    Why Don't You Value Yourself? Clint on Self Worth

    How to value yourself: Clint on self worth and what drinking was really covering for. Four years ago Clint was stuck in what he calls a comfortable hell.

Where not valuing yourself starts: his brothers, Thanksgiving and Pictionary night Subconscious programming from ages 0 to 7 Johnna on the Hawaiian healing practices she's using to rewrite it How one meal he cooked for himself became the start of training Why valuing yourself changes how the people around you value you Why you don't have to break down to break through Chapters: 0:00 Hook: The Alcohol Was Never the Problem 0:36 Intro 0:59 A Season of Growth and Change 3:45 Where Clint's Mind Was Four Years Ago 5:09 Feeling Trapped 7:08 Trapped in a Comfortable Hell 10:56 How Alcohol Came Into the Picture 14:14 Alcohol Was the Remedy, Not the Problem 17:09 What Was the Remedy Masking? 20:27 Growing Up in His Brothers' Shadow 22:48 Thanksgiving Dinner and Not Being an Equal 24:46 The Pictionary Night Story 27:43 Subconscious Programming From Ages 0 to 7 29:11 Why You Don't Value Yourself: The Root 31:35 Hawaiian Healing Practices and Rewriting the Code 33:02 The Moment Clint Decided to Change 35:23 Investing in Yourself: Nutrition and the First Meal 41:07 Fitness: The Gateway Drug to Excellence 43:57 REBUILT Is an Identity Rebuild Disguised as a Fitness Program 44:56 Not Valuing Yourself Resurfaced This Week 46:23 Interviewing Himself to Rewrite REBUILT for Men 49:21 How to Value Yourself: Why It Changes How Others Value You 52:09 The Newsletter and "Does Anyone Care What I Have to Say?" 56:29 REBUILT for Men: More Than an Exercise Program 57:53 You Don't Have to Break Down to Break Through 59:16 Rate the Podcast REBUILT for Men is a complete identity rebuild disguised as a fitness program.

    She Talks to Nature Spirits in the Trees

    Johnna sees and talks to tree spirits. She has since she was three years old, and today she says it out loud. What we get into: How Johnna was raised as a fundamentalist Christian and told from a young age that what she sees in nature was demonic What she actually sees: faces in trees and other vegetation, going back to her first encounter at three Years of trying to exorcise it out of herself, and the relief of a trusted intuitive reader telling her she's seeing tree spirits The plumeria, monkeypod, and coconut trees she's connected with at home on Kauai, and why she talks to her tree before she works out The ancestor who came through with the same gift, silenced generations ago, and what it means to honor that line by speaking up Johnna's message to anyone who sees or feels things and was taught to be ashamed of it: lean in Why we changed our intro, and why we don't want to pigeonhole what this show covers There's more on this coming in future episodes.

REBUILT for Men and REBUILT for Women guide you through the first 12 weeks of a habit you keep for life. What we get into: Johnna's scariest move since we landed on Kauai: putting her training offer in front of the island's biggest local page Why she's getting back into personal training after burning out on it, and the boundaries she's setting this time Two ways to train with her: in your home on Kauai's South Shore, or online over FaceTime or any video call, with no app required Why she prefers building a real relationship over handing someone a program in an app What you need to start: a water bottle, comfortable clothes, and a willingness to learn Why one session a week is a fine place to begin Who she loves working with most: advanced-age adults and perimenopausal and menopausal women To train with Johnna, head to cjelevatedlife.com and scroll down to the training section.

    Remember Henry: What a Stranger at Home Depot Taught Us

    A week after Hurricane Lowell, we were in a genuinely dark place, not from the storm itself, but from a week spent doomscrolling a local Facebook page that made an entire island feel like it hated us. What we get into: Why a week glued to a toxic local Facebook page did more damage to us than the actual hurricane did Clint striking up a conversation with a Home Depot supervisor named Henry, who ended up needing that conversation as much as we did Why "you have no idea what you just did for us" went both directions How that one interaction gave us the courage to help two strangers with a dead car battery a few days later Why "remember Henry" is still written on our whiteboard This one picks up right where last week's episode left off.

    Invest in Yourself Before You Expect Anyone Else To

    This one's about the gap between the person you keep visualizing and the person you actually are right now, and why closing it always comes down to one thing: investment. What we get into: Why you can't expect other people to believe in you if you haven't invested in believing in yourself first Johnna's own investment story, from her first major weight loss to getting certified as a trainer to writing REBUILT from scratch, more than once Clint's "rental car" analogy for why some people spend money on a program and never actually own it Why fitness works as a gateway: invest in one area, and it starts bleeding into everything else A simple challenge: pick one thing this week, and actually invest in it REBUILT for Men ($67) and REBUILT for Women ($67) are both live now at cjelevatedlife.com, including the newsletter.

    REBUILT for Men and REBUILT for Women Are Live: Here's What's Inside

    Quick programming note: REBUILT for Men and REBUILT for Women are officially live, so we sat down to walk through what's actually in them and why this is the fourth rebuild of REBUILT itself. What we get into: Why Johnna rewrote it again, this time built for one specific person instead of trying to convince everyone What's inside: the Guide (the why), the 12-week Program (training and nutrition), and the Journal (a simple way to track progress) Why there's no six-pack-in-12-weeks promise anywhere in this program, and what the 12 weeks are actually for How the program adapts if all you have is bands and bodyweight, no full gym required Johnna's own numbers: over 100 pounds lost and kept off, and how she actually tracked it REBUILT for Men ($67) and REBUILT for Women ($67) are both live now at cjelevatedlife.com. Newsletter's there too if you want more of this in your inbox.

    Hurricane Lowell: The Real Kauai vs. the Online Version

    This one's different. We recorded it once already and scrapped it, the storm needed some distance before we could talk about it clearly. What we get into: What it was actually like riding out Hurricane Lowell in our home on Kauai's South Shore The real damage we saw firsthand along the coastline, and what recovery looks like right now Why the online reaction to the storm didn't match anything we experienced in person What tourism actually means to this island's economy, and why "never come back" isn't the answer A few concrete ways to actually help local businesses right now, if that's something you want to do We said early on we'd always be transparent here, even when the topic is hard. This is one of those. More at cjelevatedlife.com, including the newsletter.
