  • 129. #129 Is it really your back though?

    55:57||Ep. 129
    In this episode, we dig into the power of progress over perfection—and why waiting until things are “just right” might be the very thing holding you back. From fear of judgment to the pressure of having it all figured out, we explore the mindset traps that stall momentum and how to push through them anyway.We also challenge a common excuse that pops up in and out of the gym: “It’s my back.” But… is it really? Or is it fear, hesitation, or something deeper that’s getting in the way? From mindset traps to physical self-awareness, we explore how to tell the difference between a real limitation and a self-imposed one.You'll hear raw insights on showing up imperfectly, the surprising value of vulnerability, and why the messy middle is often the most transformational part of the journey.Want to transform your body in the next 12 weeks?
