Stronger Than Yesterday

This week, I’m joined by my friend Bella for a conversation we’ve literally been trying to have on the podcast for years! We’re diving into what it actually means to have high values and standards in your life—not the social media version, but the kind rooted in integrity, authenticity, growth, and knowing who you are. We talk about entrepreneurship, navigating friendships as you evolve, creating a circle that truly aligns with you, relationships, boundaries, and what it looks like to stop settling for people and situations that don’t match the life you’re building. This one feels like sitting down with two girlfriends for a real, unfiltered conversation, and I can’t wait for you to listen! 🤍-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @taylortrostfitNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

In this episode, I’m breaking down the five traits I see in women who don’t just lose weight, but actually keep it off long-term. We’re talking about why consistency will always beat extremes, how to build a “return to normal” reflex after vacations, weekends, or off days, why delayed gratification matters, and how to take ownership of your choices without beating yourself up. I also dive into one of the biggest shifts that happens with sustainable success: moving away from the identity of constantly being “on a diet” and instead becoming someone who simply takes care of herself. If you’re tired of the cycle of losing weight, gaining it back, and feeling like you always have to start over, this episode will help you rethink what lasting results actually look like.-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @taylortrostfitNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

I've realized that the biggest thing keeping most of us stuck isn't a lack of motivation—it's what we're avoiding.

Whether it's stepping on the scale, setting a boundary, asking for help, or finally investing in yourself, I'm sharing why avoidance only gives us temporary relief and how one small act of courage can completely change your direction.

In this episode, I’m diving into something so many women struggle with silently… people pleasing 💭✨From constantly overextending yourself to feeling guilty for resting or saying no, I’m sharing how these patterns often go way deeper than just “being nice.” I'm talking about why people pleasing is actually a survival response, how it disconnects us from ourselves, and the mindset shifts that helped me start choosing me again 🤍If you’ve ever felt exhausted from always putting everyone else first, this episode will definitely resonate with you 🫶🏼-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @taylortrostfitNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

In this episode, I’m having a real conversation about how exhausting it is to constantly feel like our bodies are supposed to change with whatever trend is popular online. From being ultra thin to “slim thick” to the clean girl aesthetic, women are constantly being told they need to look different to be worthy. I’m sharing why I think chasing trends keeps us disconnected from ourselves and why focusing on strength, confidence, energy, and longevity will always matter more. Because at the end of the day, strength never goes out of style. 💛💪-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @taylortrostfitNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I just need to be more consistent” or wondering why you keep starting strong and then falling off… this episode is for you.In today’s conversation, we’re diving into a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough: self-trust. Because the truth is, it’s not always about the perfect plan, the workouts, or the food — it’s about the promises you keep (or break) with yourself.Every time you say you’re going to do something and don’t follow through, it chips away at your confidence. Over time, that turns into the belief that you’re “just not consistent” — and that belief is what keeps you stuck.In this episode, we break down:Why self-sabotage isn’t a discipline problemHow breaking promises to yourself impacts your identityThe real reason you keep “starting over”Simple, practical ways to rebuild trust with yourselfWhy consistency (not perfection) is the key to lasting resultsThis is your reminder that you don’t need a new plan — you need a sustainable one you can actually stick to. And it starts with small, winnable promises that help you become someone you can rely on.If you’re ready to stop the cycle, rebuild your confidence, and finally feel in control again… this episode will hit home.-------------------------------------💬 Loved this episode?

And what do hormones really have to do with it?"I get this question a lot...In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most common concerns I hear from busy moms!If you feel like your body changed after having kids—like weight gain happens faster, your energy is lower, and fat loss feels harder than it used to—you’re not crazy.

