Next question is, how do you manage and address feelings of shame that might arise in your fitness journey or business setbacks? Well, let me tell you, sometimes in my career I've gained some weight. I've gotten a little fluffier. What I do is I own it. It's uncomfortable, takes a lot of courage. But the major instance where this came up is the gym closed. I was completely isolated. I didn't have access to the workouts that I used to do. I felt very discouraged, very defeated. And I didn't have the body composition that I had a year prior to that. So I owned it. I was like, yeah, well, this is what happens when you're isolated and you don't have access to heavy weights. And then as time went on, I got access to heavy weights. I did something about it. I made a point to just get out of the house and walk.
