Gratitude Gains: Fueling Fitness & Well-being w/ Thankfulness Tactics | Ep. 106

She was tired of the “mom bod,” tired of feeling like sh*t in her own skin, and tired of guessing what would finally work. When she remembered how good she used to feel while lifting weights, she made a decision — and everything started to change. In this episode, she opens up about: 💬 Why she felt lost and uncomfortable in her body 💪 How strength training helped her feel confident again 🧠 The mindset shifts that made her results stick 👚 And how her clothes, confidence, and energy feel totally different now If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “This isn’t me” — this one’s for you.

You’re doing the work—lifting, tracking, building confidence—and your body is changing. But what no one warns you about is the grief that can surface when you start evolving. In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the emotional side of transformation—letting go of the old version of yourself, navigating shifting relationships, and feeling the growing pains of becoming a new, stronger, more empowered version of you. If you’ve ever felt proud and heavy at the same time… this episode will hit home. You’re not broken. You’re just becoming.

Fitness isn’t meant to stay the same forever—and neither are you. In this raw and personal episode, I’m opening up about how my training has shifted in this season of life. From heavy lifting to slower, more intentional movement like yoga and walking, I’m learning to listen to my body in a whole new way. This episode is for the woman who feels her body craving something different—but is wrestling with the guilt of doing less. You’ll hear how I’m navigating that, what this evolution is teaching me, and why stepping back doesn’t mean losing progress. It might just mean you’re growing.

In this powerhouse episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey sits down with world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims — the woman who rewrote the rules for how females should train, fuel, and recover.
