First off, we chat with Katina Gnidziejko from Burn Boot Camp, Prosper. Kat is the head trainer at the brand new facility down in Texas and is also the mom of 2 teen daughters. We talk about nutrition, how to navigate raising daughters in the world of "diet culture," and how we can combat the obesity epidemic that is quickly spreading in the United States. 

Next, we welcome Stephanie Drew. I've know Stephanie for many years now as she's been a part of Burn Nation from nearly the start. Stephanie Drew is the owner of Burn Boot Camp North Durham. Stephanie and I dig into business ownership and how she has turned so many of her passions and hobbies into careers. 

Finally, we welcome Meg Thibodeau, the head trainer at Burn Boot Camp South Lakeland. Her story is pretty neat as she started as a client roughly 8 months after the birth of her son. Battling postpartum depression, she found Burn to be a place that helped her rise out of that time in her life. Today, as the head trainer, she finds herself inspiring her clients to live their best lives through fitness and building a strong mental health lifestyle, too!

VULNERABILITY STARTS WITH ENGAGEMENT 

When you engage, you are saying, I need help! If you ask for it, you shall receive it! When you can't be vulnerable, you may have trouble being your true self. I want you to be the best, most authentic person you can be!

REWRITE THE CHAPTERS

Sometimes it is useful to write the last chapter 1st to visualize where you want to go. Regardless of fear, regardless of failure, you get to identify the meaning behind the experiences of what happen to you in life. 

CHOOSE YOUR PEOPLE

Push your friends, don't let each other get complacent. That's it.

Vulnerability

Figure out what drives you and then apply yourself! By speaking things into existence, you'll see positive changes. It's not about becoming Instagram famous; it's about becoming the best version of yourself. 

Engage with me. Tag me on Instagram. Use me as your resource!! I am here for you! 

On Fatherhood 

Each time Morgan and I have brought another child into the world, it's caused me to re-evaluate and think about how I am living my life! I work to ask myself better questions that fuel me to make better decisions. There is such a thing as good and evil thinking and questions. I want you to stop choosing the thoughts that are sabotaging you! 

What questions are you asking yourself? 

What are you thinking about? 

Are they quality questions? 

Would I talk to my best friend the way that I am talking to myself? 

It's time to start examining your life a bit closer! 

Black Lives Matter

I don't have all the answers, but at Burn Boot Camp, we are striving to be a representation of a strong America. Black lives do matter; we need to start saying it. Right now, the world is not equal, and it's not about all lives mattering.

I am a firm advocate for bringing equality to our black friends, family, and community. No ifs, ands or buts. 

Freedom = Creativity 

I've trained over 10,000 different camps and it's been so great being back with all of you. This begs me to ask the question: what is your gift? 

When you are in the mindset where you're naturally congruent, you're creative. Creative = freedom! When times get tough, challenge yourself to get back to what is natural to you! 

I've stopped competing with Gary Vee, Grant Cardone and Mel Robbins because I need to compete with me, not them. They are my role models, I do emulate them. But on a daily basis, ask yourself: am I in a state that is adding value to my life?

Here are the 8 things you should fear:

1. Fear worrying too much. 
2. Not following your passion. 
3. Forgetting to focus on YOUR happiness.
4. Letting other's opinions control you. 
5. Being scared to take a risk. 
6. Spending money before you save it.
7. Living your life for the outcome. 
8. Not showing love to your family.

This is a throwback to our quarantine edition! 

Morgan starts off the episode talking about her experience with pregnancy during COVID-19. As with many things in life, Morgan talks about the fact that she can only control so much and it's important that she stayed focused on what she can control. 

Fast forward to June and luckily, I was able to join her in the hospital for the birth of our 3rd baby Ryan Michael Kline! Check out this adorable video of when we brought Ryan home from the hospital and introduced him to Cameron and Maxwell. 

From there, I dive into the following: 

1. How do we build muscle without access to all of the proper weights? Three words. Time under tension. 
2. How can we stay on track with nutrition when our schedules change, like during COVID, or even just during the summer months home with kids?
3. We play a game of would you rather! 

