About this episode

I was so wrong and psychology has demonstrated why and HUMBLED MEEEEE.


If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do for your training but still can’t seem to stick to it, this episode is for you. We explore why education alone doesn’t change behaviour, how uncertainty changes your relationship with your body, and why inconsistency is often a logical response, not a failure.


This episode offers a new way to understand your training struggles and a calmer path back to consistency.


Bring your pen and paper to this episode so we can really make this practical TOGETHER.
