Gurl Gone Green with Suzi Swope

Today's episode is a really special one because it's the final episode of Season 2. As we come to the end of the year, I didn't want to rush straight into goals, resolutions, or pressure about what's next. Instead, I wanted to pause with you and talk about how to end the year well, and how to gently prepare for the year ahead in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and realistic. This episode isn't about doing more or fixing yourself. It's about reflection, clarity, and giving yourself permission to move forward with grace. So wherever you are right now driving, folding laundry, out on a walk, or sitting quietly, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath. Download My Microplastic Guide Here.

Welcome back to the Gurl Gone Green Podcast. Today's episode is such a good one, especially if you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or burnt out by fitness and dieting. For years, I thought eating less and doing more cardio was the answer. I didn't understand why I felt puffy, tired, inflamed, or why my body wasn't responding the way I wanted it to- especially as I got older and after having kids. In this episode, I'm sitting down with my Faster Way coach Loren Mattingly to talk about what actually works for real-life women: fueling your body with enough protein, lifting weights, training smarter, not harder and why under-eating can actually work against you. We're breaking down fat loss, muscle building, metabolism, and how to approach fitness in a way that supports your hormones, your energy, and your lifestyle, without extremes or perfection. If you're ready to feel strong, confident, and energized again, this conversation is for you. Let's get into it. Meet My Faster Way Coach:  Loren Mattingly is a leading FASTer Way to Fat Loss coach, an entrepreneur, and transformational leader helping women over 35 take back control of their health, hormones, and happiness. Over the past 8 years, Loren has guided thousands of women to sustainable fat loss through strategic nutrition, strength training, and hormone balance.

A busy mom of three boys, Loren is passionate about showing women that you can build a strong body, successful business, and fulfilling life—without burnout or extremes. Her story and message have inspired countless women to pursue progress over perfection and to make lasting change from the inside out. *Follow Loren Mattingly on Instagram *Sign up with Loren as your Faster Way Coach *Check out Loren Mattingly's Website Download My Microplastic Guide Here.

This is one of those conversations that reminds us how deeply connected our choices, our health, and our identity can be.

Hey friends, welcome back to the Gurl Gone Green podcast. I'm so glad you're here. Today we're tackling something I know so many women feel, especially those of us trying to live cleaner, make better choices, and create healthier homes. It's this idea that clean living has to be all-or-nothing. Like if you can't do it 100%, then why even bother? And honestly, that mindset keeps so many people stuck. It makes them feel like if they slip up once, or make a choice that isn't the cleanest, then they might as well throw the whole thing out the window.

Hey friend, welcome back to the Gurl Gone Green Podcast! With the holidays in full swing, I wanted to chat about something that's everywhere right now- sugar. From pumpkin pie to Christmas cookies, peppermint mochas to all the little "just one bite" moments, it adds up fast. And here's the thing: I'm not anti-sugar. I love a good Christmas treat. But I also know how it feels when I've overdone it- the fatigue, the cravings, the irritability, and that crash that makes you feel like you need another coffee just to survive the day. So today, I want to share how I approach sugar during the holidays- in a way that's realistic, guilt-free, and helps you keep your energy and hormones balanced.
