I’m recording this episode right before heading into full strategic laziness mode in Europe — soaking up family time, traveling to Spain, and taking a real break for the first time in years. But I couldn’t leave without dropping a truly juicy episode for you.If you’ve been feeling stuck, doing “everything right,” and still not seeing results, you might be wondering if you’ve hit a plateau. So today, we’re getting into it: why plateaus happen, what questions you need to ask yourself first, and how to figure out if you're truly stuck… or if you're closer to your best body than you think.I'm giving you powerful questions to audit your habits, your routine, and your mindset, so you can finally move forward with clarity and confidence. Grab a notebook — this one’s not just background noise for a walk or while you're cooking. You’ll want to pause, replay, and write your answers down.ON TODAY’S EPISODE…→ How life (and little habits) sneak up and stall your progress→ 10+ questions to audit your current nutrition, workouts, and mindset→ Why optimizing too soon can stall your fat loss→ What to focus on FIRST before tweaking anything→ The difference between a true plateau vs. your “best body”→ How to know if it’s time to accept, adjust, or amplify your routineLINKS→ Take the Sculpt course so you can create a workout routine you love that also gets the results you want.→ Take the Nourish course to create your personalized nutrition strategy.→ If you’re interested in both Sculpt and Nourish, check out The Body Bundle!→ Join my group program Emotional to Conscious Eating to overcome emotional eating, release restriction, stop self-sabotage & finally lose weight with ease.→ Check out my website for free resources, courses, and more!→ Follow me on Instagram.Use the code “NCLOVE” at checkout to get 10% off on any of my offers.

Have you ever made a color-coded meal plan and ditched it by day three, or is that just me?A few weeks ago, I was in the middle of launching Bulky 2 Lean, a workshop I absolutely love and know helps women feel confident in their bodies again.But two days in… I wanted to quit. Not because I didn’t believe in the work, but because I had a strict launch plan. A plan that felt boring, rigid, and totally disconnected from how I actually wanted to show up.So I ditched it. That was when my coach reminded me of something I tell you all the time: you don’t need a plan. You need a strategy.That moment hit me hard, and it’s exactly what today’s episode is all about. We’re going deep on the difference between planning and strategizing in your workouts, your nutrition, and, yes, even in your life.ON TODAY’S EPISODE…→ The truth about workout apps and meal plans and why they usually backfire→ What it really means to have a strategy→ How I lost 35 lbs postpartum without planning a single meal→ The hidden cost of planning every workout or meal in advanceLINKS→ Bulky 2 Lean→ 4-Week Coaching Intensive→ Check out my website for free resources, courses, and more!→ Follow me on Instagram.Use the code “NCLOVE” at checkout to get 10% off on any of my offers.