We had a lot of fun as a family during quarantine but we are so glad to be getting back to a new normal. Even better, we now have our new little guy, Ryan Michael, at home and safe and sound! 

Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and leave me a review! 

Sally talks about being the kid who always wanted to play sports but never quite got it. Sally put in all the work but never was able to "succeed." After going to college, Sally talks about spiraling through 8 medications, depression, anxiety, binge drinking, and more. 

At 25, Sally hit a turning point. She realized that it was time to change. After a .2 mile run, she simply started to make gradual changes every day. Sally was frustrated that no one ever told her that this is all she needed to do to be in shape. And, from that point on, Sally decided she wanted to make sure no one felt the way she did. 

Sally's story is fantastic! Tune in today! 

We are going to talk about three things today: 

1. What are our three performance goals?

2. Intermittent fasting.. yes, no, maybe so? 

3. Let's talk about powerlifting!

See The Next Level 

You are pushing yourself every day and I see you! I want you to know that growth and progress is happiness. Stop comparing yourself to others and start comparing yourself to what you did yesterday. 

The workouts can be hard. Motivation can be lacking. But I promise you, commit to the workout and you'll walk away feeling stronger, healthier, and happier. You may be sore. But you will conquer yourself and take a step toward your goals. 

We all have a long way to go but I want you to look onto the next step and continue to push yourself. Don't ask yourself if you are going to be in a new place, but where will you be! 

Looking vs. Feeling Good: GET YOUR STRETCH ON! 

As we get older, it's important to remember that feeling good is what we are chasing! Stretching is so important. Do this stretch with me. 

When you stretch, you are relieving tension in your body. It's important to oxidize your body and let it go. I want you to remember to be patient and stay sitting in this stretch. Sit deep down into the stretch because mobility is equally as important as strength. 

Do you find yourself skipping stretches at the end of a camp? Stop doing that!! Take the time to stretch, lengthen, and give your body a chance to breathe. 

I urge you to commit to ONE workout per week that solely focuses on stretching. Stay tuned for more content coming your way in the world of stretching! 

Smash The Scale 

I am so tired of the scale. Are you? While weight is an important bio-marker, I want you to remember that it's not just about weight. As you reduce your body fat, you will notice an abundance of changes. 

I want you to thrive on intuition. What matters is how you feel. The scale can measure you weight but not your worth. 

Why One Pull Up Matters

The pursuit of the goal lies in performance but not weight, right? At some point in your fitness journey, you will need performance goals to stay motivated. As we get closer to a healthy range of body fat, it's harder to lose weight so performance goals will help drive you to succeed. 

Here is my singular goal for all of my clients, it's very simple. I want everyone to be able to do ONE unassisted pull-up. Most people cannot do it YET. But, I want you to start working towards that today. 

It takes character to fight for these performance goals because you will force yourself to fail. Your response to failure will determine if you push yourself to the next level.

Protein Matters 

I want you to maximize protein synthesis in effort to take you to the next level. We want to build more muscle fiber. Science proves if you're doing a hypertrophy workout, it's so important to get about protein soon after to aid in recovery. 

Get your protein in right after your workout. Afterburn is a great solution for your protein needs! Afterburn is designed for muscle growth and recovery. This Grass-fed Whey Protein has 23Gs of protein, only 120 calories, and has no added sugar or artificial flavors. This delicious protein powder is the perfect addition to your diet to help you reach your fitness goals.

I find clichés to bring about an interesting dynamic. We answer the following questions with you today! 

1. Are we really confused about what we should be eating? 
2. Is the 80/20 rule something that is for everyone? 
3. What are some ways to fall in love with the process?

Tune in to learn more about fueling your body properly, making nutrition simple and so much more!

The Louisville magician is a fantastic competitor and he is really holding down the fort in Kentucky for Burn Nation! We talk about some really fun things, so let's go! 

Cam is a kick-ass programmer. I dig in with Cam and ask him to share what's going on in his mind when he sees the protocol and how he brings creativity to the table. HINT: He's not a huge planner! 

