🎙 Ep 66: Top 11 Reasons Why You Won’t Go To The Gym (and What To Do About It)

We all have excuses for skipping the gym—some valid, some… not so much. In this episode, I break down the 11 most common reasons people avoid the gym, from lack of time and high costs, to gym anxiety and not knowing what to do once you get there.

You’ll hear: ✅ Why these excuses hold you back more than you think ✅ The difference between reactive vs. preventative health (and why it matters) ✅ How coaching and learning proper technique can unlock years of progress ✅ A mindset shift that makes fitness less about “having to” and more about “getting to”

👉 Bottom line: You can keep avoiding the gym, but eventually your hand will be forced—either by time, health, or injury. Choose prevention over reaction. With the right guidance, support, and basic exercise knowledge, you’ll build a fitness foundation that pays off for years.

🎙 Episode Title: Mom: A Noun, Not a Diagnosis

Being a mom isn’t a medical condition—it’s a role, not a reason to accept back pain, leaking, lost intimacy, or feeling like your health comes last. In this episode, I break down the societal perceptions keeps put on mothers and show you how to flip the script.

We cover:

• Leaking forever? Not if you take action now.

• Sex life changes? Short-term, maybe—but there’s a path back to connection and pleasure.

• Can’t lose the baby weight? Let’s talk real numbers, realistic nutrition, and safe, effective training.

• Kids come first? Not always—you and your partner’s health matter most because your kids will follow suit.

You’ll learn prevention strategies like perineal massage, smart exercise guidelines for pregnancy and postpartum, and practical ways to carve out time for yourself without guilt.

The bottom line: you can either invest 30–60 minutes a day now, or spend much more time later managing chronic pain, fatigue, burn out, and an unfit life for a once active woman. Mom is a noun—don’t let it be your diagnosis.
