How a Hangover Led Me to the Gym: My Accidental Fitness Transformation

from Almost Grown Up · host Almost Grown Up Podcast

This isn’t a how-to guide. No abs in 30 days. No fitness challenges.It’s just the real story of how I hit rock bottom. I was laid off, drinking daily, completely untethered and one day decided, “I can’t live like this anymore.”What followed was four years of figuring it out from scratch: P90X in the bedroom, breaking a rib deadlifting, botched bulks, body image issues, and eventually standing on a powerlifting platform with my kids holding up signs that said, “My daddy can lift a house.”This episode is about mental health, real-life fitness, screwing up and trying again and what it means to build something sustainable when life is already chaotic.If you’ve ever felt too tired, too behind, or like the gym isn’t made for people like you this one’s for you.
