Have a great holiday everyone! Wanted to come at you with a quick episode with some tips to eliminate the anxiety that this holiday often causes so many of us. I hope it serves you in having a wonderful day full of food, family, and all that you're grateful for.

There are some health and fitness coaches who are committed to giving you a workout program and a diet plan and help you lose the body fat and that's great; I'm not here to knock that. But I'm here to change your life, not just your body. And in my experience working with my clients, when you change your life for the better, your body follows suit. I wanted to exemplify this idea with a conversation I had with a client of mine the other day who has been struggling quite a bit and how we are working to get him out of his funk may surprise you!

An important lesson that we all need to learn from the wisest, most generous woman in my life, my grandmother.

I have a long and weird fitness journey. I consider the "start" to be the summer after I graduated high school, but I've been consistently working out since I was a freshman. Tune in today to hear my story of my fitness journey before my official "start," which includes my intense fear of setting foot in the gym. Know that you are not alone if you're nervous, whether you're new or yet to get started.

Are you plagued by a deep, inherent fear that you won't fulfill your potential? Join me today for my story of how this fear plagued me for years and my tips for moving through that fear, leaning into the resistance, and achieving results I've never had.

Today's episode we are diving really deep into why diets fail, more aptly, why diets fail YOU (not why you fail diets).

Take it from Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade... the key to leveling up in your leadership and physical fitness is your healing, personal development, mindset, and growth.

Welcome back! I am committing to daily podcast episodes Monday through Friday (with intentions to move to daily EVERY SINGLE DAY in due time). The podcast is going to look quite a bit different than it did back in April and I figured what better way to demonstrate what it will look like than taking you through my journey of healing, personal development, and growth these last few months since the podcast disappeared. Can't wait to guide you to your next level in life!

Getting back to the essentials of exercise with Essential #4 - Train Muscles, Not Movements. Now, it's very important to take into consideration what your goal is here. Certain goals will require you to train movements, but if body composition or general health and fitness is your goal, you need to start doing this!

This episode is paying homage to one of the all-time greats, Dwayne Wade and the lessons that we can all learn about his work ethic, tenacity, and relentlessness.
