389: Raising A Confident, Healthy (and Jacked!) Daughter with my 18-Year Old Daughter Kate Brueseke
In this special episode, I sit down with my daughter Kate to reflect on her growth since her first time on the podcast at age 12. Now that she’s 18, Kate opens up about building confidence through cheer, strength training, and embracing her vegetarian lifestyle, as well as navigating the exciting and sometimes overwhelming transition into college life. We also dive into parenting lessons I’ve learned along the way, like giving kids independence, letting them fail safely, and modeling imperfection with grace. This heartfelt conversation is about more than just raising strong, confident kids; it’s about embracing growth, authenticity, and resilience together.Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/389Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!Links:Episode 39: Raising Confident, Healthy Daughters with My 12-Year-Old Daughter Kate BruesekeEpisode 249: Raising Body-Positive Teenagers With My 15-Year-Old Daughter Kate Brueseke

388: "I’m Not Hungry, But I Still Ate It" | Live Coaching Session
In this episode, I’m sharing a Live Coaching session from inside MACROS 101 with Lauren, who caught herself reaching for dessert while thinking, “You’re not hungry for this.” We unpacked that familiar tug-of-war between the part that wants the cookie and the part that says you shouldn’t. But what if there’s another path forward? Listen in as I coach Lauren on making choices from a place of wholeness, and why food feels so much trickier in social settings than when you’re eating alone.
