What if your workouts and nutrition aren’t failing because of discipline but because of your inner child? In this episode, we dive into the deep connection between exercise, nutrition, trauma healing, and reparenting your inner child. You’ll learn why your inner child rebels when health feels like punishment, how your ego sabotages your fitness goals, and why showing up without “tools” (fuel, rest, or support) leaves your body unable to build the strong, healthy life you want.

F45 Grand Re-Opening Promos End August 31, 2025!

We’ll explore:

• Why movement is medicine for stored energy, emotions & trauma
• How neglecting nutrition after a workout is like showing up to a job site without tools
• The 3 people you must keep your promises to: your inner child, tomorrow-you, and 80-year-old-you
• The worthiness wound — and why healing it changes everything about fitness, food & self-care
• Strength training as a metaphor for life, growth, and proving your inner child right: you are capable

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep sabotaging myself?” or “Why do I fall off track when things are going well?” this conversation will help you break free from old patterns and see fitness, health, and self-love in a whole new way.
