This is not an either or situation. It is an and. Therapy, exercise, medication, and every tool you use to support your mental and emotional health all work together, not in competition. I talk about what a productive relationship with a therapist actually looks like, why it is so hard to find, and why therapy is still the foundation of an inside/out process when it is accessible for you.I also break down a recent social media post that claimed exercise is more effective than therapy or medication. There is truth in the benefits of movement. There is also danger in oversimplifying mental health to a single solution. Exercise is a powerful tool, but it is not therapy. It can support your mental health, but it cannot replace the work that happens in a connected therapeutic relationship.As someone who has been in therapy for years, I share what the process has done for me and why I believe everyone deserves access to a therapist who can help them see their blind spots, develop skills, and work through their internal patterns. I also talk about how much the fitness space reinforces the belief that changing your body will fix how you feel, and how that leads many people into body dysmorphia and cycles of frustration.My hope with this episode is simple. If even one person hears this and begins to be easier on themselves, recognizes their own resilience, or takes a step toward connecting with who they are beneath the surface, then the conversation served its purpose. You deserve tools. You deserve support. You deserve to feel at home in your own head. And you can build that one honest step at a time.Please share your thoughts with me at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com.

We live in a time where sixty second summaries get more attention than real stories but real growth does not come from bite sized checklists. It comes from sharing what you have lived through and taking the time to understand what those experiences taught you.I also share why I want more people to tell their own stories in their own voice whether that is through a blog a podcast or their own corner of the internet. Your lived experience has depth and context that no algorithm friendly format will ever capture. If you have been thinking about creating your own platform this is your reminder to start.This episode is more of an audio journal than a polished outline. I am sorting thoughts in real time and inviting you to do the same. If something in this message hits you or brings up your own perspective I would love to hear it.

I talk about why starting slow matters, how mixing strength, cardio, endurance, flexibility, and mobility gives you better long term results, and why even five minutes can be a meaningful starting point. This is about building momentum, staying consistent, and moving with a calm headspace so you can increase your capacity without burning out or beating yourself up.I also share how minimum daily action goals can keep you grounded on days when motivation dips, why pacing yourself prevents injury, and how gradual progress leads to sustainable growth. Whether you are brand new to exercise or looking to refine what you are already doing, this episode will help you build a manageable routine that supports your life today while preparing you for the life you want later.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

I share how chasing change from a place of self hate only leads to burnout and frustration, and how learning to live from the inside/out can completely shift your mindset and progress. I also open up about my own experiences with cerebral palsy, insecurity, and the pressure to constantly change my body, and why the real transformation happens when you decide who you are and reinforce that choice each day.You will hear how consistency has built momentum in my writing, workouts, and podcasting, and how simplifying my content structure has allowed more clarity and impact. I also talk about the YLF Experience and why I have designed it to give you real access, guidance, and structure without relying on automation. At the end of the day, my goal is to help you build a peaceful, confident, productive life by connecting with yourself and taking action instead of just consuming more content.

We talk about what sits below the surface of your habits, why your internal driver matters more than anything you chase externally, and how that same depth can reshape how you create and consume content. I also break down why so much of social media feels the same right now, why trends burn out fast, and how choosing to zag when everyone else zigs can actually help you cut through with the right people.We get into storytelling, authenticity, influence, and the difference between chasing numbers and creating real impact. I share how I approach my content, why the stripped down style works for me, and how the right fifteen viewers can be more valuable than fifteen thousand. We also talk about the realities of influencer culture, brand deals, commissions, micro trends, and why knowing your actual why keeps you grounded no matter what the metrics say.If you want to build something real online, create from your actual lived experience, or just feel a little more connected to yourself instead of endlessly scrolling, this episode is for you.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

You have probably heard the idea that you should find your why but most of those answers are based on other people and expectations that live outside of you. The real why is the one that drives your actions day after day and it starts with seeing yourself clearly exactly as you are right now without judgment or criticism.This process takes time because there is so much you have to cut through. Your sense of self shapes every choice you make in fitness weight loss and every other area of life. Once you can see who you are right now you can start exploring how you want to see yourself which creates a bridge you can actually walk across. As you evolve the picture will change and that is exactly how it should be.When your actions are built around what you genuinely like and what you are willing and able to do you no longer have to force consistency. You enjoy what you are doing so you naturally show up. That is why fitness and eating strategies based on your preferences are always more sustainable than anything that requires willpower alone. The results become the byproduct not the primary target.I also talk about therapy and how valuable it can be when you are doing this deeper connection work. Not every therapist will be the right fit and that is normal. A productive working relationship can support you as you reinforce how you want to see yourself every day but this work still starts with you.As always I want to hear your thoughts.

