Ever wonder if you’re actually overtraining… or just being dramatic? Or if your protein goals are realistic—or completely made up? In this solo episode, I’m answering all the juicy questions you sent in—and I’m not holding back.
We’re talking sore muscles, toe yoga (yes, really), my real-life workout split, how I handle cardio, and what to do when your period disappears but you still want to build muscle. No fluff. Just real talk.
I’m also breaking down overtraining symptoms that most people ignore, how I approach strength training in my 30s (and why I’m not chasing PRs right now), tips for getting in more protein without gagging on dry-ass chicken, the truth about body recomposition and irregular cycles, and why I give a shit about ankle mobility and barefoot shoes.
Whether you’re trying to lift heavier, feel better in your body, or just not feel wrecked after every workout, this one’s packed with reminders, mindset shifts, and practical stuff you can try this week.
Because training should support your life, not drain the hell out of you.
Let’s get into it.
