August rolls around and suddenly everyone's spiraling: "What did I even do this summer?" Sound familiar? That crushing feeling of lost time isn't just about your fitness goals—it's the story you're telling yourself that's keeping you stuck in cycles of regret instead of moving toward what you actually want.
In this episode we dive into:
• Why the "wasted time" narrative is sabotaging your next decision
• How to reframe your past as evolution instead of regret
• The three questions that pull you forward instead of keeping you stuck
• Why taking imperfect action beats waiting for the perfect moment
The Reality Check: You're Stuck in Story Mode
• August hits and you're questioning every choice you made this summer
• That voice saying "I should have started my health journey months ago"
• The paralysis that comes from fearing you'll make another "wrong" decision
• How perfectionism disguised as planning keeps you from actually starting
The Shift: From Wasted Time to Strategic Evolution
• Gary Vaynerchuk's game-changing perspective on "wrong" decisions
• Why every good story needs tension and character growth (including yours)
• How beating yourself up actually wastes more time than the original decision
• The difference between judgment and information gathering
Your New Framework: Questions That Create Forward Motion
• What did that past season reveal about what I actually value?
• How did that situation help me clarify my non-negotiables?
• What part of me am I still trying to prove something to?
• Why reflection without self-judgment builds the trust you've been seeking
This conversation reminds us that your story isn't defined by the chapters you wish you could rewrite—it's shaped by how courageously you write the next one. Whether you're stuck in fitness regret cycles or questioning major life transitions, this episode offers the practical mindset shifts to stop judging your past and start leveraging it.
