The Fit Without Obsession Podcast
I spent years stuck in the messy middle — not sick anymore, but definitely not free. Overthinking every bite, terrified of weight gain, chasing control, and calling it “discipline.” If you’re living in that space… this podcast is for you.
I’m Gena — ED-recovered, recovery-informed food freedom + strength coach, and a woman who has lived every chapter of the struggle: restriction, bingeing, body hate, perfectionism, and the long, uncomfortable climb back to trust. Now I help high-achieving women heal their relationship with food, rebuild confidence in their bodies, and get strong again — without slipping back into obsession or fear.
Inside The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, you’ll find the conversations I wish I had when I was trapped in guilt, anxiety, and all-or-nothing thinking. We talk healing, strength, body image, self-trust, and how to finally pursue your goals without losing yourself in the process. This is where freedom and results can finally coexist.
Whether you’re recovering from years of dieting, navigating quasi-recovery, or just exhausted from overthinking food… you’re not alone anymore. This show is your safe space to heal, grow, and build the strong, peaceful, joyful life you deserve.
If you’re ready to stop spiraling and start actually living — welcome home.

The Fit Without Obsession Podcast
What I Wish I Knew Before I Started My Fitness Journey
When I first started my fitness journey, I thought smaller jeans and a flatter stomach were the ticket to happiness. Instead, I ended up skipping dinners with friends so I could weigh out almond butter, losing my period from overtraining, and crying in the mirror even at my “goal weight.”
In this episode, I share the exact lessons that could have saved me years of guilt, binges, and burnout:
- Why getting smaller won’t fix the voice that says you’re not enough
- The truth about discipline (and why permission stops the binge/restrict cycle)
- How eating more — not less — finally gave me the body I wanted
- The moment I realized strength training was the key to self-trust, not “getting bulky”
- How rest saved me from the ER and rebuilt my health
- Why mindset work will always matter more than the number of macros you hit
If you’re grinding through workouts, terrified of carbs, or constantly starting over every Monday — this episode is the wake-up call I wish someone had given me. Fitness isn’t about chasing skinny. It’s about building strength, confidence, and freedom.
