Johanna opens up about going through a difficult season where she was facing serious postpartum depression, separation and divorce, and feeling like she was at the heaviest and weakest point of her life. She shares how hard it was to simply get out of bed, make it through the day, and begin taking care of herself again.

This conversation is about more than fitness.

It is about rebuilding confidence, learning not to put so much pressure on yourself, and understanding that real progress does not have to start perfectly. Sometimes the hardest part is not the workout, the nutrition, or the routine — it is deciding that you are worth showing up for.

In this episode, we cover:

Johanna’s story as a mom, former client, and coach
Her experience with postpartum depression
Going through separation, divorce, and personal struggle
What it feels like to be at your heaviest and weakest point
Why showing up for yourself can be the hardest part
How too much pressure can lead to burnout and giving up
The importance of starting small and staying consistent
Health advice for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck
How personal transformation can lead to helping others

Whether you are a parent, someone rebuilding after a hard season, or someone who feels like they have lost themselves, this episode is a reminder that your health journey does not have to start with perfection.

It just has to start.

Will shares stories from the mat, including a brutal overtime moment where he could barely stand, refused to quit, and found a way to keep fighting. From painful lessons in competition to coaching fighters who have reached the top levels of bare-knuckle fighting, this episode goes deep into the mindset required to push through pressure.

But this conversation is not just for fighters.

Will talks about how anyone can improve when they are coached as an individual. Whether someone is a beginner, a smaller athlete, a heavyweight, or someone starting from zero, the message is simple:

Get up and take one step.

If that is all you have, that is still where the change begins.

Will Grundhauser’s fight stories and lessons from the mat
The mindset behind refusing to quit
Why great coaching starts with training people as individuals
How confidence grows when you trust your coach and your corner
What fighters, beginners, and everyday people can learn from discipline
Why progress does not have to start big — it just has to start
Corey’s relationship with his coach and the impact of mentorship
How small steps can become major transformation

Whether you are into MMA, bare-knuckle fighting, fitness, coaching, or personal growth, this episode is a reminder that becoming strong starts with one decision: get up and take the next step.

Corey opens up about a season when he felt like he had lost everything — his family, his stability, and his sense of direction. In one of the lowest moments of his life, he asked God, “If you’re real, I need you now more than ever.”

That moment became a turning point.

In this episode, Corey shares how anxiety, self-medication, financial pressure, and being consumed by business began pulling him away from the people who mattered most. He talks about the moment he realized he was missing precious time with his daughters, how small challenges helped him rebuild strength, and why transformation is not just physical — it is mental, emotional, and spiritual.

This conversation is for anyone who has felt overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or afraid they are losing what matters most.

In this episode, we cover:

Corey’s lowest point and the moment he turned to God
How business pressure and anxiety affected his family life
The danger of self-medicating instead of facing the real problem
What helped Corey begin rebuilding his life
Why small challenges can create strength and discipline
The connection between faith, family, fitness, and transformation
How to recognize when success is costing you presence
Why getting healthy is about more than the body

This conversation is for anyone who feels drained, frustrated, or ready to quit because they are not seeing results. Corey and Rachel discuss why investing in yourself matters, how strength and recovery play a role in long-term health, and why you cannot fully show up for your family, kids, career, or community if you are running on empty.
