In today's episode Mark & Jen discuss the issues that people battle with on their transformation journeys in adulthood. Many people reflect on a time that was much simpler, where they had more time, energy, freedom & resources to place into their health and fitness. They romanticise about what they were able to achieve previously which often stops them from figuring out a strategy for how to make it work today, with more responsibilities & stress to consider.  

We've both been in and around this industry for over a decade & have both had our fair share of bad experiences. We know that many of you may have experienced the same. In today's episode Mark & Jen speak about the biggest red flags when hiring someone on your journey of growth and transformation.

Most people don't realise that the biggest thing holding them back is their beliefs. What starts as an assumption can quickly grow into a belief that creates conscious and subconscious behaviours. These behaviours can either work in your favour or they can cripple you.  They can lead to a life of fulfilment and freedom or they can lead to a life of limitations. In today's episode Mark & Jen discuss the process of assumptions and how you can create new evidence to change your beliefs to become a winner.
