Stronger Than Yesterday

Why do so many high-performing women feel completely in control in every area of life… except food? In this episode, I’m diving into the deeper reason behind the all-or-nothing cycle so many women experience with dieting, overeating, and guilt. I share why this isn’t a discipline problem, how perfectionism keeps us stuck, and what actually creates lasting balance with food, fitness, and fat loss. If you’ve ever felt exhausted trying to “be good” all the time, this episode is for 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

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?

If you’ve been doing everything right—eating healthy, working out, staying consistent—but still not seeing the results you want… this episode is for you.In this episode of Stronger Than Yesterday, I’m breaking down the four key shifts I believe every high-performing millennial woman needs to make to lose weight—and actually keep it off for good.After years of struggling with dieting, inconsistency, and feeling like a failure, I realized something powerful: it’s not you—it’s the diet culture that sets you up to fail. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to help women break free from that cycle. Over the past several years, my team and I have coached 650+ women to do exactly that—and we’re just getting started.Inside this episode, I’m sharing:Why your metabolism isn’t broken—but is likely under-fueled and overstressedThe truth about carbs, calories, and why eating more might be the missing pieceHow I approach nutrition in a balanced, sustainable way (no restriction required)What a realistic fitness routine actually looks like for a busy lifeWhy slowing down and regulating your nervous system is a game-changer for fat lossThis episode is your reminder to stop spinning your wheels and start working with your body—not against it.If you’re ready to feel confident, energized, and strong in your body again—without extreme diets or burnout—press play. 😉-------------------------------------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

"Did my metabolism actually break after having kids? 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. But the truth is, your metabolism probably isn’t broken.I’m breaking down what’s actually happening in your body during the busy season of motherhood and why things can feel so different postpartum. We’ll talk about how lifestyle factors like chronic stress, lack of sleep, inconsistent eating, and muscle loss can impact hormones like cortisol, insulin, and thyroid function—and why your body may simply be responding to the environment it’s living in.The good news?

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

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 episode, I’m diving into a topic that’s been getting a lot of buzz lately—sex hormones and how they impact fat loss, energy, cravings, and mood.

The phrase "eat less and move more" oversimplifies the complexities of fat loss It ignores factors like metabolism, hormones, sleep, stress, and genetics!! Which in my opinion, are the MOST important things to focus on 👀 Often we find that this saying encourages unsustainable restriction…Overlooking the importance of nutrient quality, and fails to address the emotional and psychological aspects of eating and exercise.
