Send us a textOkay, real talk…have you ever had that "screw it, I messed up so I might as well quit" moment with your fitness goals? Yeah, me too. And so has Jordan Syatt, my guest on today's episode of Goals, Grit & Some Woo Woo Shit. Jordan's one of the realest, no-BS voices in the fitness world—he's trained Gary Vee, competed as a powerlifter, and is currently parenting two toddlers while running his business and still finding time to deadlift and draw penises on whiteboards (for educational purposes, obviously).In this episode, we dive headfirst into the real reason people don't stick with their fitness goals. Spoiler alert: it's not seed oils. It's not the government. It's not even your metabolism. It's your mindset…and Jordan calls us out in the best possible way.We also unpack how fear can actually be a super underrated motivator. I even pushed back on this at first… until I realized I've literally written an exercise in my book that's all about visualizing your worst-case scenario to spark change. Touché, Jordan.We also talk aboutWhy you don't need to love exercise (or be perfect at it!) to do it anywayHow the menopause “wellness” industry is profiting off your confusionThe real difference between training for health vs. training for a six-packThe bullshit of “your body is your business card” and how we can be honest about body fluctuations, even in the spotlightAnd honestly? This convo made me want to throw my kid in the air (safely), get some fresh air, and re-evaluate the fitness fear-based stories I still carry.What's Inside:The single biggest mindset block that sabotages most people's health goalsHow fear can kickstart motivation (and why that's not a bad thing!)Why the menopause fitness industry is full of expensive nonsenseThe difference between training for health and chasing an Instagram bodySo tell me—what's been keeping you stuck lately?Is it that all-or-nothing mindset? Perfectionism in disguise? Waiting to “want to” move your body? You're not alone…and this episode might be the kick you need. Come tell me what resonated most over on Instagram. I'm always down to talk brain rewiring and half-assed action.Mentioned In This Episode:The Jordan Syatt PodcastJordan Syatt FitnessJordan Syatt on YouTubeOonagh Duncan on InstagramLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!
Sometimes it's sooo easy to get caught up in tracking macros, workouts, and step goals, that you forget WHY you started your fitness journey in the first place.Like…the whole POINT of your fitness journey isn't *just* weight loss, or what you see in the mirror. It's about feeling GOOD in your body, having the energy to live fully, and building confidence that carries over into every area of life!The idea for this episode came to me after hearing a recent trending IG audio that says, “I forgot this was the whole point,” and WOW - it hit me hard. It reminded me that so many of us start our health journey wanting to lose weight or “tone up”. But…what we really want is food freedom, more energy, and to just feel strong and happy. If you haven't in a while (or you never have), I want you to check in on WHY you are doing this. What does fitness actually mean to YOU? Remember - the whole freaking point is to live a strong, joyful, and fulfilling life, friend!In this episode, we cover:Why there's SO much more behind your weight loss goalsHow to define and get clear on what fitness really means to YOUThe power of staying committed to your journey + how it impacts your loved onesRedefining your goals to create a life that feels joyful, fulfilling & truly alignedLinks/Resources:Ep. 187 | Redefining Fitness on YOUR Terms: What Does It Actually Mean to You?Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

You can't build a strategic travel business without knowing your numbers first, and that means reverse engineering your entire sales approach from expenses to income goals to your perfect sales mix. I'll walk you through the exact three-step process I use with travel advisors to create intentional sales funnels that actually convert - starting with calculating what your business really needs to cover (hint: it's probably more than you think when you factor in taxes), then determining your ideal product mix, and finally aligning your marketing matrix to support those specific sales goals. No more marketing everything to everyone or wondering why your efforts aren't translating to bookings. This is about building the strategic, profitable travel agency you actually want to run, and not just stumbling into whatever sales happen to come your way. Questions this episode answers:What expenses should travel business owners factor into their income goalsHow do you calculate your yearly income goal as a travel entrepreneur?How do you build a sales funnel for a travel business?How many leads does a travel agent need to reach income goals?What's the difference between leads and actual clients in travel sales?What is the marketing matrix for travel businesses?How do you align marketing efforts with sales goals in travel?Why should travel advisors specialize instead of selling all trip types?What's the best way to upsell travel clients for higher revenue?Enjoy (and take action)!---------------------------------------------------------------Check out EVERYTHING I offer to support your travel business journey: https://strategictravelentrepreneurpodcast.com/everything/Say HI on Social:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ritaperez19/Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/takethehelmvbsFB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/529490048073622 Direct EMAIL:rita@steeryourmarketing.com

How do our surroundings affect our ability to think? And can we connect with our sense of place and purpose by immersing ourselves in nature?In this episode of the Coach's Journey Podcast, walking coach Rebecca Norton brings her combined expertise in coaching and mountain leadership to bear on these questions and many more, in conversation with host Alex Swallow.Rebecca and Alex explore the lasting impact that access to the natural world has on our lives, from infancy through to adulthood, and how the coaching walks that Rebecca offers her clients help them to navigate new pathways – both in the physical environment and their internal worlds.Rebecca, who delivers workshop facilitation and social prescribing alongside her coaching and “wonder walks”, describes how she carefully built up her coaching business while continually developing her skills and experience as an outdoor activities instructor.She links the idea of being a tourist in your own city and developing curiosity about new perspectives with the importance of getting alongside coaching clients and seeing the world through their eyes.The many twists, turns, ups and downs of Rebecca's adventures in the hills act as a powerful metaphor for journeys through the challenges of careers, relationships, families and life decisions. Just as her clients gain new perspective on their lives as they ascend into the hills with Rebecca, so do we as she reflects on her unique, brilliant approach to coaching conversations and many other aspects of her work.In this episode, Rebecca and Alex also talk about:The power of experiencing coaching techniques from both sidesHow to integrate experiences as we train and gain qualificationsThe barriers we place between ourselves and our own fulfillmentSeeing who we need to become in order to achieve our goalsHow to lower the importance of gaining a client when building your coaching businessRebecca also reminds us that personal development can be a grueling expedition, and that if we fail to interrogate our deeper purpose and connect the ‘why' that guides us, we can be at risk of losing our way. She generously ends this episode with an array of tips to help coaches stay at their best.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:The Coaching Academy https://www.the-coaching-academy.com/Skill Force https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkillForceWonder Walks https://senseofdirection.life/wonder-walk/Peter Sage https://petersage.com/The Life Coach Directory https://www.lifecoach-directory.org.uk/ The Self-Love Journal: https://senseofdirection.life/product/self-love-journal/

If you're not hitting your fundraising goals, it's easy to think the problem is your CRM, website, or donation platform. But switching tools won't fix a broken strategy. I see so many nonprofits stuck in a cycle of blaming their tech instead of addressing the real issue—how they're engaging donors and running campaigns. In this episode, I'm breaking down three major reasons organizations miss their fundraising targets and what to do instead. I'm talking about the difference between reactive and proactive fundraising (and why most organizations are stuck in survival mode), the fear of making bold asks, and the importance of differentiation—because if you blend in, you'll be ignored. If you're tired of feeling like you're constantly fundraising but never getting ahead, this episode is for you.Topics:The myth of "better tech = better fundraising"—why tool-hopping won't solve your funding problemsThe real reasons nonprofits miss their fundraising goalsHow to shift from reactive fundraising to a proactive donor engagement planThe power of bold, emotionally-driven storytelling (and why playing it safe is hurting your donations)Why differentiation is key—if you don't stand out, donors will choose noneThe fundraising Sprint Method: how to stop the constant scramble and start raising more with less effortFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.
