In this quick-cast, Coach Reid dives into one of the most overlooked but powerful aspects of any health journey: your relationship with yourself.

We often brush off self-love as fluff—but what if it's actually the foundation of lasting strength, both inside and out?

You’ll hear:

• Why the Western world struggles with self-acceptance
• A reframing practice to shift judgment into self-awareness
• How one journaling habit can reveal your inner patterns
• Why mental health impacts every rep, habit, and choice we make

This isn’t a pep talk—it’s a real conversation about building a mindset that actually supports your goals.

“You’ve got to live with you for the rest of your life—let’s make that relationship a good one.”

At 19 years old, Katie was told she’d never have kids—and that she probably wouldn’t live past 39 if she didn’t change something.

Fast forward nearly 20 years, and Katie is about to turn 39. She’s a mom of two, a gym owner, a coach, and healthier than she’s ever been. But the journey hasn’t been easy—or simple.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, Katie opens up about her full health story:

• What it felt like to hit rock bottom at 250 pounds
• How she swung between extremes of binge eating, exercise addiction, and obsession with the scale
• The painful judgment she faced at every stage of her journey
• The moment she decided to fight for something better
• And the lessons she’s learned about what real health actually means

This isn’t a story about perfection—it’s a story about persistence, about rewriting the narrative you’ve been handed, and about finding strength that goes beyond the mirror.

If you’ve ever been told “you can’t,” if you’ve ever felt stuck, or if you’ve wondered whether it’s too late to change—this episode is for you.

👉 Hit play and let Katie’s journey remind you: It’s never too late to believe in yourself, to fight for better, and to write your own story.
