Whether you’re here for strength training tips, healthy pelvic floor advice, or a pep talk about building balance as an entrepreneur, you’ll leave this episode inspired to take up space and own your fitness journey.
Here's what we cover:
The friendship and mission that sparked the creation of Get Sculpted
The truth about pelvic floor health and why it matters for every woman, not just postpartum
The difference between “common” and “normal” when it comes to incontinence and core strength
How to know if your workout programming is actually right for your body and goals
Why recovery, rest, and feedback are just as important as the reps
How entrepreneurs can protect their energy and find a work-life balance that actually works
Real talk on cosmetic enhancements...transparency, self-love, and doing what’s right for you
The bloopers, funny gym fails, and lessons that remind us fitness should be fun
This episode is a mix of heart, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, a reminder that women’s fitness is about more than just sets and reps. It’s about learning your body, honoring your seasons, and building a life that feels strong from the inside out.
When you're doing those random workouts, you know, the random classes, that's just servicing the general population. There's no intentional structure, no plan. It doesn't fit your goal.
-Coach Marilynn

OUR GET SCULPTED BEGINNINGS: HOW WE MET
Marilynn: How did the three of us meet? We cover the timeline of our friendship from coaching clients to coaches, how Covid lockdowns brought us together for regular "work sessions," and the pivotal lunch where the Get Sculpted vision was born. Each host shares what drew them to the partnership, and how a foundation of genuine friendship set the stage for seamless collaboration.
PELVIC FLOOR HEALTH: MYTHS, TIPS & WHY IT MATTERS FOR EVERYONE
Tijana: We move right into one of your top wellness questions—how to maintain a healthy pelvic floor (whether you’ve had children or not!). Tijana busts common myths, details the importance of pelvic floor awareness for all genders, and explains the variety of factors that affect it beyond pregnancy. Real-life stories from Jordanna and Marilynn highlight why a pelvic floor physiotherapist is an asset for everyone, not just postpartum women. Expect actionable tips and a clear message: stop waiting until you’re in crisis to address pelvic health!
SMART PROGRAM DESIGN: HOW WE CREATE EFFECTIVE TRAINING PLANS
What's the science and art behind building customized fitness programs? The three hosts break down how they select exercises, set rep ranges, and design body-part splits. They emphasize the importance of individual needs, goals, and recovery—why there’s no “one right program” for everyone, and why evolving your training over time is essential for results. Insights about overtraining, rest, and the myth of outgrowing the gym round out this section.
ENTREPRENEUR LIFE: WORK-LIFE BALANCE & BOUNDARIES (PLUS THE MYTH OF “BALANCE”)
The conversation shifts to managing entrepreneurship, working from home, and the honest truth behind work-life boundaries. Each co-host shares personal systems (think: calendars, time-blocking, and honoring routines) and lessons learned from burnout. Jordanna unpacks the myth of true “balance,” and all three highlight why boundaries—and being present—matter more than ever for mental health and productivity.
NAVIGATING SOCIAL PRESSURE & FITNESS JUDGEMENT
How do you handle pressure or judgement about your fitness lifestyle from others? The hosts dish out practical strategies: shift social circles, focus on finding aligned community, and let your example speak for itself. Marilynn and Jordanna reflect on letting go of other people’s opinions and standing firm in your choices.
BUSTING FITNESS MYTHS: WHAT WE USED TO BELIEVE (AND WHY IT WAS WRONG)
Open confessions on past fitness mistakes: overtraining, undereating, scale obsession, and relying on extreme consistency with the wrong methods. The hosts illustrate why smarter, not harder, is the winning approach; why soreness and endless cardio don’t equal results; and how empathy for the struggle is what led them to coach other women out of dead-end fitness dogma.
GYM BLOOPERS: OUR MOST EMBARRASSING FITNESS MOMENTS
Time for some laughs! From gym fails caught on video, band mishaps, to misunderstood grunting in the basement—each co-host unpacks a story of fitness humiliation and why laughing at yourself (and each other) is part of the journey.
OUR TAKE ON COSMETIC ENHANCEMENTS: HONESTY, AGENCY, & REALITY CHECKS
The trio tackles a hot-button topic: cosmetic enhancements. Their philosophy? Your body, your choice—without shame or secrecy. Marilynn & Jordanna share personal experiences with procedures, reinforce the importance of transparency, and debunk unrealistic claims about what gym work alone can achieve. Practical, judgment-free advice on making enhancements a matter of empowered choice, not self-critique.
SETTING MINI GOALS: HOW WE’RE FINISHING THE YEAR STRONG
To close, each host shares a tangible mini fitness goal for the rest of the year—from rebuilding strength after surgery, staying consistent with step goals during seasonal shifts, to taking up Muay Thai. It’s about moving forward, regardless of life stage.
WRAP-UP & CALL TO OUR COMMUNITY
The hosts thank listeners for their questions and reinforce the value of open, real conversations in the Get Sculpted community. You’re invited to submit questions for the next Ask Us Anything, share the episode online, and keep connecting with women who want more out of fitness (and life).
