#224: I tweaked my back (again). Here's how I'm moving through it.

Monday morning, 6am, halfway through my workout, I lost my core brace on an RDL and felt my back tweak. Instantly I knew: frustration, fear, anger, and the urge to shut down and numb out for the rest of the day. Sound familiar?


In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly what happened in real time as I navigated a back injury mid-week, mid-momentum, with a packed schedule and a big day ahead. I share the full spiral that hit me, the reframes I used to shift out of it, and the powerful breakthrough I received sitting in a cold tub that literally brought me to tears.


This one is raw, honest, and still unfolding as I record it.


Key Takeaways:

  • You don't have to feel 100% to show up 100%. That's the practice.

  • When life throws a curveball, the quality of your life is determined by how you respond, not by the curveball itself.

  • "How might this be happening for me?" is the most powerful reframe you can sit with.

  • The desire to numb out is a signal that a breakthrough is waiting on the other side. Don't numb out, tap in.

  • Your body is always communicating. Pain is not failure, it's a signal that your body is working exactly as designed.

  • You have everything you need within you. Stop outsourcing your own knowing.

Still healing, still in it, still sharing the journey with you.
