Macros, Muscle, and Manifestation Podcast: Recent Episodes
Caroline Ofenstein
Losing weight, gaining muscle, and living your healthiest life goes beyond the “perfect” training or nutrition plan. Coach Caroline is here to bring in the missing piece and help you become a magnet for your ultimate health & fitness goals.
In case you missed it, I’m pregnant with baby #2! Manifesting this second pregnancy was so easy and so FUN (compared to the struggle bus that was TTC baby # 1) and today I’ll share a few things that made all the difference.
This episode is full of fresh manifestation tips that I’ve been leaning into - like using music to manifest, affirmations that actually work, what to do when you're stuck in a rut, and more! Whether you’re focused on fertility, pregnancy, & motherhood or not, anyone can benefit from these conscious creation tips.
If you’ve been feeling blocked with calling a desire into your life or you feel like your manifestation practice needs a reboot… this one is for you!

From a professional snowboarding career to becoming an inspirational voice for true informed consent, Brooke Bacci joins the podcast today to share her wisdom.
Brooke believes it is our responsibility to be educated on anything in life that requires a decision, from tattoos to biohacking trends to medical choices and everything in between. But when it comes to some of the more controversial topics, it's becoming increasingly harder to be truly informed due to censorship, societal conditioning, etc. That's what makes today's discussion so exciting!
Buckle up for a deep dive into vaccines, the risks of adjuvants and additives, detoxing heavy metals, healthy living in today’s crazy world, and more!

Katie Crokus, recipe creator and storyteller, is back on the podcast today! Our life paths intertwined during my years as a health coach when Katie came to me on a journey to leanness, but ended up walking a much more challenging path... One away from diet culture and towards freedom, confidence, peace, and yes - bigger clothes.
Our stories are similar as we each spent YEARS as chronic dieters, obsessed with fat loss, never missing a workout, and only eating what fit into our daily macros.
Fast forward to today - neither of us hardly even thinks about food! We feel happy in our bodies, we are thriving in life & motherhood, and eating healthy feels EASY.
- How did we get here?
- What were the biggest hurdles to overcome?
- Weren’t we afraid to gain weight?
- Is moderation actually real? Even with ice cream?!
- Do you ever want your leaner body back?
We dig into the answers to these questions and so much more in this deep, authentic, and honest AF conversation. If you’re in the thick of dieting and body image challenges right now, I hope you feel seen & supported today 🤍

"When we bring the attention back to our center - our Womb - we become aligned, empowered, present, and grounded." - Rebecca Akat
Our menstrual cycles aren’t a burden or something to be ashamed of. Each cycle is an opportunity for renewal, deep cleansing, and connecting to our feminine energy. When we sync our daily life with our cycle, we open a portal to our healthiest, most empowered, and abundant selves.
The woman behind BlumeWomb, Rebecca Akat, joins the podcast today to share her wisdom as a menstrual cycle and feminine embodiment coach, teaching women how to honor their natural rhythms to enhance their lifestyle. Rebecca specializes in womb healing, helping women tap into great strength, creativity, ancestral healing, and abundance by better understanding what is happening inside of our bodies.
If you’re not currently cycling because you’re pregnant, in your wise woman years (menopause), or you’re dealing with PCOS or irregular cycles - worry not, we’ll share how you can still honor the internal seasons and your power within!

If you want to learn the basics of German New Medicine, how to fine tune your personal awareness, and become your own healer, then you will love this conversation with Abigail Puccioni.
We discuss how to apply GNM within the specific conflicts that can cause symptoms of skin issues (eczema, dermatitis, rashes, and acne), bloating, headaches, TMJ, muscle aches, and chronic pain. Plus, how you can use GNM as a mom when your littles are showing various symptoms.

Almost HALF of all women experience birth trauma.
Today, I chat with Audrey Ross of A Joyful Birth about why this might be. Why is it so hard to trust our bodies when it comes to birth? Why are we as a society so scared of birth? How do we break free from the fear and step back into our innate womanly power?
Audrey is a birthkeeper, educator of physiologic birth, and a mother. She went from a breech hospital birth with her first, to a homebirth with licensed midwives with her second baby, to a freebirth, and now she's currently journeying through a wild pregnancy (no medical intervention, no scans, etc.) and planning her second freebirth!
Together we dive into:
- Why the hospital might NOT be the safest place to give birth (failure to progress, anyone?!)
- Pros and cons of homebirth with midwives
- How to protect yourself and your space in pregnancy and birth
- Audrey's choice of wild pregnancy and freebirth
- How to build trust in your body's ability to birth a healthy baby

“A crunchy mom is someone who doesn’t just accept the status quo. She willingly does her own research for pregnancy and birth, breastfeeding and baby wearing, vaccines and solid foods. She makes informed choices and pursues a more natural way of living. She cares deeply about giving her children the best life possible and also making sure she’s leaving the best world she possibly can for her grandchildren.
Crunchy moms support ALL moms, even if their opinions differ. They believe in encouraging EVERY mom and they understand that each mom has different needs and different beliefs.”
Press play and let’s dig into what it actually means to be a crunchy mom, plus a few tips and resources from my own experience walking this path.

It’s time to say goodbye to “Macros, Muscle, and Manifestation” and that means saying goodbye to the bodybuilding, chronic dieting, physique obsessed version of me, too.

