Ep 333 - 31 Harsh Truths I wish I knew at 21
30 was a best year on record. This morning I went for a walk with Sia and thought damn, it’s crazy what you can do in a year! Here’s a few highlights: Finding out we were pregnant with Sia (and of course, her arrival 3 weeks ago!) I competed in my 1st Muay Thai fight (after 4 months of starting!) We launched our brand new RNT app (exclusive for our members) Went a whole year vegan (and being the fittest I’ve ever been) Crossed a few cool milestones: 5 years in business, 3100+ transformations, 330+ podcast episodes Spent 3+ months travelling, including 2x month long stints with Chandni for the 1st time (we were never able to do this when she worked corporate!) Birthdays are always an opportunity for reflection. So as I turn 31 today, I wanted to share 31 harsh truths I wish I knew at 21. Ironically, my parents could’ve told me all of these back then.

As soon as Karen fell pregnant, she knew it was time to take her health and fitness to the next level, educate herself about food and nutrition, and set her and her family up for future success.
