\\ WHY DIETS F*CKING SUCK! WHAT I DO INSTEAD TO GAIN & MAINTAIN
Wednesday Jul 31, 2024
Wednesday Jul 31, 2024
Welcome back to "Becoming Stacy"! In today's episode, I'm diving into the questions I get asked most frequently about my fitness routine. How do I stay fit? Do I count calories? What workouts do I do? Do I follow a specific routine? I remember being in the same place as many of you about five years ago, wondering how those inspiring women in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s were achieving their fitness goals and looking amazing.
I followed numerous fitness journeys, tried fad diets, magic pills, and various programs. Through my own experiences, I discovered that the key to lasting fitness is rooted in mindset. It's about understanding why you want to lose weight and getting to the core of that motivation. In this episode, I'll share what has worked for me, the mental shifts I've made, and how you can apply these insights to your own fitness journey.
Join me as I unpack my routines, tips, and the mindset that has transformed my approach to health and fitness.

Wednesday Jul 24, 2024
Wednesday Jul 24, 2024
In today's episode of "Becoming Stacy," I dive into the top five books that have profoundly impacted my self-development journey. Over the past decade, I've been on a quest to discover who I truly am and to feel comfortable showing up as my authentic self. This episode explores the essence of elf-reflection and how, often in midlife, we begin to question if our thoughts, beliefs, and values are genuinely ours or merely a compilation of influences from those around us.
I'll share how these five books have significantly shaped my perspective and growth. It's fascinating how seemingly random encounters—a book you happen upon, a chance meeting, or an unexpected job opportunity—can lead to profound personal transformation. Tune in to hear about the books that have guided me and might just inspire your journey too.

Tune in as we discuss the intersection of daily habits and self-development, and discover how even the simplest tasks can contribute to our overall well-being.
