🎙️ Episode 007: When the Numbers Mess with Your Head
This week, I’m opening up about something that really shook me—my recent DEXA scan results. I walked in feeling strong and confident… and walked out feeling triggered and discouraged when I saw that my body fat percentage was higher than I expected.
Yep—even as a coach, I’m still human.
In this raw episode, I take you behind the scenes of that experience—how it impacted my mindset, what it brought up from my past, and how I worked through it.
If you’ve ever let a number define your progress, your value, or your body image… you’re not alone.
Here’s what we talk about:
* Why data can be helpful—but also harmful if you don’t zoom out
* How even coaches struggle with body image and old thought patterns
* Why your habits, strength, and mindset matter way more than the number on a scan or a scale
* What to do when numbers trigger you and how to reframe your progress
* The mental spiral I had—and how I stopped it in its tracks
* How to detach your identity and worth from any one measurement
* The balance between accepting your body and still wanting to change it
* What true progress really looks like (hint: it’s not just physical)
This is a vulnerable one—but it’s also full of reminders to ground yourself in the bigger picture of what true health looks like.
If you’ve ever had a moment where the data didn’t match the way you felt—and suddenly you questioned everything—this episode is for you.
Let this be your reminder: You can pursue goals and still love your body. You can hold compassion and still want growth.
