Today we’re diving into a struggle I know so many of you have felt—when you’re tracking your macros, lifting weights, staying consistent… and yet you feel like you’re gaining weight.

It’s frustrating. It’s confusing. And it can make you second-guess everything you’re doing.

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I’m breaking down what’s actually going on when this happens—and giving you clear steps to navigate it with confidence, instead of panic.

Because more often than not? Your body is telling you something important—and this is not the time to throw in the towel.

What I discuss:

  • Why feeling puffy or “heavier” doesn’t always mean fat gain

  • How inflammation, water retention, and stress impact the scale and how your body feels

  • The most common hidden reasons women feel like they’re gaining, even when doing “everything right”

  • How to know if it’s time to adjust your plan—or stay the course

  • Why trusting the process (not just the scale) is key to long-term success

  • How to shift from reactive to empowered when this shows up in your journey