I openly share what I want you to take from my approach to self-trust, confidence, and building your own inside/out life. I also ask you to email me and let me know what you are actually receiving from the things I say, how you interpret them, and how they show up in your day to day.We explore what genuine confidence really looks like and why it has nothing to do with stereotypes or appearances. I talk about why planning matters but why taking the first step matters even more. I share why I want you to build an active lifestyle that feels like yours, not something that was forced on you or sold to you as perfect. And I remind you that guilt free choices in fitness and life are a real thing, and that they come from trusting yourself.This episode is a check in for both of us. It helps you reconnect with the deeper message behind the content you consume and helps me understand what is resonating with you.

True accountability starts with being able to look yourself in the eye and take ownership of your choices. You can have support, you can have connections, and you should, but your foundation has to come from you. When you build that connection, you are better equipped to decide who gets access to you and to what level.I also dive into why most people should not have front row seats to your life. You are not responsible for their opinions and they are not entitled to your inner world. At the same time, isolating yourself is not the answer either. We are meant to have meaningful relationships, but they need to be the right ones. Being accountable to yourself helps you identify those people and build the kind of life that feels grounded, empowering, and aligned with who you are.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Knowing who we are. Really knowing. I walk you through a simple identity journal prompt that helps you reconnect with yourself and start peeling back the layers of what you think you should be so you can see who you actually are. Your past can inform you but it does not define you, and your worth is not tied to what you have already accomplished.This is a reminder to come back to center as often as possible. To drop the labels that do not serve you. To slow down long enough to recognize that your life is in front of you right now. The opportunity to connect with yourself is available today, and that connection can shape every other part of your life moving forward.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

I walk you through the idea of having two standards, your minimums and your achievement goals, and how the minimum standards form the foundation for confidence, momentum, and long term follow through. Your minimums are not about lowering the bar or barely getting by. They are about starting where you are, building a habit of taking action, and stacking small wins that lead to bigger goals.I also talk about why building your baseline around your preferences is so important. It makes taking action enjoyable which means it becomes repeatable. Once you build that foundation, you can start pushing the achievement side of things with genuine confidence and curiosity. Those two skills will take you anywhere you want to go.We also get into the idea that consistency is a skill you train just like anything else. You decide who you want to be, you take the smallest step forward, you repeat it, and you build from there. Over time your identity, your goals, and even your future direction may shift. That is not failure. That is curiosity doing its job.If you feel stuck or overwhelmed, this is a powerful place to start. Your foundation matters. Your minimums matter. And once you build those, you can figure out anything.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Who actually benefits the most when you choose macro tracking as your preferred eating strategy. Spoiler alert, it is not you. It is the food industry.I share my thoughts as someone who has spent years working in both fitness and marketing, crafting messaging strategies and seeing how companies target your insecurities and your desire to feel in control. I am not saying macros are bad and I am not saying you should not use them. What I am doing is giving you another way to look at what you are doing and why you are doing it, especially if you feel dependent on tracking to feel in control of your eating.We talk about packaged food marketing, how labels are built to pull you in, why so many people cling to tracking as their safety blanket, and how the lack of an exit strategy keeps you coming back. I also explain why I prefer photo journaling for most everyday people who want long term results without obsessing over numbers.This episode is not about absolutes. It is about awareness. It is about understanding how the industry benefits from your habits and how you can start to make choices that align with your long term goals, your preferences, and your inside/out lifestyle.As always I want to hear your thoughts.

Who or what offends you? Not because I want you to tell me, but because I want you to see what those moments reveal about you. When something or someone lights you up, there is almost always a deeper reason. Maybe it bumps into an old insecurity, a former version of you, or a part of your life that you have not fully let go of yet.Offense is information. If you get offended by the same things over and over again, especially with different people, it might show you where your unspoken expectations are. We all have expectations. We try to hide them, but they still drive our feelings and reactions. When you understand your expectations, you can turn them into communication instead of resentment. You can request what you need and the other person has every right to respond with yes or no.It is also possible that offense shows you where your opinions have become part of your identity. If someone challenges that opinion, it can feel like they are challenging you. That is a heavy way to live. Everybody has different experiences, and different opinions. So if some of this sounds like you, that is okay. This is information. This is how you learn, grow, and move forward in life. You can take a step back, assess, and decide how you want to respond. You can protect yourself with a boundary if needed, and you can do all of this without trying to control anyone else.Thank you for listening and watching. I appreciate you being here.

