Coach MK uses the unparalleled wisdom of Dolly Parton to encourage everyone to disengage from pointless, energy-draining exchanges of one-upmanship.

It April Fools and #motivationmonday all at once! Enjoy this short, sweet mantra as you dive headlong into your week! LETS DO IT! Then head over to www.fitnessprotection.com and see what Coach MK is cooking up!

A listener sent Coach MK a baby announcement...with a written mantra request on the back! Totally amazing! We happened to read this request a few minutes after discovering that my most popular mantras all have “motherf*ucker” in the title. So, here you go, a mantra for a farmer’s wife and brand new mama: heigh ho, motherf*ucker. (Poem by Lautner Farms in Adel, Iowa)

It’s #throwItOutThereThursday and Coach MK highlights how her neighborhood reacted to her assisting her new friend Yoanna, and throws out a radical idea: if Yoanna comes back with friends, we will have a bbq till the neighbors call the cops. It will be just like college! Giving money, meals and shits is the opposite of stupid and it may be what we need MOAR of.

It’s #wildcardwednesday and Coach MK has a doozy of a story that will hopefully encourage you to stop wasting your excess time money and energy on people in your life who don’t deserve you and start giving to people in your neighborhood who will actually appreciate your incredible kindness and generosity. You may be the stroke of luck that changes someone’s life today; I dare you to find out.

Coach MK was reminded of an amazing Ted Talk about the narrative choices we constantly make, from describing our day to explaining why we don’t swim. The story matters less than the way you tell it, and Coach MK draws on her years of therapy to offer a touch of advice on giving your stories trajectories and endings that leave room for possibility, lest we forget the rest is still unwritten.

As Coach MK gets pumped about her new venture, she encourages everyone to look inside themselves and ask, “what would you do if you weren’t scared?” Then “what would it take to start?” And get EXCITED about something today rather than bogged down with to-fo lists and anxiety.

For our first #FierceFriday on the mantrapod, Coach MK reminds us that we have more power than we think we do, and encourages us to tap into that power. Olivia Pope only plays games she can win, why would we choose to stay in one if we know winning isn’t possible?

A listener writes in for a mantra to motivate her through her hip workouts, and Coach Mk delivers the only way she knows how...with fierce vengeance and furious anger.

A listener and fellow special needs mom wrote to Coach MK back in December to ask for a Mantra while she manages all of the therapies her son will be starting this month against the backdrop of an unsupportive family and training for the Disney Marathon in 2020. Coach MK offers more than a mantra to get her through this year, and she cannot wait to open this option to the world. www.fitnessprotection.com
