In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin shares a grounded, real-world framework for navigating the holidays with less pressure and more peace.

Whether you love the holiday season or find it emotionally exhausting, this episode offers a gentle reminder: You don’t have to be perfect to be present.

You’ll hear strategies for:

• 🎯 Prioritizing simplicity over perfection
• 🗓️ Using planning to reduce decision fatigue (not control every moment)
• 💛 Letting go of food guilt and embracing self-forgiveness
• 💪 Viewing resilience as the ability to recover, not just endure
• ✅ A 4-part challenge to keep you grounded, intentional, and human

If the holidays have ever left you feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, or disconnected—this episode is your invitation to slow down, reset, and reclaim the season on your own terms.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin breaks down one of the most misunderstood—and emotionally charged—topics in the health world right now: GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.

If you live in a larger body, you’ve probably felt the pressure from both sides:

➡️ Criticized if you don’t lose weight

➡️ Judged if you do get help through medication

So today, we’re stripping away the shame, judgment, and noise—and getting to the truth.

✔ Why fat loss is so difficult—and why it has nothing to do with willpower

Genetics, environment, physiology, and stigma all play major roles.

✔ Why taking medication isn’t “cheating” or “the easy way out”

Obesity is classified as a disease; medications are simply tools—no different than any other medical treatment.

✔ How GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic and Mounjaro) actually work

We break it down in plain language: hormones, hunger signals, food noise, digestion, and how these meds help.

✔ The surprising health benefits—beyond weight loss

Including reduced cravings, improved blood sugar regulation, and potential cardiovascular and kidney benefits.

✔ What “healthy weight” really means

And why the scale, BMI, and clothing sizes miss the full picture.

✔ Seven evidence-based strategies to make medication more effective

From protein and strength training to fiber, healthy fats, and coaching support.

There is no moral value in how you pursue health.

Medication isn’t cheating.

Willpower isn’t a personality trait.

And your path is your own.

Whether you choose medication or not, you deserve support, compassion, and strategies that make long-term health possible.

We’ve all said it before:

You meal prep, plan workouts, even hide the junk food — and still find yourself choosing the drive-thru or the bag of chips. Why?

In this episode, Kevin digs into the psychology behind the intention–action gap — the space between what we know and what we actually do. It’s not about willpower or discipline. It’s about emotion, identity, and the ways we try to self-soothe when life feels overwhelming.

You’ll learn:

• Why our brains chase comfort even when it works against our goals
• How “self-sabotage” is often self-protection in disguise
• The role identity plays in shaping consistent action
• 5 practical tools to close the gap between knowing and doing

Kevin also shares a powerful reminder:

If you’ve ever gone out of your way to make the “wrong” choice even when you know better, this episode will help you see the pattern with compassion — and start changing it from the inside out.

It’s been over 30 years since I last really watched baseball...when Joe Carter’s home run made the entire country erupt.

But this year… something special happened.

The Toronto Blue Jays made it all the way to Game 7 of the World Series — and for a moment, it felt like Canada was united again.

No one was talking about the time change.

No one was complaining online.

Everyone was talking about baseball. About belief. About hope.

Even though the Jays lost in extra innings, they fought like hell and never gave up. And in doing so, they gave us a front-row seat to what resilience really looks like.

In this episode, I share how their journey this season is a perfect example of the mindset of a resilient human — and how losing doesn’t have to mean failing.

You’ll hear:

• Why effort and belief matter more than outcome
• How failure can actually strengthen your resilience
• What it means to “lose well” — in sport, work, or life
• And why success is less about trophies and more about who you become along the way

Because sometimes, the most defining moments don’t happen in the wins — they happen in extra innings.

Jeremy Hudec is a former RCMP officer who spent a decade serving his community—and nearly two decades trying every traditional treatment to manage PTSD.

Nothing worked.

Until something did.

In this episode, Jeremy opens up about what it means to live both sides of the mental health system: as a first responder, and later, as someone desperately seeking healing. His turning point came in the most unlikely way—through medically supervised psychedelic therapy in Mexico. It wasn’t quick. It wasn’t easy. But it gave him his life back.

Now, he’s paying it forward through Project Life Spark, a Canadian non-profit helping other first responders get access to the same life-changing treatment.

We get into:

• Why hope is the most powerful drug
• How 18 years of conventional therapy barely scratched the surface
• What it’s really like going through Ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT
• How his wife’s quiet support changed everything
• The moment he knew he had to create something bigger than himself

Jeremy doesn’t just tell a story of recovery—he embodies what it means to be resilient. It’s about still being in the fight, even when you feel like you’ve lost. And sometimes, it means going way outside the box to find your spark again.

