  • My Top 3 Motivations

    My Top 3 Motivations
    Apr 9 2025
    People always ask me, “Christy, what motivates you?”

    I hate that question. Because I don’t rely on motivation - it’s not real. It fades fast.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 things that actually keep me going. The real stuff. The hard stuff. The stuff that works when nothing else does.

    I’ll tell you what I’m afraid of (and how I use it to push harder), why I never settle, no matter how far I’ve come - and what keeps me showing up even when no one’s watching.

    I’m also getting real about the behind-the-scenes moments… the weight struggles, the heartbreak, the financial pressure. I’ve been knocked down more times than I can count. But I refuse to stay there.

    And there’s someone in my life who keeps me steady, even when I feel like quitting. You might be surprised who it is.

    So if you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or wondering if you’ve got what it takes - listen up.

    You don’t need more motivation. You need a reason that lasts, and I’m sharing mine in this episode.

    This isn’t some pep talk. This is raw, real, and uncomfortable - just like success actually is.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, lazy, or just over it, this episode will change how you think about pushing forward.

    Listen now - before you give up.

  • If the FLU comes for YOU

    If the FLU comes for YOU
    Mar 26 2025
    I got hit with the flu very hard. And I mean ‘hard’. One minute, I was fine, heading to the Arnold Classic, and the next, I was stuck on a plane with fever, chills, nausea, and full-body aches, wondering how I was going to make it through. It hit me so fast that even the flight attendant was worried. But the crazy part is that I recovered in ‘half’ the time it takes most people. How? Because I did things before and after I got sick, that set me up for success. In this episode, I’ll be sharing exactly what helped me bounce back so fast. I’ll tell you about the number one mistake that keeps people sick longer (most people don’t even realise they’re doing this). Plus the one simple habit I’ve been doing for years which gave me a massive advantage, and why your body might be struggling to fight off illness without you even knowing it. I’ll also break down the three biggest factors that made the biggest difference in my recovery, like how I kept myself out of the hospital, what I took to support my immune system, and the biggest game-changers for fighting off and a key nutrient that most people don’t get enough of. What I share could mean the difference between being stuck in bed for a week or greatly reducing the symptoms and recovering quicker, bouncing back in just a few days. So, if you’ve ever been knocked down by the flu or want to make sure you recover fast the next time it hits, don’t miss this episode.

  • Untreated Grief

    Untreated Grief
    Mar 19 2025
    Grief is something we all go through at some point, but most people don’t really know how to deal with it. We’re often told that “time heals all wounds” or that “moving on means forgetting,” but those ideas can actually keep us stuck in pain. In this episode, Tim Ringgold, a board-certified music therapist and grief counselor, joins me to share his powerful story of loss from losing five close friends to the heartbreaking death of his young daughter from a rare disease. Tim opens up about the importance of music during his dark times and how it can help you heal. We’re talking about why grief doesn’t follow a set timeline, how ignoring your emotions keeps you stuck, and how to heal without forgetting the people you’ve lost. Tim also explains the best ways to support someone who’s grieving. He shares what to say (and what NOT to say) to someone who's hurting. If you or someone you love has experienced loss, this episode will give you hope, guidance, and practical advice for navigating grief and finding peace again. This conversation is filled with powerful lessons about love, loss, and learning to live fully again. So, join us today if you’re feeling stuck in sadness, unsure how to move forward, or you just want to know how to be there for someone who’s grieving.

