2025/12/22

Social anxiety is not a personality flaw, it is your nervous system doing its job a little too loudly. In this episode, we reframe awkwardness and self-consciousness as signals of alert, not evidence that something is wrong with you. If holiday parties, crowded rooms, or feeling “on” leave you tense and overthinking, this conversation will help you understand what is actually happening in your body.

2025/12/15

In today’s episode, I’m talking honestly about body image and not from a place of perfection, but from my real everyday experience. We’ll unpack how constant exposure to food content, fitness trends, and curated lifestyles subtly shapes the way we think about our bodies. I share what intrusive thoughts around appearance can sound like and why they tend to show up when life slows down or feels uncertain. We talk about the arrival fallacy and the belief that once our body looks a certain way, we’ll

If you’ve ever been told your gut is “fine” but you still feel bloated, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck, this episode will change the way you look at your health.

Ep. 251 Hormone Health 101

Vanessa G Fitcast ·

2025/11/24

If your energy, mood, weight, or cycle feels off, your hormones are already trying to tell you why. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down something that feels confusing for so many women: hormones. Most of us only hear about hormones when something starts going wrong — our energy crashes, our cycles change, our thyroid acts up, or our weight stops responding the way it used to. And because it feels overwhelming, we try to fix the surface symptoms without ever understanding the deeper systems

If slowing down feels wrong but your body is begging for rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, I’m talking to the woman who has always been the go-hard achiever — the early workouts, the hustle, the I-don’t-need-rest mindset. But now your body feels like it’s pushing back, and slowing down feels uncomfortable or even scary. I’ve been there, and I want to help you make sense of what your body is trying to say. Instead of guessing or feeling guilty, I’m giving you a simple, practical

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I’m sharing one of the most important lessons I’ve learned as both a coach and a client: you can’t build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation. I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense

2025/10/13

What if the reason you’re bloated isn’t because you’re eating too much, but because you’re not eating enough? In this episode, we dive into the surprising truth about how eating more food, especially the right kinds in the right amounts, can actually reduce bloating, improve digestion, and help your body finally feel calm and regular again. For many women, undereating or intermittent fasting seems to help at first. You feel “lighter” and less puffy. But over time, that same strategy can backfire,

Have you ever felt like stress was just baked into your life? That no matter what you did, your job, your family, or your schedule would always keep you stuck in survival mode? I’ve been there. For years, I told myself, “I’ll always be stressed,” and it left me trapped in a cycle of burnout, resentment, and health struggles. What I’ve learned is that real healing, whether it’s from weight loss resistance, hormone imbalances, gut issues, or autoimmune conditions, can’t happen until the nervous

If live feels extremely heavy right now, you're not alone. I once had a conversation with a mentor around this topic about what to do when life is just heavy. Sometimes we’re weighed down because we aren’t managing our thoughts well. Sometimes it’s because we’re in environments that don’t serve us. But other times, life is just heavy and no amount of mindset work or environment shifts seem to fix it right away. In those moments, the best thing we can do is support ourselves until the heaviness

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of losing weight, regaining it, and then starting over again, you’re not alone. Today we’re unpacking yo-yo dieting. Why it happens, what it does to your body, and how to finally break free.