Cam grew up being a wrestler and learned so much from the sport and training to succeed. From honing in on nutrition, developing a strong discipline, and knowing his limits, Cam has been able to take his experiences into focus meetings and working with clients. 

Of the 750+ trainers in Burn Nation, Cam has gained a lot of respect as a leader among leaders. I ask Cam how he transitions his leadership principles into his members and how he's helped Burn Boot Camp grow throughout Kentucky. 

Also, tune in to hear how Cam and his family are building a farm! 

Cam is a stand-up guy, an awesome trainer, and also spends his days raising a family with his wife. I am so honored to have Cam as a leader in Burn Nation!

Some Mental Fitness

Post-workout is a great time to take in information and absorb education. This is simple, sweet, and to the point. Whether you don't workout, you're lazy and feel guilty about it, or if you workout and you're tired and sore, both of those things are hard. Choose your hard. 

Apply Curiosity 

Life is flying by whether you like it or not. It's time for you to gain some perspective. Thoughts become words, words become behaviors, and actions that then drive new thoughts. It's cyclical. I want you to apply some quality assurance to your thoughts. 

Stop. Apply curiosity - quality assurance. Then act. Your freedom is being imprisoned by your lack of curiosity. 

Stop Defining Yourself By Your Past

Align your behavior with your goals. But, don't dwell on the mishaps. You might not always get exactly what you want but your effort will keep you progressing. 

I've been there. I've eaten way too many donuts. I've made mistakes. But I am not going to define myself by those mistakes. It's how you respond to your mistakes that matter and make you the person you strive to be. 

Temptation is Everywhere 

With life slowly starting to open back up, temptation is around every corner. Indulgence is great every once in a while but you must apply yourself. You can't give in to temptation each and every day. 

False hunger cues trigger you to eat. You may be thirsty, but you're definitely not hungry. It's a matter of language. Divert your attention and break your patterns. Temptation will cease. 

Break the pattern with a walk, a phone call, 10 jumping jacks, go throw in some laundry or pick-up a book. Find a strategy that works for you so that you can take small steps towards your north star, your goals, your purpose each and every day. 

Ask For Help + A Tip From Morgan! 

I am here to help you. I want you to ask for help. You're not alone! Morgan shares with us how important it is to lean on one another for support.

NO DAYS OFF 

Let me tell you what "no days off" means to me! Everyone needs to give their body a breather from weights and high-intensity but that does not mean sit still. From yoga, foam rolling, heading out for a long walk, there are great things you can do to take a rest from heavy lifting. I will never tell you how to set up your weekend plan. That's up to you. You know your weekends are coming every weekend. 

• Set up your environment to be around people who are generally healthy. 
• What days of the week are you going to allow yourself 10% to modify your healthy lifestyle? 

Then, get to living. 

WHEN I KNEW BURN BOOT CAMP WAS GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL

I've told this story before. It was a Saturday camp in 2012 in the parking lot. This is the moment I knew that we had something special. What we've created a Burn Boot Camp is a community. We are more than a workout. We are more than fitness. Listen in and I will tell you this amazing story of teamwork, accountability, and more. 

SKIP THE COOKIE CUTTER PLANS

I don't like "cookie-cutter" plans for you. WHY? It's done TO YOU and not FOR YOU. You need something unique for your body, your personality, your lifestyle. We don't share the same goals, might be similar, but not the same.

So, how can a "done for you plan" be beneficial? There is no one way to do it. We want you to be you. I want your life to work for you. Life is no fun on someone else's plan. When you have ownership, you are far more likely to succeed. 

OWN YOUR GOALS

I want you to set goals that are BIG. You are setting your goals too low. The hard fact is that you've got to get out of your comfort zone. Belief leads to momentum, momentum leads to results, results lead to more potential. It's time to take control of your life. We are transcending fitness and translate into other areas of your life. 

IT'S NOT PHYSICAL FITNESS

 When we start working out, we start to see our bodies change. That's not transformation. It's all about being aware of your emotional fitness and take advantage of the way that you physically look. There are millions of people who LOOK GREAT but FEEL BAD. I want you to FEEL GOOD and LOVE HOW YOU LOOK. Empower yourself to live your best life. Move your body.

