The Identity Paradox

You’re allowed to be more than what you’ve confined yourself to.

In this video, I explore something that hits close to home - how easily fitness can shift from self-improvement to image maintenance.

We start with pure intentions - health, confidence, progress - but external validation creeps in quietly. I break down The Identity Paradox - when your identity becomes tied to your physique, your following, or your image… and what that does to your head.

We talk about "The Validation Drift" - that moment you realise you're training more for likes than for life. I dive into what happens when you're not at your peak - when you're injured, off-season, or burnt out, and you start asking, who am I without this?

There's a part about reclaiming yourself - using what you’ve learned in the gym and applying it to something new. Something outside the weight room.

It’s not anti-fitness. It’s pro-growth.

You’re allowed to be more than what you've confined yourself too.

If you’ve ever felt lost without training, this one’s for you.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Buddie.
