Some people don’t change until the old version of them dies

šŸ’ŖšŸ¾In this preview episode, I set the tone for my conversation with Chris, founder of Start Over Fitness, a trainer, a spiritual thinker, and someone who didn’t wake up one day and decide to change.. life forced it. Chris was literally hit by a truck, and according to him, that version of him didn’t survive. What followed wasn’t just recovery, it was a rebirth. We talk about what happens when pain stops being something you run from and starts becoming the thing that redirects your entire life.

šŸ’„Most people say they want change but they don’t want the death that comes before it. They don’t want to let go of the addictions, the old friends, the environments, or the identity that feels familiar even when it’s killing them. In this preview, I break down how trigger points repeat until you stop numbing and start listening, why relationships expose what you haven’t healed, and how environments don’t just influence behavior... they resurrect old versions of you if you’re not intentional.

🌟Triggers aren’t punishments, they’re instructions. Growth requires burial before it brings resurrection. If you keep planting yourself in the same soil, don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

āˆžThis episode sets up a deeper conversation about discipline, fasting, controlled struggle, solitude, and building identity through routine instead of extremes. We get into why discipline isn’t restriction, it’s protection, why consumption loops keep people spiritually and emotionally weak, and how small systems practiced daily build self-trust over time. This isn’t fitness talk — it’s a masterclass on choosing intention over emotion, even when your environment, habits, and history are pulling you backward.

If this preview hits, the full episode goes much deeper. It challenges you to ask whether you’re actually changing… or just coping better while hoping life doesn’t force the lesson again.
