i grew up outside of detroit feeling like the brokest girl in every room. i was told i had two options, i could either become a doctor or lawyer. at the age of 19, i started a fitness page that almost nobody in my life supported, quit the dance team, didn’t enroll for my last year of college, and watched $70,000 in student loans turn into $178,000 at a 9.9% interest rate while i figured the rest out.then i got the thing i said i wanted. 6.5 million followers. and i sat there feeling shallow about it, feeling empty about my content because somewhere along the way i forgot why i started.this is the whole story. the trip to new york at 20 that i should never have taken. the conversation that made me start the page. a pandemic closing the gyms. all while hitting a million followers and feeling like i was performing 24/7. turning 29 made me really reflect and ask myself if i was actually fulfilled.#inbetweenpodcastt #mirandacohen #mystory #inbetweenpodcastt #podcastshow #womenspodcast #mirandacohen #themessymiddle #onedecisionaway #mystory #herstory #studentloandebt #studentloans #debtfreejourney #fitnessinfluencer #contentcreator #buildingabrand #womeninbusiness #selfconfidence #takeaction #personalgrowthchapters0:00 the cold open0:41 one decision away from a normal life1:44 the brokest girl in every room3:39 "you have two options. doctor or lawyer"5:19 college, add, and the gym at 12am8:32 the conversation that changed everything9:59 starting the page, and nobody supporting it12:21 the trip to new york at 2013:49 taking ownership instead of carrying it16:05 sometimes your friends are your biggest haters17:16 covid, and $70,000 turning into $178,00019:00 rewriting the why behind the journey23:04 tampa, and hitting a million followers25:36 the ego years, and 6.5 million followers26:35 "i thought i'd be married with two kids by now"27:39 turning 29 and waking up29:19 the messy middle
there's a version of you that got you everything you have right now. the job, the body, the business, the money, the relationship. that version worked hard, fought through a lot, and deserves credit. but that version is also the reason you're stuck.everything you want next requires someone you haven't become yet. not more effort from the person you already are. a different person. one who charges more because they believe they're worth more. one who lets go of money instead of hoarding it out of fear. one who stops isolating because grinding alone is the only thing that ever worked. one who can hold a relationship, a team, a bigger life, without shrinking to fit the old version.lo silver has rebuilt herself more times than anyone i know, and she does it on purpose. this conversation is about how. not the tactics. the identity underneath them. what you have to let go of, what you have to start believing, and why the discomfort of outgrowing yourself is the whole point.if you've been working hard and can't figure out why you're not further along, it's not your work ethic. it's that you're still being the person who got you here.lo silver:instagram @losilver_miranda:instagram @mirandacohenfitchapters00:00 who got you here can't take you further04:32 you're worth what you decide you're worth09:06 broke is a mindset first12:42 let go of money to stop fearing it16:07 the cell is open. you're still sitting in it.17:19 your hand is still yours to play25:08 independence becomes isolation29:42 money doesn't make a man38:05 want a traditional woman? afford one.46:28 a real partner makes you bigger53:38 see yourself as the sun first55:10 you're undercharging for an old you1:00:47 success is who you lift with you1:03:25 who do you become to retire your mom?1:06:43 write the future you as real1:11:09 you can't stay who you had to become1:12:28 if you're the smartest, you're the ceiling1:15:16 stop learning. start doing.1:17:47 only take advice from where you're going1:21:21 run toward yourself
i started posting ten years ago to inspire one person to start their fitness journey. then i got stuck at 300k for three years and people started asking if my time was done. so i chased a number.one video of me putting on lip gloss in the gym mirror went mega viral. 300k to 500k in a few months. and the audience that came with it was almost entirely men. everyone made me feel like what i built didn't count because of who was watching. instead of fixing it, i leaned in. the angles, the winks, the short shorts. i told myself my value was the number by my name.i never did onlyfans. i was offended every time someone assumed i did. but when i look back at my content, it said something different than who i actually was.about a year and a half ago i woke up. i felt lost and purposeless and i realized why women didn't follow me: i wasn't giving them anything. this episode is what i wish someone had pulled me aside and told me. stop focusing on going viral. get back to why you started.