“What I really want to identify in my patients is where they are weak. Where they are telling themselves stories, where they are self-sabotaging or defeating within themselves their internal dialogue.” (12:06)
“If I am teaching people about muscle and teaching people about wellness, it is of vital importance for me to be in alignment with what I am saying.” (21:01)
“It’s the same four stories that you are probably playing over and over again. I would challenge you to make your new favorite sport catch and release.” (38:07)
