    3 Gym Reps for Safer, More Connected Relationships | State, Story & Perspective | Ep.13

    Most people think relationships are built on communication. But communication is only the surface. Relationships are shaped by emotional fitness: the state you bring, the story you live inside, and the way you return to connection after disconnection. In Episode 13 of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews explore three practical Gym Reps for building safer, more connected relationships. These reps are simple: Pause and notice your state.Name the story that got activated.Practise perspective. This episode explores how emotional fitness shows up in romantic relationships, family, friendships, workplace conversations, and leadership. Together, Brent and Valerie unpack why relationship breakdowns often happen in the small repeated moments where emotional fitness is missing: the defensive tone, the old identity story, the projection, the shutdown, the reaction, or the need to be right. We explore: • Why state communicates before words• How identity stories shape behaviour under pressure• Why projection makes relationships less safe• How perspective widens possibility• Why self-responsibility is not self-blame• How emotional fitness supports repair, compassion, and connection• Why love is not just a feeling, but a skill that can be trained Your Gym Rep for the week: Once a day, in one meaningful moment: Pause and notice your state.Name the story that got activated.Practise perspective: past, present, and future.Ask: What am I bringing into this moment?What story is running me right now?What else could be true? Because emotional fitness is not about perfection. It is about presence. One rep at a time. ▶️ Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@EmotionalFitnessGymPodcast 🍎 Listen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/emotional-fitness-gym-podcast/id1892607601 🎧 Follow the show for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, relationships, and human behaviour. 🔔 Subscribe 📲 Turn on notifications 🏋️ Join us as we train emotional fitness, one conversation at a time. 🤝 Connect With Us 🧭 Brent Lindsayhttps://www.trilateraldynamics.com ✨ Valerie Andrewshttps://www.ifeelawesome.org 🎙️ EFG Podcast Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    3 Gym Reps for Capacity, Connection & Choice | Reflections on Miranda, Louise & Laura | Ep.12

    📌 Want to go deeper with this episode? Download the show notes and episode workbook here 📌www.trilateraldynamics.com/podcast-workbooks Three guests. Three Gym Reps. One deeper lesson about creating the space to choose. In Episode 12 of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews reflect on the practical wisdom shared by Miranda Packer, Louise Cramond, and Laura Gutiérrez. Miranda’s Gym Rep creates space in language: “A part of me is feeling…” Louise’s Gym Rep creates space in time: Pause for Peace. Laura’s Gym Rep creates space in the body: Make your breath conscious. Together, these three practices become a simple emotional fitness sequence: Name it.Pause.Breathe.Then choose. This episode explores why emotions can become identities, why busyness can disconnect us from ourselves, and how conscious breath helps us regulate before we react. We connect each Gym Rep to the Emotional Fitness Formula: • Identity: separating who you are from what you are feeling• Life Stages: creating stillness to hear what this season is asking of you• Emotional Flexibility: using conscious breath to stay present under pressure• Values and Perspective: choosing a response that protects both integrity and connection Your Gym Rep for the week: Use this four-step sequence once per day: “A part of me is feeling…” Pause for 60 seconds. Notice your breath without forcing it. Choose one values-aligned next step. You are not trying to become perfect. You are training the ability to return. One rep at a time. ▶️ Watch the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@EmotionalFitnessGymPodcast 🎧 Follow the show for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔔 Subscribe 📲 Turn on notifications 🏋️ Join us as we train emotional fitness, one conversation at a time. 🤝 Connect With Us 🧭 Brent Lindsayhttps://www.trilateraldynamics.com ✨ Valerie Andrewshttps://www.ifeelawesome.org 🎙️ EFG Podcast Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    Laura Gutiérrez on Breathwork, Anxiety & Coming Back to Yourself | Ep.11

