Why Going Hardcore Makes You Quit And What To Do Instead

If you've ever felt like you have to go all in or not at all when it comes to your fitness, this one’s for you. As a retired IFBB pro and former hardcore dieter, I know how tempting extreme plans can be (especially after the holidays). But are they actually realistic? In this episode, we’re unpacking that “all or nothing” mindset, why it keeps you stuck, and how to find your own 2.0 version of progress. Expect tough love, personal stories, and practical tips you can use right now to feel healthier, stronger, and more consistent without burning out!
