It has been almost a month since the last episode and I am finally back. Life got busy, I lost some focus, and honestly I started doubting myself. I had one of those moments where I wondered what the point of all this was. Then I remembered why I started. This journey is about showing up for myself and proving that I can build something real.

In this episode I talk about what has been happening behind the scenes. My latest weight and fitness progress, switching to a new gym, adding MOTS C into my routine, and how it has helped with energy and blood sugar. I also share a big career update that will take me out of Ontario for the first time and even on my first flight.

It is real, unfiltered, and another reminder that even when life gets loud, the goal is to keep showing up. Progress is not about being perfect, it is about continuing to push forward.

Listen, reflect, and keep pushing flames.

It’s been a couple of weeks, and I know where have I been? In this episode, I catch you up on life lately: a big work trip that left me exhausted, a much-needed break from the gym, and a surprising reminder that sometimes rest is progress.

I talk about what that week off taught me, how I still managed to hit my lowest weight yet, and why slowing down helped me see things differently.

Then we dive deep into something new I’ve been exploring peptides and Retatrutide how it’s changed my relationship with food, what I’ve learned about GLP-1s, and why it’s not a magic fix, just another tool in the journey toward better health.

This one’s all about resetting, reflecting, and finding your flame again after burnout. Because sometimes the hardest thing to do… is nothing at all.

This week I open up about missing last week’s episode and why exhaustion mentally, physically, and creatively has been hitting hard.

I share the highs and lows of the past seven days: hitting a new low weigh-in at 223.5, getting crushed by iPhone launch madness at work, slipping on my diet, and fighting through one of the toughest gym sessions yet.

I also talk about craving change, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and why focusing on what we can control diet, attitude, discipline, and consistency is the key to progress. Even on the hard weeks, showing up matters.