What brings you peace? Not temporary escape. Not the approval of others. Real internal calm. We continue the conversation around worth and validation, and we look at how peace shows up when you begin trusting yourself to navigate life from a calmer headspace.I talk about why so many of us feel more familiar with chaos than with peace, and how uncomfortable it can be to experience calm when it finally arrives. You might even feel guilty for wanting peace because it seems foreign. But this is part of the work. The inside/out process involves sitting with your thoughts, allowing uncomfortable feelings to exist, and untangling long held patterns that keep you in survival mode.I also share thoughts on therapy and why developing a productive working relationship with a therapist can be life changing. It is not just signing up for therapy, it is learning to open up, recognize blind spots, and work together on navigating thoughts, habits and emotions. The goal is not to remove all challenges. The goal is to trust yourself more while facing them.Some things in life will never make sense. Some circumstances will not have a satisfying explanation. Peace is not having answers to everything. Peace is knowing you can handle life even when things are unresolved. It is feeling like you belong in your own body and in your own mind. That takes consistent practice, grace and a willingness to continue the conversation with yourself.If this message connects with you, I would love to hear your thoughts. Email me anytime at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com.Thank you for listening. I appreciate you. Keep practicing calm. Keep doing the work.

Today we get into how this plays out in our daily lives when we start chasing external worth. We look at how early praise, fitting in, and approval from others quietly shape how we see ourselves. I share how this shows up in fitness when the process becomes another performance instead of a way to support your forever active lifestyle from the inside/out.I talk about how chasing productivity and moving nonstop can keep us from sitting with our thoughts and dealing with uncomfortable feelings. For many of us, staying busy is a way to outrun our inner dialogue. I share personal examples of how this has played out in my life and how seasons have slipped by because I was focused on what I could produce for others instead of learning how to sit with myself.You will hear why the mechanics of weight loss are not the issue for most people and why the real challenge is untangling how much value we place on being useful, productive, or impressive. I want fitness and every other part of your life to be something you do because it supports who you are, not something you use to prove your worth.By the end of this episode, you will have a clear reminder that your value should not rely on what you create or how well you perform. Worth is reinforced daily just like any skill. And the work of building it continues even when you have been on this path for years.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Why don't you think you're enough? I walk you through how this belief forms over decades, not from a single defining moment. You'll hear how the small experiences you collect over your life quietly build a story that convinces you that you don't belong or that you will never measure up.We get into how comparison takes root when you don't really know who you are. Not who you think you should be. Not who someone else appears to be. Who you actually are. If you don't have that clarity, anyone who looks confident becomes the standard. I explain how this shows up in fitness, in your goals, in your habits, and honestly, all throughout your life.You'll hear how high achievers often raise the bar every time they get close. I share personal examples from fitness, from YLF, and from the years where I tried to outrun discomfort by producing more and more. We talk about emptiness. We talk about sitting with yourself. We talk about why the hustle never ends until you choose to end it.I also cover the difference between improving yourself because you want to grow versus improving yourself because you feel empty. I share how productivity, content output, and chasing skills used to define my worth until I had to learn to exist without tying my value to what I produced.Then we get into trust. Trusting yourself is one of the hardest things you will ever do, especially if you have spent most of your life seeking permission, validation, or approval. You will not feel like you're enough until you learn to follow your own thoughts and take action on them.By the end of this episode, you'll understand that feeling enough is not a feeling that magically appears. It is something you practice and reinforce daily. You are enough right now. You can improve any area of your life that you want. But your worth has never been tied to achievement, output, or comparison.If you needed this episode, I'm glad you're here.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Most of us underestimate how much progress we've already made because we are our own harshest critic. We see every struggle, every pause, every setback, while assuming that everyone else is effortlessly moving forward.I break down the blind spots that show up when you forget that you are living a completely different life with different responsibilities, experiences, and challenges. You may not notice your own consistency. You may not see the skills you've developed. You may not acknowledge the resilience you show every time you get up and keep going after difficult seasons. But those things matter. They shape who you are becoming.We also talk about the habit of setting expectations that are so far beyond your current reality that you end up using perfection as a distraction. You tell yourself you need bigger goals or tighter standards, when the truth is you need simpler actions, clearer structure, and more compassion for yourself. Mastering the basics is what builds confidence. Confidence is what builds momentum. Momentum is what helps you trust yourself.And that trust is everything. When you trust yourself you stop giving up when things get messy. You stop assuming struggle means failure. You stop waiting for perfect conditions before you take action. You start seeing obstacles as part of the path, not proof that you should quit.Your pace, your path, and your progress are yours. There will be side quests, pauses, detours, bursts of energy, and slower seasons. All of it counts. All of it is part of running your own race with intention, awareness, and a calm headspace.Thank you for listening.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

