The stories we tell ourselves shape the lives we live. Some push us forward. Others hold us back. But here’s the thing—those stories aren’t set in stone. You can change them.

Welcome to the Strong Within Affirmation Podcast with Chris O’Hearn—mindset coach, personal trainer, and someone who knows firsthand that growth isn’t about waiting for the right moment. It’s about choosing it. Featured on MTV, Chris brings no-nonsense coaching, real-life insight, and the kind of practical wisdom that makes change possible.

In this episode, he gets to the root of why we make excuses—how fear, conditioning, and old beliefs keep us stuck—and how to move past them with purpose. Through affirmations, sharp coaching, and reframing techniques that actually work, you’ll learn how to step out of hesitation and into action.

What you'll take away:

🔹 Why the stories you tell yourself matter—and how to rewrite them. 🔹 How fear and self-doubt keep you playing small. 🔹 Simple, practical ways to turn excuses into momentum. 🔹 How affirmations help rewire your thinking for lasting change.

If you're tired of waiting for things to change and ready to take control, this episode is for you. No more excuses. No perfect timing. Just you, showing up, and doing the work.

Listen now.