Today we talk about: 

• How to achieve long-lasting results 
• We play a fun word game to help us grow our vocabularies 
• What books we are reading now  
  • Morgan: Light Is The New Black 
  • Devan: Shut Up and Listen 
• What we love about our relationship and some fun relationship advice 
• What do Morgan and I love to spend money on 
• How to get curious and identify your gaps 
• Gut and brain health 
• The power of breathing and my breathing exercise that I do every day 
• Destigmatizing mental health with Morgan

When you hear about Jessica in the ring, you listen to things about her having quick hands, impeccable footwork, and a diverse range of punching combos. But, after talking to her today, I came to realize she is far more than just an award-winning MMA fighter. 

Jessica is inspiring in her own right and knows a lot about believing in herself and overcoming the odds. I learned a lot from her, and I know you can too. 

Dating back to her childhood, Jessica talks about how her father was physically and emotionally abusive. At 32 years old, she's been able to grow from those experiences rather than let the negativity take over. 

Not only has she worked to overcome a tough childhood, but she's also faced pushback for being a female in the world of MMA. Her will, her determination, and luckily, some coaches who believed in her helped to make her dream a reality. 

I love how Jessica empowers women, like the women in our Burn Boot Camp gyms, to go after what they know they can do. She's pushed through self-doubt, knockouts, and rough fights to hold the title as #1 in the UFC women's flyweight rankings and #12 in UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings.

During some of Jessica's biggest failures, she has found that people see her strength the most. Her goal, aside from being a great athlete, is to inspire people to do anything that they want to do. 

Check out the full episode because Jessica has so many awesome things to share. 

• Her childhood and growing up in Cleveland, OH
• The trials and tribulations of Jessica's journey through UFC
• Being the first UFC female to fight in Mexico City 
• Losing a match because of a failed test or missing weight
• Losing streaks and winning streaks 
• How she's grateful for her male training partners 
• Her relationship with her brother
• Social media pressures 
• Jessica's mindset
• Building self-confidence and so much more..

Mike Hartshorne is the owner of Burn Boot Camp Concord, Burn Boot Camp Harrisburg and Burn Boot Camp Grand Rapids!

We talk about what our biggest challenges have been when it comes to building the Burn Boot Camp business and brand. Mike shares that his transition from the head trainer, owner, Burn Ambassador, and more to stepping back and not being able to be that main person was tough for him. But, because of that, Mike has been able to open multiple locations and help change even more lives in communities in many states. 

Mike has been around since the parking lot days, and we get to reminisce on that amazing time in the Burn Boot Camp journey. We also answer some of these questions: 

• How to become a great Burn Boot Camp trainer

Today, I urge you to remember this: Your past does not define you. I've experienced a lot of trauma, mostly throughout my childhood and teen years.

At 32 years old, I can see that my past, those negative experiences do not define me. Instead, they drive me to be the person I am today. 

The question I am asking you is not ARE you going to be somewhere in 5 years, but WHERE will you be in the next five years. Time will pass regardless of what you do, so be sure to choose wisely. 

Here are some things I want you to remember: 

• You gut instinct should hold the most weight 
• You are what you continually speak
• Your energy unlocks your potential power 
• Unlock your energy by putting forward an enchanted vision of your life 
• Set your goals based on what hasn't been done 
• Take time to DREAM BIG, and you can unlock a new level of confidence 
• Failing at a big goal is a more significant achievement than completing a small goal, so play big

My promise to you is this: I will always push you. I will always challenge you. I want you to crush goals that you never thought were possible. 

Tune in today because I want you to succeed. For more inspiration and motivation, head over to my Instagram @devan.kline.

Your rituals are the building blocks of the ultimate purpose of your life. Rituals and habits are not the same. Habits fluctuate, rituals are rigid and require discipline. You need rituals to live your best life. 