I share how easy it is to rationalize our way out of taking action, convince ourselves that the timing isn't right, or believe our work isn't good enough to put out. I also talk about how quickly that mindset becomes a pattern that steals time we can never get back.I walk you through the early days of my blogging and podcasting journey, where I had the ideas, the plans, the drafts, and the structure, but still couldn't get myself to hit publish. It took me months to get a second podcast episode out because I was in my head about everything. What finally changed things was choosing to take action even before I felt ready, and deciding I was going to publish something no matter what. Once I did that, the fear loosened and curiosity took over.When you start believing you are capable and let your actions reinforce that belief, everything changes. You stop looking for permission. You stop trying to predict every outcome. You get curious about what might happen if you try something new. That curiosity is what led to this podcast. It's what led to the growth of the YLF blog. It's what led to building the entire YLF ecosystem that now supports your inside/out process.I also share how time has proven the value of simply showing up. In a year of almost daily blogging, the website grew from one hundred visits a month to six hundred. The path wasn't linear, and it never is. The ups and downs are part of the story. But progress only happens when you stop waiting and start creating.Time is moving fast. If you are in your thirties or forties, you feel that every single day. I do not want you to look back and regret the seasons of your life where you talked yourself out of taking action. You deserve better than that. You deserve to trust yourself, follow through, and take steps toward the life you want.Thank you for listening.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each major podcast directory.

Most people only know parts of who you are, and many times they like the idea of you more than the full version of you. That's not a bad thing. It's just part of life, especially when you're building self-awareness and living from the inside/out.We all want to be understood, but the truth is that not everyone deserves full access to us. Knowing your worth isn't just about saying it, it's about enforcing it. Part of that enforcement means being selective about who gets your time and energy. Not everyone needs to know your story or understand your decisions. Let people think what they're going to think, because they will anyway. Most of the time, their opinions are reflections of how they see themselves, not you.This applies to every part of life, including fitness. People might judge your choices, your pace, or your goals without knowing your reasons. But you don't owe anyone an explanation for how you live your life or pursue your health. When you stop explaining and start living authentically, you free up a lot of mental energy to focus on your own growth.The smaller the circle of people who truly understand you, the calmer your life becomes. And the more you connect with yourself, the less you feel the need to be understood by others. That's one of the quietest and most powerful shifts you can make.Thank you for listening and for continuing to build this community focused on living from the inside/out.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

You have spent years, maybe decades, carrying the weight of messages that told you that if you just lost enough, fixed enough, or proved enough, you would finally be worthy. I want to help you drop that story.We talk about what happens when you hit the goal, lose the weight, follow the program, use the tools, and still look in the mirror and feel the same. For so many, it is not just about seeing the same body. It is about feeling like the same person and still not liking that person. That is the part that hurts. That is where the real regret can creep in.Instead of living your entire life chasing quick fixes and external approval, I want you to build something you will actually want to do for the rest of your life. You already have what you need inside of you to do that. My role is to put out content that reminds you to appreciate yourself from the inside/out. The podcast, the blog, the emails, the resources are all there to reinforce a different kind of message. One that tells you that you are not behind, you are not in competition with anyone else, and your path is allowed to look different.We dig into how subtle and direct marketing, fitness culture, and comparison keep you feeling less than. We talk about the signs that you might be rationalizing a life that does not fit you. And we talk about how things shift when you are genuinely fulfilled and aligned. When you are connected to who you are, you start to want everyone to win, because you are finally on your path.I do not want you to regret the time and energy you have already spent. I want you to use everything you have learned to build a life, a process, and a relationship with yourself that actually feels like yours.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Trust yourself.If you've ever felt like you're not good enough, like you don't belong, or like you're faking it until you make it, this episode is for you. I talk about imposter syndrome, confidence, and what it really means to live life on your own terms. Confidence doesn't come from achieving enough to finally believe in yourself. It starts the moment you decide to.You can't think your way into self-trust through endless self-help content or action lists. You build genuine confidence by making a choice first, then reinforcing that belief through everything you do. I share how I've lived this firsthand—being five foot seven, bald, and living with a visible disability—and how choosing to believe in myself has shaped everything in my life.When you make that same choice, you stop chasing validation from others. You stop performing for approval. You begin building your life from the inside/out.This isn't about pretending to have it all figured out. It's about trusting that you'll figure it out as you go. Every single thing you do from that decision forward becomes evidence of your belief in yourself.It starts with one choice.

