    How I Fail (and Still Move Forward): My Rehab Struggles & Strategies That Help

    In this raw and honest episode, I open up about one of my biggest ongoing challenges: getting injured — a lot — and the struggle to stay consistent with rehab after I feel better. Sound familiar?  I’ve spent years bouncing between pain and recovery. While I’m great at following rehab protocols when things hurt, I often drop the ball once I’m back in the gym. That pattern has led to repeated setbacks. In this episode, I share exactly where I’ve failed… but also the simple, real-world strategies I now use to stay on track long-term, including:  Writing rehab exercises directly into my workout plansUsing a whiteboard with visual checkboxes for accountabilityTapping into past pain for emotional reinforcement Whether you're constantly rehabbing, restarting, or just struggling with long-term consistency, this episode will give you actionable tools and a dose of motivation to keep going — even after setbacks.   First time listening?