Tricia, through social media, gave everyone a front row seat to her devastating heartbreak earlier this year. But then we also got to see her healing journey that led to her manifesting new career opportunities, meaningful relationships, money, health, and more.
In today’s chat, we dig into exactly how she cultivated such a beautiful glow up, including somatic practices, emotional release, nervous system regulation, and other healing tools. I feel that Tricia's journey is such an important one to highlight because her healing path was so drastically different from what we see in culture, which usually emphasizes emotional eating, partying, rebound dating, revenge, etc. as the way to "move on."
Follow Tricia on Instagram and check out her offerings.

You might remember Lesha from her first podcast appearance on episode 64, and since then she has stepped fully into the mom & baby health space as a somatic practitioner.

Then we take it from the kitchen into Lesha’s area of expertise - tongue and lip ties. You’ll hear her theories on why these are so common today and how you can avoid a painful revision for your little one, plus tips on how to build your own village of support as a new mom.

WHY is it so hard for me to trust my own intuition?

In this episode, I’m taking you on an adventure through all of my kidney woes during pregnancy. This is the resource I wish I would have had when I first was diagnosed with severe hydronephrosis in the ER at 17 weeks pregnant.

We’ll cover my diagnosis, the three procedures that followed, nephrostomy tube vs ureteral stent pros and cons based on my experience having both, and my eventual kidney surgery (pyeloplasty) at 22 weeks pregnant.
I hope this helps you if you’re going through something similar. Stay strong mama! You WILL make it to the other side!

What if life throws you a curveball instead of delivering the pretty, perfect image from your vision board?
What do you do? How do you continue to trust, learn, and grow when faced with an unexpected challenge or a manifestation that doesn't work out?
These are questions I've been grappling with recently as my pregnancy has most definitely NOT been going according to the plans I had made in my head. Today on the podcast, I'll share how I've been using my own unexpected challenges as an opportunity to wake up and build a sense of self - and happiness - that is pure and independent.

How do you measure progress if you're not tracking macros or weighing yourself?
We're often told that the only way to know we're "progressing" is by seeing the scale going down or by tracking macros 24/7...
But what if you want LESS stress around food and fitness and LESS intensity? You still want to look good naked... But you also want freedom from constantly thinking about your diet and to feel more ease and flexibility in your lifestyle.
In today's episode, I'll share 7 of my favorite markers of progress that have nothing to do with your macros or the scale so you can confidently move forward with adding a little more intuition and trust into your wellness routine.

We have a wild ride for you today as we welcomed Sabrina Riccio to the podcast. We talked quite a bit about hustle culture, the good and the bad, as well as how to surrender, how to trust yourself, especially in the midst of challenges.

I tell this to you ahead of time, to reiterate, we all have our shit we're working through, but there's still always a way to reconnect back to the present, to choose a higher vibe emotion, and to keep making those small steps towards where you truly want to be.

We're calling today's episode Macros, Muscle, Manifestation, and MEDITATION, and how to add that in because we are having my all-time favorite meditation teacher, David Gandelman. David is not only the shit at teaching meditation, but he's also the reason I discover manifestation a few years ago because it was his course on the Insight Timer App that helped me start manifesting my fitness goals.
David isn't just a meditation teacher but also a coach and author. He's the host of the Meditation School and Grounded Sleep Podcast, and his meditations have been streamed for over 30M minutes on Insight Timer; that's how good he is!
After receiving a degree in Philosophy and spending some time in the Himalayas and Hawai studying 10 years with yoga masters and meditation teachers, now he teaches his own unique style of energy awareness mindfulness, meditation, and he's known for his humorous and accessible approach.
This interview was such an honor, and David has a killer sense of humor. Learn why everyone actually HAS time to meditate. Get on board because you're going to laugh and love today's episode!

I've wanted to chat with someone about Human Design for so long, and this interview with Lilly was so fun. For me, it has been incredibly eye-opening; even knowing just a few basics about my own design has allowed me to make some changes in my fitness, my nutrition, and especially how I structure my workday, which has helped me feel calmer, less stressed. Things just literally happen more easily when I'm living in alignment with my design. If you don't know anything about Human Design, that's ok, this episode will be a great introduction for you, and we'll cover the two main areas that you should look at first on your chart.

My guest today, Lilly Markova, is a Human Design specialist and NLP trainer. She's very passionate about HD and loves that it allows you to experiment with all areas of your life to find what's ideal for YOU and your true soul.
We're going to start by digging into your energy type and your authority to give you a good baseline of your design. Let's get started!

Let's talk about Mindfulness and practices that don't suck. But what's even Mindfulness? Well, according to mindfulness.org, it is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we are doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what's going on around us. That's what we all want, right?
Apart from meditation, silence, and staying in savasana after yoga, there are so many options available to you to return to the present moment.
In this episode, I'm bringing you 13 fresh ideas for how to bring more Mindfulness into your day.

My husband Archie (obviously) and two of my coaching friends Bobbi Sherman and Austin Witt. My husband is not into competing and the three of us have competed so I thought it would be a great idea to get everyone's perspective on what I think the best tool is for crushing your fitness goals - support. Contest prep is hard to say the least so the more support you have, the better.

It's time to share my journey with fitness, nutrition, personal development, and becoming a coach. Let me forewarn you that it's not all pretty and I do share my struggles with binging and purging. If that is something that will trigger you, I would advise you to skip over that part of my story. Along with my nutrition, I also want to share my competitive sport side growing up, my time in corporate America, my pro card journey, and much more.
