Born This Weigh
Exercise Anxiety, Comparison Traps & Mindset Shifts (with David Terrell)
🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!
We’re Kari and Lisa — two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to love ourselves in a world that never missed a chance to body-shame us.
It's a milestone week for the pod! We have our very first guest.
We'll chat with fitness coach David Terrell @personaltranscend aka (The Biebs) all about:
🏃♀️ Exercise Anxiety — why just moving can feel so loaded, how “fit-guy energy” messes with our heads, and what happens when your brain still thinks you don’t belong in motion.
🧠 Comparison Traps — envy vs. jealousy, scrolling yourself into shame, and the mental gymnastics of watching everyone else’s highlight reel while you’re still lacing up.
⚡ Mindset Shifts — what “out of the pocket” really means, how to get back when you slip, and why perfection is the least interesting part of progress.
If you’ve ever overthought a workout, compared yourself into paralysis, or wondered why the mental part of fitness is harder than the physical — this one’s for you.
