Are you killing your business by refusing to take breaks? Here's the brutal truth about entrepreneurial burnout 😴 In this episode, I'm calling out all the high-achieving fitness coaches who schedule their days back-to-back-to-back and push themselves to the breaking point. I share a raw moment from today when I was completely exhausted but still had a filming session scheduled on my calendar. What happened next taught me a powerful lesson about managing energy rather than just managing time. The truth is, the way you show up and the energy you bring to your work matters more than you think. When you're constantly pushing without rest, you're not showing up as your best self - you're just going through the motions. If you find yourself burning out after weeks of grinding, this episode is your wake-up call. I break down why sometimes the most productive thing you can do is take a break, even when your calendar says otherwise. Because in this game of entrepreneurship, your state of mind is the most important asset you have. Top Quotes: "When you're playing this game of being an entrepreneur, the most important thing that you need to manage is your state. And you need to manage your energy, and you need to make sure that you keep yourself in a good place." (2:29) "Just because you can put yourself to the breaking point every single day does not mean you should." (4:12) "If you show up with really good, positive energy, on a day-to-day basis, magical things happen without a lot of effort, and if you show up with this burnt-out, tired, stressed-out, overwhelmed energy, then all the things that you're trying to do actually get harder."

Want to know the real reason you're losing attraction to your partner? It's time for some uncomfortable honesty 💯 In this episode of Monday with the Marks, Kirsten and I get raw about what really keeps attraction alive in long-term relationships. We pull back the curtain on our own journey - from what initially drew us together to the brutal moments when we've both lost attraction to each other. If you've ever felt that spark fading with your partner but didn't know how to fix it, this conversation is your wake-up call. The truth is, most couples avoid these uncomfortable discussions until it's too late, ending up as roommates instead of lovers. We share exactly how to have those difficult conversations before your relationship reaches the point of no return. What's mind-blowing is how attraction evolves over time - from the superficial qualities that first catch your eye to the deeper connection that keeps you coming back years later. The good news? You can reignite that flame if you're willing to be honest with yourself and your partner about what's really going on. Top Quotes: "I think integrity and backing your words with actual action is a very attractive quality. Imagine me saying I'm gonna work on myself and be at the gym every morning and then I just kept doing the exact same thing. That's just not an attractive quality." (6:50) "If you're listening to this right now and you're in a relationship where you've lost attraction, literally have the conversation. If you don't, then it's only going to get worse and you're going to get more disconnected to a point where it's unfixable." (10:50) "I think you deserve to feel attracted to your partner and your partner deserves to feel attracted to you."

Trapped in the hustle loop? Here's why you can't scale past $15k months 🔄 In this episode, I'm exposing the invisible ceiling that's keeping your fitness coaching business stuck at $10-15k months. Even though you've mastered client attraction and delivery, there's a hidden trap that almost every coach falls into when trying to scale - and it's costing you tens of thousands every month. I break down exactly why working harder isn't the answer and why most coaches are literally doing the world a disservice by staying small. The truth is, this window of opportunity in the online coaching market won't last forever, and if you're already making $10k+ monthly, you're ahead of 99% of coaches out there. The real breakthrough comes when you understand how to multiply your impact through others. When you do the math (which I'll show you), the difference between a $15k month and a $100k month isn't about working 10x harder - it's about learning a completely different approach to your business. One that feels uncomfortable at first but leads to both more money AND more freedom on the other side. Top Quotes: "You're constantly bouncing from task to task to task in your business, and as a result, you're never able to scale past $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 a month. That's called the hustle loop." (01:46) "If you're making $10,000 to $15,000 a month right now, and you're not scaling, you are doing the world a disservice." (04:07) "I would rather take my car, drive it off a bridge, swim to the bottom of the ocean. I hate that. I don't want to be here if I'm not growing and pushing myself."