The normal days. The time when it is just you and your people doing nothing big, nothing flashy, just living your actual life. Those are the days you are going to miss.I share how fast time really moves, from realizing how long ago college was, to early career memories, to seeing Your Level Fitness work anniversaries pop up and thinking about everything that has happened in between. It is wild how quickly years pass while we are busy chasing the next achievement or highlight moment.This is your reminder to be present where you are. To notice the small stuff. To appreciate the boring good days before they become the memories you wish you could get back.

One day you may look back and miss this version of your life, or wish you had seen how important it was while you were living it. You might be more naive than you know, or standing right next to the best thing that will ever happen to you, or moving through something hard that is shaping who you are becoming.I want you to pause and consider what is good in your world right now, what you might be taking for granted, and how quickly all of this can change. Time is the one thing we never get back, and I do not want you living with regret about how you spent it, how you treated yourself, or how disconnected you may have felt from your own life.Use this episode as a reminder to be present, to notice the details, to appreciate the people and moments around you, and to start aligning how you live with what actually matters to you.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Therapists, counselors, social workers, and others who work with mental and emotional health will share their perspective on this statement, unpack what people really mean when they say it, and help us explore where movement, support, and actual therapy fit into our lives.I talk about why I believe we need a personal recipe for mental and emotional health, built from different tools that work together instead of relying on just one thing. I share my own experience as someone who has been in therapy consistently, trains regularly, and uses both to process emotions, relieve tension, and stay grounded. You will hear how this project connects to my long standing work in fitness and self-acceptance, including the Mens Mental Health Series, and how all of it comes back to helping you appreciate yourself from the inside/out instead of chasing your worth through your appearance.Gym And Therapy is about nuance, context, and real conversations. My hope is that across these episodes you hear stories, opinions, and insights that help you feel seen, encourage you to seek support that fits you, and remind you that you deserve a life where you are connected with who you are, mentally, emotionally, and physically.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

The one people say is not reasonable, too big, never been done. I want you to go after it. You get one life. I do not want you carrying regret because you talked yourself out of what you really wanted.I share why the point is not only landing exactly where you aimed, but becoming the person who takes the swing. When you move, you either arrive where you intended or you end up somewhere better for you. Settling is a habit. So is choosing yourself. Curiosity beats criticism, and action beats waiting every time.Use this episode as a nudge to back your ambition today. Define the first step. Take it before your brain starts negotiating. Send me your thoughts and your next action. I want to hear what you are going after and how you are moving on it.Try this today.Write down the wild goal in one sentence. List one ten minute action you can do now.

Not the one you think you should want, not the one others expect from you, but the one that actually feels real and fulfilling to you. Most of us spend years trying different things, pushing in directions that do not quite fit, and feeling frustrated when clarity does not come right away. That is part of the process. Those paths that do not align with us help us discover the ones that do.If you are in a season where things feel unclear, I encourage you to step back and really look at where you have been and where you want to go. Ask yourself what you want professionally, personally, and in your day to day life. Not what you think you should want, but what you genuinely want right now. Give yourself permission to explore that honestly.Some people seem lucky, but everyone who ends up where they want to be eventually has to figure it out. You can figure it out too. If it matters to you, you will uncover the steps. You will adjust. You will find your direction. It might not look perfect or polished today, but that does not mean you are not moving in the right direction.Thank you for listening. Feel free to email me with your thoughts and reflections.

Perfection sounds inspiring, but it often traps us in all or nothing thinking. The moment something does not go exactly as planned, many of us mentally bail, take the rest of the day off, or tell ourselves we will start over tomorrow. And sometimes we never restart at all.Instead of trying to be perfect everywhere, I walk you through a simple framework. Pick one area each day and exceed your goal in that area. Just one. When you do this, you build momentum and confidence. You start actively searching for wins, big and small. You begin seeing yourself in a more capable and positive light. And once you excel in one place, you will naturally look for more moments to rise above the baseline in the rest of your day.This is how you build a sustainable, empowering rhythm. Not by trying to be flawless, but by consistently showing yourself you can go above your minimums. Excellence compounds. It rewires how you see progress. It rewires how you see yourself.Give it a try and let me know how it goes. I always love hearing from you.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

