Solo Q&A: My Essential Supplements, Gym Anxiety & Shopping Addiction

Ep. 178: In today’s Q&A, we’re covering everything from gym anxiety hacks to my latest obsession with lemon bars (seriously, it’s a problem). I’m also opening up about the emotional rollercoaster of IVF, how Greg and I are adjusting to a new work-life balance, and why I’m suddenly shopping more than ever. Plus, I’m sharing my current go-to activewear brands, what’s on my daily plate, and how I’m shifting into a softer, more intentional way of living. Whether you’re here for fitness tips, life updates, or just to hang out, this one’s for you. Let’s chat!
