For years, Iโve shown up online sharing my passion for strength training, helping women build confidence in and out of the gym and encouraging them to pursue becoming their strongest selves. But behind the workouts, the coaching and the business, thereโs been another journey Iโve been navigating quietly.โฃ
โฃ
In this episode, Iโm opening up about my health diagnoses, how theyโve impacted my life and some of the challenges Iโve faced behind the scenes. Iโm also sharing my thoughts, fears, and emotions surrounding fertility, motherhood and the uncertainty that can come with not knowing what the future holds.โฃ
โฃ
This isnโt an episode filled with answers or a perfectly wrapped-up story. Itโs an honest conversation about navigating unexpected health challenges, managing the emotions that come with them, grieving expectations, holding onto hope and redefining what strength truly means when life doesnโt go according to plan.โฃ
โฃ
My hope is that by sharing my story, anyone facing their own health struggles, fertility concerns or difficult season of life feels a little less alone๐๐ป.โฃ
โฃ
Because sometimes strength isnโt found in pushing harder- itโs found in allowing yourself to be seen, embracing uncertainty and continuing to move forward one day at a time.โฃ

A message from Nikki๐๐ปโฃ
โฃ
โHello, my name is Nikki Melligan. I am a Certified Personal Trainer (2002), Inside Flow Yoga Teacher (2024) & a Level 2 Restorative Yoga Teacher (2025). My passion as a Personal Trainer is working with clients to help nurture their belief in themselves and that they can do anything that they put their minds to no matter how big or small๐๐ป. โฃ
โฃ
After being an athlete for two decades and an avid Crossfitter for five years, my belief was that rest was unproductive and that I was being lazy by not doing anything. My days would be filled with more things than I had hours in the day for and I wouldnโt stop until 5 minutes before bedtime. I would then struggle to fall asleep at night as my body didnโt know what rest was or how to down regulate my nervous system. I would then wake up in the morning exhausted and start all over again. โฃ
โฃ
In 2020 I found Yoga/Meditation and everything in my life changed for me. I finally was able to have a wonderful nights sleep and my body finally experienced deep rest in a way that I never knew was possible๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ. โฃ
โฃ
With the knowledge and experience I embody from the fitness world and the Restorative Yoga world, I am now able to look at these two modalities with a more balanced approach. The common theme with both of these modalities is they create mental resiliency to face the daily challenges of the human experience.โฃ
โฃ
I am very much looking forward to working with the Strength Squad and meeting the wonderful community that Mia has created. Iโm a firm believer that you can always do more then you think you can and I will always remind everyone of thatโจ. โฃ
โฃ
See you soonโบ๏ธ.โโฃ
โฃ
You will see her coaching inside the Lifting Club as well as working with clients 1:1๐๐ป. โฃ

Are we really still doing this?โฃ
โฃ
I remember when I was deep in my eating disorder, I genuinely believed that quote.โฃ
โฃ
But after years of healing, growing, and rebuilding my relationship with myself, Iโve learned that nothing could be further from the truth๐
๐ปโโ๏ธ.โฃ
โฃ
My eating disorder kept me stuck- stuck in a cycle that felt impossible to escape.โฃ
โฃ
It consumed my thoughts, dictated my choices, and stole so much of my energy and joy.โฃ
โฃ
Everything started to change when I shifted my focus away from being smaller and toward becoming stronger. I began fueling my body, healing my relationship with food, and learning to appreciate myself for more than my appearance.โฃ
โฃ
And thatโs when I discovered something far more powerful than being โskinnyโ:โฃ
โฃ
Feeling strong.โฃ
Feeling capable.โฃ
Feeling confident.โฃ
โฃ
Because when you start focusing on what your body can do instead of obsessing over what it looks like, everything changes๐๐ป. โฃ

โฃ
Hereโs 6 common reasons as to why๐๐ป โฃ
โฃ
1. Youโre relying on motivation alone. โฃ
2. You keep trying to do everything perfectly. โฃ
3. Your goals are unrealistic for the season of life youโre in. โฃ
4. Youโre stuck in an all or nothing mindset. โฃ
5. You have zero accountability or support. โฃ
6. Youโre only focused on outcomes instead of identity shifting. โฃ
โฃ
Consistency isnโt about doing everything perfectly- itโs about frequency and repetition. Itโs about continuing to show-up even when life is life-ing in order to create long-term, sustainable progress๐ช๐ป.โฃ

A little bit about meโฆ Iโm Mia (pronounced me-ah), and Iโve been in the health and fitness coaching space for over 10 years now, which honestly feels crazy to say๐คฏโฃ. โฃ
โฃ
After studying Kinesiology, I knew I wanted to pursue a career that combined my love for movement, science, and helping people which, ultimately led me to starting my own health and fitness coaching business๐๐ปโฃ. โฃ
โฃ
Along the way, I also experienced my own struggles with disordered thoughts around food and exercise. When I was introduced to weightlifting, it quickly became my safe haven and happy place. Thatโs when I realized I wanted to help women shift their focus from simply losing weight to lifting weights- so they can become their strongest selves physically, mentally, and emotionally๐ช๐ปโฃ. โฃ
โฃ
There have been lots of twists, turns, pivots, and moments of trial and error throughout this journey, but weโre still here moving along๐
โฃ. โฃ
โฃ
So with that being said, every like, comment, share, and DM truly means the world to me. Supporting a small business in any way helps me continue spreading this message and reaching more women๐ซถ๐ปโฃ. โฃ
