  • 296: Stronger with Purpose: A Simpler, More Sustainable Approach to Fitness and Life with Emily Long
    Mar 5 2025

    Ever feel like you’re stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle when it comes to fitness, mindset, or even just keeping up with life? You’re not alone. Today, I’m sitting down with Emily Long, the creator of the STRONGER framework, to talk about a simpler, more sustainable approach to fitness and life—one that actually works for busy women like you.

    Emily knows firsthand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of where to start. That’s why she developed STRONGER, a method that helps women build strength with purpose—without the guilt, shame, or burnout. In this episode, we’re breaking down:

    ✔️ The STRONGER framework—what it stands for and how it helps women stay consistent
    ✔️ Why the all-or-nothing mindset is so common (and how to ditch it for good)
    ✔️ How to build momentum and stay motivated even when life gets chaotic
    ✔️ The smallest, easiest step you can take today to start feeling stronger—inside and out

    Plus, Emily is sharing what kind of support truly moves the needle when it comes to long-term success (spoiler: it’s not what you think!). If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start feeling stronger with purpose, you won’t want to miss this episode.

  • 295: The Stuff You Keep for Someday And Why Its Holding You Back
    Feb 26 2025

    Ever Open Your Closet and Feel Defeated? You’re Not Alone.

    We’ve all been there. You catch a glimpse of that pair of jeans you swore you’d fit into again, or the untouched art supplies that were going to make you the next Picasso. But instead of feeling motivated, you feel a little stuck—maybe even guilty. If that sounds familiar, then, friend, this episode is for you.

    Today, we’re talking about aspirational clutter—the stuff we hold onto because it represents who we hoped we’d become. The fancy cookware for the gourmet chef phase that never happened. The fitness gear collecting dust in the corner. The books you swore you’d read but haven’t cracked open. And the hard truth? Keeping these items doesn’t inspire us. It keeps us stuck.

    So, in this episode, we’re unpacking:

    • Why aspirational clutter is so tough to let go of
    • The sneaky ways it keeps you from moving forward
    • How to release it without guilt (for real this time!)

    And don’t worry—letting go isn’t about giving up on your dreams. It’s about making space for who you are right now. Because, friend, you are worthy and enough in this very moment—no extra supplies required.

    Listener Challenge: Take Back Your Space!

    Find one item of aspirational clutter in your home.

    Ask yourself:

    👉 Does this fit my current season of life?

    👉 Do I feel inspired or guilty when I see it?

    If it no longer serves you, let it go. And if you do? I want to hear about it! Share your story.
