Ever wonder why some people crush their fitness goals while others struggle to stay on track? What if the biggest challenge isn’t just about workouts and meal plans but also about the people around us, our mindset, and how we see ourselves?

 

In this conversation with Melissa Vogel, we discuss the deeper aspects of fitness beyond workouts and meal plans. Melissa shares how leading by example—especially as parents—plays a crucial role in shaping the habits of those around us. She highlights the importance of being mindful of our environment and the people we surround ourselves with and how their support (or lack of it) can impact our journey.

 

We also dive into the topic of sabotage—both from others and from ourselves. Whether it’s a partner unintentionally offering temptations or internal struggles that make us slip back into old habits, Melissa explains how identity plays a huge role in making lasting change.

 

Lastly, we touch on relationships and communication. Fitness isn’t just about physical health; it’s also about mindset and support systems. Having honest conversations, setting boundaries, and creating a space where both partners feel valued can make all the difference in maintaining long-term success.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

  • Self-sabotage happens when identity doesn’t align with new habits. 

 

  • Hard conversations are necessary for growth in both fitness and relationships.

 

  • Words have power, so use them wisely.