    No one told me THIS!
    Mar 14 2025
    I know what it feels like to lose weight and think everything will be perfect, only to face challenges you never expected. No one tells you that losing weight is just the beginning, and the real battle starts with keeping it off. And in this episode, I’m sharing the surprising truths about weight loss that no one talks about. I asked my Code Red coaches and mentors to tell me the real story - the good and the bad. The things they wish someone had told them before they started. You’ll hear from women who lost over 100 pounds and gained confidence, energy, and even felt like they aged backward. But they also faced struggles, which you might or already be facing, from the social pressure to live an unhealthy lifestyle, to the identity crisis and feeling like a stranger in a new body, you'll learn how they overcame it all. They reveal how to deal with losing friends who don't support your new lifestyle, the shocking difficulty of maintaining weight loss, simple steps to maintain your new lifestyle, and avoiding excessive weight regain. I’ll also get real about my own journey, what happened after my bodybuilding competition, why regaining weight is 10 times harder to lose the second time, and what I wish someone had told me before. So what about you? Are you struggling to lose weight? Or have you lost it, but now find yourself fighting to keep it off? Join me today because this episode will open your eyes to the truth about weight loss, so you can be ready for what’s coming next.

  • Protecting Your EXCUSES

    Protecting Your EXCUSES
    Mar 5 2025
    What’s really stopping you from being healthy, losing excess weight and feeling better? I’ve heard it all - from genetics to caregiving and having kids - and I’m here to tell you, those aren’t the real problem. Today, I’m breaking down the top three excuses people cling to like their life depends on it and showing you why they don’t hold up. Genetics? Sure, they determine where you store fat, but they don’t control whether you can lose it. I’ll tell you about a family with “perfect” athletic genes and why lifestyle choices matter way more than DNA. Too busy caregiving? Whether you’re taking care of an elderly parent or a special needs child, I get it - it’s exhausting. But if you don’t take care of yourself, who will? I’ll show you how to make it work, even with a packed schedule. I’m also diving into the no one reason parents give for not being healthy and how to overcome it. You’re running them all over town for sports and activities, but what example are you setting when you’re sick, exhausted, and falling apart? You really don’t need perfect circumstances. You don’t need more time, better genes, or fewer responsibilities and today I’ll show you how to stop whining and start taking action! If you’re ready to stop making excuses and finally take control of your health, jump on this episode now.

  • The DARK SIDE of DIETING

    The DARK SIDE of DIETING
    Feb 26 2025
    If you want to lose weight and get healthy, you just might be doing it wrong. See, most of us think it’s just about eating less and moving more, right? But the truth is, most diets fail, and almost nobody talks about why. That’s why in this episode, I sat down with IFBB Pro Jeff Later to break down the dark side of dieting - the stuff no one warns you about. Jeff gets real about what happens after you lose weight and why your metabolism slows down when you diet, making it harder to keep the weight off. He explains how extreme calorie cutting can cause long-term damage to your body and hormones and why most people gain back more weight than they lost. Even worse, that weight is harder to lose the second time around, the social and emotional side of weight loss. We dive deep into why many people lose important relationships after getting fit and how to reduce such tensions at home Jeff reveals why crash diets, weight loss drugs like semaglutide, and gastric bypass don’t teach real habits and why people are set up to fail from the start. But most importantly, we teach you how to break free from the weight loss cycle for good. So if you’re sick of feeling stuck, and watching the weight come back every time, this episode is for you. Join us today to learn how to fix your metabolism, shift your identity, and create a lifestyle that actually lasts without losing important relationships.

  • Decline is a CHOICE

    Decline is a CHOICE
    Feb 19 2025
    Most people think getting older means getting weaker, but that’s just not true. The real problem? The way we live today is making us sick, weak, and tired way faster than it should. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jeff Later , IFBB Pro and founder of ‘Muscle Mastery Program’, to talk about why physical and mental decline is a choice, and how you can fight back against aging. We’ve been told that weight gain, weak bones, and low energy are just part of getting older, but Jeff and I are here to debunk that myth . But today we’re breaking down how your daily habits are making or breaking your health and the real reason most people think they "can’t lose weight" anymore. Jeff Explains what’s REALLY happening with your hormones, what you can do about it, and how screen time is affecting your body (way more than you think). And most importantly, Jeff shares the one true key to staying strong as you age. Jeff also shares inspiring stories of people who refused to accept decline, including 65-year-old Joan, who went from being overweight and frail to strong and fit. So if you’re tired of feeling like aging is out of your control, this episode is for you . You CAN stay strong, fit, and active, at ANY age. So watch now and take back control of your health!
