What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why dragging the old version of yourself into a new year guarantees nothing changes
• How to use your last 12 months as data, not self-judgment
• The real reason motivation fails… and what works instead
• Why energy management is more important than discipline
• How boundaries shape the person you’re becoming
• Why your first 21 days of change will feel miserable… and why that’s normal

[0:25] “If we are taking the old versions into our next year, we can’t expect anything to change.”

[2:02] “If you grew, you were already on the path.”

[5:46] “You don’t need the next six months mapped out. You just need to stop running your life on autopilot.”

[6:25] “You can’t become that 2.0 version of yourself if you’re still stuck in the mud of the old one.”

It's easy to fall into the trap of chasing programs or quick fixes as the calendar resets. However, I emphasize that simply starting a new program will not lead to transformation if personal changes are not embraced. It's vital to reflect on who you want to become rather than just seeking a better version of who you've always been. January should not merely serve as a mental reset; rather, it should act as a powerful motivator for genuine growth. If we carry forward the same habits and mindset without making tangible changes, we'll find ourselves stuck in a cycle, expecting different results from old behaviors.

How to build structure when everything feels like chaos

The #1 mistake people make when they try to change

Life knocked me sideways these past couple months — losing my dad, trying to keep the business afloat, and honestly just trying to not lose my mind in the process. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or like the version of you that used to “have it together” is long gone… I see you. I’ve been there. I am there.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to start over when you don’t feel ready. Not just with workouts, but with life. I’ll walk you through the exact mindset shifts I’ve used to begin again, even when motivation is completely gone — and why waiting for the “right time” is the worst plan out there.

I also share the small systems I’ve been leaning on to get myself moving again — physically, mentally, emotionally — and how you can use them too, whether you’re coming back from burnout, grief, or just losing your routine.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why “feeling ready” is a lie and how it keeps you stuck

How grief, burnout, and stress wreck your momentum — and what to do about it

A simple way to remove friction and actually want to move again

The exact 3 anchor habits I recommend to all my clients (and use myself)

Why starting small and quiet might be the best strategy for your comeback

[5:22] “You’re never going to feel ready… not to start your fitness journey, not to get your life back together. But the weight of starting is so much less than the weight of regret.”

[15:25] “Most people fail not because they don’t care — but because they try to do too much at once.”

[25:51] “Eventually, you stop saying ‘I’m starting again’ and just become the person who shows up.”