What are you avoiding. It might be a conversation, taking ownership, or seeing your real part in a situation. Sometimes we throw everything on our own shoulders because it is easier than sitting with the facts. Life is your responsibility, but you do not have to live in a mental prison where every outcome is your fault. That constant tug of war becomes another distraction.We also talk about chaos and calm. If chaos feels familiar, calm can be scary. A quiet mind brings honest thoughts to the surface. Are you avoiding starting the thing. Getting back to the thing. Telling yourself the truth about why progress stalled. Protecting your ego. You probably know the answer, and if you do not, the distractions may be stacked right on top of it.I want you to win. Whether your goal is success, peace, calmness, or mental clarity, most roadblocks between you and the life you want are the ones you create. If your aims have changed, that is fine. Are you avoiding the first step on the new path. In this episode I give you prompts to peel back the layers, get clear on your next step, and build the calm headspace that supports consistent action.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

We all come from different backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences, yet when you sit down and talk with someone, even for a few minutes, you find common ground. We see this a lot in the fitness space, but it applies everywhere in life.When you genuinely connect with someone, you begin to realize that even those you thought were way ahead of you, more experienced, or living a completely different life, have fears, insecurities, and dreams just like you. You start to see the similarities. You start to recognize their path and how parts of it mirror yours. And a lot of times, you discover that things you take for granted about yourself actually inspire others.Conversations open doors. They shift perspectives. They remind us that we are all figuring this out, each at our own pace, each with our own challenges. And they give us a chance to help others while learning from them too.If you ever want to reach out, whether it's to talk about an episode, to explore an idea, to share what you're up to, or just to catch up, email me.

Most of us spend so much time planning, preparing, and perfecting that we never take action. We tell ourselves we need the right gear, the right setup, or the right format, but really, we're just afraid to start.When you finally decide that you're doing this for you, everything shifts. You pace yourself better, you stop comparing your progress to others, and you realize that your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Whether it's fitness, content creation, or any personal goal, the key is to just begin and figure it out along the way.Fear of judgment and perfectionism hold so many people back. But when you accept that no one else's opinion truly determines your worth, you move faster, stay calmer, and start creating real progress. You don't need approval to live your life. You just need permission from yourself.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

I share how setting a specific target—like aiming to be in a calm headspace eighty five percent of the time—helps you stay grounded without chasing perfection. The goal isn't to control every thought but to recognize when you've drifted and know how to pull yourself back to center.When we get triggered, it's easy to spiral into frustration or self-judgment. But the more connected you are to your emotions, the faster you can pause, breathe, and realign. Sometimes that means allowing yourself to feel what you need to feel—cry, write, shout, reflect—and then move forward when you're ready.This episode is a reminder that being kind to yourself is not the same as letting yourself off the hook. It's about awareness, understanding your patterns, and developing calm, deliberate responses that help you live from the inside/out.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

You are not broken. You do not need to become addicted to discipline. You do not have to become unrecognizable. You do not have to perform your life for the internet to prove you are improving. You need a calm head while you take action, and you need to decide to trust yourself.I talk about how the self help and fitness world is built on keeping you chasing dopamine hits. Watch this video. Follow these five steps. Do this one tactic. Optimize every second. Stay productive. Stay obsessed. And if you still feel like an outsider after all of that, it must be because you are not hardcore enough. That message is everywhere. It is profitable. But it is garbage.Your mindset is not a color coded routine. It is two things. First, when you are taking action in any area of your life, I want you operating from a quiet mind. Health and fitness. Creative work. Career moves. Relationships. Hobbies. Whatever you are building. You take the action, and in that moment you trust that either you know what to do or you are going to figure it out. You trust yourself. You choose to believe in yourself even if you have decades of feeling behind, or feeling like you do not belong. When you truly trust yourself while you are doing the thing, the noise drops. You are not performing for anyone. You are not posting hoping that one specific person sees it and finally validates you. You are just doing your thing.Second, you have to be able to sit with what is in your head when it is not quiet yet. This is the part most people run from. This is why a lot of us binge self improvement content. Because being alone with our thoughts does not feel great at first. You have a lot of fear, shame, comparison, and old stories coming up. I talk about why this part matters, how it gets less intense over time, and why therapy, journaling, breathing, and staying present in your body are not weak fallback plans. They are practical ways to teach yourself that you are safe in your own head.I tell you flat out that believing in yourself is a decision, and it is a decision you are going to have to reinforce daily. Use this podcast for that. Use the archive. Use the other YLF shows. Let this play in the background while you go about your day and remind yourself that you are capable. Because you are. You have gotten yourself this far, through everything you have had to navigate. You are resilient. The current self help and fitness space markets against your insecurities. It convinces you that you are always behind, always not enough, always needing to grind harder. I am not interested in feeding that. My approach with Your Level Fitness is different on purpose. We build results as a byproduct, not as an obsession. We build confidence and trust in yourself instead of guilt around food, shame around your body, or panic around whether you are doing enough.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

