Hey there. I used to think that fitness was all about chasing a smaller number on the scale. It wasn’t until I started paying attention to how I talked to myself and who I surrounded myself with that I realized something critical: the relationship you have with yourself is the foundation of everything.

When you're navigating the fitness space, it’s easy to focus on physical changes, but let me ask you something: how do you view your "before self"? I’ve seen so many people ridicule their heavier or less fit selves, thinking that’s the only way to stay motivated. The truth? That mindset is exhausting, unsustainable, and harmful.

The fitness journey is about evolving—inside and out. You’re the same person at every phase of your life, and how you talk to yourself, whether you’re at your highest or lowest weight, truly matters. And the people you allow into your life? They matter too. Whether it’s a friend, a fitness professional, or an influencer, if they tear down their own past selves, what kind of message are they sending?

I get it—this grind can feel familiar, even comfortable. You’ve probably spent years or even decades criticizing yourself when your weight fluctuates. But if you’re tired of that cycle, I want you to know there’s another way.

That’s why I created YLF30, a 31-day email series designed to help you build a foundation for a preference-based, inside-out fitness journey. The foundation you build today will set you up for a sustainable, active lifestyle that isn’t rooted in self-criticism but in growth, self-respect, and consistency.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to take the next step and join The YLF Experience. It’s your opportunity to break free from the weight loss grind and connect with yourself in a meaningful way. Sign up here.
