Why Fitness Shouldn't Be Your Life (But Should Shape It)

Feeling like fitness has taken over your life? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re breaking down a mindset shift that changed everything for us: fitness isn’t your life—it’s how you live your life.

‍

We’ll share:
✔️ Why turning health into a full-time job backfires for most busy adults
✔️ How to stop chasing perfection and start using fitness as a tool to enhance your real life
✔️ What training and nutrition look like for us right now as parents, business owners, and normal humans
✔️ How social media’s “fitspiration” trap convinces you you’re failing—and why that’s a lie
✔️ Practical ways to reframe your goals to make progress without burnout

‍

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re either all-in or failing, this episode will help you simplify your health routine, reclaim your identity, and build fitness into your life without letting it take over.
