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.

Episode Description:

In this episode of The YLF30 Podcast, I’m getting into one of my biggest frustrations with the fitness industry... professionals who talk at you instead of working with you. If you’ve been on your fitness journey for years or decades, you know your body, your preferences, and your life better than anyone. So why should someone who doesn’t live your day-to-day tell you exactly how to live it?

I want you to see yourself as the expert of your own life. You’ve got the experience. You’ve built a foundation. Whether you’ve followed programs in the past or not, you’re the one with the real-world knowledge of what works for you. That’s why I’m always reminding people to tune out the noise from influencers who position themselves as the expert of your life. You don’t need that. You need guidance and collaboration... not control.

If you’re new to the inside/out approach, this episode is a great entry point. It’s about owning your path and recognizing that even if you decide to work with someone like me, you’re still the architect. I can help add context and tools, but the direction comes from you.

We also talk about how control and responsibility play a major role in sustainable fitness and life transformation. Once you start seeing yourself as the one in charge, you’ll find ways to handle the tough stuff... and stop stressing over what’s out of your hands.

You’ll hear some tangents in this one too. That’s part of how I process things and connect ideas. If you like that vibe, you’ll love The Your Level Fitness Podcast as well.

Thanks for listening. And as always, send me your thoughts at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com!

Episode Description
Welcome back to The YLF30 Podcast. If you’re new to the Your Level Fitness message or just getting reconnected, this episode is the perfect place to start. I’m diving into one of the most important parts of the inside/out process… how we view our bodies. You’ll hear why becoming your own body image and body standard is the foundation of real change and how shifting from judgment to acceptance can completely reframe your journey.

We’ll talk about why acceptance is just the beginning, how to build self-respect and appreciation from the ground up, and how daily actions like journaling, mirror work, and talking to yourself with kindness can change the way you feel about who you are. I’ll also walk you through why everyone’s body is different, even at the same height and weight, and how that truth helps you opt out of harmful comparison traps.

This is the start of a bigger conversation we’ll continue in future episodes. For now, know this… your body is not a problem to be fixed. It is a life to be lived in. And you get to decide what standard you hold yourself to.

Episode Description
In this episode of The YLF30 Podcast, I’m walking you through the YLF Framework, one of the core tools I use for turning ideas and intentions into daily action. We live in a time where resources, downloads, and tips are everywhere… but without structure and application, all of that content just becomes noise. This framework is how you filter that noise and start doing what actually works.

I created the YLF Framework initially for tracking goals in health and fitness, but what’s powerful is that it works just as well for personal development, mindset growth, and other life goals. You can even use it alongside another coach or program if their goal-tracking methods aren’t clicking for you. The whole idea is to have something flexible and actionable that moves you forward in your own way.

You’ll also hear why I’m focusing on a couple of tactical episodes here. I want to balance mindset discussions with tools that drive actual results. It’s great to talk about perspective and motivation, but without action, change doesn’t happen. So whether you’re brand new to this message or returning after a break, this is a great time to plug into the structure that can help you build something sustainable for life.

As always, if you have questions or thoughts, email me at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com. Thanks for being here.

In this episode of The YLF30 Podcast, I walk you through how the inside/out approach is different from everything you’ve been taught by the fitness industry. I explain why building your health, mindset, and lifestyle around who you already are—not who you’re trying to become—is the foundation of lasting change. This is how you create a forever active lifestyle you’ll actually want to live.

I also share how I’ve built out self-paced resources to help you show up daily and reinforce your beliefs without feeling like you have to consume endless content. I talk about how to find these resources across YouTube, the blog, social media, the daily email, and more. You’ll hear why I make the same materials available to everyone, not just clients, and how I want this to be a movement for those who are ready to change the way they relate to their body, food, and fitness.

This episode is your starting point for understanding how to create your own plan and get grounded in a message that reminds you every day… your body is enough, and you are enough.

In this episode of The YLF30 Podcast, I’m walking you through one of the most important shifts you can make in your weight loss journey and your life overall. Instead of waiting for results to prove you’re “good enough,” you start by deciding who you are and then take action from that belief. This is a major part of the inside/out approach I teach, and it helps you break free from the imposter syndrome cycle that so many of us get stuck in.

You’ll hear me challenge the traditional approach of doing more to become someone, and instead offer you a mindset that starts with self-trust and identity. You’ve likely already had some success in fitness and in life, and I want to help you build a sustainable path that feels supportive, honest, and fulfilling. You’ll learn how to break out of the mental prison that keeps you doubting yourself, and how to shift from acting scared to acting from belief.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll finally feel confident when I lose the weight,” this episode will help you flip that story. You don’t need to earn your worth. You decide it now. Then reinforce it through action.
