Are you waiting for someone else to complete you? A partner, a friend, or even your family? In this episode of Real Talk Fitness with ANPT, Ashleigh dives into one of the biggest relationship myths we’ve all been sold: that happiness and wholeness come from other people.

The truth is, no one else can fill the gaps in your life. That’s your work. When you learn how to build a strong, loving relationship with yourself, you stop placing unrealistic expectations on others — and you start creating healthier, stronger, more authentic connections.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ Why we’re conditioned to believe others should “complete” us

✨ How unmet needs and self-doubt can sabotage relationships

✨ Practical tools to build self-awareness, self-care, and self-trust

✨ How your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life

This isn’t about being selfish — it’s about being whole. Because when you show up complete, your relationships can finally thrive.

From self-doubt to the national stage — this is Lisa's story.

When she first walked into ANPT, Lisa didn’t believe in herself. Living with CMT, she thought her body had limits she could never break through. But with consistency, coaching, and the support of the ANPT community, she discovered her strength, fell in love with powerlifting, and went on to compete at Nationals.

In this episode, we dive into her journey — the fears, the breakthroughs, and the powerful mindset shifts that changed her life inside and outside the gym.

If you’ve ever doubted what you’re capable of, this conversation will remind you just how much is possible when you back yourself.

This week, I sat down with our very own coach Nicholette. She’s someone who has faced more challenges than most—living with CMT, battling through injuries—but her attitude and determination are what truly define her.

Instead of letting those circumstances define her, she built an attitude of resilience and determination that carried her into not just recovery, but into leadership as a coach. This is an inspiring conversation about overcoming setbacks, shifting your mindset, and taking back your control.

In this episode, Ash sits down with Caeley to share her powerful story of transformation – from nervously walking into her first ANPT class to becoming one of our inspiring coaches. 💪

Caeley opens up about:

✨ The moment she decided to start her journey

✨ The challenges she overcame along the way

✨ How training changed her physically and mentally

✨ What it’s like stepping into the role of a coach

✨ Her advice for anyone nervous to take the first step

This is more than just a fitness story – it’s about courage, growth, and the power of community. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start your own journey, this is it. 🌟

In this episode, we dive deep into one of life’s biggest questions: Would you rather risk failure, or live with regret?

Too often, fear keeps us playing small — worrying about what others think, avoiding judgment, or staying in our comfort zones. But the truth is, regret doesn’t come from the risks we take… it comes from the chances we never gave ourselves.

I’ll challenge you to reflect: What truly motivates you? And if you had just one week left to live, what would you regret the most?

We’ll talk about:

• Why risk is disguised growth.
• Why regret is the heaviest weight you’ll ever carry.
• How to reframe fear and failure as stepping stones, not barriers.
• Real stories — from competition floors to everyday choices — that show risk is always worth it.

Because death is inevitable — but how you choose to live is up to you.

This episode dives into the five things that often control our lives:

1️⃣ Our past

2️⃣ Other people’s opinions

3️⃣ Limiting beliefs

4️⃣ Relationships

5️⃣ Money

I’ll unpack how each of these can hold you back, share personal stories from my own journey, and give you practical steps to break free.

This is your reminder that life isn’t defined by what’s happened to you or what others think of you — it’s defined by the choices you make today.

We’ve all been told to avoid failure—but what if failure isn’t the enemy at all? In this episode, Ashleigh unpacks the powerful truth that fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Drawing from her own experiences on the CrossFit competition floor and the powerlifting platform, Ashleigh shares what it really feels like to face failure in front of a crowd—and why those moments became stepping stones to her greatest successes.

You’ll also hear the science behind fear and failure: how your brain responds when fear takes over, and why failure actually rewires you to become stronger and more resilient. Plus, stories of world-famous people who failed before they succeeded—Michael Jordan, J.K. Rowling, Walt Disney, Oprah Winfrey—reminders that failure is part of the process for everyone.

👉 If you’ve ever held yourself back because you didn’t want to let others down, or because you feared criticism, this episode is for you. It’s time to reframe failure, quiet the fear, and step fully into the arena.

Takeaway: Fear keeps you stuck. Failure moves you forward. And that’s where success is found.

“Where your emotions go, your energy flows.”

Let’s talk about real change—not the surface-level stuff, but deep, lasting change.

Here’s the thing: your conscious mind—the captain—might set the goal: "I want to lose weight, change careers, stop overthinking." But your subconscious mind—your crew—is working off old maps: your beliefs, values, stories you’ve carried for years.

And when your goals don’t align with those deep beliefs, that’s when you feel the tug of resistance. You say you want something, but you procrastinate, self-sabotage, or burn out. That’s not weakness—that’s misalignment.

This is where reframing comes in.

When we reframe how we see a situation, we don’t just “think positive.” We shift how our crew responds. We bring those old beliefs to light, question them, and consciously choose something new. That's where transformation begins.

💡 So ask yourself:

Are you trying to sprint to a destination while your crew rows in the opposite direction?

If you're tired of pushing and pulling against yourself, maybe it’s time to stop going it alone. Life coaching isn’t about being weak. It’s about being strategic.

When your car breaks down, you go to a mechanic. When your mind feels stuck? You go to someone who can help you navigate it.
