The Least Impressive Thing Fitness Gave Me Is My Body" | Kelly Poole

To sign up for my coaching: https://ob-health.com/This might be the most honest conversation I've had on the podcast. I sat down with mindset and fitness coach Kelly Poole (@kellykpoole), who's trained in NLP and specializes in the part almost no one addresses: why you already know what to do and still can't get yourself to do it. We go way past macros and workouts into identity, limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, and the internal work that actually makes change stick.We both get vulnerable in a way I usually don't. Kelly opens up about her abusive relationship and the binge eating she worked through, and I share my own eating disorder, my childhood, the rock bottom that nearly ended me, and how radical accountability turned it all around. She also flips the script and coaches me live, calling out something no one ever has: that I've never actually celebrated a single win. We get into discipline versus devotion, why "balance" has to be earned, how to handle the people who judge you for having standards, why changing your mind is growth, and women, leadership, and why wanting a partner is nothing to be ashamed of.If you've ever felt like you have all the information and still can't follow through, this one is for you.CHAPTERS0:00 Intro: meet Kelly Poole3:54 Why information doesn't change you (identity & limiting beliefs)6:05 Fitness is the ultimate metaphor for business10:49 Discipline vs devotion (when it turns toxic)14:27 The truth about balance (you have to earn discipline)17:15 I open up: 6 years with an eating disorder19:33 Kelly's abusive relationship and extreme ownership28:00 The take that got her "cancelled" (and the MRI wake-up)34:15 What real vulnerability actually is41:24 My rock bottom, and how I found my way back45:32 Learning to live in uncertainty47:30 Kelly coaches me live: have you ever celebrated a win?51:33 Celebrate what you want repeated55:16 When high standards feel like an attack1:03:15 Why changing your mind is growth1:13:50 Women, leadership, and wanting a partnerFollow Kelly: @kellykpoole on Instagram, and her podcast The Greatest Project.Want coaching that works on the mindset and the macros?
