Today, Amy Rudolph joins us on the podcast! Amy is an oncology physical therapist and online strength and nutrition coach with Team BFF. She leverages her knowledge and personal experience to guide clients toward their fitness goals, empowering them and emphasizing the importance of sustainable habits over deadline-driven weight loss.

Amy shares the breakthrough moments in her fitness journey, and we discuss overcoming self-judgement, embracing curiosity, and maintaining a healthy balance between physical fitness and mental wellness. We talk about how to find the balance between maintaining a healthy lifestyle and savoring life’s indulgences and fostering or maintaining a sense of community. We emphasize the importance of maintaining life’s rituals and routines while also making small compromises that pave the way for achieving our goals, and reframing the process as an evolution, not a strict program.

“With age comes wisdom, and as I’m getting older, I want to be healthy. I want to be around to do all the things I want to do like hike and run and lift weights for as long as I want to. Let alone getting up and down off the floor or the toilet without pain and suffering.”

- Amy Rudolph

“A lot of success happens in the gray. It doesn’t have to be black and white. That’s usually where we struggle and stumble.”

- Amy Rudolph
