In this episode I unpack what actually leads to change. Not the hot takes and talking points that get clicks, but the quiet work of finding common ground, choosing curiosity, and having real one on one conversations. I share why telling someone they are wrong rarely shifts anything, how nuance gets lost when everything is framed as us versus them, and why I aim my message at people who are open to dialogue.

We talk about applying this to fitness and weight loss, then carrying it into the rest of life. I explain how mindful consumption of content matters, how I approach differing views without debate, and why self appreciation is the only absolute I push. If we can connect on one shared value, we can start listening to each other everywhere else. That is where change begins.

In This Episode
• Why common ground beats winning arguments.
• The power of one on one conversation for real change.
• Letting go of absolutes to make room for nuance and context.
• Mindful content consumption and how it shapes your outlook.
• Self appreciation as the foundation for sustainable growth.

I want to hear your perspective. Email me and tell me how you think change actually happens. daryl@yourlevelfitness.com

Episode Description

In this episode I share how I balance evergreen coaching with real time topics you care about. Evergreen, for me, is the heart of Your Level Fitness. Connect with yourself, live an inside/out life, appreciate the body you have, and reinforce it every day. That message never expires and it is always there for you.

Because I have a strong evergreen base, I can track what millennials and older are curious about in fitness right now. I ask you for your experiences, I listen for opposing points of view, and I fold that feedback into useful conversations. My background is not just my personal journey. I have trained in gyms and studios, coached groups and boot camps, and even led couch to five K runners to their first ten K.

I also bring my marketing and tech stack experience so the tools talk to each other and the work stays simple and scalable. I use AI thoughtfully to reframe my own words so the message is clear, consistent, and in my voice. The goal is a calm, deliberate pace. We will grow YLF, but not at the cost of authenticity or connection.

If you do not feel great about your body or yourself, start with ten minutes a day. Subscribe to the daily email, listen to the podcast, and practice the basics. I am always open to your thoughts. Email me at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com and tell me what is on your mind. Thanks for listening and watching, and I will talk to you again soon.

Episode Description
In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I take you behind the scenes of how I am navigating recovery, business, and long-term fitness. My workouts right now are focused on physical therapy stretches, functional movement, and adapting around limitations. I share why yoga has temporarily taken a backseat and how I am learning to apply patience and perspective to the process.

I also break down my approach to creating evergreen content that always connects with you no matter when you listen. Between the daily podcast, the blog, and the daily email, I’ve built systems that keep the message consistent and practical. On top of that, I talk about how I balance timeless resources with staying on top of trending topics so that the content remains both relevant and relatable.

You’ll hear how my background in corporate marketing and tech now influences what I do in fitness. I explain how AI, platforms, and tech stacks have given me tools to refine my message and build the YLF Experience into something sustainable. Just like with meal prep, where I look for the most effective but realistic approach, I see the same patterns in how people use technology.

I close by sharing how I apply my own YLF principles to my personal setbacks. Even through injuries, I keep myself calm and centered most of the time, giving myself grace when my mind jumps around before pulling it back in. This is the heart of the inside/out approach I talk so much about. It’s not just theory, it’s what I am living daily.

Episode Description

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I’m talking about two things that are very much part of my life right now. First, Taco Tuesday has officially become a lifestyle. Every week I look forward to grabbing the La Torta Loco taco special, and honestly it has become a little weekly anchor for me. It even helps me avoid unnecessary restaurant runs the rest of the week because I know the tacos are coming.

The other piece of my current reality is dealing with my ankles. I’m recovering from pretty severe internal bruising on one side and increasing discomfort on the other. That means MRIs, physical therapy, and a structured daily routine of stretches that are basically workouts themselves. The sessions range from twenty to thirty minutes depending on which set I do, and they’re hitting the exact areas that need support. The real challenge is staying calm, not rushing, and keeping perspective while managing all this with cerebral palsy in the background.

So today’s mix is tacos and CP. I’d love to hear about your favorite food specials, whether it’s Taco Tuesday or something else. If you have a spot I should know about, let me know. Heather and I love to check out local food whenever we’re traveling, so send your recommendations.

Thank you as always for listening. I’ll talk to you again real soon.