Here are the categories I use to build rituals:  

1. Pregame 
2. Nutrition 
3. Fitness 
4. Family 
5. Personal Development 
6. Connection
7. Mission 
8. Bedtime

When we don't take care of our bodies, we don't just rick our health, we can potentially lose everything. But, we are never too far gone. It's time to start paying better attention to our bodies, the fuel we provide ourselves, the movement we grant ourselves and more. 

Like my favorite rapper famously sings, "If you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment. Would you capture it. Or just let it slip?"

Simple changes make a big difference. Something as simple as "I can't" vs "I haven't yet" can be a game-changer. 

Today, I dive into how we can eliminate words and language that deter us from our goals; and then, add-in positive self-talk to increase productivity. I want you to understand how to use transformative language can change your life for the better.  

It's time to recognize how your words impact your life. Stop letting words throw you off course and allow your self-talk to drive you to success! 

When we don't take care of our bodies we could be risking our entire well being- mentally, physically, and emotionally. The truth is, so many people take the ability to move their bodies for granted. There are people all across the world dreaming of a body they can use to do daily tasks, let alone exercise.

Showing your body respect and love is the foundation and such a blessing people take for granted every single day. Let this be your reminder to get up and get moving!

The brain has one function and one purpose, for the last two million years. Your brain houses your thoughts specific to your life. Your heart functions as Intuition and guidance.

Work-life balance is something we've all struggled with on our entrepreneurial journies. When you're passionate about your work, it can feel artificial to push it all aside and not integrate it 24/7. When it comes to balancing family and work, focusing on the quality of time rather than the quantity is so important! People often jump to the 'no technology' rule in order to connect, but we've found that it's possible to connect through technology! Utilizing technology to spend time together can be so beneficial because it's such a normal part of our world today.

Well, I'm sharing with you today why I don't subscribe to that mentality. Life is meant to be long and, more importantly, life is meant to be maximized. Most of us probably have decades ahead of us, so we're fooling ourselves by living out this excuse. 

We only get this one body and this one life. Why don't we want to take care of that body as well as we can? It comes down to how are we framing the foundation in which we take care of ourselves. Our lifestyle choices predicate what type of life we're going to live. The choices we make dictate our quality of life. 

My question to you is this: are you going to perceive life as long or short? 

I promise you that once you start reflecting on where you've been, where you are, and where you want to be it's amazing how long life actually starts to feel.

Chalene didn't necessarily intend to launch a career in fitness, but instead, she saw an entrepreneurial opportunity to help people solve a problem.  She saw that fitness was really the gateway drug for personal development. 

In a world that's hungry for the "right" answer when it comes to health & wellness, Chalene set out to find it. But, the truth turned out to not be so marketable:  it's not the same for every person and it's complicated.  What she did find through developing her 131 Method is that each one of us needs to be on our own journey and that we need to change over time. In essence, it teaches you to give your body permission to respond to it to find what works for you. 

Chalene's philosophy all comes down to this: you do you. Our bodies, experiences, and lives are all different and we have to approach our health with those things in mind in order to be successful.

For me, I've found that my pathway to health can include some indulgences. Instead of obsessing over what we're eating, we can instead become more intuitive about how we feel. Every morning take an audit of how you feel, how you look, and what your energy level. Intuitive Eating is us A / B testing every day to see what works best for our body. 

It's pretty simple: eat what you want, and if you wake up the next day and you feel worse, then adjust. But, the key is that we have to be willing to change when our body communicates back with us.

From Trainer-to-Trainer, we break down how important it is to listen to your body and remember, "the gym is where you are."  With so much going on, incorporating balance is a great jumping-off point. You don't need an hour every single day; sometimes, it's squatting your babies in the driveway and chasing them around the yard. 

Finding a workout habit that is fun, motivating, and engaging is the most important factor when it comes to sticking to it. Second to that is finding a supportive person or crew of people who help you along the way. 

There is no perfect equation, but Emily and I both agree on this:  It is your responsibility to surround yourself with supportive people who want to see you succeed at that healthy lifestyle you've grown to love. It's time for you to dictate your happiness!

