Episode notes

We think fitness is about the body. But in truth, it begins in the story we tell ourselves.

In this conversation with Jake Parker, we explore fitness not as a battle of discipline, but as a shifting of identity.

Humans evolved in a world of scarcity where every calorie mattered. Now, in a world of abundance, that same wiring works against us. The magic, Jake suggests, is in designing new defaults. Defaults where exercise becomes an act of self-kindness, food choices become votes for the person you want to be, and consistency becomes less a grind and more a groove.

Fitness then stops being a task and starts becoming a story of who you are becoming.
