Welcome to Empowered Radio.

I am your host, Emma Montgomery, an online nutrition and fitness coach and creator of Shred

with M. Each week we'll talk all things nutrition, training, and mindset. You'll be able to take my tips and strategies

and apply what you learn to see results with both your body and your mind. So without further ado,
