Why and how I started lifting heavy things, Part 2
Moving on from a personal trainer, joining a gym, and the mental heath benefits.
Hey, hi, hello!
First, some announcements:
My “Push Off from Here” October 18-20 retreat at Kripalu is open for registration. It sold out quickly last year, so don’t sleep on this one if you want to go.
If you need sobriety support—getting sober, staying sober, finding sober friends, or feeling good in sobriety—come join us at The Luckiest Club (7-day free trial). I lead a meeting every Tuesday morning at 8 a.m., but we have almost 60 other weekly meetings. It’s the place I wish existed when I was getting sober.
Over the next couple of months, I’ll be hosting a series of live conversations here about how I transitioned careers, built a platform, and became an author. I get asked these questions in bits and pieces, and I thought going deep in a few focused sessions would be helpful. This will be a conversation between me and a colleague in transition herself. This series will be for paid subscribers.
