If you've ever felt like you do everything right with food and still end up bingeing, this episode is for you. My friend and former client. Bailey is back to go deeper into what was actually driving her binge eating for years - and it had almost nothing to do with calories, willpower, or food itself. We talk about the shame she carried from a past coach, the exact belief that was quietly running her food, her business, and her relationships, and what it actually feels like to be normal around food on the other side of it. If you've ever wondered why you "know what to do" but still can't seem to do it, Bailey's story will explain exactly why.In this episode, we cover:- Why Bailey's binge eating had nothing to do with food noise or lack of discipline- The shame-based coaching experience that almost stopped her from getting help- The exact belief — "I'm not good enough" — that was running her food, her career, and her relationships- Why success and growth can actually bring food noise back ("new level, new devil")- How journaling helped her realize her food struggles were never really about food- What being "normal around food" actually looks like for Bailey- The identity shift that changed everything - and what she'd tell her old selfIf you're a high-achieving woman who's tried every diet and still feels stuck around food, this episode will help you understand why - and what actually has to change first.CONNECT WITH BAILEY:‣ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baileygeswein/‣ Apply to Join Dieting From The Inside Out Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com?utm_source=podcast‣ Grab the Food Noise Solution Guide Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com/food-noise?utm_source=podcast

In today's solo episode, I'm diving into a topic that has been top of mind lately: how you truly become your environment. From the people you surround yourself with to the spaces you spend the most time in, your environment has the power to shape your habits, mindset, energy, and ultimately your results.After reflecting on conversations with close friends, mastermind experiences, and the evolution of our gym community at Benchmark Fitness over the last seven years, I wanted to have a real conversation about the impact of proximity, consistency, and choosing environments that challenge you to grow. Whether it's the gym you train at, the coffee shop you work from, or the rooms you put yourself in, every environment is either expanding you or keeping you comfortable.Tune in to hear more about: • Why your environment plays a huge role in your growth, habits, and success • How being around ambitious, disciplined people naturally elevates your standards • The connection between consistency, accountability, and surrounding yourself with the right energy • Why investing in environments that inspire you can completely change your trajectory • How to audit your current routines, spaces, and relationships to align with your next level selfIf you've been craving growth, expansion, or a new level in your life or business, let this be your reminder that sometimes the biggest shift starts with changing the room you're in.

Today's conversation is for the woman who feels disconnected from her body, her voice, her intuition… or maybe even herself.So many of us learned how to survive — how to push through, stay strong, keep going — but we were never taught how to feel safe inside of our own bodies after life, love, trauma, or survival pulled us away.In this episode, I'm joined by Cathy Williams, a trailblazer in body-based healing and creative arts therapy and founder of Intuitive Self. We talk about real healing — not the pretty version, not the Instagram version — but the slow, non-linear, deeply human process of coming back home to yourself.We get into:What disconnection actually feels like (emotionally, physically, spiritually)Somatic healing explained in a way that finally makes senseWhy survival mode can look like “I'm fine” while your body is still reactingHow to heal trauma you don't consciously rememberThe difference between intuition and fear (and how to tell)Why creativity is a powerful doorway back to selfIf you've been tired, numb, overproductive, anxious, or stuck in autopilot… this episode is a deep exhale.

If you want the blueprint for scaling beyond content and turning vision into a business, this one's for you.Check out Christian here:https://www.instagram.com/christianguzmanfitness/https://www.youtube.com/ @guzmanchristian https://www.instagram.com/alphalete/SUSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: https://the505podcast.ac-page.com/rock-reportThe Creator Pricing Guide - The No BS Guide to Pricing Your Creative ServicesCoupon Code: ROCKNATION10 gets you $10 off at checkout for the bouldershttps://courses.the505podcast.com/pricing-guideJoin our Discord! https://discord.gg/xgEAzkqAvsMore Free Products:Our 5 Positioning Tips to Land Bigger Clients (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/5positioningtips 6 Questions to ask on Every Sales Call (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/6questionsfordiscoverycallCOP THE BFIGGY "ESSENTIALS" SFX PACK HERE: https://courses.the505podcast.com/BFIGGYSFXPACKKG Presets Vol. 1https://www.kostasgarcia.com/store-1/p/kglightroompresetsKostas' Amazon Storefront:https://amzn.to/3GhId2515% OFF Prism Lens FX with code: KOSTAS15https://bit.ly/42sNdejTimestamps: 0:00 - Intro1:29 - What makes creator brands scale vs. flop2:22 - Separating from the brand4:47 - Revenue isn't everything6:06 - Christian had no one to turn to for advice7:53 - Dealing with ego10:45 - Christian's biggest lesson in business11:50 - The power of A player hires15:13 - Personal Brand Kickstart15:39 - The dangers of being a checklist CEO16:47 - Christian's biggest hire to date18:55 - Why Christian doesn't ask for advice21:29 - Alphalete's infrastructure24:40 - Bringing a team inhouse26:37 - Getting people bought into your vision28:11 - You lose everything tomorrow, how do you build back up31:58 - Why YouTube will win33:48 - Why Christian started a completely new YouTube channel35:50 - The goal post is constantly moving38:46 - Influencer marketing is changing42:30 - Building a brand takes longer than you think44:47 - Christian's biggest rick47:53 - Buying the Alphalete property during covid49:27 - How Adderall affected Christian51:43 - Customer Acquisition for Alphaland vs Alphalete54:52 - What people don't understand about building a brand in 202556:45 - Content is the #1 most important needle mover58:39 - Christian's YouTube strategy1:00:28 - How Alphalete's first package shaped everything1:02:55 - How Christian handles messed up clothing1:04:50 - Being obsessed with the details1:05:30 - Alphalete's first women drop1:08:01 - The decision to do women's clothing1:09:18 - What happens when inventory sits in storage1:10:39 - Holding inventory costs money1:11:44 - Chasing Gym Shark1:13:35 - The drop style business model1:15:09 - When to bring back old styles1:16:39 - Separating Alphalete Women's vs Men's1:19:56 - Summer Shredding1:23:07 - The response to Summer Shredding from the Body Building community1:25:11 - How Summer Shredding has evolved1:25:53 - Getting 3D back1:27:31 - How to start an energy drink brand1:30:01 - Re-introducing 3D to the world1:30:34 - The pricing strategy of $2 per can1:32:43 - Pitching 3D1:34:45 - Christian's time management1:38:28 - Christian's new training style1:40:13 - Christian hypes you up1:43:57 - How to build strength1:45:48 - Christian's in the best shape of his life1:46:41 - Running a marathon1:49:46 - Goals outside of fitness1:51:41 - Finding balance1:53:24 - Gaining clarity in your 30s1:56:22 - How to refuel from burnout1:57:50 - Advice to your 18 year old selfIf you liked this episode please send it to a friend and take a screenshot for your story!