The big takeaway for Drew is that transformation is about way more than just physical weight loss. Trainers have the tools to help people reach their goals, but truly understanding the other layers that go along with it is so crucial, too. Drew shares about how this experience shaped him and how he's working on changing the narrative in the fitness industry towards one that has way more empathy. We talk about how interconnected our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves are and how to nurture these different areas. Drew also shares perspective on popular diets in today's wellness culture and how there's truly no one size fits all solution. Drew offers tactical advice based on his own experiences to tap into the idea that transformations are body, mind, and soul. Wherever you're at in your journey, I think you'll relate to so much of what Drew shares.  

My favorite quotes from Drew in this episode…

"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." 

"Transformations are about so much more than physical weight loss."

We are our own worst enemy. 

Your thoughts, your doubts, your ego, your excuses, your lack of motivation, and your lies to yourself are all responsible for holding you back.  

I firmly believe success is 90% psychology and 10% mechanics. This means you need to focus more on your mentality rather than your tactics to achieve your goals.  

In this episode, I help you break down your barriers and push you to be honest with yourself about how you are holding yourself back. It's time to get out of your way and take your health and fitness to the next level.

If so, I bet you are making the number one mistake when it comes to setting goals. 

Most likely, your goals have something to do with losing weight, losing body fat, or losing inches. Everyone's goals are centered around losing. But in my opinion, the world "losing" has such a negative connotation with negative vibes attached to it. What if the reason you can't reach your goals is that you are focusing on is bringing more negativity into your life?  

In this episode of Next Level, I talk you through shifting your goal-setting mindset from "losing" to "gaining."

Wherever you focus is where all your recourses, energy, time, and attention go. If you are so focused on something with negative vibes, you'll bring more negativity into your life. Instead, focus on everything you want to gain. Focus on gaining strength, gaining momentum, gaining confidence, gaining happiness, or whatever it is you want to gain.  

There is so much to gain; you don't need to focus on what you need to lose. 

Tune in to the full episode where I ask you pressing questions and share my best advice on how to set goals and reach them with greater success.

My favorite point Jessamyn makes in this episode is: you should treat body shaming and self-hate as the addictions they are. She says, "I learned how to shame myself at a very young age, and I feel like I'm in a permanent state of recovery. It's something I literally work on every day." 

Jessamyn makes it clear there is no quick fix solution when it comes to learning to love yourself and your body. There is no mantra to repeat, and there is no magic trick you can do. You need to put in the work. It's unpleasant and not pretty to look at, but the results are beyond what you could ever imagine.  

The first step towards rehabilitation is detaching from what others think about you and starting to focus on how you feel about you. Most often, why we fail to love ourselves is because of caring too much about what others think. We need to realize the people who judge us are projecting their insecurities onto us. We should never allow their insecurities to create insecurities within ourselves.

When you overcomplicate nutrition, there is no way it will become a lifestyle. The reason we don't eat healthily isn't that we don't know how. We all know what foods we should and shouldn't be eating. The reason we don't eat healthily is that it's not the most comfortable choice. 

So how can we make eating healthier easier?  

In this episode of Next Level, I'm giving you my best five tips for simplifying nutrition and helping you develop a healthy diet you can maintain long term. 

Here is my first tip for making it easier for you to start eating healthier in your life... 

Start with one small thing you know you can do.  

Often when people want to make healthier choices, they go from 0 to 100. They either cut everything out all at once, or they cut out the one thing they love most. 

I've had so many clients addicted to drinking soda, and when they decide they are serious about reaching their health and fitness goals, they also decide this is the first thing they need to eliminate from their diet. But, since they are addicted, this is also the more difficult thing for them to do. 

My advice is to pick one thing you know for a fact you can hold yourself accountable for, either eliminating from your diet or adding to your diet. If cutting out soda seems way too hard to do right now, what is something that doesn't look as hard? 

Once you chose the one habit you know you can successfully eliminate or add, and you do so for a certain period, it will create momentum for you.  You will feel proud of yourself, and it will get you excited to continue to make more changes. I like to call it the magic-of-momentum cycle. Soon, you will have the willpower and strength to do that one thing you know is the hardest.

