  • From Cleared to Confident: The Mental Side of Rehab
    Jan 7 2026

    You’ve been cleared by your doctor, but you’re still terrified to touch a barbell. Most people stop their recovery as soon as the pain goes away, but that’s exactly where the real work begins. In this episode, we explore the "Mental Side of Rehab"—the psychological barriers that keep you from returning to the activities you love.

    Justin and Weezy break down the Fear-Avoidance Cycle and why "physical clearance" is only half the battle of coming back from injury.

    We dive into the "meat" of rehab: how to use Graded Exposure, visualization, and other tools to truly rebuild your confidence , and why your Physical Therapist should be comfortable saying "I don’t know". Weezy talks about the acquired skill of medical self-advocacy, plus a breakdown of why coaches are statistically the worst clients.


    Inside the Episode:

    • The Barbell Collision: What a 10/10 pain event taught Justin about trust and PT.


    • Self-Advocacy: Moving beyond "just take the pill" to find real answers.


    • The Mental Gray Zone: Bridging the gap between medical clearance and performance.


    • Identity Shifts: Reconciling the "Mom" identity with the "Athlete" identity.

  • F*** Your Resolutions
    Dec 31 2025

    It’s New Year’s Eve, which means 93% of you are about to set a resolution you’ll quit by mid-January.


    This week, Justin and Weezy are unf*cking your New Year. We’re moving past vague "lose weight" goals and diving into the science of behavior change, habit tethering, and why your resolution probably fails because you’re focusing on outcomes instead of actions.

    Weezy guides you through a INCREDIBLY USEFUL "Story Work" masterclass to help you rewrite the narrative of who you actually are (shoutout to "Potent Weez").


    In this episode:

    • The 4,000-year-old history of resolutions (thanks, Babylonians).


    • Why "Quitters Day" is coming for you sooner than you think.


    • Story Work: How to actually rewrite your identity word by word.


    • Why gas station "Royal Honey" is just a lawsuit waiting to happen


    • The Black Powder Story (hang on tight)