🗣️ to why i started my podcastt 🫶🏼i started this journey a decade ago, becoming an entrepreneur at 19 years old. and for most of that decade, the gym wasn’t just what i did, it was who i was. my entire personality, my content, my identity, all built around fitness. over those years i’ve learned so much about the woman i desire to become, but more than anything i’ve learned how to persevere when it would’ve been so much easier to quit and go back to a normal job. because the truth is, so much of my story happened off camera. the inbetween moments of losing brand deals and not being able to pay my rent. faking confidence on camera just to do my job online. handling people from my past not supporting me. sacrificing relationships in my 20s to make my career happen. those are the moments that shaped who i am today.for a long time i felt too extra sharing the real stuff. but i want this platform to feel like the conversations i’d have with my mom or my friends off camera. i think we all crave listening to something we actually relate to, and i don’t want this to be another podcast that just talks about success. this is something you can turn on when you’re by yourself, or with your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife, and still be talking about the episode after it’s finished. the goal is a homey feel while talking about the real inbetween topics we tend to keep to ourselves.so this is my invitation to you. no matter where you are in life, no matter what season you’re in, no matter what your body looks like or how far you feel from the person you want to become, it is not too late for you. the in between is not the part of your story to rush through. it’s the part that makes you. i hope this podcast feels like sitting on the couch with a friend who actually gets it. episode one is out now, and i promise you’ll leave feeling a little less alone in your in between. see you there:)👉🏼 follow me on instagram @mirandacohenfit--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------chapters00:00 cold open00:38 welcome to the in between01:12 why going viral ruined me01:54 i started this to inspire one person02:11 stuck at 300k for three years02:39 "miranda, your page isn't growing"03:27 success shows you people's true colors04:00 chasing a number04:19 the lip gloss video04:49 300k to 500k in a few months05:03 attracting the wrong audience05:26 i played with the angles06:00 the onlyfans comments06:40 social media changes your perception of reality07:10 it felt good to be validated07:29 i never did onlyfans07:49 i went numb to what i was posting08:18 changing my content08:49 6.5 million followers, and i lost some09:16 why women didn't follow me10:09 i don't regret it10:46 focus on serving, not going viral11:25 it became about me11:48 my definition of confidence12:50 what i wish someone told me13:00 outro
i used to think confidence meant believing in yourself. now i think it's something else. it's that uncomfortable feeling you can't ignore, and deciding to move on it anyway, even when you don't believe in yourself yet.in this episode of the inbetween podcastt, i sit down with my videographer gary to talk about what confidence actually is and where it comes from. i get into the voice in my head that says "who do you think you are?" when i started making talking videos, hitting a million followers and feeling nothing, not being able to pay rent with millions of followers next to my name, losing a ten year working partnership in january, and posting every single day anyway, and filming myself through three rhinoplasties when i felt my ugliest.we also talk about false confidence, why people stay stuck living off an old high, letting go of blame, failing fast, and the part nobody shows you online: the team behind the content.if you're not happy with where you are, you have the power to change it. that's the whole episode.new episodes biweekly. subscribe so you don't miss the next one.#inbetweenpodcastt #podcastclips #newpodcast #womenwhopodcast #podcastforwomen #realconversations #unfilteredconversations #confidencecoach #buildingconfidence #selfworth #womenempoweringwomen #identityshift #growthera #becomingyourself #innerwork #fitnessjourney #gymgirl #beyondthegym #healthylifestyle #strongwomen #fitnessmotivation #bodyimage #balancedliving #contentcreator #personalbrand #creatorjourney #buildinginpublic #socialmediatips #womeninbusiness #creatorlife -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------chapters0:00 you have the power to change it1:07 welcome to in between2:15 what confidence actually means3:46 "who do you think you are?"5:24 when the people who know you judge you7:21 confidence comes from solving problems8:02 confusing attention with confidence9:46 hitting a million followers12:16 you're in control of your life13:36 false confidence and living on an old high17:06 why people stay stuck19:21 dropping the blame20:54 move fast, fail fast22:57 losing a ten year partnership25:42 three rhinoplasties and posting through it27:47 what success stories leave out30:35 losing yourself trying to be someone else32:49 millions of followers and couldn't pay rent34:38 nobody does it alone37:43 wrap up
