S3EP31 | Breaking the Standards: Macy Pruett Talks Body Image, Confidence & Real Wellness

What if the hardest part of getting healthy isn’t changing your body but changing the way you see yourself?

My conversation with Macy Pruett, certified personal trainer, pre-and postnatal fitness coach, and founder of The Fittest Core, is an honest opportunity for all of us to take a deeper look at the beliefs we carry about body image, confidence, and self-worth. In this episode, Macy and I get real about the struggles so many people face when it comes to fitness and identity, unpacking the myths, pressures, and unrealistic expectations that shape the way we see ourselves.

Macy’s journey into women’s fitness was born out of real life and personal experience. Through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the everyday challenges of motherhood, she created The Fittest Core to help women pursue strength, confidence, and overall wellness without chasing impossible standards. What started from her own needs quickly grew into something that connected deeply with women looking for a healthier and more sustainable approach to fitness and self-care.

Throughout our conversation, we both open up about our own insecurities, struggles with self-image, and the pressure that can come from fitness culture and social media. We talk about how our perspectives on health and body image have evolved through different seasons of life, the work it takes to care for yourself in healthier ways, and why confidence is never one-size-fits-all. When we begin to believe in ourselves differently, it changes the way we show up, not only for ourselves, but for the people we love and the lives we’re building.
