When Was the Last Time You Surprised Yourself?
When was the last time you handled something better than you expected? Maybe you navigated a stressful situation differently, responded to something with more patience, or realized that something that used to overwhelm you doesn't have quite the same effect anymore. I want you to think about…

Learning to Accept Yourself Before You Can Appreciate Yourself
What parts of yourself are you still struggling to accept? Maybe it's a decision you made years ago, something you've done repeatedly, an insecurity you've carried for most of your life, or an experience you've never fully come to terms with. I believe that before we can genuinely appreciate...

The Emotional Weight of the Scale, Why That Number Stays With Us
In this episode, I want to explore something that many of us have been carrying around for years, sometimes even decades. The number on the scale and the meaning we've attached to it. If you've ever tried to lose weight, there's a good chance you've had a particular number in mind. Maybe it's…

How to Stop Rushing Your Goals and Start Enjoying the Process
In this episode of the Your Level Fitness Live Stream, I want to ask you a question that I think could completely change how you approach your goals, your fitness journey, and your life. What if, starting right now, you committed to building the life that's best for you without putting a deadline...

Check In With Yourself Before the Weekend
How are you talking to yourself right now? Not just about health and fitness. About everything. In this episode of the YLF Live Stream Podcast, I’m talking about the importance of checking in with your inner dialogue and noticing how critical, kind, patient, or demanding you are being with…

Embracing What Makes You Different Without Pretending It’s Easy
In this episode of the YLF Live Stream Podcast, I’m talking about something personal that came up because of a change in plans. I pre-recorded this episode because of the possibility of severe weather, and thunderstorms have always made me anxious because sudden loud noises can be difficult for…

What Does Calm Feel Like to You?
On tonight's episode we talk about clearly identifying what calm means and looks like to you. Practicing sitting with this feeling for 1 to 5 minutes during your morning and/or evening routine is a great step for beginning to cultivate it within your day-to-day. Be sure to email or message me…

Plan Without Getting Stuck When Life Changes
Planning matters, but so does being willing to change the plan. In this episode of the Wildlife Livestream Podcast, I’m talking about the balance between having a clear direction and staying flexible when things do not go the way you expected. A lot of us can handle the planning part. The harder...
-
How Small Daily Actions Build Skills and Self Trust
Today I’m wrapping up the week by talking about the benefit of starting small. When you are trying to build a habit, develop a skill, do more of something, or do less of something, one of the most useful things you can do is figure out the smallest possible action you are willing and able to...
-
Where Are You Your Own Worst Critic?
Where are you the harshest with yourself? Most of us have areas where nothing we do ever seems good enough. We set standards that are almost impossible to meet, criticize ourselves when we fall short, and reinforce labels about who we think we are. In this episode, I want you to start identifying...
-
What Happens When You Keep Ignoring Your Emotions?
What happens when you keep pushing your emotions aside? You might be able to distract yourself for a while. You might convince yourself that you have moved past something. But the thoughts and feelings we do not work through have a way of continuing to show up, sometimes when we least expect…
more -
You Can Change Your Expectations Without Lowering Your Standards
Expectations can be useful. They can give us structure. They can help us communicate what matters. They can help us follow through on the things that are important to us. But expectations can also get away from us. In this episode, I talk about the expectations we place on ourselves and the...
-
You Do Not Need to Lock In for the Rest of the Year
It is the start of the fourth quarter, and everywhere you look, people are talking about locking in, salvaging the year, and finishing strong. But what if you do not need to salvage anything? In this episode, I want you to look at how far you have already come, how your thought process has…
more -
Whose Eyes Are You Seeing Yourself Through?
Whose eyes are you seeing yourself through? When you are being especially critical of yourself, whose voice are you actually hearing? Where did those expectations, standards, or judgments originally come from? In tonight’s YLF Live Stream Podcast, we start by looking at the way we see ourselves…
more -
How Much Are You Trying to Control What You Cannot Control?
How much of your life are you trying to control? Not in the sense of having goals, structure, or wanting a say in what happens. Those things matter. I mean the situations where you are holding on so tightly to an outcome, a person, a plan, or even your own behavior that the effort to control it...
-
You Haven’t Wasted Your Life, You’re Still Figuring It Out
You have not wasted a single thing. That does not mean every experience was necessary, good, or meant to happen. It means your life is still unfolding, and the choices, setbacks, missed opportunities, wins, mistakes, relationships, and seasons you have gone through all become part of the person…
more -
When Consistency Turns Into Rigidity
Do you need to evolve in order to keep moving forward? Most of the time, I think the answer is yes. That does not mean you need to completely reinvent yourself every few months. A lot of the changes that help us move forward are much more subtle. Sometimes it is changing how much time or energy…
more -
When Fitness Goals Become Just Another Box to Check
We have access to more fitness data than ever. Steps. Calories. Macros. Heart rate. Exercise minutes. Streaks. Goals. Rings to close. Numbers to hit. A lot of that information can be incredibly useful. I love my Apple Watch, I like setting goals, and I enjoy seeing progress. But in this episode…
more -
Are You Waiting for Too Much Certainty Before You Decide?
How comfortable are you making decisions when you do not have all the answers? In this episode of the YLF Live Stream Podcast, I talk about uncertainty, discomfort, and what happens when we spend more time trying to eliminate risk than actually making the decision in front of us. We all want...
-
Confidence Is More Than Getting Everything Done
What happens when the routines you normally rely on stop working? In this episode of the YLF Live Stream Podcast, I talk about the difference between being really good at managing your routine and actually trusting yourself to navigate life when things go completely sideways. Both matter.…
more -
Are You More Comfortable Chasing the Goal Than Reaching It?
What happens when you finally reach the goal? Some people feel a sense of relief when they get there. Other people immediately start looking for the next thing to chase. In this episode, I talk about the difference between being comfortable in the pursuit and being comfortable after the finish...
-
What Would Change If You Trusted Yourself to Recover From Mistakes?
What would change if you trusted yourself to recover instead of trying to prevent every mistake? In this episode, I talk about perfectionism, self trust, and the way we respond when something does not go according to plan. For a long time, I was the kind of person who could do something well and...

