Ever found yourself in a hospital room Googling “all the medical mumbo jumbo that you just heard from five different people in white coats? Or maybe you’ve sat there silently, praying someone would just translate what's happening to your mom or spouse? You're not alone. Hospitals can be overwhelming AF.

When our loved ones get admitted, we’re handed forms, not answers. We're expected to trust the process, even when our gut says something’s off. And let’s be honest—half the time you don’t know who’s in charge, what your rights are, or how to get your questions answered without being labeled “that family member.”

That’s why I’m happy to have Dr. Julie Siemers—nurse, educator, and medical truth-teller with 40 years of experience on the Fit Girl Magic podcast to teach you Hospital Survival 101. She’s pulling back the curtain (and yep, throwing a little polite sass at the system).

You’ll learn how to advocate for your loved ones, speak the secret hospital language, and not be dismissed like a confused extra on Grey’s Anatomy.

Grab your notebook, open your Notes app, or just hit play and soak this in—because this episode might literally save a life.

Hit play now and let’s get into it.

Hey Magic Makers — let’s talk about how the scale might be doing you dirty!

Let me guess you are eating “clean,” tracking your food, working out when you can, and still feel like the scale is mocking you?

You’re not broken… but your metabolism might be straight-up exhausted.

In this kickoff to the Metabolism Reset Series, I’m breaking down why your “eat less, move more” strategy isn’t working anymore — and what’s actually going on behind the scenes (hint: it has a LOT to do with stress, muscle loss, and hormonal chaos).

Here's what we're diving into:

▶️ Why 1,200-calorie diets are wrecking your progress

▶️ What your body’s really doing when you’re “doing everything right”

▶️ Why strength training is your midlife BFF

▶️ The unexpected stress that’s slowing your metabolism

▶️ What holding patterns, hormone shifts, and burnout really feel like

▶️ And how to tell if your metabolism is waving the white flag (👋 tired AF)

This episode is part pep talk, part truth bomb, and all about getting back in the driver’s seat of your results — no more celery sticks and shame spirals.

Feeling stuck AF?

You’re not broken — your intuition’s just been on mute.

Today, I’m chatting with the amazing Isabel Chiara to uncover how to stop sabotaging yourself, trust your gut again, and actually nourish your mind, body, and soul — without feeling like you’re a DIY project that needs constant fixing.

We’re swerving off the usual path and getting real about what’s actually driving your behaviors. (Hint: It’s not your willpower, it’s not your macros, and it’s definitely not a broken metabolism.)

Inside this episode, Isabel and I dig into:

✨ Why ignoring your gut keeps you stuck (and how to trust it again)

✨ How one playground insult can haunt you for decades (and how to finally let it go)

✨ How to shift your vibe from "I suck" ➡️ "I'm magical AF"

✨ Why the scale needs to lose your number (and how to break up with it for good)

✨ How “nourish” became Isabel’s power word for radical mindset shifts

✨ The real reason you reach for unlimited carbs (spoiler: it’s not because you’re weak)

PLUS — Isabel shares her Nourish App — a simple, powerful way to rewire old patterns without spending the next 10 years in therapy.

(She’s even giving you a FREE month to try it out — don't sleep on this!)

If your brain’s been stuck on the same struggle-bus loop, this episode is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