I walk you through how I am structuring the rest of this year and heading into twenty twenty six so you can build consistency without burning yourself out.I have decided that I am not publishing new stuff on Saturdays and Sundays. I am modeling what I tell you to do, which is protect your energy, slow down, and stop letting content or fitness take over your entire life. You can still work toward goals. You can still show up. But you do not have to grind every second to prove that you care.I get into how I am organizing the year in phases. Each phase has its own purpose. First you ramp up. You build momentum. You build belief. You start moving at a calm, deliberate pace. You are not sprinting. You are getting your bearings and building confidence. People will look at what you are doing and think you are going all out, but in your head you are steady, clear, and not in a tug of war.Then you dial it in. Not zero to sixty. More like forty five to sixty. You hold that calm headspace but you tighten your focus and stack habits. You build consistency as an actual skill. You choose to trust yourself. You build momentum that feels sustainable, not chaotic. After that, you scale back a bit. You settle back into something closer to that early ramp up pace. You are still doing the work, but you are not redlining. Then you wind down. I am huge on using the end of the year as a real wind down phase, not just a long weekend. We are going to start talking about that November first. The wind down is built in on purpose so you stop repeating the cycle of go hard, burn out, disappear, restart, repeat.This is a system to replace the fitness message you have been handed your whole life. The message that says push harder, push harder, push harder, and if you cannot keep up it is your fault. I am saying no to that. You do not have to live at all gas no brakes. Most people who run that way end up off to the side anyway, trying to recover, then jumping right back into the same pattern. I want you on a steady path instead of stuck in that loop.I also share what this looks like in my own training right now. I have dealt with foot issues and a walking boot since last year. I am still doing the work. I tell you how many workouts I logged month by month even while limited, because this is important. Consistency is not about perfect workouts in perfect conditions. Consistency is doing what you can with the body you have today. Stretching counts. Rehab counts. Short sessions count. Forty one workouts in June. Eighty six in July including rehab. Sixty four in August. Fifty four in September, including when I was still in the boot. Fifty nine in October. That is not hype. That is systems, pacing, and refusing to quit on myself.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Not happy, not sad, not energized, not connected. Just floating. He explains how this happens slowly over time, from past hurt, from stressful routines, from always being on, and from the constant distractions we surround ourselves with to avoid actually feeling anything.Daryl walks through how emotional shutdown is a survival mode that a lot of people are in right now. You convince yourself you are functioning, you keep it surface level with most people, you keep scrolling, you keep moving, but you are not really connected to yourself or anybody else. He talks about why that becomes dangerous long term, because when you turn off the painful stuff you also turn off the good stuff. The warmth. The joy. The love. The pride. The calm.This conversation is about starting to wake back up. Daryl shares some first steps to reconnect. Slowing down. Having real conversations instead of constant distraction. Meeting up with people in person when you can. Getting outside without a screen for a few quiet minutes and actually sitting with yourself. Letting yourself feel anger and grief when something hurts, instead of shutting it down. Letting yourself feel excitement and care when something good shows up, instead of playing it cool.You will also hear him stress how helpful therapy can be for untangling why you disconnected in the first place and how you personally can start to move forward. Everyone's story is different. Everyone's way back is different. But nobody is meant to live their entire life numb.This is a very real talk about what it means to stop just getting through the day and start actually living again.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Science matters for performance and it absolutely has a place in mental and emotional health, but most of us are not building a lab grade life. We are trying to live an active life we enjoy. So I challenge you to build your fitness around what you like, build your eating plan around your preferences, and let consistency carry you.I also share why expert driven hot takes can contradict each other and why endless scrolling or debate can distract you from living your own story. If you truly love research, explore it, but be honest about whether you are using it to avoid action. Most of us think we are logical, yet we are emotional first.

