In this powerful first guest interview on Realistically Consistent, Kayla shares her honest story of feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure if she could commit to anything for herself at just 3 months postpartum— and how she slowly built consistency without falling into the all-or-nothing trap.

We talk about:

• Postpartum fitness when you’re barely sleeping
• Letting go of perfection and embracing flexibility
• Building routines with young kids at home
• Giving yourself grace without quitting
• Regaining energy and confidence as a mom
• Why mindset shifts matter more than quick weight loss
• How accountability and support create lasting change

Kayla didn’t just lose weight.
She gained strength, confidence, energy — and the ability to keep up with her kids without feeling run down.

If you’re a mom who feels like:

• “I don’t have time.”
• “Life is too chaotic right now.”
• “Maybe later…”
• “If I can’t do it perfectly, why start?”

This episode is your reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions to begin.

You need small steps.
You need support.
You need grace — without giving up.

If you’ve been thinking about trying trends like vibration plates, fasting, 75 Hard, wall Pilates, cold plunges, or fad diets—and found yourself wondering “Do these actually work?”—this episode is for you.

In this episode of Realistically Consistent, we’re having a real conversation about health trends, quick fixes, and why so many women feel stuck in the cycle of starting over every few weeks.

I break down:

• Whether popular fitness and nutrition trends actually work
• Why these methods can help some people

If you’re a mom who constantly feels exhausted — too tired to work out, too tired to meal plan, too tired to focus on yourself — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Realistically Consistent, we’re talking honestly about mom tired. Not just being tired, but the different types of exhaustion that show up in motherhood — and how one of them is quietly keeping you stuck in survival mode.

We’ll break down:

• Why being tired is unavoidable as a mom (and why fighting that reality keeps you stuck)
• The difference between “survival tired” and “motivated but tired”
• How urgency, mindset, and your “why” impact your energy more than you think and how to shift them to work for you
• Why doing the hard thing while tired is often what creates more energy
• What’s actually in your control when sleep, kids, and schedules aren’t

I also share practical mindset shifts, realistic routines, and simple ways to take control of your mornings, evenings, fueling, and environment — without expecting perfection or unrealistic motivation.

If you’re tired of feeling tired… but also tired of feeling stuck, this episode will help you reframe exhaustion, stop using it as a roadblock, and start moving forward anyway.

✨ And if you’re ready for personalized support, I share details about my 1:1 coaching program and the limited spots currently available.

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I eat healthy, but…” fill in the blank with “I’m not losing weight,” “I’m exhausted,” or “nothing is changing,” this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Realistically Consistent, we’re breaking down why eating clean isn’t always enough — and how common daily habits like skipping meals, under-fueling, blood sugar spikes, and unbalanced snacks can actually work against your metabolism, even when your food choices are “healthy.”

I walk you through a very realistic day that I see over and over again with busy moms — from skipped breakfasts and snacky lunches to nighttime cravings — and explain:

• Why this pattern leads to low energy, cravings, and stalled progress
• How blood sugar and insulin impact fat loss
• Why protein timing matters just as much as protein intake
• How to structure your meals in a way that actually supports your metabolism
• Where to start without overhauling your entire life

If January flew by and you’re feeling frustrated, stuck, or confused about why your effort isn’t paying off, this episode will give you clarity, relief, and a realistic place to start.

✨ Plus, I share simple, doable changes you can implement starting with breakfast — because one small shift can change the entire trajectory of your day.

Are you constantly telling yourself what you should be doing—and then feeling guilty when you don’t follow through?

In today’s episode of Realistically Consistent, we’re breaking down one tiny word that could be completely sabotaging your consistency, confidence, and progress: “should.”

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I should be working out more”
• “I should be drinking more water”
• “I shouldn’t have eaten that”
• “I should be more disciplined”

This episode is for you.

I’m walking you through why ‘should’ thinking keeps you stuck, how it trains your brain to procrastinate and feel guilty, and—most importantly—what to say and do instead so you can actually follow through on your habits without perfection, pressure, or burnout.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why saying “I should” kills confidence and consistency
• How to rewire your mindset from guilt to follow-through
• The simple language shift that helps you take immediate action

Consistency doesn’t come from discipline or willpower—it comes from confidence. And confidence starts with the way you talk to yourself.

Consistency Over Perfection: How You Can Still Make Progress Without a Perfect Plan.

If you feel like you’re never able to follow a fitness or nutrition plan perfectly—this episode is for you.

So many moms believe that if they miss a workout, overindulge, or fall off track even a little, they’ve failed. But the truth is, you're doing better than you give yourself credit for — for yourself AND in motherhood.

• Why missing workouts or meals doesn’t erase your progress
• How to stop “starting over” and build sustainable lifestyle changes
• The power of small, consistent habits that actually stick

This is your reminder that progress doesn’t come from extreme challenges or rigid routines—it comes from learning how to pivot, adapt, and keep showing up for yourself in small ways, even when life gets messy.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, behind, or like you’re “doing it wrong,” this episode will help you reframe your mindset and finally feel confident in a plan that fits your real life.

✨ You’re not failing—you’re learning how to make this work for you.
