182. "I Don’t Want to Look Stupid at the Gym" and How to Walk In Confident Anyway

If you’ve always stuck to the treadmill, avoided certain machines, or left the gym early because you felt overwhelmed or out of place… this episode is for you. In this conversation, I walk you through why this feeling is so common (especially for high-achieving women of color), what’s actually happening in your body and brain in those moments, and how to stop psyching yourself out before you even get started. 

I break down why you overthink your workouts, worry about doing things “the right way,” and how fear is keeping you in the same “safe” workouts (or skipping the gym altogether) that aren't helping you lose weight while giving you the exact steps you need to take to feel confident as f*ck in your next gym session.

Here’s what we get into:

-Why feeling like a beginner at the gym messes with your confidence, especially when you’re used to being good at everything else.

-How to stop overthinking exercise form that makes gym anxiety worse

-The simple workout plan that works + helps you walk into the gym knowing exactly what to do, so your brain can relax.

-How to stop worrying about what other people think, without forcing fake confidence or pushing yourself too fast.
