This weeks theme of the week: "Remember, joy is not based on your circumstances."

This soapbox goes over the harsh reality that joy is an inside job. It's not about the pounds you shed, muscles you gain, how ripped you may look or how fast you can run; it's about how you feel about yourself.

For too long we have put too much of an emphasis on the external validation while our internal validation goes completely unnoticed in the fitness industry.

Our theme of the week for January 8th 2024 is:

"We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to build value, but we get paid for the value, not the time. Therefore we disregard the time it takes to build value” - Jim Rohn

Listen as we touch on the subject of reaching your new year goals in a timely manner to create more value in yourself. But, sometimes the time we take to reach our goals is not considered of value and how that can be detrimental to helping you make lasting changes.

*WARNING

Oh, hey there tough cookies.  While this latest episode of the Train with Tough Cookie Podcast is absolutely amazing, a small warning for some, we touch on a few subjects that might be sensitive to some who are in an eating disorder recovery.  In no way, shape or form do me and my guest know everything there is to know about recovery, we touch on how we have started to learn about our journey and divorce from diet culture.

SO if you are looking to listen to two women who want to share their experience, strength and hope with ya’ll stay tuned!
