Growth Now Movement with Justin Schenck
Description
What if changing your entire life started with something as simple as buying an apple and walking to the mailbox?
In this episode of The Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Lisa Humphrey, life, fitness, nutrition, and mindset coach, fitness studio owner, and someone who knows firsthand what it takes to completely transform your life.
Lisa's journey started with a wake-up call that nobody wants to hear. A doctor told her she would be dead within six months if she didn't make a serious change.
But instead of trying to change everything overnight, Lisa started small.
She bought apples. She started walking to her neighbor's mailbox. Then she gradually increased the distance. One small decision turned into another, and through consistent action, learning about nutrition, and completely shifting her mindset, Lisa lost 30 pounds in 30 days and eventually 200 pounds overall.
But this conversation isn't just about weight loss.
We talk about the mindset required to make lasting change, why finding a strong enough "why" matters, and how motivation often comes AFTER you take action rather than before it.
Lisa shares why she believes momentum is more powerful than motivation, how shame can keep people stuck, and why taking one more step each day can create a completely different future.
Today, Lisa owns a brick-and-mortar fitness studio in Michigan that offers 55 classes every week. She's taken the lessons from her own transformation and turned them into a mission to help other people create healthier lives through fitness, nutrition, mindset, and community.
We also talk about the importance of having people around you who support your growth, why group coaching can be so powerful, and how the right environment can help you keep showing up when things get difficult.
Lisa shares what's next for her, including writing a solo book, potentially launching a podcast, and exploring a nonprofit to support young girls struggling with body dysmorphia.
This is a conversation about transformation, resilience, health, self-belief, and proving to yourself that you are capable of more than you think.
If you've been waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect plan, or the motivation to finally make a change, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to figure it all out today. You just have to take the next step.
