Why don’t you think you’re enough? I walk you through how this belief forms over decades, not from a single defining moment. You’ll hear how the small experiences you collect over your life quietly build a story that convinces you that you don’t belong or that you will never measure up. We get into how comparison takes root when you don’t really know who you are. Not who you think you should be. Not who someone else appears to be. Who you actually are. If you don’t have that clarity, anyone who looks confident becomes the standard. I explain how this shows up in fitness, in your goals, in your habits, and honestly, all throughout your life. You’ll hear how high achievers often raise the bar every time they get close. I share personal examples from fitness, from YLF, and from the years where I tried to outrun discomfort by producing more and more. We talk about emptiness. We talk about sitting with yourself. We talk about why the hustle never ends until you choose to end it. I also cover the difference between improving yourself because you want to grow versus improving yourself because you feel empty. I share how productivity, content output, and chasing skills used to define my worth until I had to learn to exist without tying my value to what I produced. Then we get into trust. Trusting yourself is one of the hardest things you will ever do, especially if you have spent most of your life seeking permission, validation, or approval. You will not feel like you’re enough until you learn to follow your own thoughts and take action on them. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand that feeling enough is not a feeling that magically appears. It is something you practice and reinforce daily. You are enough right now. You can improve any area of your life that you want. But your worth has never been tied to achievement, output, or comparison. If you needed this episode, I’m glad you’re here.

    ADP 2,032: You Are Running Your Own Race

Most of us underestimate how much progress we’ve already made because we are our own harshest critic. We see every struggle, every pause, every setback, while assuming that everyone else is effortlessly moving forward. I break down the blind spots that show up when you forget that you are living a completely different life with different responsibilities, experiences, and challenges. You may not notice your own consistency. You may not see the skills you’ve developed. You may not acknowledge the resilience you show every time you get up and keep going after difficult seasons. But those things matter. They shape who you are becoming. We also talk about the habit of setting expectations that are so far beyond your current reality that you end up using perfection as a distraction. You tell yourself you need bigger goals or tighter standards, when the truth is you need simpler actions, clearer structure, and more compassion for yourself. Mastering the basics is what builds confidence. Confidence is what builds momentum. Momentum is what helps you trust yourself. And that trust is everything. When you trust yourself you stop giving up when things get messy. You stop assuming struggle means failure. You stop waiting for perfect conditions before you take action. You start seeing obstacles as part of the path, not proof that you should quit. Your pace, your path, and your progress are yours. There will be side quests, pauses, detours, bursts of energy, and slower seasons. All of it counts. All of it is part of running your own race with intention, awareness, and a calm headspace.

    ADP 2,031: The Day You Decide To Stop Waiting

I share how easy it is to rationalize our way out of taking action, convince ourselves that the timing isn’t right, or believe our work isn’t good enough to put out. I also talk about how quickly that mindset becomes a pattern that steals time we can never get back. I walk you through the early days of my blogging and podcasting journey, where I had the ideas, the plans, the drafts, and the structure, but still couldn’t get myself to hit publish. It took me months to get a second podcast episode out because I was in my head about everything. What finally changed things was choosing to take action even before I felt ready, and deciding I was going to publish something no matter what. Once I did that, the fear loosened and curiosity took over. When you start believing you are capable and let your actions reinforce that belief, everything changes. You stop looking for permission. You stop trying to predict every outcome. You get curious about what might happen if you try something new. That curiosity is what led to this podcast. It’s what led to the growth of the YLF blog. It’s what led to building the entire YLF ecosystem that now supports your inside/out process. I also share how time has proven the value of simply showing up. In a year of almost daily blogging, the website grew from one hundred visits a month to six hundred. The path wasn’t linear, and it never is. The ups and downs are part of the story. But progress only happens when you stop waiting and start creating. Time is moving fast. If you are in your thirties or forties, you feel that every single day. I do not want you to look back and regret the seasons of your life where you talked yourself out of taking action. You deserve better than that. You deserve to trust yourself, follow through, and take steps toward the life you want. Thank you for listening.

Most people only know parts of who you are, and many times they like the idea of you more than the full version of you. That’s not a bad thing. It’s just part of life, especially when you’re building self-awareness and living from the inside/out. We all want to be understood, but the truth is that not everyone deserves full access to us. Knowing your worth isn’t just about saying it, it’s about enforcing it. Part of that enforcement means being selective about who gets your time and energy. Not everyone needs to know your story or understand your decisions. Let people think what they’re going to think, because they will anyway. Most of the time, their opinions are reflections of how they see themselves, not you. This applies to every part of life, including fitness. People might judge your choices, your pace, or your goals without knowing your reasons. But you don’t owe anyone an explanation for how you live your life or pursue your health. When you stop explaining and start living authentically, you free up a lot of mental energy to focus on your own growth. The smaller the circle of people who truly understand you, the calmer your life becomes. And the more you connect with yourself, the less you feel the need to be understood by others. That’s one of the quietest and most powerful shifts you can make. Thank you for listening and for continuing to build this community focused on living from the inside/out.

    ADP 2,029: Stop Chasing Approval Start Living

You have spent years, maybe decades, carrying the weight of messages that told you that if you just lost enough, fixed enough, or proved enough, you would finally be worthy. I want to help you drop that story. We talk about what happens when you hit the goal, lose the weight, follow the program, use the tools, and still look in the mirror and feel the same. For so many, it is not just about seeing the same body. It is about feeling like the same person and still not liking that person. That is the part that hurts. That is where the real regret can creep in. Instead of living your entire life chasing quick fixes and external approval, I want you to build something you will actually want to do for the rest of your life. You already have what you need inside of you to do that. My role is to put out content that reminds you to appreciate yourself from the inside/out. The podcast, the blog, the emails, the resources are all there to reinforce a different kind of message. One that tells you that you are not behind, you are not in competition with anyone else, and your path is allowed to look different. We dig into how subtle and direct marketing, fitness culture, and comparison keep you feeling less than. We talk about the signs that you might be rationalizing a life that does not fit you. And we talk about how things shift when you are genuinely fulfilled and aligned. When you are connected to who you are, you start to want everyone to win, because you are finally on your path. I do not want you to regret the time and energy you have already spent. I want you to use everything you have learned to build a life, a process, and a relationship with yourself that actually feels like yours.

Trust yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not good enough, like you don’t belong, or like you’re faking it until you make it, this episode is for you. I talk about imposter syndrome, confidence, and what it really means to live life on your own terms. Confidence doesn’t come from achieving enough to finally believe in yourself. It starts the moment you decide to. You can’t think your way into self-trust through endless self-help content or action lists. You build genuine confidence by making a choice first, then reinforcing that belief through everything you do. I share how I’ve lived this firsthand—being five foot seven, bald, and living with a visible disability—and how choosing to believe in myself has shaped everything in my life. When you make that same choice, you stop chasing validation from others. You stop performing for approval. You begin building your life from the inside/out. This isn’t about pretending to have it all figured out. It’s about trusting that you’ll figure it out as you go. Every single thing you do from that decision forward becomes evidence of your belief in yourself. It starts with one choice. Make it today.

I share how fast time really moves, from realizing how long ago college was, to early career memories, to seeing Your Level Fitness work anniversaries pop up and thinking about everything that has happened in between. It is wild how quickly years pass while we are busy chasing the next achievement or highlight moment. This is your reminder to be present where you are. To notice the small stuff. To appreciate the boring good days before they become the memories you wish you could get back.
