Growth Lane

Want to get shredded, build muscle, hit PRs, and keep your weekend wines all at the same time? This is the real-talk episode you need. Today I’m breaking down why you can’t have it all at once on your fitness journey, and why chasing every goal together is leaving you frustrated and stuck. 

We get into how social media has completely skewed what you think a “normal” body looks like, the hidden price tag behind those ultra-lean physiques (hello, lost cycle and zero energy), and the simple science of your body’s energy budget that explains why fat loss, muscle gain, and peak performance pull against each other. I’ll even share how I learned this the hard way, training for a half marathon and powerlifting nationals at the same time. 

Then I’ll leave you with exactly how to pick your priority and phase your goals so you actually can have it all, just over time instead of all at once. If you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to do everything, this one’s for you. Enjoy!

Himani moved to Australia from India and started out doing HIIT classes — they got her in the door and built the habit, but eventually she hit a wall: she wanted to lift heavier, nail her technique, and see how strong she could really get, so she took the leap and became a unicorn.
In this episode we talk about what health and fitness looked like growing up in India, how she’s built consistency around a demanding career, how she rebuilt her nutrition without giving up the foods she loves, and the surprising ways getting strong in the gym has spilled into every other corner of her life — her confidence, her career, even a solo month-long trip of a lifetime. If you’re ready to graduate from the classes, or you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start, this one’s for you. 

Enjoy!

We all fall off; a holiday, a hard season, an injury, a slump. The problem was never slipping; it’s that most of us don’t know how to come back, so one missed week snowballs into “I’ve ruined everything.” 

In this episode I give you a reset toolkit: simple, repeatable tools to get yourself back on track without the shame spiral - from why the thing keeping you stuck is usually shame (not laziness), to ripping the band-aid, shrinking the first step, dropping your expectations, and raising your floor instead of chasing a perfect week. I hope you find it useful.

There are 12 weeks left of 2026: Do you actually know what you want to get out of them?

In this follow-on to my “9 habits” episode, I’m giving you three things to do today to set yourself up to finish the year strong instead of limping into January wishing you’d started sooner. We cover how to set a realistic goal for the time you’ve actually got, how to map your social calendar and remove the “gray area” that trips most of us up over the silly season, and how to choose guardrails that genuinely match your goal... because random guardrails that just sound good won’t get you there. Whether your next 12 weeks are about fat loss, maintenance, or a strength era, this is your game plan.
🦄 Take the new quiz I made to figure out what your goal should be right now: https://unicorn-nation.com/which-goal
Let’s crush the rest of 2026. 
Enjoy!
