Have you ever looked at your training, your hobbies, or even your daily routine and thought, "I just don't feel like me lately?"

You're not alone.

In this episode of Muscles and Malarkey, I get real about feeling stuck, losing motivation, and what happens when the things you usually love stop feeling exciting. Whether it's the gym, work, or life in general, everyone goes through seasons where they feel disconnected from themselves.

Instead of chasing motivation or forcing productivity, this episode is all about getting curious. I share practical ways to reconnect with yourself, rediscover what brings you joy, and let go of the pressure to always be "on."

We'll talk about:

• Why being in a funk doesn't mean you've failed.
• How to tell the difference between burnout and boredom.
• Simple ways to make training (and life) feel fun again.
• Why trying something new can reignite your spark.
• Giving yourself permission to change, evolve, and enjoy the process.

If you've been feeling unmotivated, burnt out, or like you're just going through the motions, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to stay there. Sometimes the way forward isn't pushing harder—it's finding your way back to what makes you smile.

Tune in, and let's find the fun again.

Welcome back to another episode of muscles and malarkey!

In this episode, I go over 3 different AITA posts from gym reddit. Have you ever asked yourself, "Am I the Ahole?" then this episode is for you!

I discuss whether OP is, in fact, the A hole, or if maybe a different approach was needed. I also give a few actionable take aways/ advice if you happen to find yourself in a similar situation.

Welcome back to another episode of Muscles and Malarkey!

In this episode, I catch you up on what I've been up to for the past couple weeks. I wanted to break down my meet day at Sunday Service's Crowned in Iron, helping Megsy handle Ashley, and of course, handling my girl April at Goddesses of Steel.

Did April hit her goal of 1000# total? Did I finally break the elusive 400# deadlift barrier? Tune in to find out!
