In today's episode, we wrap up season 1 by taking you back in time to an episode that was recorded the beginning of 2022 (arranged end of 2021). It is an interview with the CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp, Bryce Henson. This episode is long overdue, however, the timing is perfect.What is interesting is that this was the only interview that was done and hadn't been published. For many guests, this would have likely been an issue, and or they would be up to other things years later, but with Bryce, it is very much still him today and he's accomplished a lot since then.Bryce, today in 2024, is still everything he was introduced as and more, making big moves. His story is one worth listening to, and his mindset is one worth learning from.Tune in and let us know your thoughts. You can message us on social media, post, and tag.

Whether you're in a fat loss/weight loss phase, a building phase, or trying to maintain where you're at (neither lose or gain), there are certain "must dos" you need to continue doing. In this episode, Taylor goes over 5 of her "must dos", no matter the phase or season, to ensure she doesn't get "too lost" on her journey to pursue her potential.

In this episode, Taylor goes into detail about her decision to compete again and the journey 12 weeks in and 5 weeks out. She also dives into some of the personal hurdles she's faced as she's made the changes to better her life and physique, not only over the last 12 weeks of prepping for competition day but the months leading up to it as well.Tune in to this episode to hear more!Interested in online fitness coaching?

This episode is part 2 of a 2-part episode diving into the basics of nutrition and training.In these 2 episodes, Taylor has broken down everything you need to know to get started on your fitness journey, to see great results.So much of the information that you find on social media can be really misleading or it's steps you don't need to take until you've got the basics down and understood.This podcast contains information that could have helped millions of people avoid heartache and saved time and money if they understood rather than seeking the new fad diet/exercise or quick fix. Understanding how food works with your body, how to "manipulate" it for your goals, and how to get the most out of your training can be life-changing.If you'd like help in your fitness journey you can apply for coaching HERETo email Taylor info@taylorlakin.comor connect on Instagram @taylorlakin_ @tayloredforyoucoaching @thepursueyourpotentialpodcast

After being born through a c-section because of a breached (feet first) position and umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, Taylor was moments from death and spent a few weeks  in the NICU. She had a physical therapist briefly as a baby to help with a condition that she would have called "Torticollis".Though she spent her whole life with this, she wasn't aware of it until her 30s while having a conversation with her mother about the pains she was experiencing. She also discovered through her chiropractor that she has a slight degree of scoliosis. These issues affect her from top to bottom and she's actively trying to work on the issues and pay attention to how they affect her day-to-day as well as her weightlifting and other fitness endeavors.In this short episode, Taylor discusses how valuable it is to know of or learn about these issues with your body. What was your birth story? What injuries did you have growing up? What injuries have you had recently? What about your posture from moment to moment?It would also be great if you could pay attention to these things with your children and let them know more about what their body has gone through. It can really help them as they get older.Tune in and share your thoughts by writing a review and or tagging @thepursueyourpotentialpodcast on Instagram / social media.

If you're here listening to the Pursue Your Potential Podcast then it's safe to say you're on the journey of pursuing your potential. You know you're made for more and you've set out to see what that is in different areas of your life.In this episode, we dive into the idea that you're probably not working as hard as you could. This doesn't mean running yourself into the ground, starving yourself, rising injury, or creating other potential problems. It means that in those moments where you could work harder and grow, you're falling short for whatever reason. Are you working hard enough? Are you being intentional?Imagine joining a transformation program like the "TFY Transformation Program" and getting to the end and not recognizing yourself or feeling like that old version of you is so far from who you are now. That is a good sign you worked hard and you went through a transformation. If you get to the end and feel the same. Did you work hard? Tune in and let's open up the conversation!To join TFY Coaching APPLY HERE

In this episode, Taylor dives into what it's been like being a stay-at-home working mom.Back in 2013 when Taylor had her baby, she and her husband decided it would be best for her to be a stay-at-home mom. Her husband traveled for work a lot, typically home for 10 days and gone for work 10+ days at a time. This came with a lot of challenges, but was the best decision for their family at that time in their lives. Neither of them wanted their son to be in daycare and raised by another. While Chris would be away, Taylor was responsible for taking care of her son and everything at home. Taylor used that time to go to school, take courses, and start her own businesses that could be done from home. Since then, Taylor has built multiple businesses.  Taylored for You Coaching, which is an online and in-person fitness business, Hula Hoop Fitness Utah, which is a hula hoop fitness business where she teaches people how to hula hoop for fitness and dance, Notary Signing Services, which is a business where she is a notary signing agent. On top of this, Taylor rents out her home gym to those who want a private space to work out.If you're interested in joining TFY Coaching there are limited spots available at this time. APPLY HERE

In this episode, Taylor dives into why it's important to look for the lessons you learn in your fitness journey. Just because you don't get results or the results you wanted during a program does not mean that the program and or investment was a waste. It is only a waste if you choose not to take what you learned during that time to help you move forward.Sometimes the only reward you get in a program is learning about yourself and that is a huge reward. We cannot change what we are not willing to acknowledge and entering a fitness journey brings ALL of that to the surface. We cannot expect our bodies to change if our mindset is holding us back.

In this episode, Taylor dives into the power of complacency. It is easy to become complacent and comfortable and extremely difficult at times to move away from that.Complacency is powerful because it feels good and serves you. It's great to experience this from time to time and it's not a problem until it is.When it comes to health, fitness, weight loss goals, we end up doing extreme things to undo the "damage" being complacent too long does.If you're ready to transform your lifestyle and body so that you can be a healthier, happier, more confident you, APPLY FOR ONLINE COACHING
