    How Hitch Fit Started: From an Attic to 20,000 Transformations

    How Hitch Fit Started: From an Attic to 20,000 Transformations In this episode of A Few Things Podcast, Micah and Diana share the true origin story of HitchFit—from the early MySpace days and "attic grind" to building one of the earliest online personal training programs focused on real, sustainable transformation. You'll hear how HitchFit was born long before online coaching was mainstream, why transformation (not quick fixes) became the foundation of the brand, and how early failures, debt, and risk shaped the integrity behind everything they've built. Diana opens up about her first business attempt, the lessons learned through failure, and how those experiences helped Hitch Fit avoid shortcuts and compromises. Micah also shares the powerful story of turning down The Biggest Loser, choosing faith, values, and long-term health over fame and fast money. Together, they unpack the mindset it takes to build something meaningful, the difference between a "what if" vs "even if" mentality, and why staying true to your purpose matters more than instant success. This episode is for entrepreneurs, fitness professionals, and anyone chasing transformation—in their body, business, faith, or life—who wants something that actually lasts. Topics include: • Hitch Fit origin story (2009) • Online personal training before social media exploded • MySpace fitness marketing & early transformations • Business failure, debt, and resilience • Turning down The Biggest Loser • Sustainable lifestyle change vs extreme weight loss • Faith, integrity, and purpose-driven success Comment below — we want to hear how this episode landed for you. ✅ Subscribe for weekly conversations on Christian stewardship, faith, fitness, marriage, leadership, healing, and purpose.

    In Episode 5 of A Few Things Podcast, Micah LaCerte and Diana Chaloux LaCerte share Part 2 of Micah's story—moving from the valley into the climb, and walking through the real "lifelines" God used to bring healing, stability, and hope after years of trauma. This isn't just a "healing journey" episode—this is a powerful reminder that your story isn't over, and that freedom is possible when you stop carrying shame alone and start taking real steps toward restoration. In this episode, we talk about: • Watch Episode 4 first for full context • What it feels like when trauma is hidden but still controlling your life • The "lifelines" God used to help Micah LaCerte survive—and begin healing • A safe family that changed everything at the exact right time • Why safety and stability are often the first step toward healing • The gym as a lifeline: how training, discipline, and structure helped fight anxiety and depression • Why strength training supports mental health and emotional regulation • How "success" and accolades can become another mask for shame • The moment Micah met Diana—and why the first question she asked mattered most: "Do you know Jesus?" • Spiritual trauma, hard questions, and how Micah's relationship with Jesus was rebuilt • Why real freedom goes beyond pain management—and what it looks like to live free • Why these conversations matter for men and women, and how to support someone who's silently struggling If you've ever wondered if healing is actually possible—or if you love someone who's carrying shame in silence—this episode will meet you right where you are and point you toward hope.

    Overcoming Shame & Breaking the Silence: Micah LaCerte's Story of Healing | A Few Things Podcast Episode 4

    In this deeply personal episode of A Few Things Podcast, Micah LaCerte shares his story of a decade of abuse in a way he never has before publicly. What began as silent childhood trauma carried for decades became a battle with shame, anxiety, depression and panic that shaped much of Micah's life beneath the surface. In this conversation, he opens up about the weight of unspoken shame and pain, the long road to healing, and how faith and fitness became the foundation for true freedom. This episode is not about reliving the past—it's about what happens when silence is broken. As Micah LaCerte shares his journey, the conversation naturally leads into the heart behind The Breaker Mission—a calling to help men who are still carrying hidden wounds from childhood abuse and find healing, strength, and restoration. The mission exists to remind men that vulnerability is not weakness, shame does not define them, and freedom is possible through truth, faith, and community. The story continues in The Breaker: How Men Can Overcome Shame and Live in True Freedom, a book born out of Micah LaCerte's own healing journey. The book goes deeper into the path God used to restore what was broken and how that same path can help others walk toward healing and hope.

    How to Lose Weight and Keep It Off for Life | Habits, Healing, and Accountability | A Few Things Podcast Episode 3

    In Episode 3 of A Few Things Podcast, Micah and Diana continue the conversation from the previous episode—going deeper into Diana's 50-pound transformation journey, what she actually did day-to-day, and how she built a lifestyle she's sustained for 20 years. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck in the cycle of starting over, battling food guilt, avoiding mirrors, or feeling like change is "too late." Diana shares the practical habits that helped her break through, plus the deeper truth most people miss: the work doesn't end when the weight comes off—the real freedom comes through healing and identity change. In this episode, we discuss: · Why transformation isn't just the "aha moment"—it's the habits and healing after · The power of before pictures (and why avoiding them is often a trauma response) · How Diana used weekly progress photos as motivation and proof that change was happening · The exact "simple foods" and structure that helped her stop the starve-then-binge cycle · Why smaller, consistent meals helped stabilize cravings, energy, and emotional eating · The importance of layers of accountability (coach, goal, deadlines, community) · How identity shifts: from feeling trapped → to becoming someone who follows through · The difference between discipline that creates results vs. rigidity that still keeps food in control · Why it took years to reach true peace with food—and how healing removed shame and fear · Practical tips to reduce triggers (stress eating, grocery shopping hungry, emotional patterns) · The 3 keys: accountability, honest awareness, and a big enough "why" · Why real transformation includes stewardship, purpose, and faith If you're starting again—or you've been working hard but still feel controlled by food, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking—this episode will help you build a sustainable path forward with hope, clarity, and real strategy. --- Comment below: What part of this episode hit you the most—and what's one step you're committed to this week?

    How She Lost 50 Pounds and Kept It Off for 20 Years | A Few Things Podcast Episode 2

    In Episode 2 of A Few Things Podcast, Diana Chaloux LaCerte shares her full 50-pound weight loss story—including the real turning point that changed everything: "What are you waiting for?" This conversation is about weight loss, binge eating patterns, emotional eating, secret eating, shame, depression, isolation, confidence, and healing—and why lasting change isn't just about food, it's about getting to the root. Diana opens up about: · Being painfully shy and insecure growing up, and how strength training started building confidence at age 14 · The spiral of starving all day → binge eating at night, and why it felt like bondage · Working in the fitness industry while struggling privately—and feeling like a "fraud" · The cruise ship season: isolation, alcohol, overeating, and the wake-up call that followed · The exact moment a trainer asked five words that flipped the switch: What are you waiting for? · The first steps that helped her change: accountability, learning nutrition, tracking food, and committing one day at a time · Why she believes sustainable transformation includes healing the deeper emotional and trauma-rooted drivers, not just willpower If you feel trapped in the cycle of losing and gaining, hiding your habits, or carrying shame around food—this episode is for you. There is hope, change is possible, and freedom is real. --- Comment below: What part of this episode resonated with you the most?

In this episode, we discuss: · The meaning of "faithful with a few things" (Matthew 25) · Why fear causes people to hide or bury their gifts · Lessons learned from both good and poor stewardship · Stewardship of health, faith, marriage, and calling · A powerful Haiti mission story and the ripple effects of generosity · Why everyone has gifts and how God uses obedience to multiply them If you've ever felt like you don't have much to offer, or you've been afraid to step fully into your calling, this episode will challenge and encourage you to trust God with what's already in your hands. --- Comment below: What's one gift God has placed in your hands that you're ready to steward better?
