Ever wonder why some people crush their fitness goals while others struggle to stay on track? What if the biggest challenge isn't just about workouts and meal plans but also about the people around us, our mindset, and how we see ourselves?   In this conversation with Melissa Vogel, we discuss the deeper aspects of fitness beyond workouts and meal plans. Melissa shares how leading by example—especially as parents—plays a crucial role in shaping the habits of those around us. She highlights the importance of being mindful of our environment and the people we surround ourselves with and how their support (or lack of it) can impact our journey.   We also dive into the topic of sabotage—both from others and from ourselves. Whether it's a partner unintentionally offering temptations or internal struggles that make us slip back into old habits, Melissa explains how identity plays a huge role in making lasting change.   Lastly, we touch on relationships and communication. Fitness isn't just about physical health; it's also about mindset and support systems. Having honest conversations, setting boundaries, and creating a space where both partners feel valued can make all the difference in maintaining long-term success.   Key Takeaways:   Self-sabotage happens when identity doesn't align with new habits.    Hard conversations are necessary for growth in both fitness and relationships.   Words have power, so use them wisely.   Resources:   Melissa Vogel is a fitness expert, speaker, and host of the Bomb Mom podcast. With years of experience in health, mindset, and personal transformation, she helps busy individuals break past their limitations and build strong, confident bodies. Her approach goes beyond workouts—focusing on identity, environment, and the power of mindset to create lasting change.   Melissa's podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/61F7uCQVlnDqX8IhemyDkX    @itsmelissavogel (IG) https://www.instagram.com/itsmelissavogel  _______________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.

If you go to a doctor with a mental health concern, you're almost certain to be given a “diagnosis” and likely a prescription to match. It's easy to start to view yourself as your diagnosis rather than someone suffering from symptoms - and those are two very different things. On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared offers a different way to look at your “diagnosis”. What if the very thing your doctor has told you is a “disorder” is actually your superpower. This is not to minimize symptoms that may be causing disruption in your life, but rather suggests that we can embrace differences in the way our brains work while working to bring the body back into balance naturally. To highlight this, Jared shares the unique strengths of an ADHD type brain through his personal experiences, as well as his wife Jen's transformative journey from struggling with multiple mental health challenges to embracing her true self. This is a powerful message about defining yourself beyond any diagnosis. Additional Information:#490: The Vital Importance of Real Relationships: Why Reaching Out Matters#457: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 4 - How Changing Your Mindset Can Change Your Life#493: The Mindset of Lasting Health and Fitness with Melissa Vogel#456: What Is Behind the Rise in Food Allergies and Autoimmune Disease?

It's great for business nerds like me and anyone who loves a feel-good story.Melissa's GVTG: 1. Keep having conversations around DEI and try to stay open to understanding different perspectives. Personalizing things with simple language and relevant examples works better than statistics.2. Look for ways to use common courtesy. Be aware of when you might be experiencing privilege at someone else's expense. For example, speak up if the cashier overlooked the person ahead of you in line, or give the floor to a work colleague who hasn't been able to break into the conversation or had a chance to speak.3. Anyone can put on their “anthropologist hat” and learn more about the world and people with which they're less familiar. The holidays are a great time to do that and to celebrate both the similarities and differences we have across cultures. Take the opportunity to teach your kids or other family members about traditions different from your own.Read the Stories. Connect with Dr. Melissa Vogel.

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Melissa Vogel, the inspiring creator of Busy to Bomb Fit Mom and host of the Bomb Mom Podcast.

Guest:  Melissa Vogel
Melissa is a fitness expert and podcast host who turned her traumatic childhood experiences into a powerful force for healing, personal growth, and helping others.  Overview:  In this episode, we sit down with Melissa Vogel to explore the impact of growing up in an environment of betrayal and how these early experiences shape us. We dive into the emotional journey of overcoming trauma and the steps Melissa took to reclaim her self-worth, break cycles, and build a life of strength—both mentally and physically.  Key Discussion Points:  Melissa's Childhood Betrayal:
Melissa shares her experiences growing up with parents who stayed together despite infidelity. She talks about the anxious and unstable environment this created, leading to feelings of unworthiness and "not being enough."  The Role of Anxiety & ADHD:
Melissa reflects on how anxiety and ADHD played a part in her childhood, questioning whether one condition may have triggered the other.  Awareness and Childhood Coping:
Melissa recounts how, as a child, she became aware of her father's cheating and the emotional impact it had on her family. Her role as the caretaker for her siblings and her mother left her feeling unseen and neglected.  Anger and Realization:
As a teenager, Melissa began to piece together the betrayal. This led to anger, particularly toward her father, and a deep sense of loss, as she realized how much the infidelity had affected her own self-worth.  Sibling Responses:
Melissa discusses how her siblings dealt with the trauma differently—some turned to rebellion, while others sought attention in superficial ways. Melissa became a people-pleaser, but she eventually found her way to therapy, which helped her process her emotions and experiences.  Her Mom's Role:
Melissa also shares her frustration with her mother, who she viewed as weak for staying in the marriage and not protecting her children from the emotional fallout.  Breaking the Cycle:
Melissa married a man who shared many of the emotional traits of her father, but she eventually recognized the patterns and sought therapy. Through this journey, she found her worth, focused on self-love, and broke the cycle of dysfunction for her own children.  The Link Between Physical and Emotional Strength:
Melissa discusses how fitness became a crucial part of her healing process. She emphasizes the connection between physical health and emotional resilience, explaining that moving her body helped her mentally navigate the challenges of divorce and personal transformation.  Self-Worth and Boundaries:
One of Melissa's key takeaways is the importance of self-worth. She encourages listeners to prioritize themselves, set boundaries, and never settle for bare minimums in relationships or life.  Key Quotes:  “You didn't just cheat on mom; you cheated on me too.”  "Move your body. It doesn't have to be about losing weight—it's about getting your mind clear."  “We have this inner beast and goddess that deserves to be loved and nurtured. Keep working on yourself, even if it's just a walk a day.”  Actionable Steps:  Start Moving:
Melissa encourages listeners to start with something simple—like taking a walk. Moving your body helps shift your mental state and begins the process of healing.  Embrace Therapy:
Therapy was pivotal for Melissa in understanding her experiences and developing healthier patterns. She encourages others to seek professional help if they're struggling to process trauma.  Prioritize Yourself:
Learn to set boundaries and prioritize your own needs and self-worth. Self-love is key to breaking toxic cycles and building stronger relationships.  Where to Find Melissa Vogel:  Website: https://www.itsmelissavogel.com/  Social Media:  Instagram: @itsmelissavogel    Connect with Us:  If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review!
