018: Growing Through Resistance: Why Your Fitness Journey Isn't Meant to Be Perfect

Progress Isn't Linear: Embracing the Messy Parts of Your Fitness Journey

In today's deeply personal episode, I share my heart about something I've been wrestling with lately - the messy, non-linear nature of transformation. As someone who's been in the fitness industry for 13 years, I want to normalize that setbacks aren't failures - they're actually signs of transformation.

Key Points I Cover:

• Why resistance and pushback are normal parts of any growth journey
• The psychology behind why our bodies and minds resist change
• How our primitive brain sees change as threatening, and what to do about it
• My personal story of navigating an inconsistent fitness season in 2024
• The powerful connection between faith and fitness transformation

The 3R Framework for Handling Setbacks:

1. Reflect: Identify what you're really struggling with
2. Reframe: See challenges as feedback, not failure
3. Realign: Make small, graceful adjustments

Biblical Connection: I dive into James' teaching about considering trials as joy, and how this applies to both our faith and fitness journeys. Just as muscles grow under tension, our faith and strength develop through challenges.

Special Announcement: The FLOURISH intensive is now live! This transformative 40-day program aligns your faith and fitness journey, running through Easter. It's included with my signature 6-month coaching program.
