212. Feeling Thrown Off
Wed Feb 04 2026
These past few weeks have been rough.
Between Bali Belly, a histamine flare during ovulation, travel, and taking care of a stray kitten that ultimately didn’t make it, I felt completely thrown off… physically, mentally, and emotionally. This episode is a very real story time about what life actually looked like during that stretch and why I’m sharing it.
What surprised me most wasn’t the chaos, but what didn’t fall apart. Even with no energy, skipped grocery runs, and zero mental bandwidth, when I came up for air I realized… I maintained my nutrition and my shape without tracking or forcing discipline. Not because I was “on it,” but because I had simple systems, backup options, and an identity that held when everything else felt shaky.
In this episode, I break down what used to happen in the same scenarios vs. how I manage it now, and how you can build that same foundation so off weeks don’t turn into full resets.
This also ties directly into Build Your Baseline, my 3-week nutrition foundations program for women who lift and want their nutrition to run on autopilot. Enrollment is open now, and we start February 9th. Details are in the show notes.