Episode Description

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I ask you to take a step back and consider when you last admitted you didn’t have everything one hundred percent correct. Not necessarily when you were outright wrong, but when your perspective wasn’t the whole truth. That moment of recognition, whether it comes through a therapist pointing out blind spots or simply from daily interactions with others, can be a powerful catalyst for growth.

We dive into the nuance of perception—yours and others. How what you say and do is filtered through not only your blind spots but also the blind spots of the people receiving it. Acknowledging when you miss something doesn’t make you flawed, it makes you human. It gives you the opportunity to foster better relationships, broaden your perspective, and let go of the need to always be right.

I share why leaning into that initial discomfort of being wrong is important, and how reframing it as a learning opportunity instead of a personal flaw can transform how you navigate the world. Living in a bubble where you’re never wrong might feel safe, but it also limits growth, connection, and self-awareness.

Today I ask you to choose a different path. It is easy to blame others for the life you have, and it is common to tear down people who are trying to change. That hot garbage mindset keeps you stuck. If you have been talking yourself out of what you want, this is your invitation to step in the other direction, take the first step, and trust that you will figure out the rest.

We unpack why calling others unrealistic is a shield for our own fear. Things look unreasonable until someone does them. Everyone who has accomplished something has faced adversity and found a way through. If you catch yourself tearing people down, stop. Decide who you want to be, take a step, and build from there.

I also talk about the voices in your head that say you cannot do it. Those voices were planted by others, sometimes by people close to you, sometimes by randos online. You can cut ties with those thoughts. You can choose self trust, action, and an inside/out approach that connects you to who you are before you move outward.

When you are ready, you will change. You will take the first step and you will trust yourself. I hope today is the day. At the end, I ask a fun check in. What food are you craving right now. Email me and let me know. I share what I am craving too, and point you to the links for resources and coaching so you can keep moving forward with clarity and consistency.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast I talk about choosing something different for yourself when you do not like where you are right now. We spend so much of our lives tied to past experiences and labels, and it can feel like we are stuck there. But you can make the choice at any moment to step into a new direction. It all starts with a decision.

This is not about mantras or forcing yourself into routines. It is about trusting yourself to take the first step, even when you do not have all the answers. That first step might work out, it might not, but either way you learn and move forward. Everyone is figuring things out as they go, and you are no different. The question is whether you will trust yourself to decide or continue letting others decide for you.

Yes, it will be uncomfortable. Growth always is. But staying under the pressure of other people’s labels is even heavier. You already know what your first step is, it is just a matter of whether you will give yourself permission to take it.

So if you do not like your situation, if you do not like how you are being perceived, change it. Do not let others dictate who you are or what you are capable of. Their opinions are often rooted in criticism because it is easier to tear someone else down than to build themselves up. Your power comes from choosing to trust yourself and moving forward one step at a time.

Episode Description

In this Almost Daily episode I unpack why I stepped away from interviewing guests for a while and where I want to take it next. When I first started this show I avoided interviews for months because I was nervous about interrupting and talking over people. Conversations with Gary Cantrell encouraged me to try, and from there I did hundreds of interviews, plus plenty of appearances and co hosting. Over time the vibe around guest episodes shifted. Casual story sharing turned into everyone needing to be an expert. Clips were cut for hot takes and quick views, which stripped the nuance that makes long form conversations valuable.

I also ran into the pressure of release schedules. Hitting a weekly cadence can make you chase a content cushion instead of being fully present with the person in front of you. Get too far ahead and it feels rigid. Fall behind and episodes slip, then a show suddenly becomes seasonal by accident. At the same time I have been tearing down and rebuilding Your Level Fitness. That work has taken a lot of focus, which meant fewer interviews even though I still love the format.

Podcasting still works. In a noisy scroll first world, you can press play and live your life while listening. I will be bringing interviews back with a few focused series. Some will be fitness. Some will be mental health. Some will be open conversations with curious people who want to explore ideas without chasing shock value. If you have thoughts or want to share your story, email me at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com. That is D A R Y L at yourlevelfitness.com. All YLF links are in the show notes. Thanks for listening. I appreciate you.
