Everyone says summer is the "slow season" for coaches.

We're going to gently push back on that.

Because here's what actually happens... you unplug in July, tell yourself you'll deal with it in the fall, and then mid-September hits. That second New Year energy kicks in, everyone's suddenly looking for a coach and a program and a plan, and you're the one scrambling.

Meanwhile, the coaches who look like overnight successes in September? They weren't luckier than you. They were just doing three specific things in July and August that you weren't.

In this episode, we're breaking down those three things. And no, none of it means giving up your cottage weekends. This isn't about hustling through your summer. It's about being intentional with the quiet so it works FOR you.

We also get into the stuff most coaches don't love hearing. Why fully unplugging can quietly cost you the clients you already have. What happens when leads stop coming in, even for a few weeks. And the one line from a mentor that completely reframes where your current results actually came from.

We're not listing the three things here. Because knowing WHAT to do matters way less than understanding WHY it works.

Press play. Then ask yourself the question we leave you with: what is your future self going to thank you for six months from now?

Almost 18 years. 8 figures. Same two best friends who met in science class at 14.

So how do you actually build a business that big... and then KEEP it that long without burning it (or your friendship) to the ground?

In this episode, Laura and Amanda pull back the curtain on something they don't usually talk about out loud: the 4 things they chose to believe. Not skills. Not strategy. Beliefs. The quiet, foundational stuff they come back to when things get rocky (and real talk, it's gotten rocky).

They get into the stuff most people leave out of the highlight reel. A lawsuit that nearly took everything. A deal they were handed on national TV... and walked away from. The moments they each thought, "I don't know if I want to do this anymore."

And underneath all of it? Four beliefs that changed everything.

We're not listing them here. Because reading them in a caption isn't the same as hearing WHY they matter and how they actually play out when your back's against the wall.

Press play. Then ask yourself the question they leave you with: what are YOU choosing to believe?

What if your next breakthrough didn't come from another meal plan, workout program, or health challenge?

What if it came from asking yourself a better question?

In this reflective solo episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, Amanda shares five powerful questions that have the potential to completely shift the way you think about your health, habits, goals, and personal growth.

After coaching thousands of women over the years, one thing has become clear: lasting transformation doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from developing the self-awareness to ask the right questions.

In this episode, you'll explore:

• What you're really hoping your health goals will give you

• Why perfectionism may be keeping you stuck

• The habits that are creating your current reality

• How to start thinking like the healthiest version of yourself

• Whether your current approach to health is actually sustainable

Whether you're on your own wellness journey, an aspiring coach, or someone who simply wants to create more lasting change in your life, this episode will encourage you to slow down, reflect, and look at your health from a completely different perspective.

Grab a journal, take a walk, or simply listen with an open mind—these questions might reveal more than you expect.

And if you're passionate about helping others create sustainable transformation through nutrition, mindset, and behavior change, our Holistic Weight Loss Coach Certification is now open for enrollment.

Thank you for listening, and remember: sometimes the most powerful changes begin with a single question.

Let's have some real talk. 👀

Coaches are NOT being replaced by AI, GLP-1 medications, or the latest health apps.

Generic coaches are.

And in this episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, Laura and Amanda are breaking down exactly what separates the coaches who will always have clients, always stay relevant, and always be able to adapt — from the ones who are quietly getting left behind.

Because here's the thing… if you're handing your clients a meal plan and calling it coaching, that's not coaching. And deep down, you probably already know it.

You'll hear us break down:

Why the coaching industry is shifting fast — and what it means for YOUR business right now
The real reason most coaches aren't getting their clients results (this one might sting a little, but you need to hear it)
The difference between giving someone a roadmap and actually sitting in the passenger seat with them — and why it changes everything
The 4 B's of holistic weight loss coaching — Body, Brain, Behavior, and Business — and why mastering all four makes you completely untouchable in this industry
Why GLP-1s, AI, and apps are NOT your competition (and how to coach alongside them instead of fearing them)
What we're covering inside Coach Camp, May 27–29 — and why you need to block your calendar NOW 👇

This is the conversation the industry needs to have. Whether you're an established coach who wants to level up, or someone who's just starting out and wants to do it RIGHT — this episode is for you.

Press play. This one's a banger. 💛

So many people believe confidence is something you magically wake up with one day.

That one day you’ll finally feel:

• ready

• fearless

• certain

• qualified

• confident enough to begin

But what if confidence actually comes after action… not before it?

In this episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, Laura and Amanda break down one of the biggest myths around confidence and why waiting to “feel ready” is often the exact thing keeping people stuck.

We talk about:

• why confidence is built — not born

• how action creates self-belief

• why fear and confidence can exist at the same time

• the hidden reason people stay stuck in overthinking

• how to start building self-trust right now

• practical mindset shifts to stop holding yourself back

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect moment” to start something important in your life, business, health journey, or personal growth… this episode is for you.

