Best Tanja Shaw Podcasts (2025)

Over the past (almost) 10 years, creating the podcast has been an incredible journey. Connecting with you, sharing actionable tips, and diving deep into topics that matter has been an adventure! But today, I want to share a personal update: I’ve decided to take a pause from the podcast. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s one I made after reflec…

425: Reflect, Recharge, and Reset for the New Year 26:08

Play Pause

5M ago26:08

26:08

As the year draws to a close, we’re gifted with a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and set the tone for the months ahead. The turning of a calendar page offers a fresh start—a chance to write a new chapter in the story of your life. For me, this isn’t just a routine; it’s a ritual. Every year, I set aside an entire day to review my businesses,…

23:13

What Are Some of Your Top Book Recommendations? This year, I read more fiction than usual, thanks to joining a book club and exploring different genres... and I ALSO read quite a few non-fiction books. Whether it’s listening to a book on Audible during a walk or settling in with a physical book and my cats curled up beside me, reading has become an…

6M ago17:12

17:12

Have you heard the claim that oatmeal is the same as candy? Or that eating bread is like spoon-feeding your body sugar? These bold (and frankly, misleading) statements inspired this week’s episode of the Fit in Real Life Podcast. We’re diving into the nitty-gritty details of carbohydrates, sugar, and how they’re metabolized in the body—cutting thro…

422: How Much Protein Do You REALLY Need? 29:50

6M ago29:50

29:50

Protein is a hot topic, and it seems like everyone has a different opinion. Should you be eating it at every meal? Is protein powder as good as chicken or beans? And what happens if you’re under your protein goal for the day—should you force down some egg whites even if you’re not hungry? If you’ve ever had these questions, this week’s episode is f…

If you’re like most people, you’ve set goals in the past, maybe even started strong, but then somehow drifted away from them. You try to eat healthier, to lose weight, to be more consistent… but something always seems to get in the way. Sound familiar?

Ever hit that point where you just don’t want to go? You’ve been working hard, but suddenly, the motivation’s gone, energy is low, and you’re not sure what to do next. This happened to me last week, and it inspired this week's episode. I share exactly what to do when the motivation dips and energy is nowhere to be found. Here’s a quick preview of w…

418: Redefining Femininity, Letting Go of Societal Standards, and My 11-Month Post-Explant Update 16:23

7M ago16:23

16:23

It’s almost a year since my breast explant surgery. I’m sharing what the journey has really been like, from redefining my own version of femininity to discovering that confidence comes not from changing my body, but from accepting it as is. We often measure ourselves by our perceived “imperfections”—whether it’s our stomach, arms, skin, or scars—fo…

417: The Best Shape For Your Life 18:41

7M ago18:41

18:41

For years, I was chasing that elusive goal of being in the best shape of my life... which, in my mind, meant effortlessly running up a long hill looking graceful—and without my thighs chafing. But lately, my goal has changed. Now, it’s not about being in the best shape OF my life, but in the best shape FOR my life. What does that even mean? It's ab…

31:37

Social media is FULL of the latest fitness hacks, challenges, and quick-fix solutions. One minute you're told you need to lift heavy like a powerlifter, and the next you’re wondering if dry brushing your thighs will magically burn off that last bit of fat (spoiler: it won’t). It’s hard not to get swept up in all the promises of "rapid results" or "…

413: 5 Things I've Learned from 6 Months of Therapy 23:47

8M ago23:47

23:47

I want to be real with you today. For years, I thought I didn’t need therapy. I would tell myself, “I already know what to do… I just need to do it" and "I'm not so bad" and "what would I learn that I don't already know?" Maybe you’ve had those same thoughts, too? It took me a long time before I actually took that step to talk to someone. And even …

Ever find yourself in a late-night snack battle? You know, where you promise you’ll stop after a few bites... but suddenly you're elbow-deep in chips or cookies? Me too. But here's the thing: it’s not just about resisting the urge—it’s about being intentional with how you end your day. In my latest podcast episode, I share one simple evening affirm…

Have you ever... ...eaten ALL. THE. CHIPS. because your kids opened the bag? ...polished off 3 glasses of wine because, well, it was a gift? ...blamed stress when you 'fell off the wagon?'. It’s easy to feel like the world (and people around us) are conspiring to derail our goals, but here’s the truth: it’s not about them. It’s about YOU. Let this …

What do headaches, fatigue, insomnia, sugar cravings, and weight loss resistance have in common? Well, besides that they are all unpleasant experiences, they are also all signs of blood sugar dysregulation. And while eating more protein and less sugary carbs can help, changing your diet might not be enough to stabilize blood sugar, reverse insulin …

408: How I'm Tracking My Habits (+ Which Habits I'm Tracking) 27:15

9M ago27:15

27:15

I have a love-hate relationship with tracking habits and activities. I wish I could get results and make great choices without tracking, but if I’m honest with myself, I’m WAY more consistent and focused when I do. Tracking makes me more aware of my habits, and when you measure something, you naturally try to improve it. As James Clear says, "You d…

SO MANY people swear that meal prep and planning will revolutionize their lives, make things easier, and dramatically improve their eating habits (and it's true, it will)... but then, they just don’t do it. Why not, you ask? Well, it turns out there are quite a few hurdles: Bandwidth to Get Started: We all have a million things on our plates, and s…
