Summer Shorts: The Pistol Squat

Let us know what you think about this episode or send us an idea!

What if the life you want is just one small step away?

In this short summer episode, Vic tells the story of a single pistol squat that changed her perspective—not just on movement, but on what’s possible when we stop saying “I can’t.”

Over two years of slow, steady work led to a breakthrough moment at the gym. But this story isn’t about fitness. It’s about fear, trust, and how our smallest choices can become catalysts for bigger change.

Ryan and Vic unpack the deeper message behind this milestone—why waiting for motivation doesn’t work, what happens when we try instead of assume, and how momentum is built one brave act at a time.
