Hey hey, beautiful human! Today we’re tackling a topic that’s been so misunderstood in the fitness space: maintenance phases.

If you’ve ever felt like eating at maintenance meant you were falling behind, losing progress, or just “holding still”… this episode is going to change everything.

Because maintenance? It’s not a pause—it’s a strategy. And it’s one of the most powerful tools for your long-term success.

What I discuss:

  • What a maintenance phase really is—and why it’s not “doing nothing”

  • How eating at maintenance restores your metabolism, hormones, and energy

  • Why maintenance phases are essential for muscle building, performance, and recovery

  • The mindset shift that helped me finally break out of the “always be cutting” trap

So if you’re tired of chasing results that don’t stick… or feeling like rest equals failure… I promise this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.