Quinn: https://johnwquinn.com/book/In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, Daryl sits down once again with Zachary Fenell for another heartfelt and insightful conversation about life with cerebral palsy and the importance of building strong support systems.Daryl and Zach open up about what independence truly means and how support can look different for everyone depending on the season of life. They discuss the value of knowing what you need, asking for help without guilt, and recognizing that a healthy support system is built on mutual respect and compassion.Zach shares powerful stories about moving out on his own, working with supportive colleagues, and maintaining independence while relying on community. He and Daryl also touch on deeper emotional layers like overcoming the feeling of being a burden, recognizing your worth in relationships, and giving yourself permission to lean on others when needed.The conversation expands to how sharing your story can create meaningful connections. From Zach's marathon journey inspired by John W. Quinn's Someone Like Me to his leadership with the online CP Chat Now community, this episode reminds us that support systems can start with one conversation, one post, or one act of sharing.Daryl and Zach highlight how living with cerebral palsy builds problem-solving resilience and creativity that often goes unnoticed. They close with a call for everyone to find ways to connect—whether it's through online communities, friendships, or revisiting people who once played a key role in your life.If you've ever struggled to ask for help, felt isolated, or wondered how to build your circle of support, this episode will remind you that you already have the strength, creativity, and value to connect and thrive.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worried about what others might think, this is your nudge to take the next step you can see. One step, then another, then another. You cannot screw your goals up unless you stop trying, and most people come back when the time is right anyway.We talk about why comparing your path to what you think others are doing keeps you in your head and out of action. I share how to take the first step, how to pivot when the plan shifts, and how to ignore the noise from critics who are not living your life.

I give the backstory on building the YLF Experience, how the inside/out foundation came together, and why I believe modeling the process matters as much as the outcome. I also talk about returning from a beach trip at 239.9 pounds, using food to cope without shame, and choosing a pace that I can actually live with.You will hear what my training looks like right now. Two total body lift sessions, three rides of three miles each, and a switch from the recumbent bike to the upright which I really enjoy. I cover the ankle rehab work, daily stretching, and how I am managing CP related biomechanics while easing back into consistent movement. On the food side I share the photo food journal approach in the YLF app, last week's nine restaurant or cookie meals as my baseline, and the simple goal for this week. Four or fewer non prepped meals, no guilt attached.The theme is data over drama. I weigh in, take front, side, and back photos, measure my waist, and move on. If the scale bumps up two pounds I note it, look at patterns, and keep going. We acknowledge emotions, then make decisions from information. That is how a forever active lifestyle takes shape. There is also a little teaser for something special coming in November.

Write those things down and look at them with honesty and patience.You don't have to fix everything right now. Awareness is the first step.

We live in an and world. It's not always one truth or the other. Two things can be true at the same time, and that applies to how we view ourselves, others, and even the way we approach health and fitness.I share my thoughts on how easy it is to fall into absolutes when we're constantly being hit with information, opinions, and “truths.” Whether it's online, at the store, or in conversations, we're always being pulled to pick sides. But life isn't that simple. It's full of nuance and context.We talk about finding common ground, reconnecting with others, and recognizing that what's true for you might look different for someone else. I also share how this perspective fits into the YLF philosophy of living from the inside/out. When we focus on connection, listening, and building from our shared humanity, we can truly support one another in becoming our best selves.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Have we isolated ourselves so much in the name of protecting our peace and enforcing boundaries that we have started to disconnect from others and even from ourselves. Over the last few years many of us learned to withdraw, and it can feel easier to stay in our own world than to show up for people who need us. The line between healthy solitude and avoidance is not the same for everyone, and I do not pretend to have the absolute answer.I walk through how self work can tilt into self absorption, why showing up in public or for a friend can feel more draining when we are used to being alone, and how empathy and compassion can fade when we are always inward. I share my questions, my observations, and I invite you to share yours. If this hits, email me with your experience and where you think the line is for you. Let's keep this real and practical, inside/out, and figure it out together.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Daryl speaks to the listeners who took the first step, did the thing for weeks or months, maybe years, and then felt the space move on without them. He shares how he returned to fitness and content after a long pause, what changed in the landscape, and how he rebuilt by adjusting expectations, relearning the game, and showing up again.

He talks openly about aging, cerebral palsy, and how overuse injuries have forced him to adapt his physical and mental approach to life. Through this perspective, Daryl challenges the idea of “reasonable” expectations and encourages you to stop settling for what feels safe or acceptable to others.He shares how adapting to his current stage of life has sharpened his focus on what truly matters and why waiting too long to chase what you want can lead to regret. This conversation is about taking ownership of your life, pursuing your goals before it's too late, and realizing that the benchmarks society sets for you don't define your potential.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Awareness days are a starting point, but the real work is in the daily conversations, the stories, and the connection that happens when we talk openly about our lived experiences.I share what it's been like to grow up with CP, the range of experiences within the condition, and why no two stories are alike. I talk about how I've learned to own my story, from being self-conscious about my walk to showing it daily on video, and how I've chosen to stop using humor to hide pain. Living with CP has taught me perspective, resilience, and gratitude for independence, even while dealing with what's likely chronic pain every day.If you live with CP, or know someone who does, I hope this episode encourages you to share your story. Every day can be an awareness day, and your voice can help someone else see what's possible.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.
