What would it look like to pay yourself first when it comes to your health?
In this episode, we explore how the Profit First principle—typically used in business—can be a powerful tool to help you shift how you think about your time, energy, and well-being. Instead of letting health be what’s leftover, we talk about putting it first—so you can show up stronger in all areas of life.
We share personal insights, practical examples, and actionable strategies to help you prioritize what matters most—sleep, training, nutrition, and recovery—even in a busy life full of obligations. From blocking off time in your calendar to conducting a “time profit audit,” you’ll walk away with tools to create more balance, consistency, and sustainability in your health journey.
We also dive into:
- Why so many of us struggle to prioritize ourselves—and how to change that
- The importance of boundaries, saying no, and asking for help
- How consistency beats intensity for long-term health and performance
- Ways to build a support system that lifts you up
- Why recovery isn’t a luxury—it’s essential
This is your reminder that your health isn’t selfish—it’s foundational. And it doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Let’s reframe the way we show up for ourselves—one small choice at a time!
