Costco Tramp Stamp BRUNCH

In this episode, I dive into one of the most common challenges ambitious parents face: neglecting their own health while climbing the career ladder.

We’ll explore why so many working professionals and parents in leadership roles sacrifice their well-being in pursuit of success, and how that mindset often backfires. You’ll learn why putting your health first isn’t selfish, it’s strategic, and how simple, sustainable habits can make you a stronger leader, parent, and professional.

I also share actionable strategies you can start today, like reframing health as an asset, ditching the all-or-nothing mindset, and using your business skills to create better systems for your personal wellness.

If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll focus on my health when things slow down,” this episode is your reminder that health is how you get there, not what comes after.

In this episode, I sit down with my long-time client Jeff Rodgers, who has completely transformed his life and body over the past four years.

You'll hear:

• How Jeff lost over 100 pounds without giving up his favorite foods

• The mindset shift that helped him overcome gym intimidation and stay consistent

• Why calorie cycling and flexibility made healthy eating finally click

• How strength training reshaped his body and boosted his energy

This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever struggled with weight loss, motivation, or feeling out of place in the gym! Jeff’s story is a powerful example that no matter how busy life gets, you can build a lifestyle that works — and sustain it for good.
