The Bench Session

I Thought I’d Be Further By Now

Season 2 — Episode 9 I Thought I’d Be Further By Now At some point, we’ve all had this thought… “I should be further along by now.” In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to be putting in the work—showing up, staying consistent, making the right choices—and still feeling like progress is slower than expected. From the mental battle to the frustration with the scale, this is a real conversation about the part of the journey nobody really talks about. The phase where you’re doing everything right… and it still feels like you’re behind. Sometimes progress doesn’t look the way we expect it to. That doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Looking Back: My Life and The Bench Session

Season 2 — Episode 8 Looking Back: My Life and The Bench Session In this episode, I take a step back and talk about the journey that led me here. From life experiences to the lessons that shaped the way I see the world, this is a more personal session about where I’ve been, what I’ve learned. Sometimes it’s important to pause, look back, and understand the road that brought you here. This episode is one of those moments.

Stop Chasing Happiness. Find Peace Instead.

Season 2 — Episode 7 Stop Chasing Happiness. Find Peace Instead. We spend so much time chasing happiness… but nobody really talks about what comes with it. In this episode, we break down why happiness was never meant to last, how every high comes with a low, and why constantly chasing that feeling can leave you stuck in a cycle. We also get into something real— how loving someone can be the best thing in your life… and also the hardest. Because no matter how it plays out, love always comes with the risk of loss. So maybe the goal isn’t to be happy all the time. Maybe the goal is to find peace in the middle of it all.

Nobody Knows What They’re Doing

Season 2, Episode 6 — Nobody Knows What They’re Doing When we’re kids, we believe the adults around us have life completely figured out. But as we grow older, we start to realize something surprising: most people are simply learning as they go. In this episode, I talk about the moment that illusion breaks, how adulthood really works, and why realizing that nobody has all the answers can actually be freeing.

Your Body Is Not Your Enemy

Season 2, Episode 5 — Your Body Is Not Your Enemy Body dysmorphia affects far more people than most realize. It’s not just teenagers or women — it can affect athletes, lifters, and people who look completely fit to everyone else. In this episode, I talk about the pressure people feel when looking in the mirror, the constant pursuit of improvement, and how chasing perfection can turn progress into dissatisfaction.
