What does it take to rediscover yourself when life throws you off track?

Alycia Carrillo's remarkable story is a powerful testament to resilience, self-discovery, and the transformative power of fitness that goes far beyond physical strength.

Growing up as an athletic child with a track coach mother, Alycia seemed destined for athletic success. But a back injury during her college track career derailed her initial dreams, sending her on an unexpected journey of self-exploration. From waiting tables to traveling Europe, she wasn't just wandering, she was searching for her true purpose.

Her pivotal moment came when she realized fitness wasn't just about physical performance, but about reconnecting with one's inner athlete. "I help women over 30 reconnect with their athlete identity," Alycia shares, revealing a mission that transcends traditional fitness coaching.

The conversation unveiled critical insights about motivation, belief, and personal transformation. Alycia's approach challenges the conventional fitness narrative by focusing on individual experiences and emotional barriers. She understands that simply knowing what to do isn't enough, people need support, understanding, and personalized strategies.

Her own journey of burnout and rediscovery is particularly compelling. After working with elite athletes and feeling disconnected, she even walked away from coaching, taking a job as a bartender to rediscover herself. This vulnerable moment became her greatest strength, allowing her to develop a more holistic approach to fitness coaching.

Alycia's signature program, named after her three-legged dog, symbolizes resilience and unwavering spirit. It's not just a fitness program, it's a 16-week journey of personal empowerment that addresses mindset, strength, and individual challenges.

For those struggling with fitness motivation, Alycia offers compassionate advice: Start small, be kind to yourself, and focus on process goals rather than overwhelming outcome goals. Whether it's increasing daily steps or finding an activity you genuinely enjoy, the key is consistency and self-understanding.

Her online coaching approach breaks traditional boundaries, providing 24/7 support through messaging, weekly check-ins, and personalized programming. It's a modern approach that recognizes people's complex lives and individual needs.

The most profound message? Your fitness journey is deeply personal. It's not about achieving a perfect body, but about reconnecting with your strongest, most authentic self.

As Alycia's co-host Walt beautifully summarized, sometimes the most important work is helping people who may never directly thank you, making a difference simply by sharing knowledge and compassion.
