    #143 - From 'I'm Just Not A Gym Girly' To Gym Girl For Life; How Rose Fell In Love With Lifting, Nailed Her Nutrition & Got Strong AF

    16/08/2026 | 33 mins.
    In this episode I sit down with Rose, who spent years telling herself "I'm just not a gym girly."ย 

    After developing arthritis in her twenties, she knew she wanted to stay active, but the gym never felt like her world, and even once she started showing up she went two and a half years without seeing real progress โ€” stuck in a knowledge deficit, handed unrealistic meal plans, and told the way she liked to eat simply wouldn't work.ย 

    In this chat, Rose shares how everything finally clicked: falling in love with barbells, easing into calorie tracking one meal at a time instead of overhauling everything overnight, upgrading her traditional and plant-based meals with more protein, and staying consistent through shift work and a full-time study season by planning her weeks instead of chasing the "perfect" routine.ย 

    We talk about ditching all-or-nothing thinking, hitting a bench press PB, managing her arthritis pain through strength, and the identity shift that changed everything โ€” from "not a gym person" to "I'm a total gym girly and I own it."ย 

    If you've ever thought the gym just isn't for you, this one's proof that it's never too late to rewrite that story.

    Enjoy!ย

    In this episode, we're breaking down the 4 things that decide whether you rise to your goals... or fall back to your baseline.
    Your environment, your identity, your standards, and your systems โ€” because you don't rise to your goals, you fall to these instead.

    In this episode, weโ€™re back with another interview from inside our unicorn community!
    You get to meet Emily, who joined the program 18 months ago after going on a significant weight loss journey on her own.
    She had tried to shift gears into building muscle, but didnโ€™t feel like her efforts were paying off. Since joining, Emily has made amazing strength gains, transformed from a self-proclaimed cardio addict to a total gym girl, and built unshakable confidence that has positively impacted all areas of her life.
    If youโ€™re ready to feel excited about your fitness journey, and learn what happens when you allow yourself to live more boldly, be sure to check this one out. I have a feeling you might justย loveย it.
