In this episode, Justin and Stacey explore the concept that history doesn't repeat itself but rather rhymes, emphasizing the emotional impact of past experiences on current behaviors and relationships. They discuss the importance of laying down stories rather than pushing them down, the role of therapy and coping mechanisms, and introduce a four-step process for healing. The conversation highlights the significance of building a new identity and moving forward from past traumas.

Key Ideas

• History rhymes, indicating patterns in our lives.
• The unspoken has the most power over us.
• Laying down stories requires intention and action.
• Therapy helps understand the why, but not always the how.
• Coping mechanisms provide temporary relief, not solutions.
• The four-step process involves writing, reading, and breathing through stories.
• Understanding our stories helps in building a new identity.
• Emotional healing is a layered process.
• We must navigate through our past to move forward.
• Identities can be reshaped by changing the narratives we hold.

Listen in as we take you on a wild ride through our fitness escapades and the evolution of our friendship. Stacey spills the beans on her high school days, battling body image and trying to fit into the "Huntington Beach Barbie" mold. Spoiler alert: it didn't work, but it sure makes for a good story!

Meanwhile, Justin tells all about his small-town upbringing and first taste of structured fitness with P90X and CrossFit. Let's just say, he and Tony Horton have a love-hate relationship, and mom still laughs at the "apples to New York City" workout move.

In this episode we explore the question, "What is mindset?" and define it simply as the story that you tell yourself. These stories are built from the words we choose.