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

What is one spark you’ve been ignoring that might change everything? Whether it’s a conversation, a new habit, or something unconventional, explore it this week. You never know what could come from it.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin shares the personal story of becoming an EMT and now beginning Fire School and how this journey has reshaped his understanding of resilience.

From the discomfort of being a beginner again, to the pressure of real-world simulations, to stepping into one of the most demanding training environments around—this episode isn’t just about firefighting. It’s about the universal process of growth, fear, failure, and showing up anyway.

You’ll hear:

• 🚒 What EMT and Fire School taught Kevin about responding under pressure
• 💥 Why resilience is about choosing discomfort on purpose
• 🧠 The power of beginner’s mindset and learning as an adult
• 🔥 Why waiting to feel “ready” often holds us back from our best growth
• ✅ A challenge to stretch yourself—even in small ways—this week

Whether you’re stepping into something new, considering a big change, or just need a reminder that you’re allowed to grow slowly—this one’s for you.

Jason Lyle is no stranger to adversity. From losing his brother at a young age, to battling addiction, to stepping away from everything he once built, his story is one of breakdowns, breath work, and eventually, breakthrough.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when life knocks you flat, and how healing doesn’t always look like sunshine and affirmations. Sometimes, it starts with cold water, long silences, and a decision to start over.

We get into:

-Why so many men feel disconnected, and what to do about it

-How nervous system regulation is the foundation for growth

-The power of storytelling, writing, and truth-telling

-Why healing happens best in nature, around fire, and in stillness

-The difference between surviving… and becoming whole again

This conversation hit me hard, and I think it’ll do the same for you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much, or not showing up the way you want to, this one’s worth your time.

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

Write down one story you’ve been telling yourself, about who you are, or what you’ve done.

Then ask: Is it still true? Or is it just familiar?

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin shares a lighthearted but powerful perspective on failure.

Losing happens. It’s part of life. Sometimes you give it your all and still come up short and that’s not always within your control. But what is within your control is how you respond.

Kevin explores:

• 🎯 The difference between losing and being a loser
• 🤔 Why failure doesn’t have to define you (unless you let it)
• 💡 How to reframe failure as feedback, not identity
• 😄 A fun reminder not to take every loss so seriously
• ✅ A weekly challenge to turn your next “loss” into a launchpad

This episode will help you shift how you think about setbacks, build emotional resilience, and choose growth over self-judgment - every time.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin explores the powerful idea that small, consistent acts of discipline today can protect you from the crushing weight of regret tomorrow.

We often think of discipline as sacrifice but what if it’s actually a form of self-respect? What if every time you choose the “harder” option now, you’re sparing your future self from disappointment, stagnation, and lost potential?

You’ll hear:

• ⚖️ Why discipline feels heavy in the moment but saves you from bigger burdens later
• ⏳ How regret builds slowly over time and how to spot its warning signs
• 💪 What people get wrong about discipline (hint: it’s not about punishment)
• 🔄 Why “I’ll start later” becomes the silent fuel for long-term frustration
• ✅ A weekly challenge to help you build self-trust through small, doable actions

Whether you’ve been struggling with consistency or waiting for the “perfect” time to start, this episode is your reminder: you get to choose your weight.

Kimberly Kesting is living proof that resilience can be both smart and soulful. A mindset coach, entrepreneur, and podcast host, she left the corporate world eight years ago and never looked back. For the last four years she’s helped lead the Enlifted Coaches Certifications—guiding hundreds to transform their stories, language, and identity. She’s also funny as hell, obsessed with sourdough and farmer’s markets, and currently geeking out on… tuning fork facials. Yep, we go there.

In this episode, we dive into how language shapes who you become, why “impact” evolves from teaching to being, and the subtle differences in how men and women approach mindset work—plus a fresh take on self-acceptance vs. growth.

We get into:

🧭 From corporate to coach: the “I quit today” moment and building a career with purpose

🧪 Teaching vs. coaching: the formula you learn vs. the wisdom you draw out

🗣️ Externalizing the “Billy story”: how saying the quiet part out loud sets you free

🔄 The upward spiral: catching doom loops with breath, slower reading, and better words

💃🧠 Men & women in mindset: why the mechanism’s the same but topics (and cycles) differ

🔔 Bonus curiosities: fascia, biofield tuning (tuning fork facials!), and an Edgar Cayce chat

This episode is a masterclass in language and identity—more than that, it’s a reminder that your stories aren’t set in stone. You can rewrite them… and yourself.

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

Write down one “Billy story” line you catch in your head this week.

Read it slowly, breathe low and light, and rewrite it in clear, simple language that actually helps you move forward.