My favorite quotes from Bruce in this episode... 

"How do I not love myself enough to do these things for my health and happiness? This became my 'why'– find unconditional love for myself." 

"My macros, diet, and workouts didn't matter if my mindset wasn't right. Once I fixed my mindset, I became unstoppable."

Do you try to control everything?  

Do you think you're already good enough and don't need to grow? 

Do you get defensive when someone provides you with criticism? 

Do you think you're more important than everyone else? 

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you have an ego problem. 

The one thing that will stop your progression more than anything on this planet is your ego.  You and your ego are two different things. If you're living out of your ego, it will be impossible for you to become the best version of yourself, because your ego is your false self. 

I'm not going to lie to you; I had an ego. I used to live through my false self, allowing my ego to control every part of me. I thought I was the best and the smartest, and I couldn't handle it when someone told me otherwise. I realized I was lying to myself when I thought about these things. 

The greatest thing I've learned, and my overall message for you in this episode, is to speak your truth. It wasn't until I began speaking my truth and was able to overcome the ego problem that I began to see real success in my life. I learned the hard way that our truth lies within ourselves, and our false reality lies within our ego. That's why I want to share with you seven signs of having an ego problem, empowering you to cultivate the same awareness, and avoid making the same mistakes I did. 

When you become aware of the fact that you are living in your false reality, and begin working towards living through your true self, you'll experience more success in your life. 

The last question is: do you have an ego problem? 

Most people would say it's their lack of motivation. They think developing more motivation is the key to their success. But what they need to do is determine the reason they lack it in the first place.

Lack of motivation is just one layer. When you peel back that layer, you will expose yourself to what is keeping you from achieving your goals. You will reveal your insecurities and your fears and your lack of self-confidence and self-love. You will realize it's not motivation that's been stopping you but is the fact that you have no idea the potential you hold within yourself.

The hardest thing to accomplish in any goal isn't the goal itself. The hardest thing is cultivating the ability to believe in yourself–know you are capable of achieving your goal.

No matter what you're trying to accomplish, all the power you need is already within you; you need to believe it's there and work to unleash it.

In this episode of Next Level, I'm joined by Chris Downing, Beachbody Super Trainer, and motivational speaker, who will empower you to take your health, fitness, and life to the next level through showing you how to unleash the power you already have within yourself.

When you find yourself stuck in your life and aren't taking in any new information, you get stuck with the same thoughts. If these thoughts are negative, they create negative emotions, and so on. When you aren't able to take control of these negative emotions, they take control of you and your life. If you allow your negative emotions to have power, it means you are never the one in control.  

The question is, how can you change your negative emotions so you can finally regain control? 

In this episode of Next Level, I share three practical and impactful ways to reverse engineer your psychology and successfully change your negative emotions.  

If you answered yes, this episode of Next Level is for you.  

My guest, Joel Freeman, is committed to helping you live a happy, healthy life long term, and helping you find the right approach for reaching your health and fitness goals. A Beachbody Super Trainer, Master Fitness Presenter, creator of LIIFT4 and co-creator of CORE DE FORCE, with over 15 years of experience, he has become one of the leading personal trainers in the industry.  

Here's what motivates Joel: making a personal impact on people's lives and helping them see that it doesn't always have to be challenging to make the necessary changes. You don't need quick fixes, and you don't need fad diets. You don't need to overcomplicate nutrition and fitness. And, you don't need to make it unmanageable in your day-to-day life. In this episode of Next Level, Joel explains what you can do instead. 

My favorite thing Joel said in the episode was, "People always come to me saying they keep falling off the fitness wagon, and it makes me so frustrated. If you keep falling off the same fitness wagon, you need to think about whether that wagon is working for you or not. Maybe it's time to get on a different one. You need to be flexible in how you get there. Plan A may not be right for you, so you need to be open to Plan B or Plan C. This is why I don't believe in wagons. I believe in paths and finding the right path that works for you." 

Joel raises a great point. If you are continually falling off the fitness wagon, you need to evaluate what you are doing and why. 

