201. From watching to doing: how Karolina went from doubting herself to lifting, walking, and thriving with BBM


Listen Later

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Karolina D’Angelo, a BBM member who went from watching on the sidelines to fully committing to her fitness journey. After years of starting and stopping, she finally took the leap—and what started as a simple walking challenge turned into a complete mindset and lifestyle shift.


We dive into what changed this time, why she stuck with it, how she made time despite having a toddler, and how she moved past the excuses that kept her stuck for years. Karolina shares what it was like going from doing nothing to lifting multiple times a week and how that transformation has impacted not just her body, but her confidence, energy, and even her approach to work and motherhood.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Making fitness fit into mom life: how Karolina found time to work out, even with an active toddler constantly by her side.
  • The shift from overthinking to action: what finally pushed her to stop watching and start doing.
  • Why home workouts work: how training at home with accountability made fitness sustainable for her after years of failed gym memberships.
  • The mental transformation: how strength training has changed not just her body, but the way she sees herself and her capabilities.


If you’ve ever told yourself you’re too busy, too tired, or not “the kind of person” who sticks with fitness, Karolina’s story will show you what’s possible.
