Have you ever started a fitness program and then quit? If you answered yes, you're not alone. Many people have started fitness programs. Many land up quitting before reaching their goals when the results come too slowly for their liking. Whilst many of us set New Year’s Resolutions as “the great reset” for our fitness journey, those fizzles out as quickly as we set them. According to the National Library of Medicine, only 8% of people actually achieve their New Year’s goals globally. Our next guest helps us unpack what it takes to stay motivated in our fitness journey as we navigate the tricky festive season and how to build a champion mindset to tackle our fitness goals in the long-term.

Reaching a place where you’re able to forgive someone is not an easy journey. Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve it. Many people use the term “forgive and forget,” but forgetting actually isn’t part of forgiveness. Moreover, forgiveness is not the same thing as reconciliation. Our next guest will help us unpack this
