122. Embracing Growth, Chaos, and Authenticity: Real Life Struggles on My 16 Year Fitness Journey


Listen Later

I want to kick off today’s episode by sharing some exciting news - this podcast recently hit 500k downloads, which is a HUGE milestone for me as a podcaster! I really want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for being here (whether this is your first time, or you're a long time listener). I absolutely LOVE getting to show up and connect with you in this way, and I’m very happy my message has resonated with so many of you. I’ve gotten some recent requests to share more about my journey, my challenges, and what my everyday life looks like, so that’s exactly what I’m diving into today.

While I do enjoy sharing snippets of my life on social media,  I’ll never share every single part of my day either - it's not possible, nor is it something I want to do! I want you to understand that I’m a REAL person who struggles with my nutrition, fitness, mental health, and more too - I’m not some unicorn who has it all together and is always kicking ass! My current season of life has been super unpredictable, pretty hectic, and I’ve rarely felt in control with my everyday routine. I’ve also learned to pivot and adjust when necessary, and focus on making progress where I can.

I’ve been on my fitness journey for 16 years now, and I’ve experienced many highs and lows along the way. I’ve learned to embrace growth, chaos, and everything in between, but more than anything, I’ve learned to be authentically ME. I hope this episode shows you that I’m not always motivated, I’m far from perfect, and I’ll never give up on myself - I hope you don’t either, because you’re worth fighting for!

In today’s episode, we cover:

  • Why I enjoy sharing on social media, but I’ll never share every single moment of my day (and you shouldn’t feel like you need to either)
  • Understanding that I’m a real and relatable person who struggles and doesn’t have it all together
  • My current situation of living very ‘day to day’ with unpredictability
  • Learning to pivot and adjust where I’ve needed to on my 16 year fitness journey
  • Helpful habits I try to stick to and/or fall back on as much as possible (no matter how crazy busy life gets)
  • Realizing that life won’t always look this way, or feel quite as chaotic as it does right now