Are you willing to do whatever the fuck it takes to break through your income plateau? 🔥 In this episode, I'm calling out all the fitness coaches who say they want to hit $15K months but aren't willing to do what's necessary to get there. During my 10K Mastermind coaching calls, I reveal the only mindset that actually matters when you're trying to level up your business. You'll hear me drop some hard truth bombs about everything from pricing strategy to the dangers of working with your significant other. But the most powerful moment comes when I break down exactly how simple it is to go from $10K to $15K months - it's just basic math and four words that most coaches aren't willing to embrace. If you're tired of being stuck at the same income level month after month, this episode is your wake-up call. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is smaller than you think, but only if you're ready to adopt the mindset of doing whatever the fuck it takes to get there. Top Quotes: "I don't get involved in business with my significant other, okay? That's my rule. And the reason for that is because if anything ever goes south with my significant other, now it's a fucking problem." (32:05) "When we're done work, whatever happened at work has to stay at work. Which basically means, if there's ever anything that happened at work that's stressful, that has to stay at work." (35:20) "Whatever the fuck it takes, write that down. That's the mindset. That's the only mindset."

When you're both having a bad day at the same time, who picks who up? 😬 In this episode, I'm getting real with you guys about what happens when both partners are down in the dumps at the same time. Between my Instagram getting restricted, constant travel, and Kirsten dealing with pregnancy nausea, we found ourselves in that rare situation where neither of us had the energy to lift the other up. I dive into the difference between masculine and feminine approaches to stress (my tendency to work more vs. taking a step back), and why it's impossible to be happy 100% of the time in any relationship. The real growth comes from learning how to coexist during those challenging moments when you're both at your worst. So if you and your partner struggle when you're both having a bad day, I'm giving you the raw truth about communication, creating space, and approaching each other with love when you're both running on empty. Because sometimes the strongest relationships aren't built on constant happiness – they're built on how you handle the moments when you're both grumpy AF. 🙌 Top Quotes: "The relationships that last are the ones that learn how to coexist in the moments where, because if I'm only happy 60% of the time and you're only happy 60% of the time, then what are we doing in that crossover?" (02:19) "That's the difference between the masculine and the feminine. For me the masculine answer is work more work more work more. And the solution is like more feminine, like fucking relax, bro. Like take a fucking step back and just breathe." (06:59) "If I'm really stressed out, I try my best to like, tell her 'I'm super fucking overwhelmed right now'... Because if you don't communicate, this is where I'm at right now. And then all of a sudden you just fucking snap over nothing, which can happen easily."

Are you burning the candle at both ends? The hidden cost of entrepreneurial hustle ⚠️ In this episode, I'm getting real about my recent burnout and the chaos that followed. After weeks of non-stop travel, speaking events, and high-pressure sales situations, I hit a wall - physically, mentally, and energetically. What followed wasn't just internal exhaustion, but external manifestations too (hello, restricted Instagram account!). The entrepreneurial hustle culture glorifies grinding 24/7, but I'm calling BS on that mentality. Because the truth is, none of us are robots. That momentum you're desperately trying to maintain? It might be the very thing holding you back from your next level of success. I'm breaking down exactly how I recognized my burnout, what it cost me, and the simple shift that helped me get back on track. If you're feeling that weight on your chest and cloudy thinking that comes with pushing too hard for too long, this episode is your permission slip to decompress without guilt. Top Quotes: "You're not a robot. And you need to take time to decompress. And the time that you think that you're taking away from your business, aka recharging your energy, is actually the very same thing that's going to catapult your business to the next level of success." (4:38) "I'm a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And so are you. You're a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And the energy that I devote usually is, this is the best fucking day of my life." (1:56) "Sometimes that roadblock that you're facing, all you need to do is take a step back. And just breathe. Decompress. And then you realize, all you gotta do is take two steps to the right and you can just walk straight past the roadblock with no problems."

When Instagram blocks your account: how to keep growing with follower ads 🚀 In this raw and tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly what happened when Instagram restricted my account from reaching non-followers for an entire year. Because here's the truth: when you're getting 10.7-14 million views per month and suddenly lose 50% of your reach, you need a backup plan. From calculating your exact cost per acquisition to determining the perfect targeting strategy, I'm revealing my complete framework for using follower ads to maintain growth even when Instagram tries to shut you down. Plus, I share why you shouldn't even consider running these ads unless you're already at $5-10k/month. Top Quotes: "I'm a big believer in universal energy... when I feel good, good shit happens. And when I don't feel good, bad shit happens." (0:48) "If I spend $28, I get 28 followers. I'm going to book one sales call out of that... I need to get six calls booked, which means I need to start about 168 conversations to get one sale." (6:45) "I wouldn't even consider running a follower ad unless you were doing five to ten thousand dollars a month... Once you're at five to 10k month, I think it's a fucking necessity."
