Podcast Episode Summary: My Training Journey & Lessons Learned

I was recently asked to share more about my training journey and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. So that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Nothing about my health journey was neat, organized, or a straight line. I started as someone working a corporate job, just trying to get in great shape—but without proper guidance, role models, or a real understanding of nutrition. My relationship with food wasn’t great, and honestly, I used to eat terribly. I knew if I wanted to figure this out, I’d have to do it on my own.

The one thing I did right? I stayed committed. I kept learning. I became a student of training and fitness. That’s the message I want to share today: You don’t have to be perfect. Starting something new is hard, especially when you’re not good at it yet. I’ve been there. I was there for years—but I didn’t stop.

In this episode, I’m sharing the mistakes I made, the lessons I learned, and how my mindset has evolved. I experimented with all kinds of training programs, nutrition strategies, and even different approaches to life. Through trial and error, I gained a deeper understanding of how everything connects—training, mindset, self-discovery, and growth.

Over time, I developed a system that truly works for me, one that considers not just physical training but mental health, resilience, and sustainable progress. My goal for this episode is to give you permission to mess up, make mistakes, and embrace being a beginner. Just get started, pay attention, and keep making small course corrections as you go.

Let’s dive in.
