    The Right People, The Right Path: How Your Circle Affects Your Journey to Success

    The Right People, The Right Path: How Your Circle Affects Your Journey to Success

    In this episode, I dive into the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. I share personal experiences from my time at recruiting school in the Marine Corps, and I discusses how the people around you can either uplift or drag you down.



    I also emphasize the importance of being surrounded by those who support you during challenging times, offer different perspectives, inspire and motivate you, and help you both personally and professionally.

    I also talk about the negative impact of surrounding yourself with the wrong people, including how they can limit your potential, drain you, create a toxic environment, and introduce bad habits.

    Discipline of Desire: What Really Fuels Our Journey

    Discipline of Desire: What Really Fuels Our Journey

    Welcome back to another episode of Talkin' Crazy, the show where we dive deep into the realms of mindset, motivation, and the raw essence of human potential. I'm your host, Meech, and today we have an incredible guest whose journey will surely leave you both inspired and introspective.

    Joining us is Sabrina—a powerhouse of ambition who made the audacious leap from the medical field to the fitness industry. Once a pedal-to-the-medal medical assistant and phlebotomist, she has now found her true calling amidst dumbbells and deadlifts. But don't be fooled; the path hasn't been easy. Sabrina opens up about her struggles and triumphs, from staying disciplined when gym doors slammed shut during the pandemic to investing in an ocean's worth of protein over the years.

    Together, we're going to unravel the tapestry of staying motivated beyond those New Year's spikes in gym memberships. With Sabrina's help, we'll cut through the fluff of popular motivational phrases to explore the grind behind phrases like "trust the process" and "remember your why." We'll also discuss the critical aspect of evolving a mindset tuned for growth and the embracing of solitude for self-reflection, alongside the nourishing practice of self-care away from the iron grips of the gym.

    Get ready for an episode of Talkin' Crazy where we confront the hard truths of taking action, the wisdom embedded in our years of experience, and the beauty of "being human." And, hey, who knows? Maybe we'll even share our secret lo-fi playlist that sets the mood for those essential brainstorms.

    Cassie's Courage: Confronting Eating Disorders in the Marine Corps

    Cassie's Courage: Confronting Eating Disorders in the Marine Corps

    I’m thrilled to introduce Cassie Pierre, a friend who goes beyond her Instagram influencer status to share a story that’s both inspiring and challenging. Our journey with Cassie starts from her bold decision, at just 17, to join the Marine Corps, and how her recruiter became the father figure she needed, crafting a newfound family in the marines.

    But it’s not all marching bands and service ribbons. Cassie gets real with us about her silent battle with bulimia and the stigma of eating disorders in the military community—a topic that, I'll admit, I was pretty oblivious to. From the pressure-cooker of military standards to her treatment in a Virginia facility, Cassie peels back the curtain on the grueling process of confronting and managing her eating disorder.

    So, as we gear up for a discussion about the intertwining of physical and mental health, the critical support of command environments, and the way forward through therapy and open conversation—brace yourselves. It’s a conversation that might just change the way you look at the uniform.
