    114. Your Kids Are Copying You: The Parenting Wake-Up Call (Habits, Self-Talk, and the Ripple Effect)

    Hard truth: your kids don't do what you say—they do what you do. In this episode, we unpack how parental behavior shapes children's habits, health, and inner voice. From the food on your plate to the way you talk to yourself, your daily choices become their blueprint. We dive into the ripple effect of parenting, how social media pressure warps expectations, and why personal responsibility beats finger-pointing. You'll learn how to model healthy habits, clean up self-talk so it becomes your child's confidence, and stand firm when critics chirp from the sidelines. This isn't about perfection—it's about leading your home on purpose.

    111. When "Good Enough" Becomes Self-Sabotage: Raise Your Floor, Keep Your Sanity

    Feeling stuck in survival mode—skipping workouts, stress-snacking, sleeping less, and calling it "good enough"? In this fireside chat, we unpack how that bar quietly drops and what to do when "good enough" stops being enough. You'll learn how to spot the red flags, reframe your mindset, and raise your floor with small shifts that actually stick during busy seasons and the holidays. We riff on five everyday arenas where standards slip—and how to course-correct without perfectionism: Food noise vs food joy: enjoy treats on purpose, not by accident The good-enough workout: protect the appointment, adjust the dose Morning light vs winter blues: use light as a free energy reset Stress vs rest at family gatherings: step-out rituals that save your tone Gratitude as a reset: one specific thank-you that changes your day‍ Plus, we show you how to use habit anchors to make consistency automatic and craft a one-line floor statement you can run for the next 7 days.‍ APPLY FOR COACHING: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/1-1-coaching SDE Method app: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/sde-method-app The Fitness League Waiting List https://u3rwk.share.hsforms.com/2rkAwsFntTAeZ__PxwXdr4Q Macros Guide https://www.lvltncoaching.com/free-resources/calculate-your-macros Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching FREE TOOLS to start your health and fitness journey: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/resources/freebies Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik Chapters: 00:00 The Drift into Survival Mode 03:19 Recognizing the Red Flags 09:06 The All-or-Nothing Mentality 12:59 Finding Balance in a Busy Life 16:06 Morning Routines and Alarm Strategies 18:12 Setting Boundaries: Floors and Ceilings in Life 19:10 Food Awareness: Noise vs. Joy 22:19 Adapting Workouts: Embracing Change 23:41 Light Exposure: Combatting Winter Blues 24:39 Navigating Family Gatherings: Stress vs. Rest 25:33 Gratitude as a Daily Reset 26:32 Habit Anchors: Small Changes, Big Impact 29:58 Self-Audit: Recognizing Good Enough 34:43 Small Upgrades for Big Benefits 37:20 Awareness and Action: The Path to Change

    110. Lipedema, Surgeries, GLP-1 & Relentless Consistency | Daria's Transformation

    In this powerful client spotlight, Daria opens up about her long-game transformation. Navigating a lipedema diagnosis, multiple surgeries, and the mental load that comes with it—while committing to a simple promise: never live above 200 pounds again. We dig into the routines and mindsets that actually stick: consistent training, protein-forward meals, community support, and self-advocacy in a confusing healthcare landscape. Daria also shares her GLP-1 experience for managing food noise, the role of coaching accountability, and how letting go of rigid expectations unlocked real momentum. If you need proof that showing up beats perfection, this is it.

    109. Willpower Is Failing You—Identity Won't: Get Consistent Fast

    Why do some people stay consistent while others restart every Monday? In this episode, we break down the research-backed link between identity, routines, and adherence—then make it practical with six aspirational avatars you can adopt today. Choose the identity that fits your season and plug in a matching L5 Method plan across training, nutrition, mindset, movement, and habits so your choices are pre-decided and your follow-through gets easier. We cover how identity-based habits reduce decision fatigue, why implementation intentions ("if X, then I do Y") boost success, and how repetition builds automaticity you can trust on busy days. Then we unveil six done-for-you playbooks: Peak Performer (busy professional) Strong Rebuilder (postpartum) Family Champion (parent in the chaos) Longevity Lifter (40+ healthspan focus) Builder-CEO (founder/operator) Momentum Maker (sustainable fat loss starter) You'll leave with a one-page plan: pick your avatar, run the L5 quick-start protocols, write three if–then plans for your common derailers, and test it for 14 days. Consistent results come from consistent inputs—start by choosing who you are.

    108. "I Didn't See My Progress—Until I Finally Looked" | Kir's Growth Journey

    In this powerful client interview, Kir opens up about what it's like to feel overwhelmed by life—and still move forward. With guidance from a mentor, Kir learned to slow down, reflect, and recognize real progress, even when it didn't feel obvious day to day. We dig into practical mindset shifts for self-awareness, reflection, and celebrating small wins, plus how support and accountability can fast-track personal growth. You'll hear how Kir reframed "I'm not doing enough" into evidence-based progress, why acknowledging small victories fuels motivation, and simple strategies to spot momentum when life is loud. If you've been grinding without seeing results, this episode will help you zoom out, own your growth, and keep going.
