The Through Line

In today’s episode, I'm sitting down with Laini Gibson, my nutrition and fitness coach, for a conversation that’s part science lesson, part mindset shift.

Laini opens up about her own personal health journey: the disordered eating that accompanied a chase for a body she didn’t know how to build, the two years she spent studying exercise science in college to lay the foundation she’d been seeking, and what she’s learned coaching hundreds of women from confusion to sustainable clarity in nutrition and fitness. 

We get into why most women are under-muscled and overfed, the real difference between working out and training, how tracking macros is a tool for learning your body’s language (not a cage), and why she believes muscle is the key to the results women actually want.

This is my first-ever episode with a guest. It felt undeniably right for that first guest to be her.

What is The Through Line?

Most women were never taught how our own bodies actually work. So we outsource that knowledge to whoever is loudest. The Through Line is a long form interview podcast for women who are done outsourcing.

This isn’t just about the body. Each episode is a real conversation with a guest who has earned the right to speak on their subject, through years of study, practice, or lived experience. Together we cover the full terrain of wellbeing: the mechanics and mystery of the body, our emotions, aesthetics, fertility and hormones, western medicine and alternative modalities, what it means to get to know yourself while still becoming, the exploration of spirituality and femininity, movement, self-limiting beliefs, and the quiet architecture of a sovereign life. Underneath every conversation lies the same foundation: the construction of that internal compass that guides someone’s choices from deep resonance.

Hosted by Samantha Schreiber, a former lawyer turned commercial real estate professional and fitness instructor who spent years questioning her habits, her ideals, and where she was putting her energy, until she was forced to seek out her own answers.
