In this episode of The YLF30 Podcast, I’m walking you through one of the most powerful yet often overlooked drivers of lasting progress in fitness and life: your mindset. Specifically, your default mental state. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your day-to-day or struggling to stay consistent with your eating and exercise routines, this calm, deliberate approach might be exactly what you need.

I want you to be able to return to a headspace that’s steady and focused. I talk about this often as being in your “default mode” about 85 percent of the time. It’s not about moving faster or doing more. It’s about slowing things down mentally so that you can make thoughtful choices and take aligned action, not just reactive ones. This is where sustainability begins.

You’ll also hear why I take a counter approach to the traditional motivational noise out there. I don’t think it’s about grinding harder or pushing through just to prove a point. I think the real work is learning how to observe your thoughts, quiet the chatter, and stay rooted in your goals without draining all of your energy.

This mindset applies to your workouts, your food choices, and your everyday life. When you can approach things with calm intention, your decisions feel less forced and your progress becomes more consistent. You’re not just copying someone else’s routine. You’re creating your own direction.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own head, unsure of what to do next or why your results seem to stall out, this episode will give you the shift you’ve been looking for.

In this episode of The YLF30 Podcast, we dive into the concept of the “Your Name Exercise Program.” This is all about building an active lifestyle that starts with what you enjoy and what you are willing and able to do right now. Instead of trying to fit yourself into someone else’s program, you build your own, starting with the activities you like.

I share my personal journey with exercise, including how I got into lifting weights at a young age because of cerebral palsy and how that foundation has stuck with me over the years. I also talk about how stretching, cardio, and walking have evolved in my routine and how changes in life stages will naturally shift how you move your body.

This episode is a reminder that it’s not about doing the most intense workout. It’s about doing what works for you, consistently, and in a way that supports your long-term lifestyle. Whether you’re starting on the floor, in bed, or walking a few minutes at a time, it counts. And if you build your foundation around preferences, exercise becomes something you look forward to.

Let this be your permission to create a flexible, evolving plan that is truly yours. You deserve a program that grows with you and supports the kind of life you want to live.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

In this episode of The YLF30 Podcast, I walk you through how to start building your name eating plan… yes, literally name it after yourself. This is your personal framework for how you eat, and it’s built entirely around your preferences, your routines, and what you’re willing and able to do right now.

We’re not talking about a strict meal plan or a list of good and bad foods. We’re talking about an eating plan that fits your life now and adapts with you as life changes. I explain how to observe your current food choices, how to approach “trigger foods,” and why nothing is actually off limits. The goal is to take ownership, define your own parameters, and build something sustainable.

Whether you’re taking a break from dieting, just getting started, or finally ready to make peace with your food choices, this is the foundation for doing it your way. You are the architect of this eating plan… and once you start putting your name on it, everything begins to shift.
