Elevated Life: Real Wellness and Transformation

We are launching live at home group fitness classes starting April 13th. Two 30 minute classes every week on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8 AM Pacific. No gym. No fancy equipment. Just you showing up in your space and moving with us. What we get into: How the classes work 30 minutes live twice a week with full replay access so you can do them on your schedule Why we start with bodyweight mobility Pil...

We got a comment on our protein episode that said there is no quote unquote your truth there is only the truth. That one line lit a fire. We are unpacking how personal truth your lived experience your body signals your results got twisted into opinion and now if you disagree with someone you are not just wrong you are a liar. What we get into: The comment that sparked it all and why it hit so hard...

Bullying is not just kids being mean. It is a symptom of deep insecurity and fragile identity learned at home long before it shows up at school. The adult bullying in our community is creating the next generation of bullies and pointing fingers at the school will not fix what starts in the living room. What we get into: The real root of bullying: insecurity, emotional neglect, and modeling dominan...

We’re in the middle of switching things up with our training — Clint’s dialing in mobility and core while keeping some HIIT spice, and Johnna’s scaling back heavy lifts to chase real body control and hip flow. No fluff, just what’s working (and what’s not) after months of heavy compounds and testing limits. What we get into: Clint’s 3 heavy lifting days (mostly compounds, 4–6 sets of 4) + 3 HIIT s...

We’re calling out the pattern we see everywhere in health and fitness: people handing their bodies over to some “expert” who claims to have the one true way — while ignoring what their own system is screaming. This isn’t about bashing good information. It’s about recognizing when you’ve stopped trusting yourself. What we get into: The childhood programming that wires us to see authority = safety a...

We just hit episode 100, and we’re taking a raw, unfiltered look back at how this all started — Johnna recording solo in a literal closet (talking to herself and hating every second), Clint joining in, and both of us slowly dropping every mask until we were willing to bleed the real, uncomfortable shit out loud. What we get into: The early “here’s 5 tips” vanilla episodes (salt, sun, breathwork) v...

We’re unpacking the sneaky beliefs that quietly convince you “people like me don’t do that” or “it’s too late” — and how other people’s unhealed fears get projected onto you without them even realizing it. Most of the time it’s not malice. It’s just their own shit leaking out. What we get into: The four main roots: family patterns, cultural conditioning, your own past failures, and other people’s...

Life's felt heavier than usual lately — stress piling on, questions about purpose creeping in — so we're unpacking what happens when you actively seek out fun and joy in the middle of it all, even if it means stepping way outside the routine. What we get into: The Coeur d'Alene bar hop that started with zero expectations and turned into people-watching gold The RV lot adventure where every rig spa...

The last few weeks have felt like a glitch for everyone we've talked to — not just basic life stuff, but big, compounded chaos that's leaving people buzzing and overwhelmed. We're right there in it too, so we're breaking down the real-time mess and what we're reaching for to move through. What we get into: The family blow-up that ended a 26-year friendship and the ugly cry that followed Clint's ve...

Have you ever been dead certain someone else was the problem — jealous, controlling, insecure — only to realize it hit a little too close? We're unpacking the unconscious defense mechanism that protects your ego by outsourcing your own shit. What we get into: The wedding story where Johnna kept asking "are you okay?" every 30 seconds — and what it revealed about who wasn't actually okay The classi...

We’re mid-cleanse right now, prepping hard for the March full moon tincture, and Johnna’s on her soapbox because this topic keeps getting buried like it’s gross or rare. It’s not. Parasites are normal, ancient, and part of everyday life whether you want to admit it or not. What we get into: The normal ways you’re picking them up — dogs you kiss, dirt you garden in barefoot, public restrooms, sex,...

There's a chasm that opened up and you didn't hear it crack. No earthquake, no warning—just a divide so wide you can't jump it, can't bridge it, can't walk around it. On one side are the people still waiting to be ready, still looking for shortcuts, still managing everyone else's feelings instead of their own. On the other side are the people who climbed down into the depths and clawed their way b...

