Hey Reader,

If you’ve been told your pain is “just physical”…
But deep down you know there’s more to the story —

You’re not crazy.
You’re just stuck in a system that ignores the nervous system entirely.

Let me be clear:

You don’t get strong just by strengthening muscles.

You get strong by:

• building safety
• rebuilding trust
• progressing load in a way your system can actually tolerate

Because strength is biological, psychological, and behavioral.

And if no one is addressing all three?
You’re always going to feel like something’s missing.

Quick story:

One of my clients, Stefanie, had a pelvic fracture after falling off a hors a few years back.

On paper, she was “healed.”
But in real life? She was scared.

Every step felt like a threat.

Her mind constantly second-guessed her body.
And the real issue wasn’t mobility or strength — it was fear. Nervous system sensitivity. A total lack of trust.

She’d seen multiple doctors and PTs.
None of them addressed the psychological piece.

They gave her exercises — but not the coaching, not the reassurance, not the space to talk through what her brain and body were still holding onto.

We spent a lot of time — not just training — but having honest, layered conversations about her fear.

Because if you can’t be honest with your provider about what’s going on in your head…
How can they really help your body?

This isn’t just physical rehab.
It’s psychological too.
And without that lens, most people stay stuck way longer than they need to.

So what was actually missing for her?

➡️ Nervous system support​
Pain is a protective signal — and your system needs to feel safe before it lets go of it.
This doesn’t happen with random exercises.
It happens with strategy, structure, and trust.

➡️ Behavior change and coaching​
Knowing what to do ≠ doing it.
Especially when you’re tired, scared, or unsure.
That’s where real coaching comes in — not just for reps and sets, but for the emotional stuff that keeps women stuck.

➡️ The right dose of challenge​
Most women I work with have either been overprotected or overloaded.
They’ve never been given the right input at the right time for their body.

Stefanie's progress didn’t happen because we ‘strengthened her muscles’ — it happened because we rebuilt all three pillars: biology, psychology, and behavior.

This is why Rebuild Coaching exists.

It’s not just a workout program.
It’s a full framework designed to support the real you — physically, mentally, emotionally.

✅ Strength progression
✅ Pain science & nervous system safety
✅ Behavior change support
✅ Real-time adjustments based on your actual life

Because you’re not weak.
You’re not broken.
You’re just under-supported — and you deserve better.

P.S. That client with the pelvic fracture? She’s not just walking confidently now. She’s hiking. Lifting. Laughing. Moving freely. She even started her own photography business. Not because we had the “best exercises”… But because we built the trust her system needed to let go of fear. That’s the power of coaching. That’s the power of a real plan.​ ​​​ ​Unsubscribe · Preferences​
