, I'm sharing my own experience of losing 80 pounds without weight training (spoiler: / just became a smaller, softer version of myself, and breaking down why so many women chase a number on the scale when what they really want is shape and definition.
We talk about the truth behind "toning" and "long, lean muscle," why you should be strength training no matter what phase you're in, how maintenance calories can actually transform your body composition, and what it really means to train close to failure.
Plus, I share practical tips on protein targets, recovery, and how to know if you're actually making progress in the gym.
Whether you've been chasing fat loss for years or you're ready to start building muscle intentionally, this episode will help you rethink your approach.