In this episode of the Stronger Than Yesterday podcast, I’m getting real about something I’ve been coming to terms with lately — my complicated feelings about the wellness industry. From 20-step morning routines to endless “optimization” hacks, it can feel like self-improvement has turned into a competitive sport… and I’m not sure that’s actually making us happier.Today, I’m unpacking the pressure to do it all and sharing why I believe most busy women aren’t struggling because they’re lazy — they’re overloaded. We’ll talk about the difference between building a life that looks good and one that actually feels good, why slowing down can feel uncomfortable, and how “softness” can actually be the key to sustainability.I’m also sharing a simple mindset shift I love: instead of chasing a perfect life, let’s design a really good Tuesday!! Think small, repeatable habits that boost your energy, lower the pressure, and help you romanticize your everyday life.If you’ve ever felt behind, burned out, or like you’re not doing enough, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need to optimize harder — you might just need to release the pressure. 💛-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @taylortrostfitNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

In this episode of the Stronger Than Yesterday podcast, I’m getting real with you about something that might feel a little uncomfortable: you’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do — you’re stuck because you’re playing small.I break down the deeper reasons behind the cycle of starting over every Monday, from the fear of being seen to the dopamine hit of a fresh plan, and I walk you through the psychology and brain science that keep so many women stuck. This conversation goes way beyond weight loss — it’s about identity, confidence, and why waiting to live your life until you hit a certain number is holding you back.I’m also sharing the mindset shifts and simple, sustainable habits that help you finally break the cycle — like how to stop restarting, build real confidence, and step into the identity of a woman who truly takes care of herself.If you feel like you know what to do but keep finding yourself back at square one, this episode will challenge you, empower you, and remind you that your life isn’t on hold.-------------------------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @fitnfoodwithtaylorNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

What would I do differently if I had to lose 40 pounds all over again?In this honest and personal episode, I’m sharing the lessons I learned the hard way during my weight loss journey.From chasing perfection and extremes to finally building habits that actually last. My journey was messy, full of mistakes, and definitely not linear, but it taught me so much. My goal with this episode is to help you avoid the same pitfalls and focus on what truly matters.Inside, I’m breaking down the five things I would do differently if I were starting from day one:✨ I’d stop chasing perfection and focus on consistency💪 I’d prioritize strength training right away🍽️ I’d use food tracking as a neutral tool, not something emotional🏡 I’d create an environment that makes healthy choices easier🧠 I’d focus on building my identity and habits instead of chasing a numberI also open up about the mental and emotional side of my journey — the restriction, the setbacks, and the moment I realized confidence didn’t come from the scale, but from learning to trust myself.If you feel stuck in the start-over cycle or you’re ready to take a more sustainable approach to your health, this episode is for you.If this resonated with you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend or leave a rating and review — it helps the show reach more women who need to hear this message. 💛-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @fitnfoodwithtaylorNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

Things I Believe That Sound Like Red Flags (But Aren’t)This episode is a little spicy — and honestly, it might make you feel very seen. 😅Today I’m sharing my health and fitness beliefs that sound like red flags… but are actually rooted in lived experience, science, and a whole lot of unlearning — especially for millennial women who were handed the most unhinged wellness advice and told to figure it out.We’re talking about why:If your workouts don’t make daily life easier, they’re not workingWomen don’t need more motivation — they need more muscleBeing sore all the time isn’t impressive (it’s poor recovery)Cardio can’t fix what strength training wouldYour hormones probably aren’t “broken” — your lifestyle might beYou don’t have to love your body to take care of it“Toning” is just muscle (and no, you won’t accidentally get bulky)Your metabolism isn’t broken — it’s under-fueled and overstressedRest days are productiveHot girl walks are a vibe… but not a full fitness planTracking macros once might actually reduce anxietyWhat worked at 22 isn’t a lifelong strategyListening to your body requires knowing the difference between effort and painAesthetics and health are allowed to coexistIf this episode makes you a little defensive at times — that’s okay. Growth is uncomfortable. So are Bulgarian split squats. 😌And if it annoyed you just enough to sit with it? That probably means there’s something here for you.Share this with a friend who needs to hear it — or don’t. I’ll be over here lifting heavy either way. 💪-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @fitnfoodwithtaylorNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