What WE are doing here
What does it actually mean to build a forever active lifestyle? In this episode, I take a step back and talk through what we are really trying to build through Your Level Fitness, and why I think the approach has to go deeper than workouts, eating plans, habits, or weight loss. A lot of the…

Are You Building Self Trust or Just Getting Better at Following Rules?
What happens when life does not go according to plan? That is where I think we start to see the difference between following rules and actually trusting ourselves. In this episode of the YLF Live Stream Podcast, I talk about why self trust is not about creating the perfect plan or trying to…
more -
Curiosity, Compassion and the Space Between Emotion and Action
In this episode of the YLF Live Stream Podcast, I talk about one of the most useful skills we can practice when things feel hard, overwhelming, or emotionally charged. Something happens. You feel something. You start telling yourself a story about what it means. And then you react. But there can…
more -
How to Stop Being at Odds With Yourself
When did your body become something you started constantly evaluating? For a lot of us, that process starts much earlier than we realize. Let's talk about how body image messages can start in childhood and keep getting reinforced through family, media, the internet, social media, comments from...
-
What Are You Really Hoping Your Body Change Will Fix?
Are you trying to change your body, or are you hoping that changing your body will fix something deeper? For most people, the answer is probably a little bit of both. There is nothing wrong with having appearance based goals. You can want to lose weight, build muscle, change your body…
more -
Build an Identity You Actually Believe In
Which version of yourself do you trust? The person you used to be? The person other people expect you to be? The person you think you should become? Or the version of yourself that feels most connected to who you actually are? In this YLF live stream, I talk about identity as something that…
more -
You Can Feel Lonely Even When You’re Surrounded by People
You can have people around you every day and still feel lonely. You can have friends, family, coworkers, followers, messages and conversations happening around you and still feel like nobody really knows you. In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I talk about the difference between...
-
What Are You Willing and Able to Do?
It is very easy to get caught in the mental tug of war of what you should be doing, what you should not be doing, and where you think you should be by now. In this episode, I talk about a much simpler question. What are you willing and able to do today? That question forces you to look honestly…
more -
Being at Ease Is Better Than Trying to Be in Control
Being at ease does not mean giving up control. In a lot of ways, it can actually help you become more capable of handling what life throws at you. In this episode, I talk about the difference between forcing control and trusting yourself. When we try to control every outcome, every routine, every...

Before You Push Forward, Be Proud of What You Survived
We’re officially two thirds of the way through the year, and this is usually the time when the messages about finishing strong, locking in, and pushing harder start getting louder. I want to offer you something different. Before you think about everything you still want to accomplish, take a…

Falling Back to Your Foundation: How to Get Back Into Your Routine Without Starting Over

-
How Should You Pace Your Workouts?
In tonight’s episode, I talk about why the number one goal of today’s workout should be making it to your next workout. It is easy to look at one workout in isolation and judge it based on how hard you pushed, how much you completed, or whether you did everything exactly as planned. But your...
-
How to Separate Self-Worth From Achievement
Your worth is not tied to how hard you work, how much you accomplish, or whether things turn out the way you hoped. In this episode, I talk about the difference between taking pride in your effort and allowing effort to become the thing that determines how you see yourself. We are taught from an...

Face Limitations Without Letting Them Define You
Barriers are real. Limitations are real. Life is not always fair. But that does not mean those things have to become the lens through which you see everything you are capable of doing. In this episode, I talk about what it means to acknowledge the barriers in front of you without living inside of...

Why Urgency Can Sabotage Long-Term Fitness Consistency
In tonight’s episode, I talk about why urgency can feel productive when you are getting started with fitness, but can actually make long-term consistency much harder. When motivation is high, it is easy to think you need to flip the switch and change everything at once. You want to train harder,...

Fitness Goals Need Context: When Does Getting Lean Become Too Much?
In today’s episode, I walk through one of my favorite Precision Nutrition graphics, The Cost of Getting Lean, and use it as a starting point for a much broader conversation about body fat, fitness goals, effort, and trade offs. The biggest thing I want you to take away from this is that body fat...
-
Did you keep your promise to yourself this weekend?
In tonight’s episode, I follow up on Thursday’s conversation about keeping promises to yourself and what happens after you make that commitment.

Start Keeping Promises To Yourself
In tonight’s episode, I have a simple challenge for you heading into the weekend. Keep one promise to yourself. But I don’t want this to be just any promise. I want you to think about one of the big things in your life. The thing you’ve been avoiding. The thing you’re afraid to take the first…

Fining YOUR Smoothie Structure

What operating from a calm headspace actually looks like
In tonight's episode, I break down what it actually means to operate from a calm headspace and move at a deliberate pace, and why I view this as a skill you can practice rather than a state you're supposed to maintain perfectly. Operating from a calm headspace doesn't mean you're always calm....

How to Practice Consistency Without Burning Yourself Out
In tonight's episode, I break down why I believe consistency is a skill you practice, not an identity you have to maintain.

You get to decide how you'll see yourself before the world gives you permission to
In today's podcast episode, I'm setting up a live stream conversation around a simple but powerful idea. You get to decide how you see yourself before the world gives you permission to. We spend so much of our lives waiting for results, validation, or approval before believing in ourselves. What…
