What if the reason change hasn’t lasted… isn’t your discipline, motivation, or willpower but your mindset?

In this episode, I’m joined by Jamie Elston, a mindset-led coach whose personal journey challenges everything we’ve been taught about fitness, success, and self-worth.

Jamie grew up carrying the label of “the fat kid.” Years of bullying, body shame, and all-or-nothing thinking shaped how he saw himself long after the moments had passed. By 18, that internal struggle led to anorexia. Even when his body changed, the disconnection didn’t.

It wasn’t until one simple sentence from a coach reframed everything that Jamie stopped chasing extremes and started building a life that actually felt sustainable.

That moment changed not just how he trained but how he lived.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why motivation fades and mindset is what makes change stick
• How old labels quietly dictate our choices and self-worth
• The danger of all-or-nothing cycles and “starting again Monday”
• Why doing less (not more) often leads to better results
• Why external success doesn’t create internal peace without inner work
• The mindset shifts that genuinely set you up for a different year ahead

This episode isn’t about New Year hype, punishment, or pushing harder.

It’s about alignment, self-trust, and designing change that lasts.

If you’ve ever felt tired of trying, failing, and starting again this conversation will meet you where you are and show you a more compassionate way forward. 🌱

🎧 Listen in and ask yourself:
What story am I still living from and am I ready to rewrite it?
