In today’s episode, we walk through the real fitness timeline: what actually happens in your body and brain as you start (and stick with) a workout routine. From the early burst of excitement, to soreness and resistance, to the slump most people think means they’re failing, this episode breaks down each phase so you know what to expect. If you’ve ever quit because motivation dipped, results felt slow, or life got messy, this conversation reframes consistency, progress, and identity, showing you how fitness becomes sustainable when you stop chasing perfection and start trusting the process.

In today’s episode, we talk about how the pursuit of “healthy eating” can cross a line, and what happens when caring about nutrition turns into fear, rigidity, or obsession. We break down the difference between healthy eating, disordered eating, and eating disorders, why dieting is one of the strongest predictors of long-term harm, and how common these patterns actually are. If you’ve ever wondered whether your relationship with food is supportive or starting to feel stressful, controlling, or all-consuming, this conversation offers clarity, nuance, and a more compassionate way to think about health, without demonizing food, weight goals, or yourself.

If you believe you might be struggling with an eating disorder, the most courageous, healthiest, and loving thing you can do is ask for help. Here are some resources you can use:

In today’s episode, we talk about why exercise feels so hard for so many people and why that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. If you’ve ever assumed that working out should be easy, wondered why you can’t stay consistent, or felt discouraged when results don’t show up right away, this conversation reframes what “hard” actually means. I'll unpack why exercise is challenging by design, how that difficulty is what creates real change, and how to make movement feel more supportive and doable without relying on motivation.

In today’s episode, we talk about the constant inner dialogue most of us are living with — the comparing, criticizing, and complaining that quietly shapes how we see ourselves and our lives. If you’ve ever felt behind, not good enough, or stuck in the same mental loops no matter how hard you try, this conversation will help you understand where that voice comes from and how to start changing the way you relate to it.

In today’s episode, we talk about how wellness has become intense, performative, and very all-or-nothing, and why that approach isn’t working. If your healthy habits feel like things you have to force yourself to do rather than things that support you, this conversation might change how you approach your health moving forward.

In today's episode, we talk about the scariest part of failure. It's sneaky and most people don't even know this is what's holding them back from achieving their dreams. Is your dream life actually holding you back from... your dream life?

Kelly is a somatic coach and educator. He works with clients to help them dialogue with their bodies so that they can immediately use their own sensory information to feel better now and in the future through compassionate self-perception and allowing for movement.

He teaches via a combination of mindful movement practices, aka somatic movement, as well as theory in human anatomy, physiology, evolutionary biology, and Buddhist psychology.

Everything he does can be summed up in this instruction: “Sense your body with compassion, listen openly for the answer, and then follow the subtle expressions that arise with curiosity and trust.”

Today's episode is about an emotion we all feel, but we feel shame around feeling = fear. The truth is, that fear is a necessary emotion and one that we can choose to either help us grow, or hold us back. If fear holds you back from doing the things you want, today's episode is for you. This is how you can "feel the fear and do it anyway."
