Goals, Grit, and Some Woo Woo Sh*t
How To Get Motivated With Jordan Syatt
Okay, 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 about
- Why you don’t need to love exercise (or be perfect at it!) to do it anyway
- How the menopause “wellness” industry is profiting off your confusion
- The real difference between training for health vs. training for a six-pack
- The bullshit of “your body is your business card” and how we can be honest about body fluctuations, even in the spotlight
And 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 goals
- How fear can kickstart motivation (and why that’s not a bad thing!)
- Why the menopause fitness industry is full of expensive nonsense
- The difference between training for health and chasing an Instagram body
So 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.
