• The Last Episode: New Podcast: Launching Forward
    Jul 26 2023
    I know it’s been a long time since I last published an episode of Sweating for the Wedding (back in 2020!), but I’m back! Unfortunately, not for very long. I’m here to announce that the Sweating for the Wedding podcast is retiring. I loved helping brides reach their nutrition and fitness goals (and don’t worry, I still will!), but now I’m focusing on a new endeavor, the Launching Forward podcast.

    On the Launching Forward podcast, I’ll talk about more than just weddings (but you can be sure those topics will be touched on!). I’ll discuss nutrition, wellness, mathematics, entrepreneurship, being a working mom, and so much more.

    However, you deserve an explanation of why I’m retiring Sweating for the Wedding.

    Thank you for your support of the Sweating for the Wedding podcast. It means the world to me that you spent time with me learning how to meet your wellness goals for your wedding. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. If you’d like to keep up with my new podcast, you can listen here on Spotify or here on Apple Podcasts- I hope to see you there!

    Let’s keep in touch: Below is where you can find me and stay connected.