Tune in to the full episode to learn: 

• The purpose behind quick fixes and fad diets 
• The difference between short-term goals verse long-terms goals 
• What a balanced diet looks like 
• How to establish a sturdy nutritional foundation 
• The truth about cheat days 

• Why consistency helps you avoid deprivation  
• When to track macros 
• How to get more defined abs 
• Why you should never go all in all at once 
• How many days you should be working out each week

Are you number one? Are you even on the list?

If you aren't, I can promise you; you're not living your best life. We should all be at the top of our list.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about selfishness. More importantly, I want to talk to you about how being selfish isn't selfish at all. Being selfish is the least selfish thing you can do.

I challenge you to answer the follower questions seriously: If you aren't putting yourself first, how can you give more to others when you have nothing left to give? How can you make others happy when you aren't happy yourself? How can you ever expect to become a better version of yourself if you never save any energy for yourself?

You end up helping everyone else live their life to the fullest and forget about yourself. I mean, come on...you deserve to live your life to the fullest, too! You are a person, and you have necessities, and you want all the things you're so freely giving to others, so start saving some for yourself.

So, be honest with me right now, are you always serving everyone else in your life except for yourself?

I hope that this episode will encourage you to evaluate your level of selfishness and cultivate more of it.

Alright, now raise your hand again if you think doing a thousand crunches a day is going to help you lose that stubborn belly fat?

Most of the obstacles we face, the ones holding us back from becoming the best versions of ourselves, are mental. Which means, it's mandatory for us to obtain mental toughness to successfully overcome them and reach our goals.  

So, where are you on your mental transformation? 

It's simple to keep track of where you are physically–either your jeans fit or they don't, either you can do 5 pull ups or you can't, either you feel energized or you don't. But when it comes to your mental transformation, it's much harder to know where you are at. 

In this episode, I'm going to walk you through seven elements that contribute to your mental toughness. Together, we will take an audit of your level of mental toughness by talking through each element and determining where you are with each. We will determine which ones you are doing really well in, which ones you are lacking, which ones you need to focus more on.  

At the end of this episode, you will know the next steps you need to take to build your mental toughness and reach your goals.   

Guess again.  

You know I love to bring you the hard truths and this is one of them.  

I know you all want to have leaner, toner bodies, but killing yourself with cardio, whether you are running countless miles or spending hours on the elliptical a day isn't going to help you. There is a huge misconception that more cardio is the secret to burning fat, and that couldn't be further from the truth.  

So, what is the truth?  

In this episode of Next Level, my guest explains how you can transform your body composition and create the body you want through diet and weightlifting alone.  

I know for most of you women out there, weightlifting is a scary word. You hear the word weightlifting and automatically think you will get bulky.  

Guest Heidi Powell explains why you don't need to fear weight training and the amazing things it can do to positively change your body composition, without the bulk.  

The biggest takeaway? Women can lift as much as they want and still will never be capable of becoming as muscular as men because they do not produce enough testosterone necessary.  

What you'll learn: 

• Why killing yourself with cardio won't give you the body you want  
• How you can become the artist and sculpt the body you want 
• The difference between being strong and being bulky 
• The relationship between muscle mass and metabolism  

• Why lifting weights doesn't mean you will develop bulky muscles  
• The science behind building bulky muscles and why it is 100% intentional 
• Why you need to forget eating in a caloric deficit if you want to build lean muscle mass

App: Transform 

Are you going to be chasing a future that is better than your present? Or, are you going to continue living your life defined by the emotions and experiences of your past? If you are locked into who you were yesterday, you'll never be able to become a better version of yourself tomorrow.  

If you want to transform your life, you need to embrace change, and not only embrace it, but strive for it. If you are going to bed at the same time, hanging around the same people, intaking the same information, eating the same foods, doing everything exactly the same in your life, how do you expect to  ever jumpstart change in your life? You need to step out of your comfort zone and experience something new. 

In this episode, I challenge you to adopt change in your life. Your ability to adopt change determines whether or not you survive or thrive in your life. No one wants to just survive, so let's do what it takes to thrive.    

My only question is, are you ready?
