In this episode, I discuss the common feeling of "I'm in a funk!" and how to get out of it.   We all have periods of time where we feel off or in a funk.  The part to know, however, is that you can teach yourself how to recover faster and feel better faster vs. staying stuck.   I believe feeling low/down can happen for several different reasons, and it's helpful to know what triggered your funk in...

Episode 18: Breaking Through Your Biggest Fears With Starting Something New 02.08.2021

Episode 16: You Have To Do The Work To Make Your Dreams A Reality - Stop Overthinking and Procrastinating & Take Action 19.07.2021

In this episode, I talk about a concept called the knowing-doing gap.   Most of us know exactly what we need to do to make something happen, but yet we simply don't do it.  It's not a knowledge gap, it's an execution gap.  The book "12 Week Year" by Brian P Moran & Michael Lennington breaks this down so well   This is why so many Americans are obese despite the surplus of information around health...

Episode 13: The Fear of Failure - Mindset & Tactics to Grow Beyond Your Comfort Zone 28.06.2021

"But what if I fail?"..... The only sure way to fail is not to start.   In this episode, I discuss the "fear of failure" that holds so many of us back.

In this episode, I chat about the missing pieces that often go unnoticed for a joyful fitness routine. Success is 95% MINDSET, 5% strategy, so we need to focus more on how we are showing up each day, not just the workout itself. Personal development is key for this.
