Episode 7: Fitness vs Fit This Whole Pizza in My Mouth

🎙️ Episode 7: Fitness vs. Fit This Whole Pizza

Badass Thriving Podcast with Caressa Dunphy, MS, RD

We’ve all been there — chasing perfection like a gym rat with macros taped to the fridge, or burning it all down with a “screw it, I’ll start Monday” pizza binge. Neither one is thriving.

This episode is about the messy middle — the gray space between rigid restriction and reckless rebellion. That’s where food freedom actually lives. Where joy and discipline can sit at the same damn table. Where pizza isn’t the villain, and balance isn’t lukewarm — it’s intentional.

We’ll laugh, we’ll get real, and we’ll break down how to build a badass life with crust (your non-negotiables), sauce (your structure), and toppings (your joy). Because thriving isn’t built on perfect weeks — it’s built on the real ones.

🍕 Top 7 Takeaways

🍕 All-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuck in shame and inconsistency.

🍕 Pizza is not the enemy — restriction is.

🍕 A sustainable strategy includes the foods you love, not just the “healthy” ones.

🍕 Your health is like a pizza: crust = non-negotiables, sauce = structure, toppings = joy.

🍕 Micro-commitments > massive overhauls. Small actions create real momentum.

🍕 You can’t build food freedom if you still believe you have to “earn” your food.

🍕 Balance isn’t passive — it’s intentional. You get both the pizza and the progress.