Because confidence is not something you find.

It’s something you build.

And honestly, one of the biggest confidence-building moments in life is deciding to finally take action on something that’s been calling you for a long time.

If you’ve been thinking about stepping into the health and coaching space, helping women transform their lives, or turning your passion for wellness into meaningful work, our Holistic Weight Loss Coach Certification begins June 29th.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin.

You simply need to be willing to start.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, resistant, or just straight-up confused about AI… this episode is for you. 🎙️

Laura and Amanda are getting REAL in this one — sharing exactly how they're using AI inside their coaching business right now, why they think it's the biggest opportunity health coaches have seen in years, and the mindset shift that changes everything.

And no, it's not about being tech-savvy. It's not about keeping up with every new platform. And it's definitely not about doing more.

You'll hear us break down:

The 3 buckets Laura uses to decide what's actually worth her time with AI — and how this simple filter cuts through the overwhelm instantly
Why the thought of learning AI is usually WAY more stressful than actually doing it (the bandwidth drain is REAL, and we talk about it)
The mindset shift that separates coaches who are growing with AI from coaches who are falling behind — and it has nothing to do with being "tech-savvy"
How we're using AI inside our programs and business RIGHT NOW, including the tools we've built for our holistic menopause coaches and weight loss coaches
Why this moment in time is actually the biggest opportunity we've ever seen for health coaches who are willing to show up and learn

How many times have you said to yourself…

“Monday I’m starting again.”

New plan.

New diet.

New rules.

New motivation.

If that cycle feels familiar, this episode is for you.

In this episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, we break down why so many women don’t need another diet — they need a new strategy built for real life.

After coaching thousands of women through health and weight loss transformations, we’ve seen firsthand that lasting results rarely come from more restriction. They come from the right habits, mindset shifts, support, and a plan that works beyond perfect conditions.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why most diets fail smart, motivated women

• What we’ve learned coaching thousands of women

• Why mindset and identity matter more than motivation

• The role stress, hormones, and real life play in results

• What women actually need instead of another reset

• How to build sustainable habits that last

If you’ve ever felt frustrated starting over again and again, this episode will help you shift your perspective and create a more supportive path forward.

And if you feel called to help other women do the same, our Holistic Weight Loss Coach Certification begins Monday.

Inside the program, we teach you how to coach women through real transformation using nutrition, mindset, behavior change, and holistic strategies that work.

What if the reason your results aren't sticking has nothing to do with your plan — and everything to do with what you skipped before you started it? Most of us are wired to take action. Add a new strategy. Try a new protocol. Push harder. But action without awareness is just noise — and it's exactly why so many people stay stuck despite doing all the things.

In this episode, we're breaking down why "adding more" is the trap most people never see coming, the real reason cookie-cutter plans fail, and the simple audit framework that finally shows you where you're actually starting from. Whether you're helping clients with weight loss or building your own coaching business, this one will shift how you see everything.

Hit play — you won't want to skip this one.

There is more nutrition advice online than ever before.

Cut carbs.

Snack every few hours.

Drink smoothies.

Eat clean.

And while a lot of this advice sounds healthy… some of it may actually be doing the opposite of what people hope — contributing to weight gain instead of weight loss.

In this episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, Laura and Amanda break down five common “healthy” nutrition habits that can backfire and prevent people from reaching their goals.

You’ll learn:

• Why simply “eating healthy foods” can still lead to weight gain

• The truth about snacking every few hours

• Why cutting carbs completely often backfires

• The hidden calorie trap in smoothies

• Why “clean eating” doesn’t mean unlimited eating

Most importantly, we share the simple nutrition habits that actually create sustainable results.

Understanding these common nutrition myths is one of the key things we teach inside our Holistic Weight Loss Coach Certification, where we train coaches how to help clients break free from confusing diet advice and build sustainable weight loss strategies that actually work.

Our next certification program starts April 20th, and enrollment is now open.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve tried every diet under the sun and nothing seems to stick… you’re not alone.

After years of dieting, many women stop trusting the process — and eventually stop trusting their own body.

In this episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, Laura and Amanda break down why years of dieting can actually disconnect us from our body’s natural signals and make it harder to stay consistent with healthy habits.

You’ll learn:

• Why dieting creates a cycle of hope and disappointment

• The psychological effects of years of restrictive eating

• How dieting disconnects people from hunger and fullness signals

• Why the scale often becomes the only measure of success

• Simple ways to rebuild trust with your body and your habits

Understanding this cycle is incredibly important for anyone who wants to support women with sustainable weight loss and behavior change.

That’s exactly why we created the Holistic Weight Loss Coach Certification, where we teach coaches how to help clients break free from the dieting cycle and build lasting habits that actually work.

Our next program starts April 20th, and registration is now open.

