300 episodes?! I KNOW. I can’t believe it either. Today, I’m throwing confetti, having a moment, and keeping it as real as ever.

In this special milestone episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the actual behind-the-scenes of building and sustaining this podcast—no highlight reel BS, just truth bombs, bloopers, breakdowns, and breakthroughs.

Whether you’ve been here since Episode 1 or found me while Googling “How can I lose belly fat?”—this one’s for YOU.

I break down:

• my struggle with imposter syndrome and why I almost didn’t start this podcast
• The power of temper tantrums (and how to not set up camp there)
• Why I gave up the hustle life and picked a pace I could actually keep
• How I treat consistency like my ride-or-die (not some flaky ex named motivation)
• My boring AF but needle-moving routines (spoiler: protein and planning FTW)
• Why sprint-to-the-finish-line diets set us up for disappointment
• The REAL strategy behind lasting results after 40—and why boring is the new sexy
• Boundaries, rest, and refusing to answer emails on Sundays (even when I’m bored)
• And the number one lesson: You don’t need to be Beyoncé… you just need to start

Plus, I’m sharing how I coach, how I don’t coach, and why your sustainable path forward isn’t a one-size-fits-all bootcamp.

This isn’t just a celebration. It’s a roadmap.

It’s proof that progress doesn’t always look sexy—but showing up does the trick every time.

Hit play and let’s get into it. Then…

If you’ve ever said, “My stomach hates me,” this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is your permission slip to stop guessing and finally figure out what’s actually going on inside that bloated, confused belly of yours.

Bloat by noon? Clothes suddenly tight? Brain fog, mood swings, or feeling like your body’s just off? Yeah, your gut’s probably waving a white flag—and I’ve invited Lindsay Renteria here to talk all about.

Lindsay Renteria and I dive deep into:

✅ The truth about food sensitivity tests (and why they might be messing with your head)
✅ What leaky gut really is—and how it’s connected to your skin, your sleep, and your sanity
✅ Why low stomach acid is way more common than you think (and what stress has to do with it)
✅ If you actually need probiotics… or just more sauerkraut in your life
✅ Easy AF steps to start healing your gut without dropping hundreds on supplements

We’re breaking it all down with zero fluff, zero overwhelm—just smart, doable strategies that actually work for women who live in the real world (you know, the one with pizza nights and stressful days).

Listen in and walk away knowing how to actually support your gut… without feeling like you need to choke down supplements.

If you think health has to be hard, restrictive, and basically suck the joy outta life—this episode is your wake-up call.

I’m joined by Justin Nault, founder of Clovis (and one of the very few dudes I’ve let crash the mic), and trust me—he earns his seat. He and I talk food freedom, telling diet culture to go pound sand, and finally learning how to feel unbothered by what other people think even if it’s your inner mean girl.

We cover:
👉 How to actually enjoy your workouts again (no more “no pain, no gain” BS)

👉 The truth about self-sabotage (spoiler: it’s wearing a perfectionism wearing a mask)

👉 Why your doctor might mean well… but isn’t giving you the full story

👉 What it really looks like to stop living on autopilot and start making actual changes

If you’ve been stuck in the “try harder” cycle but your body is like, “No ma’am, we’re tired”—this episode is for YOU.

Hit play to laugh, think, maybe cry (yep, we go there), and leave with a whole new lens on what it means to get healthy and feel amazing in your skin.
