In the final episode of the Back Yourself Podcast for 2020, Sam and I go through all the events that have happened to us in the past 12 months:

Planning to merge the gyms

Covid

Looking for a new facility 

Closing and opening gyms

Managing our own expectations.

On top of the crazy year we've had front of house, back of house and mentally we've had just as bigger year.  We discuss our mindsets across the past 12 months including some of the less glamorous moments and how we stayed grounded.  Yes there were hard times and yes both of us were overwhelmed at points BUT we made it and it's onwards and upwards.

The Back Yourself Podcast will be taking a little break but will be back in 2021 with new guests and new topics!

INTRODUCING Kirstin Wise! The new resident nutritionist & dietician at Back Yourself Fitness.  In this episode we dive into Kirstin's beliefs around food and the relationship we create with our food.  We also discuss calorie counting and how it has a negative affect on your mental health.  

Kirstin decided to get into nutrition after having her first child and returned to uni as a mature aged student.  We discuss how she juggled and her expectations heading back to uni.

Everyone has their own pressures in day to day life.  In today's episode I discuss spotting the signs that you are heading for burnout and how we can remedy the stresses and pressures on you both internal and external.  This podcast will not tell you how to "fix" your mindset but it will raise questions and scenarios where you can digest and reflect on where you are right now and where you'd like to be.

Liam, the owner and operator of LST Support Services popped in for a chat and we dove into being a disability carer, his clients and what's involved.

Part 2 of our chat looks at a couple of his more regular and longest standing clients.  He knows these guys like the back of his hand and is continuing to help them work towards their independence.  We also touch on family.  Who is in his support network and what motivates him.

This is a good heart warming chat!
