    You’ve said it before: “I know what to do, why can’t I just do it?”
    This one’s for you.

    In this episode, I talk about what’s really behind that frustration — the false belief that you’re lazy or undisciplined when in reality, your life has just changed.

    Here’s what I dive into:

    • The difference between knowing what to do and knowing how to do it
    • Why your old college routine doesn’t work anymore
    • How unrealistic plans destroy your self-trust
    • What discipline actually looks like when life feels full
    • How to simplify your plan and stay consistent
    • The one question to ask yourself before you give up

    If you’ve been beating yourself up for not sticking to it, this episode will help you see the real reason and show you how to finally move forward.

    🎧 Press play and stop calling yourself lazy. You’re not broken you just need a plan that fits your life.

  • Sobriety, Menopause, and Calling Out Fitness BS with Beth Feracco
    Nov 5 2025

    Send Nathalia a Text Message!

    If you’ve ever felt like life, motherhood, hormones, and everyone else’s needs come before your own — this episode is going to hit.

    Today I’m talking with Beth Feracco — strength coach, mom, wife, former alcoholic — who hit rock bottom, walked herself into an AA meeting, and rebuilt her entire life in her 40s.

    We get into:

    • The exact “one decision” that made her get sober
    • How fitness became the anchor that kept her from going backward
    • Why women resist the boring basics and chase gut protocols and cortisol hacks
    • Menopause, hot flashes, HRT, and being proactive instead of suffering through it
    • How to stop cooking 4 different meals for the family and actually eat for your goals
    • Mom guilt, mental load, and setting boundaries without being a martyr
    • Why social media “inflammation” talk is just diet culture in a new outfit

    It’s funny, it’s blunt, and it’s the kind of conversation women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s need to hear especially if you’ve ever said “I know what to do, I just don’t do it.”

  • Muscle Myths, Metabolism, and the Boring Stuff That Works — with James Krieger
    Oct 29 2025

    Send Nathalia a Text Message!

    If you’ve ever been told a pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day, that carbs make you fat, or that you must do fasted cardio to see results — this one’s for you.

    In this episode, I sit down with exercise scientist James Krieger to unpack what’s real, what’s outdated, and what actually matters for lasting results.

    We cover:

    • The real number of calories muscle burns (it’s not 50 per pound)
    • Why “slow metabolism” is mostly a movement problem, not a genetic curse
    • How much muscle you can realistically build per month
    • Why low-carb and fasting aren’t magic — they just help people eat less
    • What insulin really does (and why healthy people don’t need glucose monitors)
    • Why the “anabolic window” is mostly myth
    • The real reason fasted cardio doesn’t outperform fed cardio
    • How overcomplicating your health with gadgets and “cycle syncing” just adds noise

    James and I also talk about how perfectionism and micromanaging every detail can actually make you miss what matters most — consistency, adherence, and real-life flexibility.

    🎧 Hit play — and get ready to rethink everything you’ve been told about metabolism and fat loss.

    In this episode, we talk about how she learned to stop chasing perfection and start building consistency through flexible nutrition, realistic workouts, and a major mindset shift.

    We also dive into:

    • The real reason consistency slips when life gets busy
    • How GI issues and bloating can sabotage your motivation — and what actually helps
    • Why perfectionism is keeping you from results
    • How to adapt your plan when life “life’s”
    • What happens when you finally give yourself permission to change

    If you’ve been stuck in the “start, stop, start again” cycle, this episode will show you what’s possible when you focus on progress over perfection.

    🎧 Hit play — and see what can happen when you stop waiting for perfect.

    Oct 15 2025

    Send Nathalia a Text Message!

    Let’s be honest — we’ve all said it: “I’m just too busy.”
    But is it really that we’re too busy… or that we’ve stopped setting boundaries?

    In this episode, Coach Jen and I unpack what being busy actually means and how it’s quietly draining your energy, your confidence, and your connection with yourself. We talk about how to stop using busyness as a badge of honor, how to create systems that work for your real life, and why self-respect starts with the way you treat yourself.

    We also dive into:

    • The myth of “I don’t have time” and what’s really hiding behind it
    • How your habits and boundaries shape your kids’ behavior and self-worth
    • The difference between being productive and being present
    • Three practical strategies to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling in control

    If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t have time for me,” this episode is your wake-up call to take your power back.

    🎧 Hit play and let’s drop the “busy” badge together.

  • 7 Fitness Lies Keeping Women Stuck (and What Actually Works)
    Oct 8 2025

    Send Nathalia a Text Message!

    If you’ve ever felt like the fitness industry is talking out of both sides of its mouth, you’re not wrong. From “never train fasted” to “lift light for lean muscle” to “ditch the scale,” women are constantly bombarded with mixed messages that make staying consistent nearly impossible.

    In this week’s episode, I break down why so much of what you’ve been told is flat-out wrong and what actually matters if you want results that last. I talk about how information overload leads to paralysis, why real progress comes from simplicity, and how to know which rules are worth following and which ones are total nonsense.

    You’ll walk away knowing how to tune out the noise, train with confidence, and stop second-guessing every move you make.

    Listen now to finally understand what works and leave the rest behind.

    Oct 1 2025

    Send Nathalia a Text Message!

    Ever said, “I know what to do—I just need to be consistent”? This episode breaks down why that thought keeps you spinning your wheels. I explain how knowing isn’t enough, why your old strategies don’t fit your current life, and what you actually need instead.

    We’ll cover:

    • Why “consistency problems” are really strategy problems
    • How different life seasons demand different plans
    • The 4 essentials: clarity, specificity, strategy, execution systems
    • How information overload creates paralysis by analysis

    If you’ve been frustrated thinking you already “know what to do,” this episode will give you the truth and the tools to finally move forward.

  • How This Mom of 6 Lost 15 Pounds in 9 Weeks (Without Giving Up Travel or Family Life)
    Sep 25 2025

    Send Nathalia a Text Message!

    If anyone had a reason to put fat loss on hold, it’s Ashley—six kids, constant travel, a business, and zero “perfect timing.” Instead, she’s down 15 pounds in just 9 weeks.

    In this episode, we break down how she did it: simple nutrition swaps, 20-minute strength sessions, and accountability that works at Disney, parties, and road trips.

    We dive into:

    • Why a parasite cleanse and “trying everything” left her stuck
    • The mindset shift from “Do I have permission?” to “These are my goals”
    • How to make travel and family life part of the plan (not an excuse)
    • Why waiting for the “perfect time” keeps you spinning your wheels
    • The power of support when fear creeps in (“What if it stops working?”)

    This is proof you don’t need detoxes, extremes, or all-day gym sessions to see real results. You just need a plan that works with your life.
