This episode also shares the bigger vision behind WarriorBabe: breaking generational patterns around food, fitness, and self-worth to create lasting, life-changing health.
In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott explains why so many women quit their fitness journey right before results are about to happen.

From internal fat loss and hormonal shifts to rebuilding trust with food, Nikkiey explains why a stalled scale doesn’t mean things aren’t working.

Through science, mindset shifts, and tough-love coaching, Nikkiey explains how years of stress, under-eating, and over-training keep the body in survival mode — and how to rebuild trust, safety, and strength again.

In this episode of The Macro Hour, host Nikkiey Stott tackles one of the hardest seasons for women who are working on their goals: the holidays. Instead of treating November and December like a “write-off” or a time to start over later, Nikkiey shows women how to hold their standards, enjoy food and family, and stay in integrity with themselves — without chasing perfection. She breaks down the real pressures around holiday food, family comments, and packed schedules, then teaches how to create simple, non-negotiable habits that keep momentum going even on the busiest days. Finally, she dives into the deeper work: identity. Who are you when life gets loud? The woman who abandons herself… or the woman who keeps her power no matter what the calendar looks like? This episode is for the woman who refuses to let the holidays erase her progress — and is ready to become the kind of woman who keeps her word to herself all year long.
This episode calls out the one thing holding most women back: excuses. Not lack of time. Not lack of motivation. Excuses. Nikkiey walks listeners through the real consequences of not finishing what you start, saying yes to everything, and constantly breaking promises to yourself. She teaches how excuses erode self-trust, weaken your character, and block your ability to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically. If you’ve been stuck in the “start-stop-start again” cycle… this episode is the permission slip and calling you’ve been waiting for.
