- solo cast - Timelines, Choices, and The Gains We Keep

This solo cast was such a joy to record, because I am ending 2025 with a fire in my chest about what actually shapes our lives.

I dive into the truth that your habits are profiling you every single day and that discipline is really about having an identity so clear you stop negotiating with your feelings. I talk about timelines, personal responsibility, the habits I have made non negotiable and the real shifts that happened when I stopped treating my future self like a stranger.

I break down the practices that have changed my body, my mindset and my nervous system this year, from lifting heavy to creatine to peptides to sleep optimization to meditation to walking and, yes, fun. I share how these choices have rewired my confidence, sharpened my intuition and helped me keep the gains I have worked so hard for.

This episode is equal parts science, spirituality and loving kick in the ass, because you are far more in control than you think. The life you want is built from the habits you keep.

Highlights:

(01:15) The truth about timelines and why my habits were deciding my future

(04:30) The identity shift that makes discipline easier than feelings

(06:40) Weightlifting, confidence and the moment I realized my body had changed

(10:19) Creatine, peptides and the longevity practices I swear by

(12:55) Sleep, meditation and the seven minute gratitude rule

(15:11) Why walking, movement and fun have become my secret sauce
