Drew Manning, is a NYT best-selling author of “Fit to Fat to Fit”.

Drew is on a mission to bring empathy into the fitness industry.

He shares about the things he learned by deciding to get fat on purpose and then worked his way back to getting fit afterwards in the pursuit of understanding how his clients thought about food and the stress of carrying extra pounds.

In this podcast, we also covered:

07:17 Common ground 10:07 Healthy masculinity 12:41 Daring greatly 17:11 Stress and how it affects the people around you 24:15 Reflecting on oneself 33:50 Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton

Drew also imparted how we should not take whatever people do to us too personally since their actions and attitude do not, at most times, reflect how we treated them but rather how they feel about themselves within.

That maybe the lashed out anger that they released upon us were misunderstood pain and shortcomings on their part.

Getting vulnerable with yourself could help you learn so much about where to improve, how to react to all circumstances, how to decide for yourself, and how to empathize with your loved ones.
