Training for Life

Stay Strong When Others Don’t Support Your Growth


Listen Later

Episode Summary:

When you start making changes in your life,  whether it’s getting healthy, drinking less, or chasing new goals, not everyone will cheer you on. Some people will question you, tease you, or make you feel like you’re “too much.”

In this episode, Sarah and Tanna unpack what it really means to stay true to yourself when the people around you don’t share your goals. From setting boundaries to finding a supportive circle, they talk about how to hold your ground without guilt and why it’s worth it.

They also share personal stories of resisting peer pressure (including some pretty bold dinner-table moments), and remind us that you don’t owe anyone an explanation for doing what’s right for you.

You’ll Learn:

  • Why people sometimes react negatively to your growth

  • How to tell the difference between healthy feedback and social pressure

  • The power of “remembering your why” when others question your choices

  • How to set loving boundaries without conflict

  • Why your people ~  the ones who get it ~ are everything

    Key Quote Highlights:

    “Never dim your light just because it’s shining in someone else’s eyes.”
    “You don’t owe anyone an explanation for taking care of your health.”
    “The bigger deal you make about your choice, the more pushback you’ll get, so just live it.”

    Perfect For:
    Anyone who’s trying to make a positive change ~ in health, mindset, or lifestyle ~ and finding that not everyone is ready to come along for the ride.
