  • (#31) *u*k your opinion
    What's in an opinion? Not a fucking thing! Should I take someones opinion into my mind? Nope! You absolutely should NOT! In this episode Nita explores the why behind opinions and the who is the opinion benefiting? Is, or rather was the opinion necessary to share? We're not talking about someones emotional needs, their hurt feelings, their attempt at communicating their needs, we're discussing with cold clarity another person's thoughts about your life. ... Exactly how does that matter to you? It dosent at all.

  • (#28) Self Validation Annihilates Some Relationships
    Nita begins choosing to honor her feelings and removes herself from spaces that don't accept that she has the right to feel how she feels. This new step of self validation pushes her buckets of self love and self worth to an all time high and she realizes there is no turning back to self abandonment again. Others will choose to be a part of her journey or they'll exit but she will no longer pretend to be okay when emotionally she's not. She is responsible for her own emotional safety.

  • (#26) Mental & Emotional Chaos keeps us yoyo-ing & never consistent with exercise
    Nita hosts her friend and business partner Jon Dale in this terrific reality check on how he brought consistentency to his exercise efforts for the first time in his life. This is such an inspiring talk to Nita who has bounced in and out of being physically fit and could never stay within the best range of fit because the toxic abusive environment she lived in could not allow this for her. Within this podcast Jon details that even as a youth and young adult in his role as an elite athlete Jon's internal emotional-mental chaos kept him from finding consistency and happiness in exercise. These last three and a half years Jon has broken a devistating grip of addiction and battled to find inner peace through hard mental and emotional work to understand why he's always been in mental-emotional chaos and put into practice many incredible tools to cope and build healthy habits that bring him an inner peace he's never experienced before. With this inner peace he has discovered that for the first time in his life his exercise is hitting a level of consistency mixed with a trust of self to just keep at it day in day out. No longer is training, exercising, being fit something that torments him but rather something that inspires him. Listen to this engaging conversation and see if anything within it resonates on your battle to bring consistency to your fitness life.
