EPISODE 88:

The Sacrifices I Had To Make To Grow My Business (with Woman Owned)

SHOW NOTES

Here’s the deal: most of us—especially women—have been raised to believe that more is better. More offers, more content, more hustle. But I’ve learned firsthand that when it comes to scaling a business, less is often the power move.

In this interview I did with Woman Owned, I’m sharing the real talk on how cutting back, simplifying, and even letting go of things I loved in my business led to massive growth. I’m talking about the exact eliminations and scale-backs I’ve made over the years that helped me go from teaching fitness classes for 100 bucks a pop to running a million-dollar online health empire.

I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts, the hard decisions, and the “subtraction strategy” that helped me make quantum leaps in my business—and my life.

If you’re feeling stuck or stretched thin, this episode might be your permission slip to do less—and grow more.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

The #1 skill I had to master to build my business.
How ditching a thriving PT business helped me 10x my revenue.
Why narrowing my niche felt like a loss—but changed everything.
How staying tight with past clients and employers paid off.
Why I stepped back from client work to lead a powerhouse team.

If you are a woman entrepreneur, I highly recommend Eleanor’s show. And if you are also ready to make change, let go of your old life to create a new one…join us with the Masters of Fitness Awesomeness! What do you have to lose? Let me know on Insta!

Episode 87: Digital Detox: Declutter Your Phone, Declutter Your Life

EPISODE 87:

Digital Detox: Declutter Your Phone, Declutter Your Life

SHOW NOTES

You might remember today’s guest, Amanda Jefferson, a digital clutter expert. I hired her a while back to tackle my own digital chaos, and let me tell you, it was a game changer.

Amanda’s here to help us navigate our digital lives in today’s fast-paced world, encouraging us to get intentional about our digital spaces.

The digital landscape can feel overwhelming, like being a goalie in a game with a score of 1,000 to 1—so how do you reclaim control?

Amanda suggests apps like CleanerKit to declutter your photo library (seriously, you don’t need 50 photos of your kid covered in spaghetti sauce from last night).

She also recommends gamifying digital organization—set a timer for a power hour, and once you’re in the zone, you’ll be amazed at how quickly it all gets done.

What about the constant flood of media at our fingertips? It can feel like a horror show. Amanda suggests culling your feeds—if certain news sources or people make you feel anxious or terrible, unfollow them. Your peace of mind is worth it!

We all know how tempting it is to reach for our phones constantly, and yes, we’ve all seen those 8-hour screen time notifications. But Amanda reminds us: not all screen time is bad. It’s not about avoiding your phone altogether; it’s about finding ways to control it rather than letting it control you.

Towards the end of the episode, we share some of our favorite apps and digital tools that make the most of the digital age—like Day 1 Journaling, WhatsApp, the iPhone Reminders app, and ChatGPT.

The best part? You can start improving your digital space today. What’s driving you crazy? Identify it, set a timer, and start taking action!

WHAT’S INSIDE:

Navigating your digital life in today's world.
What apps you need to delete NOW
A Type A, organization lovers dream
Apps for improving your digital experience.

We often don’t realize how much digital clutter piles up and weighs us down. Try some of Amanda’s tips—whether it’s reevaluating your social feeds or finally deleting those duplicate photos. What’s been driving you crazy? It’s time to let it go! Let me know on Insta!

Episode 86: Trick Yourself Into Healthy Habits With Interior Design with Melanie Zaelich

EPISODE 86:

Trick Yourself Into Healthy Habits With Interior Design with Melanie Zaelich

SHOW NOTES

Melanie Zaelich of Happy Place Interiors knows your home isn’t just where you live—it’s shaping your habits, health, and happiness.

Healthy habits don’t stop at the kitchen. Hide reminders inside cabinets, switch to smaller plates, and make movement unavoidable—store things higher, put those stairs to work, and keep music within reach for instant motivation. Lightweight furniture? Perfect for clearing space for workouts or dance parties.

The more convenient life gets, the less we move.

