No Such Thing with Krysta Huber The FYX 196: Who's Running Your Life? Your Intuition vs. Someone Else's Blueprint with Adam Badger
When was the last time you trusted your own instincts instead of following someone else's playbook? In this no-holds-barred reunion episode, Adam Badger returns to challenge us on outsourcing our authority to the "experts" around us – whether in fitness, business, or relationships. One year after our first conversation, we dive right back into the tension between living authentically and the sea of bullshit we're drowning in online.
In this episode we dive into:
- How outsourcing your thinking creates a "victim mindset" where you can't solve your own problems
- Why even expert coaches get caught in cycles of overthinking and second-guessing themselves
- The delicate balance between masculine and feminine energies in relationships and business
- Why the quick-fix, 90-day transformation is a dangerous myth robbing you of your power
The Permission Slip You Need to Hear
- The relentless consumption of other people's content is silently programming your thought patterns
- Attention has become currency, allowing whoever has the most eyes to control the narrative
- Your thought patterns have become so influenced by outside sources, they're not even yours anymore
- Most of us are living on autopilot, consuming information but never truly being present in our lives
The Transformation Beyond Consumption
- Every content creator is attempting to hit your "pain points" rather than helping you trust yourself
- Instead of asking "what should I be doing," start asking "what do I actually want?"
- Calculated sacrifices are necessary, but know what you're actually willing to give up
- Developing the ability to catch thought spirals before they become "forest fires" is the real work
The Reality Nobody's Sharing
- Success requires sitting in discomfort when you're simultaneously grateful for freedom but anxious about business
- True presence means you can be anxious about client calls while having breakfast with your family
- Finding the right relationship dynamic means both partners doing the uncomfortable inner work together
- Even the healthiest relationships require consistent communication and vulnerability, not perfection
This conversation reminds us that true authority comes from within, not from the latest trending voice online. Whether you're struggling with your next fitness decision or questioning a relationship dynamic, this episode offers the practical insights and emotional permission to trust your own voice again – even when it contradicts the loudest voices in the room.
