Fall has officially arrived!

Even though it’s not the start of a new year, it somehow “feels” like one, you know? There’s just something about this season that feels fresh, intentional…and grounding.

I’ll be honest - I’ve always been (and always will be) a summer girl! I looove all things summer, and I’ve really worked on shifting my mindset to not “dread” fall (because honestly, winter and the cold is what I really dread).

I’ve started leaning into what fall actually offers: structure, rhythm, and a sense of calm that fuels growth. The cooler weather alone helps regulate your nervous system, and fall creates a powerful “fresh start” effect (this has been sooo noticeable for me)!

If you’ve been feeling that pull to reset your workouts, nutrition, or mindset, this is your sign to do it NOW. You don’t need to wait for January to shift from chaos into intentional action with your life.

This is the season to slow down with purpose, and actually DO the sh*t you said you’d do this year. Decide what matters for you, get laser-focused, and pour your energy there so you CAN be excited (and in control) as we head into the holiday season!

Episode recap:

• My past mindset and struggles with the fall season
• The real reasons fall feels both calm AND motivating
• How the “fresh start” energy of fall impacts motivation
• Simple shifts to help you transition from summer chaos to fall intentionality
• How to assess your mindset, time management & what’s actually fueling you right now
• Why clarity, purpose & focused action matter MOST in this season

If you’ve been listening to the podcast regularly or following me on social media, you know this year has been quite a roller coaster for me health-wise. I’ve been way more consistent with my macros lately, and I’m easing into a build season this fall, but to be real with you…it’s been a STRUGGLE.

From crazy perimenopause symptoms to blood pressure issues and feeling like my body just isn’t responding the way it used to, I’ve had to figure it out, out one step at a time.

I’ve made necessary adjustments to my nutrition, supplements, and workouts. Ultimately, I really needed simplicity, intentionality, and to listen to my body in this not-so-straightforward season.

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, health challenges, or another hard time in life, it’s okay to pivot. It’s okay to give yourself grace when you need it, but…it’s also okay to give yourself some tough love when you’re sliding into excuses (I’ve had to do this a LOT recently)!

You’re not alone in this, and I promise - you CAN still build a body and life you love!

Episode recap:

• A real-life update on where I’m at with my health, macros & fitness
• My perimenopause journey so far + common symptoms women experience
• My experience working w/ an online health platform + health challenges I faced at the start of 2025
• The specific + frustrating symptoms I struggled with over the past year
• Key changes I made in my health routine + supplements that have been most impactful
• How I simplified my nutrition, cut back on alcohol & adjusted my workouts
• Why finding simplicity AND listening to my body has been a game-changer
• Why you need to channel your “inner Kristy”

I’m excited to wrap up the macros series with a fun Q&A - I received several awesome questions I knew I had to answer here!

If you’ve ever struggled with your “ideal” macro ratios, how to hit protein targets without going over on calories, or you’re looking for clever ways to add calorie-dense, nourishing snacks into your day, I’m diving into ALL of these in this episode.

I know it can feel overwhelming or confusing when it comes to macro calculations (this is something I hear often). While getting clear on your numbers for your goals definitely matters, perfection is NOT the assignment.

Real, lasting results come from consistent and “imperfect” reps along the way!

The biggest takeaways I have for you? Do NOT rush this process, stop “winging” it, and quit overthinking. It’s totally possible to build a body you LOVE and achieve long-term results (no perfection required)!!

Episode recap:

• How to figure out your ideal macro ratio + what those breakdowns actually look like
• Tips for setting your “ideal” bodyweight goal when working toward body recomp
• Calorie-dense, nutrient-rich foods that give you more “bang for your buck”
• How to increase protein without pushing your overall calories too high
• A practical breakdown on adjusting weekday calories if you typically eat more on the weekends
• Key reminders to help you take action & keep moving forward
