Think you’re eating plenty of protein? You might be surprised.

So many foods are considered “great protein sources,” but when you look closely, most of the calories are actually coming from fat or carbs. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on some of the biggest offenders — foods that look protein-rich but tell a different story when you compare them calorie for calorie with a lean protein source like chicken breast.

You'll learn:

🔸 Why cheese is more of a fat source than a protein source (and what to swap it with)

🔸 The real story behind ground beef labels like “93% lean,” and why they can be misleading

🔸 Eggs vs egg whites — how to get the nutrients you want without the extra calories

🔸 Why nuts and nut butters aren’t the protein bombs you’ve been told they are

🔸 Protein bars: how to spot the ones that are basically candy bars in disguise

The goal isn’t to cut out these foods completely. It’s to understand what you’re really eating so you can build balanced meals that support your energy, your workouts, and your goals.

Protein doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require a little awareness. Let’s dive in!

🎧 Listen now and learn how to avoid these common protein mistakes.

Do you ever feel guilty when life slows down, like you should immediately fill the space with more tasks? In this episode, I'm talking about why rest feels so uncomfortable, why busyness is worn like a badge of honor, and how to break free from toxic productivity.

This episode will help you recognize the hidden beliefs that tie your worth to how busy you are and give you permission to embrace rest as a powerful part of living a healthy, productive life.

You'll learn:

🔸 The cultural pressure that makes so many of us feel guilty for slowing down

🔸 Why being busy doesn’t necessarily mean you’re productive

🔸 The difference between toxic productivity and healthy productivity

🔸 Why rest is not laziness but a vital part of true productivity

If you’ve been caught in the cycle of go, go, go, this episode will remind you that slowing down is not a failure. It’s an intentional choice that keeps you energized, focused, and aligned with what matters most.

Do you ever feel like eating healthy means giving up all the fun? Or like enjoying food means throwing your health out the window? The truth is, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to balance food for fuel and food for enjoyment so you can build a healthy lifestyle that actually lasts.

I’ll walk you through three simple categories of food and the lessons we can learn from each. When you understand these categories, it becomes easier to create balance, avoid strict restriction followed by binge eating, and enjoy food while still working toward your health goals.

You'll learn:

🔸 What "food for fuel" is and why not every meal has to be the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten

🔸 How "food for enjoyment" can fit into a healthy lifestyle without derailing your progress

🔸 Why some people thrive with flexible restraint while others do better with complete avoidance

🔸 The importance of finding the "sweet spot" of meals that are both delicious and nutrient-dense

🔸 How taste buds adapt over time and healthy food can actually become more satisfying

By the end, you’ll have a clear framework to help you eat for energy, enjoy food without guilt, and discover a sustainable way of eating that works long term.
