    Anxiety Isn’t the Enemy - It’s Information | Episode 70

    Anxiety is something both of us have walked through in different seasons. And if we’re honest, most of the people listening probably have too. But this episode isn’t about eliminating anxiety forever. It’s about changing the way you respond to it. We talk about the shift from seeing anxiety as a curse to seeing it as information — a signal that something is off, out of alignment, or asking you to grow. We also share personal examples — navigating health setbacks, boundaries, stress, control, and the refining seasons that came before some of the biggest growth moments in our lives. If this episode resonates, send it to someone who’s been navigating anxiety too. And if you want structure that helps stabilize your physical and mental foundation, check out our FREE guide Five Steps to the Next Five Pounds Down. Physical structure often supports mental clarity more than people realize.

    Faith, Identity, and Surrender | Episode 69

    This episode is a little different. Over the past year, I’ve shared more openly about my faith — and I’ve had a lot of you ask for more context. So today, we’re pulling back the curtain and talking about our journeys. This isn’t us telling you what to believe. It’s simply us sharing where we started, what we wrestled with, what shifted, and what faith looks like in our daily lives now. Thanks for being here and growing with us! Share this with someone who you think would resonate.

    From Chronic Illness to Vitality in Her 70s | Episode 68

    Today we talk about the idea that it’s never too late to take ownership of your health — and that a lot of the aches, pain, and decline people chalk up to ‘just getting older’… might not actually be inevitable. Our guest is Mimi Morgan - and her story is incredible. Mimi is a fitness & movement practitioner, survivor, and inspiration who’s transformed her health in her late 60s and early 70s through unconventional means. She’s documented overcoming severe chronic illness, including Parkinsons, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, and serious infections, ultimately regaining function, strength, and vitality. Along the way she transitioned her diet and stepped away from medications entirely, and now lives an extremely active life. In this conversation, we talk about: Why so many people accept pain and decline as “normal”The difference between aging and giving up responsibility for your healthHow Mimi rebuilt strength, function, and vitality later in lifeWhat actually matters when you’re trying to healWhy it’s almost never “too late” to startThis episode is a powerful reminder that your body is more adaptable than you’ve been led to believe — and that ownership, curiosity, and consistency matter more than age.

    Is Calorie Cycling Worth It for Fat Loss? | Episode 67

    We don’t hear calorie cycling talked about very often. In reality, it can be a great tool. And like any tool, it can be really effective in the right context… or completely backfire if it’s used the wrong way. In this episode, we break down what calorie cycling actually is, why people are drawn to it, when it can be genuinely helpful, and when it just adds unnecessary complexity or leads to overeating and inconsistency. And if you feel stuck and don’t know what to adjust next, I put together a simple guide that walks you through the exact steps we use with clients to get momentum back — without extremes or starting over. 👉 5 Steps to Your Next 5lbs Down: https://fitwithmackenzie.com/next5lbs Connect With Us Mackenzie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit_with_mackenzie/ Twitter: https://x.com/smithhmackenzie LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smithhmackenzie/ Laurence Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestlifedude/ Twitter: https://x.com/bestlifedude Appreciate y'all and share this with your friends!!

    The Lessons We Had to Learn the Hard Way | Episode 66

    Growth doesn’t just come from wins - it comes from the things that didn’t go as planned. A lot of people talk about all the wins and great things, but I think it's also important to show the full picture, because we all go through it. So in this episode, we get real about some of our biggest "failures" from 2025 — the moments that cost us energy, peace, health, or momentum — and what they taught us. We talk about why failure isn’t something to fear or avoid, how it’s actually feedback, and how repeating the same cycles usually comes from ignoring the lesson instead of learning from it. We also share personal reflections on boundaries, intuition, stress, health, stillness, faith, and trusting the process when outcomes don’t go the way you expect. And if you feel stuck and don’t know what to adjust next, I put together a simple guide that walks you through the exact steps we use with clients to get momentum back — without extremes or starting over. 👉 5 Steps to Your Next 5lbs Down: https://fitwithmackenzie.com/next5lbs Connect With Us Mackenzie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit_with_mackenzie/ Twitter: https://x.com/smithhmackenzie LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smithhmackenzie/ Laurence Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestlifedude/ Twitter: https://x.com/bestlifedude Appreciate y'all tuning in and share this with someone who needs to hear it!
