This week, Lee gets real about gym anxiety, forged PE notes, and how it only took eight years, three trainers, and six different gyms to finally feel (kind of) okay lifting heavy things in public.

From dodging school sports like the plague to deadlifting like a delicate princess, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt out of place in the gym—and needed permission to just show up anyway.

Expect:– Gym bros doing the most– PTs that felt more like situationships– Why the queer gym experience hits different– And redefining what “success” looks like (hint: showing up counts)

💪🏽 Come for the trauma, stay for the tension release.

If you've ever felt too anxious to enter the weights section, this one’s for you.
