The Pride of Coming Out & Prize of Coming Home

In this episode, I vulnerably share my 10 stage journey of coming out, from suppression to pride —growing up in a religious environment that condemned homosexuality, to eventually being at home in who I am.  What makes this episode essential? It maps this coming out process directly to health & transformation. Key insights: -Why traditional fitness fails without addressing core beliefs about worthiness -The 10 transformative stages of identity integration that translate into health & fitness -How authentic self-acceptance & not shame drives lasting change -How change is a process that takes time & not an overnight overhaul True health isn't fitting predetermined templates; it's becoming more unapologetically yourself. The 4h Method is built on this philosophy of becoming more of yourself to enjoy your greatest health. This episode reframes Pride Month beyond celebration & into alignment. It's about the freedom that comes from stopping the internal fight to be who you already are. Come make your body your home & your health your hero journey for a lifetime in The 4h Method.  NOTE: For the month of June, 10% of all business revenue will go directly to The Trevor Project, a non-profit supporting LGBTQ+ youth.  📧 Email me michelle@mlrosko.com. ➕ Follow me on Instagram: @michellelynnrosko [https://www.instagram.com/michellelynnrosko] 🤗 Come into my online home: mlrosko.com [https://mlrosko.com/] ⃝ Make your body your home & your health your hero journey in The 4H Method: go.mlrosko.com/the4hmethod [https://go.mlrosko.com/the4hmethod] 👋 Get your FREE Goodbye Diets guide [http://go.mlrosko.com/goodbyediets]: go.mlrosko.com/goodbyediets 🙌 Get your FREE Enjoy Exercise guide [https://go.mlrosko.com/findjoyinexercise]: go.mlrosko.com/findjoyinexercise 🌗 Do the 24 Hour Health Reset [https://go.mlrosko.com/24hour]: go.mlrosko.com/24hour 💫 Join the 30 Day Radical Renewal [https://go.mlrosko.com/30radicalrenewal]: go.mlrosko.com/30radicalrenewal

A Love for Running A Treasure Trove of the Best Tips from My Friends

I was running through the streets of Woodstock, Illinois, pacing along with my Spotify liked songs playlist, the spring sun shining on me.  I thought of running advice I could give you here, based on what I’ve learned from experience. & then it popped into my head: I have sooo many friends who are, like, really good at this running thing, & I should ask them for their insight!  & so I did. I reached out to some friends, most of them from an outdoor exercise group I’ve been attending since 2023, & asked if they’d share their running experience, some running tips, & what they love about running. & thus this episode was born! Warning! listening to this episode might make you want to put on some running shoes & start... running :) Special shoutout to November Project, a special outdoor workout community that makes movement fun & connected –& in my opinion, the best place to be in Madison at 6:28 am on Friday mornings.  My kind friends’ IG handles are included if you’d like to follow them for more inspo: McCaleb: https://www.instagram.com/eifert_mccaleb/ [https://www.instagram.com/eifert_mccaleb/] Bret: https://www.instagram.com/bthagen/ [https://www.instagram.com/bthagen/] Brian: https://www.instagram.com/briankosterchocolates/ [https://www.instagram.com/briankosterchocolates/] Olivia: https://www.instagram.com/obarrow/ [https://www.instagram.com/obarrow/] Kat: https://www.instagram.com/katjones3/ [https://www.instagram.com/katjones3/] Amanda: https://www.instagram.com/aahart92/ [https://www.instagram.com/aahart92/] November Project Madison: https://www.instagram.com/novemberprojectmadison/ [https://www.instagram.com/novemberprojectmadison/] Thank you all so much for your contributions to this episode! 📧 Email me michelle@mlrosko.com. ➕ Follow me on Instagram: @michellelynnrosko [https://www.instagram.com/michellelynnrosko] 🤗 Come into my online home: mlrosko.com [https://mlrosko.com/] ⃝ Make your body your home & your health your hero journey in The 4H Method: go.mlrosko.com/the4hmethod [https://go.mlrosko.com/the4hmethod] 👋 Get your FREE Goodbye Diets guide [http://go.mlrosko.com/goodbyediets]: go.mlrosko.com/goodbyediets 🙌 Get your FREE Enjoy Exercise guide [https://go.mlrosko.com/findjoyinexercise]: go.mlrosko.com/findjoyinexercise 🌗 Do the 24 Hour Health Reset [https://go.mlrosko.com/24hour]: go.mlrosko.com/24hour 💫 Join the 30 Day Radical Renewal [https://go.mlrosko.com/30radicalrenewal]: go.mlrosko.com/30radicalrenewal
