Training for Life

They Said We Couldn’t—So We Did! Our Thoughts on Smashing Limits


Listen Later

In this episode, Sarah Gilks, founder of Healthy Role Models, and Tanna Payne, master trainer and former international Olympic weightlifter, dive deep into the power of words, self-belief, and overcoming limiting beliefs.

Inspired by the recent Nike Super Bowl ad that resonated with so many women, Sarah and Tanna explore the impact of negative voices ~ whether they come from others or from within. Sharing personal stories of being told they "couldn't" or "wouldn't" succeed, they flip the script and reinforce the idea that actually, you can.

In This Episode:
How negative self-talk and external doubt can shape our beliefs
The importance of awareness in creating change
Using community and support to push past personal barriers
Stories of perseverance: from pregnancy workouts to breaking through industry norms
Practical steps to rewire your mindset for success

Key Takeaways:
Recognize limiting beliefs – Become aware of the negative things you tell yourself.
Challenge the narrative – Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself?
Surround yourself with possibility – Find a community that lifts you up.
Take small, consistent actions – Change happens one step at a time.
Borrow belief if needed – When your confidence wavers, lean on those who see your potential.

This episode is about reclaiming your power and recognizing that the only limits are the ones you accept. Whether in fitness, business, or personal growth—actually, you can.
