Episode Description:

In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m diving deep into the three AFs—Resilient AF, Confident AF, and Consistent AF. These are the foundation of the Always & Forever message and they form the core of what I believe will help you build a lasting, meaningful relationship with health, fitness, and yourself.

We start with resilience. You already have it. You’ve proven it time and time again just by continuing to show up, even when things felt impossible. Then we move to confidence, which is something you choose, not something you earn. It’s not about faking it. It’s about deciding to see yourself for who you truly are and embracing every part of that. And finally, we get into consistency, which isn’t just about rigid routines or forcing yourself to do something. It’s about starting with your preferences and building a routine around what you actually enjoy. From there, you can layer in anything you want.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to prove yourself to the world. You just need to reconnect with who you are and live from the inside/out. You’re already resilient. You can choose confidence. And you can absolutely build consistency around the things you like.

In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m walking you through how I’ve built a sustainable eating plan around my preferences over the past five years. This wasn’t about overhauling everything overnight. It started with observation, understanding my emotional ties to food, and making one small change at a time.

I share the moments that led to habits like eating out more often, emotional eating, and the trial and error that helped me slowly shift back toward home-cooked meals, daily smoothies, balanced snacks, and smart substitutions. Whether it’s figuring out which snacks I can keep in the house, finding a replacement for sugary coffee shop runs, or making restaurant meals work for me instead of against me, this process has been layered and personal.

This episode isn’t about giving you my exact meal plan. It’s about showing you how long-term success in nutrition comes from building a foundation that works with your life—not against it. So if you’re ready to stop following someone else’s “perfect plan” and start crafting your own, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, we’re taking on a very common statement in the fitness space. “The gym is my therapy.” While working out is an incredible tool for mental and emotional health, it’s not a replacement for actual therapy. These are two different tools, and both are important.

I share how I personally use the gym as a space to release energy, gather thoughts, and reconnect with myself. For many people, fitness plays a vital role in managing stress and emotions. But I also emphasize that therapy, when accessible, offers something entirely different. A productive working relationship with a trained therapist can help uncover and process the deeper stuff that many of us carry with us through life.

I dive into the barriers around therapy, from accessibility to affordability, and explain how your routines, habits, and mindfulness practices can help support your mental health while you work toward finding that additional support. This is about building a toolbox that includes both movement and conversation. Both are powerful. But they serve different purposes.

If you’ve ever said the gym is your therapy, or if you’ve wondered how to better support your emotional health through fitness and beyond, this is the episode for you.
