Summary:
In this episode, Chase and Chris sit down with Jillian, a dedicated mom, bus driver, and fitness enthusiast who has completely transformed her life. Jillian shares her journey from struggling with weight gain due to fast food and restrictive dieting to finding sustainable success through strength training and mindset shifts.
She talks about the moment she decided to change—getting out of breath tying her shoes—and how she went from dreading exercise to squatting 175 lbs with confidence. Jillian explains how she balances fitness with her demanding schedule, the importance of setting realistic goals, and how she overcame the fear of "getting bulky" from weightlifting.
If you’re someone who struggles with consistency, prioritizing yourself, or the all-or-nothing mindset, Jillian’s story will inspire you to keep pushing forward, one step at a time.
