Episode Synopsis

What if “I’ll start next week” is the quiet lie draining your energy today?Ash opens up about his looming XCC challenge in the Welsh hills — no phone, ration packs, a tent, and a tangle of nerves — as we unpack why fitness, health, and self-care so often get pushed to the bottom of the list.It’s a candid, funny, and grounded chat about anxiety, procrastination, preparation, and why picking movement you actually enjoy beats forcing yourself into a gym you’ll only resent.We swap punishment for practicality: boxing over treadmills, golf as therapy, and the power of a simple 20-minute walk to reset your head better than another doom scroll.Tom’s message about long hours, family life, and fitness drift becomes everyone’s question — is it really about time, or priorities? We talk small, non-negotiable habits, lowering the barrier to starting, and setting boundaries that protect your people by protecting your bandwidth first.HighlightsWhy fear and anxiety can fuel growthThe truth behind “I’ll start next week”Fitness vs. family — balancing guilt and prioritiesWhy mates, laughter, and a change of scenery matterHow mental health leads, and physical health followsThere’s even a bit of kit chat — boots over bravado, pack like future-you matters, and always expect the forecast to change.Choosing yourself isn’t selfish; it’s maintenance. If you’re juggling bills, school runs, late nights, and a body that needs a nudge, this one’s your green light to start small — today.📞 Share your story or dilemma: 07511 272 459 📲 Follow us: @untoldpodcast.official 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday, 5AMSend us a text
