It has been almost a month since the last episode and I am finally back. Life got busy, I lost some focus, and honestly I started doubting myself. I had one of those moments where I wondered what the point of all this was. Then I remembered why I started. This journey is about showing up for myself and proving that I can build something real.
In this episode I talk about what has been happening behind the scenes. My latest weight and fitness progress, switching to a new gym, adding MOTS C into my routine, and how it has helped with energy and blood sugar. I also share a big career update that will take me out of Ontario for the first time and even on my first flight.
It is real, unfiltered, and another reminder that even when life gets loud, the goal is to keep showing up. Progress is not about being perfect, it is about continuing to push forward.
Listen, reflect, and keep pushing flames.
