Why Struggle Makes You Stronger With Dr. Jenn Burg

from My Happy Ass Life · host Karen Smith

Y'all, this encore episode takes us back to the very first time I brought a guest onto the podcast  my dear friend and former fitness coach turned life-changer, Dr. Jenn Burg. What began as hiring a fitness coach turned into me losing 50 pounds and totally transforming my mind, body, and spirit. Today we're talkin' about why struggle is actually a gift, and how learning to ask for help changed everything for me. Jenn drops so much wisdom in here, from the truth about GLP-1 drugs to why the scale isn't the whole story. Grab your coffee, y'all, this one's good.Episode Highlights:[2:22] Meet Dr. Jenn Burg[2:42] Hurricane Michael, and finding bodybuilding[8:27] "Let your impediment be your invitation" [13:29] The universe is not short on wake up calls, we're just quick to hit snooze[17:53] Beachy Beach, Bay Tax, and learning to accept help and sponsorship[25:01] Honesty as the foundation of every relationship, including the one with yourself[31:28] The truth about semaglutide and GLP-1 drugs[42:15] Why the scale lies and progress photos tell the real story[45:26] If you don't go out and find struggle, struggle will find you[57:55] How to find your happy in the hardSpecial Thanks to Our SponsorsBuffalo Rock Pepsi: www.buffalorock.comSomething's Cooking: https://somethinscookin.comFerrucci's Downtown: https://ferruccipc.comHoliday Beach Mechanical: https://www.holidaybeachmechanical.comTeam Patriot LLC: https://teampatriotllc.comBay Tax / Brian Yormack: https://www.bay.taxGypsy Willow: https://gypsywillowretail.comAmor Boutique: https://amorboutiquepc.comShore House Furniture: https://shorehousefurniture.comMinutes and Miles: https://minutesandmiles.comHue Salon: https://www.huesalonandboutique.comLet's Stay Connected!Follow along @BeSweetYall on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