In this episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, Amanda sits down with Dr. Mark Sherwood, co-founder of the Functional Medical Institute, to unpack what’s really behind today’s chronic disease epidemic — and why so much of it is self-imposed, choice-driven, and reversible with the right support.

Why dieting keeps people stuck (and what to focus on instead)
The 4 foundations Dr. Mark teaches first: nutrition, movement, detoxing your inputs, and sleep
The missing link most people ignore: your inner dialogue + belief system
A simple mindset shift that can change your health journey immediately

Everyone’s buying weighted vests, walking pads, and viral protein-rich products — but do they actually work… or is it just hype?

Here’s what we cover:

• Are weighted vests actually worth it?

When we first became coaches, we truly believed weight loss was about one thing: the perfect plan.

Give people the right foods, the right workouts, the right routine—and the results would follow. Right?

But as we started coaching more women, we noticed something that completely stopped us in our tracks:

Women were doing everything right—and still not getting the results they wanted.

Worse? They were blaming themselves. Feeling like they were failing. Losing confidence. Burning out.

That’s when we realized: it was never just about food and fitness.

Weight loss is deeply connected to how we think, how we feel, how we manage stress, how we cope with emotions, and how we care for ourselves.

It’s holistic.

And as coaches, when we ignore that—we miss the most important piece.

2025 was our biggest year yet — in business, growth, and momentum.

And it was also one of the most challenging.

In this honest, behind-the-scenes conversation, we’re talking about what most people don’t see when growth is happening:

• What actually made 2025 our best year ever

• The wins we’re incredibly proud of

• The pressure, stretch, and hard decisions that came with success

• What growth forced us to confront — personally and professionally

• What we’re leaving behind (even after “winning”)

• What we’re intentionally taking into 2026

This isn’t a highlight reel.

And it’s not a burnout story either.

It’s a real conversation about evolution — because growth doesn’t just expand your results, it challenges your identity, your boundaries, and how you lead.

If you’re ending the year grateful and reflective — celebrating wins while questioning what comes next — this episode is for you.

Most women hit November and immediately say, “I’ll get back on track in January.”

But what if that mindset is the very thing that keeps you stuck — every single year?

In this episode, we’re breaking down why waiting for January actually makes your health journey harder… and how a simple end-of-year reset can change everything before the new year even starts.

This isn’t about restriction, perfection, or pretending the holidays aren’t busy.

It’s about shifting your approach so you can feel grounded, energized, and in control — without starting over from scratch every January.

We’re sharing a powerful mindset and nutrition framework we use with women inside FIT CHICKS Academy to help them end the year strong instead of checking out.

If you’ve ever felt like you “lose yourself” between November and January, this conversation will change the way you think about this season forever.

Listen now and learn how to reset your body, your habits, and your momentum in a way that actually feels doable — even during the busiest time of the year.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things — in your health, your business, your life — but still not seeing results, it’s time to simplify.

These are the five simple daily habits that completely changed everything for me. They helped me lose 50 pounds, build a multi–7-figure coaching business, and create a life that feels strong, calm, and completely aligned.

And here’s the best part — these habits don’t just work for me.

They’re the same foundation I’ve used to help thousands of women transform their bodies, their mindset, and their careers through holistic health coaching.

They’re not complicated. They’re not about perfection.

They’re about becoming the version of you who leads by example — in your energy, your health, and your purpose.

Inside this episode, I’m sharing how I use each of these habits to stay consistent, grow through challenges, and keep expanding in every area of life — from health, to business, to relationships.

So whether you’re a coach helping clients change their lives, or you’re ready to start coaching yourself on a deeper level — this episode will show you exactly how small daily actions create unstoppable momentum.

If you’re ready to get unstuck, find your spark again, and show up as the woman your future self (and your clients) will thank you for — this episode is your roadmap.

You can't out-diet an identity. And you can't out-coach a limiting belief.

Read that again.

Your clients can have the perfect macros, the cleanest meal plan, the best workout routine—but if they still identify as "someone who always fails" or "someone with no willpower," their brain will sabotage them every single time.

This is why your clients are stuck in the cycle: Start strong → fall off track → feel like a failure → start again → repeat.

And you're left wondering: "Why isn't my program working? What am I missing?"

Here's the truth: You're not missing better meal plans. You're missing the other 50%.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

The 50/50 weight loss formula (METHOD + MINDSET)
What identity actually is and how it controls your clients' choices
Why your clients' brains are wired to keep them stuck
The exact 5-step process to help clients shift their identity and create lasting change

In this insightful episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, we sit down with the brilliant Dr. Nibber, ND and expert in functional and integrative medicine, to dive into two of the most common (and misunderstood) root causes in women’s health: hormonal imbalance and chronic inflammation.

