The Real Cost of Not Asking for Help

Ever wasted months on something four minutes could’ve solved?

I share a story that had me laughing at myself and realizing just how often we waste time trying to fix the wrong thing. What started as a dumb Zoom glitch turned into a much bigger lesson about blindspots, stubbornness, and the real cost of doing it alone. Just like in our health and fitness journey, we can be doing all the right things and still miss the one piece that changes everything. Sometimes it’s not about working harder, it’s about getting the right perspective.

If you're feeling stuck despite your effort, this episode is exactly what you need.