    What changes when you stop treating breathing as automatic and begin using it consciously? In Episode 11 of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews are joined by Laura Gutiérrez, founder of The Love Approach Project, for a grounded conversation about anxiety, breathwork, emotional regulation, self-understanding, and coming back to yourself. Laura is an emotional fitness coach, breathwork facilitator, behavioural specialist and vibrational healer who supports people navigating stress, change, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. Her journey began in 2010 when severe anxiety and panic attacks disrupted her ability to leave home, connect with friends and family, study, and work. Her search for another way forward led her through energetic healing, personal development, coaching, behavioural awareness, and eventually breathwork. For Laura, breathwork became the missing piece. She describes the breath as sitting at the intersection of the mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Through the breath, we can access the whole of ourselves and begin to regulate from within. This episode explores: • Laura’s journey through anxiety and panic attacks• How personal healing became a path of service• Why stress and uncertainty change our breathing patterns• How breathwork supports emotional regulation• Why conscious breathing creates agency• The importance of breathing through the diaphragm• How Extended DISC and Human Design help people understand themselves• Why purpose can be found by asking, “What can I give?”• How breath and journalling can support daily emotional fitness Laura leaves listeners with a simple Gym Rep: Make your breath conscious. Pause and ask: “Where is my breath right now?” Notice its rhythm, pace, depth, and location in the body. That one moment of awareness can become a bridge back to calm, clarity, and choice. 🌬️ Connect with Laura and The Love Approach Project 🤍 Websitehttps://theloveapproachproject.com 📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/theloveapproachproject ▶️ YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@theloveapproachproject 🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@theloveapproachproject 🎧 Follow the show for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔔 Subscribe 📲 Turn on notifications 🏋️ Join us as we train emotional fitness, 1 conversation at a time. 🤝 Connect With Us 🧭 Brent Lindsayhttps://www.trilateraldynamics.com ✨ Valerie Andrewshttps://www.ifeelawesome.org 🎙️ EFG Podcast Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    Louise Cramond on Change, Identity & Coming Home to Yourself | Ep.10

    What happens when you no longer feel like the woman you used to be? In Episode 10 of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent Lindsay and Valerie Andrews are joined by Louise Cramond for a deeply human conversation about change, grief, identity, menopause, emotional awareness, and coming home to yourself. Louise is a coach, holistic counsellor, Emotional Fitness Formula practitioner, and Extended DISC behavioural profiler who supports women, including women in business, to navigate change and growth without sacrificing their health and wellbeing. Through her own journey of relationship breakdown, death, grief, motherhood, relocation, rebuilding, spiritual development, and years of client work, Louise came to understand that life’s difficult seasons are not always signs that something is wrong. Sometimes they are invitations into transformation. This episode explores what happens when women feel overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, or unlike themselves, and why these moments often ask for deeper self-awareness rather than self-judgement. We explore: • Why women may feel unlike themselves during major life transitions• Menopause as transformation rather than decline• How identity and values evolve through different life stages• Why partners, families, and workplaces must learn to grow with women through change• The role of grief, meditation, journalling, and spiritual practice• How Emotional Fitness and Extended DISC support self-understanding• Why healing often begins by returning to the love and wisdom already within you Louise also leaves listeners with a simple Gym Rep: Pause for Peace. Before awareness can emerge, we need to create enough stillness to notice what is happening within us. Pause. Breathe. Listen. That small moment can become the beginning of coming home to yourself. 🌸 Connect with Louise 🌿 The Sage Bloomhttps://thesagebloom.com.au au.linkedin.com/in/louise-cramond-52498319 https://www.instagram.com/the_sage_blooms 🎧 Follow the show for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔔 Subscribe 📲 Turn on notifications 🏋️ Join us as we train emotional fitness, 1 conversation at a time. 🤝 Connect With Us 🧭 Brent Lindsayhttps://www.trilateraldynamics.com ✨ Valerie Andrewshttps://www.ifeelawesome.org 🎙️ EFG Podcast Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym

    Daniel Burgess on Identity, Brotherhood & Why Men Wait Until Crisis | Ep.6

    A lot of men don’t change when they could. They change when they have to. In this episode of the Emotional Fitness Gym Podcast, Brent & Valerie sit down with Daniel Burgess to explore identity, brotherhood, and the patterns that shape how men live, lead, and relate. Daniel shares his personal journey, including a life-changing accident at 19 and how it reshaped his perspective on limitation, resilience, and what human beings are capable of when they stop accepting the stories they’ve been living inside. This conversation opens up a deeper look at why many men wait until crisis to change and what becomes possible when they don’t. We explore: • Why men often wait until things break before they shift • The impact of suppressed emotion and internal pressure • Brotherhood and the importance of being seen without judgement • How adversity shapes identity and character • What it looks like to question and rewrite your story It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about seeing clearly what’s been driving you and choosing differently. 💪 Connect with Daniel: www.kinsmen.global facebook.com/kinsmenglobal instagram.com/leadingrein Learn about the Hero’s Journey Messaging Cards: thephoenixexperience.com.au 🔥 Subscribe for grounded conversations on emotional fitness, identity, leadership, and human behaviour. 🔥 Turn on notifications 🔥 Join us as we train emotional fitness, 1 conversation at a time 🧩 Connect With Us Brent Lindsay - trilateraldynamics.com Valerie Andrews - ifeelawesome.org Facebook.com/EmotionalFitnessGym
