This week on Boss Bitch Radio, we're going deep into mental strength, holiday triggers, and why your mindset is the real foundation of your health and fitness journey. If the holidays bring up anxiety, old patterns, or family dynamics you'd rather avoid, you're not alone.

Inside my coaching program, The Healthy and Hot Method, we've been breaking down the book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin, and today I'm giving you a real behind-the-scenes look at our call. We unpacked why so many women fall into the "poor me" loop, how those thoughts quietly sabotage your progress, and how to finally shift your mental patterns so you can move forward instead of staying stuck.

I'm sharing vulnerable parts of my own story, the "tapes" I played for years during a painful chapter of my life, and the exact journaling prompts and mindset tools I teach my clients to help them break out of old beliefs.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unworthy, or like you can't catch a break, this episode will land for you!

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sit down with Angie Bailey, a former nurse who completely reinvented her life through creativity and calligraphy. After 25 years in nursing and battling Hashimoto's and burnout, Angie rediscovered her passion for art and founded Calming Calligraphy turning her healing hobby into a thriving business!

We talk about how slowing down, letting yourself play, and reconnecting with your creativity can become a powerful tool for mindfulness and stress relief. Angie's story is proof that burnout can be the redirection you didn't know you needed.

If you've ever felt stuck, overworked, or like you've lost your spark, this episode will remind you that your creativity isn't gone - it's just waiting for you to remember it!

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're talking about why your mindset - not just your meal plan or workout - determines how far you go. I'm bringing you inside a real call from my Healthy and Hot Method membership, where we're diving into 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin. We unpack how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors shape everything from your confidence to your consistency, and why mental strength is the foundation for setting boundaries, staying focused, and showing up for yourself especially when life gets messy. If you've ever found yourself stuck in self-doubt, people-pleasing, or "starting over" mode, this conversation will help you step into your power and finally make yourself a front-burner priority.

If you've ever caught yourself saying "yes" when you really wanted to say "no," this episode is 100% for you. I'm diving into one of the biggest mindset blocks I see inside my Healthy and Hot Method membership - people pleasing and how it's quietly draining your energy, wrecking your routines, and keeping you stuck!

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm pulling back the curtain on a private members-only coaching call where we talk all about boundaries, why women struggle to stay consistent, and how to start saying "no" without feeling guilty. I also share lessons from "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" by Amy Morin, including how to stop worrying about what everyone thinks and start showing up for yourself unapologetically.

We also cover how to set yourself up for better recovery, more energy, and fewer night sweats. Grab your journal, take some notes, and start sleeping like the confident, energetic woman you want to be!
