Episode 58: Fitness, Motherhood, and Working Smarter, Not Harder With Aisha Zaza

In this episode, I am joined by Aisha Zaza, a macros coach with nearly two decades of experience in the fitness world. Aisha’s goal is to help women build better habits, live healthier lives, and feel stronger and more confident.

Aisha opens up about how motherhood surprised her in the best ways, and how she’s now in the best shape of her life after two kids. We chat about mental health and her struggle with antepartum depression and pregnancy insomnia, why having time for yourself is so important, and the reality that sometimes you can’t do it all (and that’s totally okay)!


We dive into Aisha’s journey from CrossFit to (begrudgingly) falling in love with running, her game-changing approach to meal prep and macros, and why she believes working smarter, not harder is the best strategy.

NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @meredit NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @meredith_costumes of @palmacolectiva 🎤 

Episode 69: From Hollywood Costume Designer to Wellness Founder: Meredith Markworth-Pollack on Burnout, Healing, & Starting Over 🙏 

In this episode, I’m joined by Meredith Markworth-Pollack, founder of holistic wellness space, Palma Colectiva. Meredith spent almost two decades as a costume designer on shows like Gossip Girl, Reign, Hart of Dixie, and Dynasty. After facing major industry burnout, she decided to uproot her life, move to Santa Barbara, and start from scratch in the wellness space. 👗 

We chat about success not being enough, struggling with multiple forms of grief, and “wellness” becoming a popular buzzword. Meredith shares the ups and downs of starting and maintaining a business and how there isn’t only one “right” healing modality for someone. She shares about divorce, creating retreats for women, and how listening to herself and choosing health changed everything. 🕊️ 

Whether you are seeking clarity, community, or well-being, I believe you will benefit from this conversation that proves vulnerability really is a super power! 👏🏻
