In this episode, I’m talking all about consistency! How to stick with your Steel Mace training even when life feels a little all over the place.

Let’s be honest, staying on track isn’t always easy, especially when you’re training solo at home. But with a few simple strategies like creating a space you actually want to show up in, keeping your mace visible, and setting a schedule that works for your life, you can stay connected to your practice without the burnout.

I’m also sharing some real-life stories from my own journey, tips for training at home, and how to build discipline without being hard on yourself.

If you’ve been falling off your routine or feeling stuck, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we dive into the evolution of diet culture in 2025 and how it's hiding in plain sight under the guise of wellness trends, biohacking, and self-optimization. From the rise of GLP-1 medications to the obsession with “clean eating” and extreme diets, diet culture is still thriving, but it’s not as obvious as it used to be.

If you’re tired of feeling like you need to constantly “fix” yourself, this episode is for you. We’ll explore how diet culture continues to sneak into our lives and offer a powerful solution: The Warrior’s Way. It’s about focusing on strength, sustainability, and true health, not shrinking yourself or following unrealistic rules.

Join me as we break free from the toxic cycles of diet culture and start building habits that empower us to thrive, no matter what our bodies look like. Ready to feel strong, balanced, and in control? Tune in now!
