Instagram Q&A: The Hardest Part About Divorce, Period Update, Friendship Breakups & Body Composition Myths

In this solo Q&A episode, I’m answering your most-asked questions- from fitness and nutrition to motherhood, mindset, and all the real-life stuff in between. Whether you’re trying to make body composition changes from home workouts, navigating nutrition changes, or just looking for practical ways to stay consistent when life gets hectic, this one covers a lot! I share my personal take on creatine (and when to take it), alcohol, how I plan my days, my hair care routine post-gym, the low down on castor oil wraps, NAD benefits and a cycle/period update. I also open up about how I’ve navigated changes in friendships, handled the tougher sides of divorce, and what helped me most as a postpartum mom. If you’re in a season of rebuilding, rebalancing, or just looking for guidance that meets you where you’re at, this episode is for you! ____________________ Topics Discussed 00:00:00: Intro 00:00:54: Life updates 00:04:56: How to change body composition at home 00:08:36: Cycle/period update 00:09:36: Where to plan the day?
