Follow us for more health advice: drink water and hide your feet unless somebody’s paying extra. 😂 This week, Autumn and Donald are talking about quitting culture— and whether quitting is actually always the bad thing we’ve been taught it is. Because there’s a BIG difference between giving up the second something gets uncomfortable… and realizing that a relationship, job, workout, friendship, lifestyle, or version of yourself simply isn’t working anymore. And sometimes? Staying is actually the bigger form of quitting. 🎧 Summary Someone suggested Autumn and Donald bring an expert onto the podcast to discuss why younger generations supposedly “quit everything.” Their response? Fuck an expert. Let’s talk about it. 😂 And it turns into a much bigger conversation than expected. When does quitting mean you lack discipline — and when does walking away mean you’re finally being honest with yourself? Autumn talks about the rule she gave Dom growing up: if you join the team, you finish the season. You don’t walk away halfway through when other people are depending on you. But once that commitment is fulfilled? You absolutely get to decide it isn’t for you anymore. That opens the door to relationships. Why can you date ten people and nobody calls you a quitter when those relationships end… but the second a marriage ends, suddenly someone “gave up”? They talk about the uncomfortable reality that sometimes staying in the wrong relationship, job, friendship, or life situation means you’ve actually quit pursuing the life you want. But there’s another side to it. Sometimes things are just hard. Three days into a nutrition plan does not mean it “isn’t aligned.” Wednesday of your first week of workouts might not be the moment to decide it isn’t for you. And being uncomfortable doesn’t automatically mean something is toxic. Sometimes you need to stick around long enough to get good at the thing before you get to experience the joy of overcoming it. They get into paying your dues, Autumn wanting to back out of HYROX after already committing, changing workout programs without abandoning fitness altogether, Donald’s decision to stop being vegan after realizing part of the reason he stayed was because of what other people might think, and why a commitment involving other people carries a different weight than one you made only to yourself. And then… **boundaries enter the chat.** 👀 Both Autumn and Donald believe in boundaries. They also think we may have reached a point where some people use the word *boundary* to avoid conflict, uncomfortable conversations, responsibility, or anything they simply don’t want to do. Donald brings up a recent friendship that still hasn’t recovered months after a disagreement — which leads to a surprisingly nuanced conversation about the difference between setting a genuine boundary and trying to control the entire situation by labeling everything that makes you uncomfortable as one. So… when should you quit? When should you stay? How long do you have to give something a chance before you can honestly say, *“I tried this, and it’s not for me”*? And maybe the better question isn’'t "Am I quitting?” Maybe it’s: “What exactly did I commit to — and am I still honoring that commitment by staying?” This one might make you rethink a few things you’ve walked away from… and a few things you’re still holding onto.

Everything’s Perfect Except... Nothing About This Case Adds Up

No Phone a Friend this week. Just a real conversation about midlife, purpose, and what happens when the decade that defined you quietly ends. Donald admits live on air that he might be having a midlife crisis…and Autumn realizes she may be right there with him. What follows is one of their most honest conversations yet: the end of the Beachbody era, losing the version of life where 20,000 people knew your name, rebuilding your identity when the thing that defined you changes, and wondering whether this chapter is “starting over” or actually a rebirth. They get into the weird post-pandemic feeling that never completely went away, social media turning from something fun into a full-time production studio, doom-scrolling instead of doing the uncomfortable thing, and comparing yourself to people whose entire job is making their life look effortless. Donald talks about being 20+ programs deep and suddenly going blank while cueing workouts, wondering if he’s already said everything there is to say. Autumn shares the moment ChatGPT stopped helping her write beverage copy long enough to basically ask, “Where is the joy in your life?” — and yes, apparently the answer included buying herself flowers. Oh, and before any of this, Autumn unloaded 2,200 pounds of beverage cans from a semi-truck at 8:30 in the morning, with no ramp, in full hair and makeup, while setting up a tripod to film the whole thing. Because entrepreneur life.  Maybe it’s a midlife crisis. Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s realizing that the life you worked so hard to build isn’t supposed to stay exactly the same forever. Or maybe it’s a rebirth. 🎙 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — 2,200 lbs of cans. No ramp. Full makeup.

Everything’s Perfect Except… We’re Having a Midlife Crisis

Donald is back!

Everything's Perfect Except...Family Secrets, Workplace Crushes & Bugs in Our Food

Autumn is joined by her longtime friend Natalie, who is taking over Donald's chair for the episode. After 15 years of friendship, these two have stories. Autumn and Natalie rewind to the beginning of their 15-year friendship, when Autumn approached Natalie at the gym to tell her she could lift heavier. One conversation later, they discovered they had more in common than expected, and before long they were inseparable. Traveling, going out, and making the kind of memories that only seem possible before toddlers and early bedtimes enter the picture. Now they're both in their 40s, but they're experiencing motherhood from completely different sides. Autumn had Dom at 28 and now has a 17-year-old, while Natalie became a mom at 40 and is currently deep in toddler life. They get candid about how dramatically parenthood changes your identity, your schedule, your relationship, your energy and even something as simple as going to the grocery store. Natalie shares the realities of childbirth, postpartum recovery, having a colicky baby and the emotional weight behind deciding whether she truly wants a second child. That leads to a bigger conversation about the "one and done" stigma, finances, support systems, and whether having another child simply to provide a sibling is worth becoming a depleted parent. Autumn also reflects on wanting another child after Dom, considering fostering, entering perimenopause earlier than expected, and why life ultimately took her in another direction. Then the conversation turns to where Autumn's drive really came from. Raised by a single father in a working-class family, she started working at 14 to help pay for the dance lessons and competition expenses she wanted. Looking back, she can see how having to figure things out for herself so young helped create the relentless "find a way" mentality that followed her into entrepreneurship. And because these two can't stay serious for too long, they finish with memories of spontaneous Vegas road trips, late-night chicken fingers, sleeping with food in the bed and the now-iconic story of Natalie arriving at LAX with black beans falling out of her hair.