From fatigue and mood swings to stubborn weight and brain fog—Dr. Nibber helps connect the dots on why these symptoms are so common, and what we can do to address them holistically.

In this episode, we explore:

✔️ The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of hormone imbalance

✔️ What inflammation actually is—and how it silently disrupts your entire system

✔️ How lifestyle, nutrition, gut health, and stress all play a role

✔️ Why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed

✔️ What every coach needs to know to support clients through perimenopause and beyond

✔️ Dr. Nibber’s go-to wellness tips and protocols for restoring balance

Whether you're struggling with symptoms yourself or you’re a coach working with clients, this episode will shift how you approach women’s health—and empower you with knowledge that goes deeper than quick fixes or trendy wellness advice.

Will AI and weight loss meds replace coaches — or make us more essential than ever?

In this episode, I’m sharing my predictions for the future of coaching in a world where artificial intelligence can generate instant meal plans and prescriptions can shrink appetites overnight. Spoiler: the role of the coach is about to evolve in powerful ways.

Here’s what we’ll explore:

Why having all the answers isn’t enough anymore (and the hidden thing clients are really paying for).
What weight loss meds can’t fix — and the surprising gap only coaches can fill.
The unexpected shift that’s turning coaches into something far more powerful than “instructors.”
Why the next wave of coaching success will depend less on flashy marketing… and more on something clients are starting to demand.

The truth? AI and medications may change the game — but they’ll never replace the transformation only a skilled coach can deliver.

If you’ve ever wondered what it will really take to stay relevant (and in demand) in this new era of coaching, this episode will open your eyes.

We’re playing Kiss, Marry, Kill — fitness style! In this episode, we’re breaking down our top picks for which workouts are just a fun fling, which ones deserve a lifelong commitment, and which ones need to be ditched for good. You might be surprised at what made the list!For more details on our upcoming Fitness & Nutrition Certifications, visit fitchicksacademy.com.

Most coaches think they just need to know nutrition to help clients lose weight. Tell them what to eat, and they'll get results, right?

But here's what really happens: some clients lose weight then gain it back, others nod and smile on calls then disappear, and you're left feeling like you're piecing things together without a clear system.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to kickstart your holistic nutrition coaching results and revenue.

You'll discover:

✅ Why having nutrition knowledge isn't enough (and what's actually missing)

✅ The #1 reason clients don't follow through with their plans

✅ My Body → Brain → Business framework that transforms how you coach

✅ How to shift from giving information to coaching transformation

✅ Why diets fail (hint: it's not lack of willpower)

✅ The secret to building a coaching business that creates both impact AND income

This episode is perfect for you if:

You're passionate about health but unsure how to coach nutrition confidently
Your clients struggle to stick with their plans long-term
You want to add nutrition coaching to your business but don't know where to start
You're tired of feeling like you're piecing things together without a clear system

Whether you're brand new to coaching or you've been at this for years, this framework will change everything about how you approach nutrition and weight loss with your clients.

Ready to go deeper? Join me for the Holistic Nutrition Coaching 3-Day Bootcamp (August 26-28) where I'll teach you exactly HOW to use this method with your clients — plus give you all the tools, scripts, and confidence you need to start getting results immediately.

Get all the details at www.fitchicksacademy.com/nutritionbootcamp

Let's turn your passion into a method that actually works!

You've got goals. Business goals, client goals, revenue goals. So why does it still feel like something's missing? What if the burnout plaguing health coaches isn't about marketing strategies—but about losing sight of why you started helping people transform their lives?

In this brutally honest conversation, Amanda and Laura pull back the curtain on what's really been going on at FIT CHICKS Academy. We had crystal-clear goals, strategy, systems, success—but we'd lost the vision that made our coaching transformational in the first place.

You'll hear the uncomfortable moment we realized our goals were driving us toward someone else's definition of success, and the radical shift we're making to get back to what actually creates lasting change.

Most importantly, we share exactly how to reconnect with your authentic vision as a health coach—the one that will fuel your goals and make you unstoppable. This isn't about surface-level "why" exercises. This is about tapping into the vision that transforms exhausting hustle into effortless momentum.

If you're crushing your goals but feeling empty, this conversation will show you what's been missing all along.

The bottom line: Goals tell you what to do. Vision tells you why it matters. And without that why, you're just spinning your wheels.

I used to think I was broken. 17 years of binge eating, 50 pounds overweight, anxiety through the roof - despite being named a Top Fitness Professional. Then I discovered the difference between someone who loses weight and gains it back, and someone who transforms their body and keeps it off for 14+ years. It's not willpower. It's not genetics. It's not even the 'right' diet. It's something much deeper - and much more powerful. In this episode, I reveal the 3 identity shifts that not only ended my weight struggle forever but turned my mess into a message that's helped over 1,000 women become certified health coaches. Spoiler Alert: this has nothing to do with meal plans and everything to do with who you believe you are.
