In this episode, I’m getting real about a tough week, experimenting with coming off medication, and how that experience sparked a deeper conversation around navigating fat loss with a neurodivergent brain. I share my own journey with anxiety, ADHD, OCD tendencies, and sobriety, and why “just be consistent” advice doesn’t work for so many of us. We dive into practical, realistic systems that actually support follow-through, like building lists that work with your brain, simplifying meal planning, using your calendar effectively, leaning on support, and focusing on small, momentum-building wins instead of all-or-nothing thinking. If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to stay consistent with fitness or fat loss, this episode will help you feel seen, and give you tools to finally work with your brain instead of against it.Join my community:Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/christyleefit/'>https://www.instagram.com/christyleefit/</a>Need help with your goals in 2026?

How to lose fat if you're neurodivergent

Growing up in the South, so much of my experience around puberty, sexuality, and relationships was rooted in shame, fear, and abstinence-only messaging, and I’m unpacking how that shaped my body image, beliefs about pleasure, and understanding of STIs, consent, and self-worth. We talk about real anatomy (yes, including the clitoris), why pleasure doesn’t cancel out self-respect, how consent can change at any time, and why your sexual choices have nothing to do with your morality. This episode is about normalizing conversations around sex, dismantling shame, and creating a more confident, empowered relationship with your body and your desires.Join my community:Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/christyleefit/'>https://www.instagram.com/christyleefit/</a>Need help with your goals in 2026?

What I wish we were taught in sex ed

Have you ever felt torn between what you want and what you’ve been taught you should want? Today I’m sharing an honest, unfiltered conversation about pushing past fear, deprogramming sexual shame, and why saying “fuck it, let’s see what happens” completely changed my life. I talk about how a friends-with-benefits experiment unexpectedly turned into a beautiful relationship, why women are taught to feel shame around desire, and how to start questioning the beliefs you’ve inherited about sex, love, and being a “good girl.” If you feel like you have to be fully healed or perfectly confident before entering a relationship, listen to today&apos;s episode to learn how real growth often only happens when another person is there to help trigger it. This is a rambling, vulnerable, no-notes chat about sexuality, self-trust, and letting relationships be a place where healing actually happens.Join my community:Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/christyleefit/'>https://www.instagram.com/christyleefit/</a>Need help with your goals in 2026?

Should I be living the soft life?

Last January, I was scared to even set goals. I didn’t trust myself to follow through. I was coming out of a divorce, living alone for the first time, and feeling disconnected from my body and confidence. And yet… that January changed my life.In this episode, I walk you through:<ul><li>Why setting goals feels terrifying when you’ve let yourself down before</li><li>How confidence is built before the transformation, not after</li><li>The exact systems I used to stay consistent when motivation wasn’t there</li><li>Why courage doesn’t feel empowering (and why that’s normal)</li><li>How to approach January without pressure to “reinvent yourself,” but still move forward</li></ul>This is part pep talk, part practical strategy, and part reminder that you are not broken, you just need systems that actually support you.