In this episode of the Stronger Than Yesterday Podcast, I’m challenging the whole “new year, new me” mindset and inviting you into a more grounded, sustainable way of approaching personal growth.Instead of setting resolutions, I talk about why I prefer choosing a word of intention and how it can guide your decisions in your health, relationships, finances, and everyday life. I also share my word for 2026 — expansion — and what that means for me after a year of major change.From there, I dive into a truth that holds so many of us back: we’re not stuck because we’re confused — we’re stuck because we’re avoiding something uncomfortable. I break down why clarity doesn’t come before action, but after it, and how waiting to feel “ready” is often just fear in disguise.I share a personal story about facing an uncomfortable conversation with a close friend and how choosing to lean into that discomfort brought clarity, confidence, and deeper connection on the other side. It’s a real-life example of why doing the thing — even imperfectly — is often the breakthrough we’re looking for.This episode is for you if you feel overwhelmed by information, stuck in overthinking mode, or caught in the cycle of preparing without progressing — especially when it comes to your health and fitness journey.I’ll leave you with a simple but powerful challenge: identify the one thing you’ve been avoiding, shrink it down into a 10-minute action, and commit to doing it today. You don’t need to do it perfectly. You don’t need to do it publicly. You just need to do it honestly.If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this:You’re not stuck — you’re just standing still.Start before you’re ready. Clarity is waiting on the other side of the thing you’ve been avoiding.-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @fitnfoodwithtaylorNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with one of our long-time SSW clients, Stephanie, for an honest, powerful conversation about confidence, strength, and what really changes when you stop chasing “skinny” and start building a strong, capable body.Stephanie shares her journey of joining SSW almost two years ago after initially telling herself she could “do it on her own.” We talk openly about the mindset shift that happens when you allow yourself support, why community matters so much more than most women realize, and how lifting weights completely transformed not just her body — but her confidence, career, parenting, and daily life.We dive into:Letting go of diet culture, Weight Watchers, and scale obsessionWhy building muscle changed how she sees her body (and the number on the scale)Overcoming gym intimidation and stepping into confidenceHow strength training eliminated old aches and pains she thought were permanentThe unexpected ripple effects of fitness on work, relationships, and motherhoodWhy investing in coaching is about so much more than workouts and macrosThis episode is especially for the woman who feels hesitant, overwhelmed, or unsure if she’s “ready” — and for the woman who knows something needs to change but doesn’t want another short-term fix.If you’ve ever felt like you should be able to do it alone, this conversation might just change your perspective. 💪✨-------------------------------------Follow us on Instagram!Taylor: @fitnfoodwithtaylorNicole: @nicolerezzfitMarissah: @marissah.schulte.fitnessTeam page: @strongstartswithin------------------------------------Join our Free Facebook group!Fat Loss Secrets for Busy Women on the Go

Spoiler alert—that couldn’t be further from the truth.I share my own story of overtraining and burnout, and explain why true intensity isn’t about exhaustion—it’s about effectiveness. You’ll learn:The difference between “working hard” and training smartWhat progressive overload really means (and how to apply it)Key signs your workouts are working against your goalsHow to structure your training for fat loss, strength, and confidenceIf you’ve been stuck in the cycle of endless cardio or random workouts without seeing progress, this episode will help you shift from hustling harder to training smarter!!

So many of us have been told that confidence is waiting for us at our “goal weight.” That once we lose the pounds, then we’ll finally feel good in our bodies. But the truth? Confidence isn’t hiding in a number on the scale...it’s built in the choices you make every day, the boundaries you hold, and the trust you rebuild with yourself.In this episode of Stronger Than Yesterday, I'm getting real about why diet culture has left so many women tying their worth to their size and how to break free from that mindset!!!I'm sharing my personal story, client wins, and the daily habits that actually create lasting confidence—nourishing your body, lifting weights because you love it, resting when you need to, and keeping promises to yourself. ❤️If you’ve been waiting for the scale to validate you, this conversation will remind you: you are already enough. Confidence doesn’t come when you hit your goal weight; it starts within.

In this short and sweet mini-episode of Stronger Than Yesterday, I’m sharing what’s been on my heart lately as I approach the big 3-0... gratitude for the little things. ❤️It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to slow down, but those tiny moments: your morning coffee, a laugh with a friend, or sitting in the sunshine...are what truly make life beautiful.I’ll take you through a glimpse of my own morning routine (yes, complete with coffee, my pup Bentley, and my favorite egg chair!) and why it’s been a grounding reminder to be fully present!Then, I’ll leave you with a quick challenge to help you find joy in the small things today and shift your perspective toward gratitude.If you’ve been feeling stuck in the motions, this episode is your five-minute reminder to pause, breathe, and soak up life’s simple joys. 🥰
