It feels like I'm ready to make this transition. I'm ready to start taking steps towards becoming this part of myself, right? Like stepping into my health and well-being on a physical level and not just mentally and emotionally and spiritually.
Ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of 'I'll start tomorrow'? Brandi Kelly knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'The Sober Bartender', she opens up about her struggle to get back into fitness after years of putting it off. Despite having all the gear and the motivation, taking that first step was the hardest part. Brandi draws a powerful parallel between starting a workout routine and embarking on the journey of recovery.
Both require daily action and a lot of perseverance. In her twenties, fitness was Brandi's passion. She competed, boxed, ran marathons, and trained in jiu-jitsu. But as drinking took over, her motivation dwindled, and she found herself getting too comfortable in her comfort zone. Now sober and feeling mentally and emotionally stronger, Brandi is determined to reclaim her physical health.
She talks candidly about how she’s maintained a slim shape despite indulging in whatever food she wants, but admits she doesn't feel good physically. Brandi also reflects on her mother’s strength during a cancer diagnosis, underscoring the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive, like-minded individuals. Her story is a reminder that even the toughest challenges can lead to hidden blessings. This episode is not just about fitness; it's about embracing change, building resilience, and finding joy in the journey.
So, if you’re looking for a bit of inspiration to kickstart your own path to wellness, or just need a reminder that it’s never too late to start, this episode is for you. Brandi’s honesty and determination might just be the push you need to take that first step.