One of the biggest home mistakes? Letting clutter take over—because it’s not just a physical mess, it’s a mental drain. Empty walls might seem minimal, but too bare can feel unfinished. And color? It sets the mood. Keep bedrooms restful, workout spaces energetic, and save bold reds for a statement outfit, not your kitchen walls.

Let tech work for you. Swap harsh overhead lights for smart bulbs and lamps to protect your circadian rhythm. And don’t let clutter creep back—keep a donation bin handy so there’s always an easy exit strategy (clutter in, clutter out).

Want a kitchen that supports healthy habits? Use clear glass containers for effortless meal prep, add an anti-fatigue mat to keep your body happy, and bring in plants or candles to create a space that feels as good as it looks.

Biggest trend right now? Biophilic design—bringing nature indoors for clarity and calm. No green thumb? No problem. Snake plants and Zanzibar gems thrive on neglect.

Simple changes, big impact. When your space feels good, you feel good.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

How to inconvenience yourself into a home workout.
Little hacks to increase healthy habits.
The biggest mistake you're making in your home design.
The newest home trend: Biophilic Design.

This episode was packed with hacks and tips to optimize your home to increase healthy habits and keep it aesthetically pleasing. I didn’t even get a chance to tell Melanie all her tips I've put to work since our last chat (episode 22). So, what are you doing in YOUR home to facilitate healthy living? Let me know on Insta!

Episode 85: Solution-Focused Therapy, Screen Time, And Saving The World with Elliott Connie

EPISODE 85:

Solution-Focused Therapy, Screen Time, And Saving The World with Elliott Connie

SHOW NOTES

Hey listeners, today’s episode comes with a bonus—I accidentally turned an interview into a therapy session.

Elliott Connie breaks down Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a fast, outcome-driven approach to change. It’s not about problems; it’s about moving forward—whether in life, fitness, or anything else.

Then we hit a common parenting dilemma: Is screen time really the enemy? Elliott flips the script—what matters isn’t less screen time but more family connection, dinner table talks, and real-world experiences (woah, maybe focusing on the solution is really the key here).

Positive thinking and the law of attraction? Not magic, not science. They boost mood but won’t change your life. Real change comes from defining your goals and making choices that align with them.

Are your daily actions moving you forward or just feeding short-term gratification? Fall in love with the version of you that’s on track. Success isn’t about feeling good now—it’s about staying the course.

Elliott says winners keep their eye on the prize, even in setbacks. The real challenge isn’t morning motivation—it’s pushing through when you’re drained.

And then, the bigger picture. With Donald Trump newly inaugurated in the USA, Elliott drops this: “This is not the country I thought it was.” When did hate become so acceptable? His solution: honor people with love and respect.

As you tune out, ask yourself, What outcome do you want? What difference would it make? Quitting is easy. Success means choosing discomfort over and over again. Get addicted to outcomes.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

What is Solution-Focused Therapy?
Is screen time the problem we think it is?
How to get addicted to outcomes?
Getting through dark times in the world.

You might have sensed my hesitation when it came to that conversation about screen time…I need to deep dive into my feelings about this, but it is changing something in me—my reaction to information and what I wanna do with it. So what are you going to do about this information? Ready to get focused on your solution and achieve the outcome you’re after? Let me know on Insta!

EPISODE 84:

From Overweight And Desperate To A Fitness Expert (My Story)

SHOW NOTES

Enjoy this incredible conversation from the Results Club Podcast, where I sat down to talk about all things health, mindset, and the real secret to lasting transformation.

Spoiler alert: it’s not about grinding harder or obsessing over the scale.

It’s about showing up for yourself in a way that actually works for your life.

Motivation is total BS—but there’s something else that actually gets results.

There are sneaky habits holding you back, and I’ll show you how to flip the script.

You can build a body and mindset you love without guilt or burnout.

Taking messy action is key, because waiting for the “perfect” time is a waste of time.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, emotional eating, or feeling like you just can’t stick to a healthy routine, this episode is for you.

My goal? To help you feel strong, confident, and well… healthy as F*CK—without making yourself miserable in the process.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

My personal story: Giving perfectionism the finger.
Judgement-free advice on how to feel your best.
Navigating self-doubt, emotional eating, and body image in the social media age.
