More Than Muscle

In this powerful episode, I sit down with my client Rick to break down his unbelievable journey from rock bottom to redemption. Rick opens up about his past, including going to prison, hitting the lowest point of his life, and how he rebuilt himself into the man he is today. Now a pastor, leader, and newly published author proving that no matter how hard your past is, your future is still in your control.
This conversation goes deeper than surface level motivation. We talk about self leadership, personal growth, and why discipline can’t be faked. Rick shares how he struggled for years with nutrition and health, only to realize that food wasn’t the real problem it was a reflection of deeper wounds, unresolved trauma, and parts of himself that needed healing.
We break down:
How hitting rock bottom can become the foundation for real change
Why discipline always exposes who you really are
The connection between nutrition, mindset, and emotional healing
Why surface level fixes never work if the root problem isn’t addressed
How anyone can rise up, regardless of their past or circumstances

If you’ve ever felt stuck, broken, or like your past disqualifies you from a better life, this episode will challenge everything you believe. Rick’s story is proof that growth is possible, change is earned, and self leadership is built one decision at a time.

By January 15, 95% of people have already quit their New Year’s resolutions and this episode breaks down exactly why.In this podcast, I talk about what you should have done by now if you were serious about your goals, and why motivation isn’t the problem comfort is. Most people think they can do it on their own, but if that were true, they’d already have results to show for it. Your body, your habits, and your current reality don’t lie.I dive into why people believe they can “get away” with bad habits, why discipline always exposes the truth, and how your body is a direct reflection of your daily choices. If nothing has changed yet, it’s not bad luck it’s patterns you refuse to break.This episode also reframes failure: failing isn’t trying and missing failing is not trying at all. The moment you let fear stop you from taking action, you’ve already lost. Comfort keeps you stuck. Fear keeps you frozen. And until you break that cycle, nothing changes.If you’re serious about:Sticking to your New Year’s resolutionsBuilding discipline that actually lastsBreaking bad habits for goodStop starting over every yearCreating real physical and mental changeThis episode is the wake-up call you need.If this hits home, make sure to like, subscribe, and share and stay locked in for more episodes on discipline, mindset, training, nutrition, and real personal growth.Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/snezv/TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@snez.vFacebook: / https://www.facebook.com/Snez10/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/snez-veljanovska-746190146Website: http://www.snezv.com

In this episode, I break down the 3 key elements you must master to take control of your health: training, nutrition, and mindset. Most people struggle not because they lack motivation, but because they’re missing clarity around these fundamentals.
I dive deep into workout mechanics and why how you train matters more than just showing up. Poor movement patterns, chasing intensity, and copying random workouts are holding people back from real progress. I explain what actually drives results in the gym and how to train with purpose.On the nutrition side, I clear up common cortisol myths, explain why cortisol itself isn’t the enemy, and how stress, under-eating, and poor recovery truly impact your body. I also break down the difference between good carbs vs bad carbs, when carbs help your metabolism, and why cutting them blindly often backfires.
I also talk about the mental side of the journey, what to do when motivation drops, when results slow down, and when you feel like quitting. I explain how to stay consistent during the hard phases and why discipline and systems matter more than motivation.
If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, confused by fitness misinformation, or stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset, this episode will help you simplify the process and focus on what actually works.Instagram: / Instagram:   / ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/snezv/⁠⁠

This New Year’s Day podcast is a real conversation about goal setting, discipline, and personal responsibility, not motivation that fades in a week.
In this episode, I break down how to set meaningful goals, how to stick to them when it gets hard, and why waiting for your life to change is the fastest way to stay stuck. Real change doesn’t happen because the calendar flipped, it happens when you decide to take action and become the person your goals require.
We talk about the difference between wanting a new life and earning it through daily discipline, how your identity must change before your results do, and why most people fail their goals long before they quit on paper. I also address something no one talks about during the New Year: how friends, family, and your environment may resist your growth, try to keep you comfortable, and pull you back into old patterns and how to stay strong anyway.
This episode is also a practical guide for hard days the days when motivation is gone, discipline is tested, and quitting feels easier than showing up. If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent, felt unsupported in your goals, or kept restarting every January, this episode is for you.

As the year comes to a close and the new year approaches, this episode is a reminder of what actually creates change.
In this Christmas and New Year special, I break down what discipline really means and why it’s not about motivation, extremes, or waiting for the “right time.”
Real results are built through small daily disciplines, repeated consistently, especially when no one is watching.
We talk about the importance of reflecting on the past year with honesty, taking ownership of who you’ve become, and understanding how your personality shapes your personal reality or how your reality has shaped your personality.
If you don’t consciously build yourself, your environment will do it for you.
This episode also addresses the victim mentality that shows up for many people around the holidays and the new year: blaming circumstances, the past year, other people, or timing.
I explain how to break that pattern, stop letting your environment control your mindset, and step into the new year with intention, structure, and self respect.
If you’re serious about growth in the new year mentally, physically, and personally this episode will give you clarity on where to start and how to stay consistent long after motivation fades.
