In this episode, we sit down with the one and only Cori Lefkowith to talk about why perfection, comparison, and “trying harder” keep people trapped in cycles of burnout. We have some great news for you! Your body is resilient, and we'll show you how to leverage that strength. Forget waiting for motivation, it's something you actively build, and we’ll tell you how. Similarly, aging doesn't cause weakness; stopping movement does. Need some more inspo? Here you go! 🙌 Movement is medicine. Use it or lose it. How you age is up to you. You don’t become old at a specific age. Why would you expect a different outcome repeating the same things? If you believe you are old, you are going to be old. Choose to control what you can and meet yourself where you are. You CAN find the disconnect between what you say and what you do. Meet yourself where you are then move forward. Forget what you thought the plan was. YOU ARE the plan! This episode will make you feel good. Period. Plus, listen for details on how to enter to win Cori’s book and a CVG gift card!
