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
Balance Is Bullsh*t (Here’s What Works Instead)
Have you ever tried to live the so-called “balanced lifestyle” — clean meals Monday to Friday, one cookie on Saturday, a 4-day workout split — and still ended up in guilt, shame, or binge mode? You’re not crazy. The version of “balance” diet culture sells us is just restriction in prettier packaging.
In this episode, I break down exactly why balance keeps high-achieving women stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle — and what actually works instead. You’ll learn:
- Why “80/20” is just another food rule dressed up as freedom
- How “I’m just being balanced” kept me micromanaging carbs and spiraling into binges
- Why life’s chaos (vacations, stress, your period) will always break a rigid balance plan
- The mindset shift that replaces balance with flexibility and self-trust
- How to anchor your food and fitness in values — not guilt or numbers
If “balance” has ever felt like another way you’re failing, you’re not broken — the system is. Tune in to hear how to trade balance for true freedom and finally build a version of health that fits your real life.
