Couch →Chips →Repeat (until she didn't) with Tara Bohle

SHOW NOTES

You know that moment when you catch your reflection in the TV at 10 p.m., half a bag of chips deep, and think, “Is this… it?” That was Tara Bohle. Homeschooling three kids, caring for a baby, and stuck in that endless loop of exhaustion and guilt—couch, chips, repeat. Until one random scroll changed everything.

In this episode, I chat with Tara about what it really looks like to rebuild your habits from the ground up when you’ve got zero energy and even less time. We talk about the exact moment that flipped her switch (spoiler: it involved a Facebook ad and a serious “enough is enough” moment), how she found herself again after years of putting everyone else first, and how she’s been rocking her health and energy ever since, without the all-or-nothing bullshit.

This isn’t one of those “and then I lost 40 pounds in two weeks” stories. It’s a real woman talking about what happens when you decide you’re done feeling like crap and start showing up for yourself, even if it’s just by going to bed early and hiding the chips in the garage. Tara is funny, honest, and proof that transformation doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from one badass decision at a time.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t have time,” or caught yourself saying, “I’ll start Monday,” you need this episode. Because Tara didn’t wait for the perfect time, she made it.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • The single “couch moment” that sparked Tara’s transformation
  • How she built healthy habits while homeschooling three kids and caring for a baby
  • The mindset shift that ended her guilt-shame-start-over cycle for good
  • Why letting go of “all or nothing” thinking might be the most freeing thing you’ll ever do

What’s keeping you on the couch right now? The chips, the exhaustion, or that sneaky voice saying you’ll start tomorrow? Look, you can totally change your life without flipping it upside down. I want to hear your story. What’s your “enough is enough” moment? DM me on Instagram and let’s talk about it.

How To Get Motivated With Jordan Syatt

SHOW NOTES

Okay, real talk…have you ever had that "screw it, I messed up so I might as well quit" moment with your fitness goals? Yeah, me too. And so has Jordan Syatt, my guest on today’s episode of Goals, Grit & Some Woo Woo Shit. Jordan’s one of the realest, no-BS voices in the fitness world—he’s trained Gary Vee, competed as a powerlifter, and is currently parenting two toddlers while running his business and still finding time to deadlift and draw penises on whiteboards (for educational purposes, obviously).

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the real reason people don’t stick with their fitness goals. Spoiler alert: it’s not seed oils. It’s not the government. It’s not even your metabolism. It’s your mindset…and Jordan calls us out in the best possible way.

We also unpack how fear can actually be a super underrated motivator. I even pushed back on this at first… until I realized I’ve literally written an exercise in my book that’s all about visualizing your worst-case scenario to spark change. Touché, Jordan.

We also talk about

  • Why you don’t need to love exercise (or be perfect at it!) to do it anyway
  • How the menopause “wellness” industry is profiting off your confusion
  • The real difference between training for health vs. training for a six-pack
  • The bullshit of “your body is your business card” and how we can be honest about body fluctuations, even in the spotlight

And honestly? This convo made me want to throw my kid in the air (safely), get some fresh air, and re-evaluate the fitness fear-based stories I still carry.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • The single biggest mindset block that sabotages most people’s health goals
  • How fear can kickstart motivation (and why that’s not a bad thing!)
  • Why the menopause fitness industry is full of expensive nonsense
  • The difference between training for health and chasing an Instagram body

So tell me—what’s been keeping you stuck lately?

Is it that all-or-nothing mindset? Perfectionism in disguise? Waiting to “want to” move your body? You’re not alone…and this episode might be the kick you need. Come tell me what resonated most over on Instagram. I’m always down to talk brain rewiring and half-assed action.