We're past the New Year's motivation phase and the stopping has started. You gained momentum, felt strong, saw the light come back in your eyes—and then you quit. Now the guilt and shame are piling up and restarting feels a thousand times harder than the first time. We're breaking down the real reasons people stop, what happens when you fire your coach three months into a reverse diet, and why "al...

The Epstein files dropped and the feminine rage is real. But where's the divine masculine? We're diving into why nothing will probably change, what happens when emotion drives everything without logic to ground it, and the uncomfortable truth about how we're all being played. This isn't our usual episode. This is raw, unfiltered processing of what it means when the evidence finally surfaces and mo...

We just finished a 12-week retatrutide cycle and we're telling you everything—the weight loss, the side effects, why Johnna stopped early, and the honest truth about GLP-1s that nobody's saying. This isn't advice. This is what happened when we became our own guinea pigs with a peptide that everyone's talking about but few people truly understand. What we get into: What retatrutide actually is and...

We're coming out of a year that asked people to slow down, shed, and let things die. Now we're stepping into a year that has zero patience for hesitation. The fire horse doesn't ask if you're ready — it amplifies who you already are. What we get into: What snake energy actually looked like in 2025 — the shedding, the death of old identities, and the discomfort nobody could quite name The personal...

We're pulling back the curtain on REBUILT — our program that's been rebuilt multiple times to cut through the noise and give you what actually works. This isn't a beach body program, a 12-week challenge, or your next dopamine hit. It's the foundation for the rest of your life. What we get into: Why we stripped REBUILT down and rebuilt it again — what we kept, what we cut, and what drove that decis...

Why do we keep looking for saviors instead of trusting ourselves? From fitness influencers to manifestation coaches to wellness practitioners, we've been conditioned since childhood to believe someone else has our answers. This episode challenges that pattern head on. What we get into: How we're taught from a young age not to trust ourselves — and what that quietly sets up for the rest of our live...

We keep believing that violence will end violence and hate will end hate. It never has and it never will—it only multiplies on itself. As humans, we've already run this experiment over and over. Different eras, different flags, same outcome. At some point, ignorance stops being an excuse. We say we want peace, unity, and love. But when fear gets activated, we start to blame, punish, dominate, and...

The Practical Side of Lifting Heavy - Five Days a Week and Fixing My Relationship with Food Description: This is the follow-up to Johnna's 35-year anorexia story—the practical side everyone's been asking about. How did she actually program her workouts when she went all-in five days a week? What does eating look like now after decades of restriction and bingeing? Is she nervous about gaining the w...

Episode 86: My 35-Year Battle with Anorexia, Yo-Yo Dieting, and How Lifting Weights Finally Fixed My Broken Metabolism Description: Skinny talk is trending on social media—Gen Z's rebranded version of anorexia—and it's triggering as hell. Young women in their early 20s are promoting severe calorie restriction, telling everyone to avoid lifting weights because it "adds mass," chasing that emaciated...

We're breaking down the words that make us cringe—not because they're bad or wrong, but because of how they're used now. Safe space, toxic, healing, triggered, cutting people off—all co-opted, overused, and weaponized by people who haven't actually done the work. If you're constantly saying everyone else is toxic and you need a safe space from discomfort, this one's gonna sting a little. But that'...

We're tackling the 15 most-searched fitness questions on Google—in order—and giving you the real answers instead of the bullshit the industry wants you to believe. Spoiler alert: if you're Googling these questions, you should probably hire a trainer. But until you do, we're breaking down what actually works versus what keeps you stuck in the start-stop cycle forever. What we get into: How many day...

We're not doctors—we're people who've done the work, studied the research, and walked alongside others through transformation. This one's about how healthcare evolved from herbalists and midwives into the medical industrial complex we have today, and no, this isn't conspiracy theory. This is documented history that you need to understand if you're going to take your power back. What we get into: P...

It's the second week of January, and if you're well into your transformation journey or just starting out, you need to hear this: the fitness industry doesn't always have your best interest in mind. It's big business, and naturally they want you to keep coming back. We're breaking down eight lies you've probably heard (or believed) that set you up to quit, feel like a failure, or stay stuck in the...
