Episode description

Why does it feel like everyone is watching you at the gym? Why do you feel like an imposter, even when you've been showing up consistently?

In this episode, I break down the internal monologue of lifting, what gym imposter syndrome actually feels like, and why that voice in your head doesn't fully go away. I talk about the moment I felt like I didn't deserve a bench, how that brought me back to when I first started, and the mindset shift that changed everything.

If you've ever felt judged, out of place, or unsure of yourself at the gym or in your life, this episode is for you.
