Shifting Your Identity To Experience Transformation with Michael Kurkowski


Listen Later

Imagine waking up every morning with unwavering confidence that you are making all the right choices for yourself. Picture yourself in complete control of your fitness journey, feeling the satisfaction of seeing results each day. How would it feel to let go of guilt when plans change? How amazing would it be to no longer seek answers but instead realize that you are reaching your full potential every single day?

Often, we find ourselves adopting various nutrition, training, meditation, and mindset programs, yet our core identity and self-limiting beliefs remain unchanged. Unless we address and overcome these limitations, all the healthy practices we incorporate will yield little impact. We must shift our mindset and transform our limiting beliefs to truly see a change. Transformation is not confined to a fitness program. It begins when we release our limiting beliefs and embrace the power within us to create the life we desire. By believing in ourselves and trusting the process, we open doors to endless possibilities.

In this conversation with Michael Kurkowski, we explore intuitive training, breaking free from limiting beliefs, nurturing our autonomy, and reprogramming our thoughts to manifest our transformation. Michael is a strength trainer with over 14 years of experience and has worked with numerous individuals in kettlebell training, strength conditioning, athletics, and nutrition. He is fervent about simplifying the complexities of health and fitness to help people achieve their goals and take full control of their strength in life, no matter their obstacles.

  • “If you don't recover from a limiting identity, then it doesn't matter how much you discover. All the food and training you prescribe to yourself will not do anything for you if we don't change your limiting mindset.” – Michael Kurkowski
