I spent years believing a lie that cost me time I'll never get back.

This episode is about that lie. And if you're a coach or clinician, especially one who's dealing with pain, injury, or a body that isn't cooperating, it's probably costing you too.

Dan is one of the smartest strength coaches I know. When he herniated a disc that debilitated him and wouldn't get better, knowing stuff wasn't enough.

Later, once we helped him recover, he told me what made the difference:

You can't be objective with yourself when it's your body, your pain, your livelihood or your identity in jeopardy. You need someone else to do that for you.

It's always different when it's you.

We get into this work because we care. We spend years learning how to help people through exactly this kind of thing. So when it happens to us, the conclusion feels logical: I should be able to handle this myself.

Nah, bruh.

If you listen to this episode and wonder "Will I ever start feeling better?" then this is your neon, flashing sign to do something about it.

I'm here. Reach out and let's party
