#84 - My Friends Say I'm Obsessed With My Health + No Time in September
<p>Your friends say you've become obsessed since you started taking your health seriously. Are they right? And what do you do when September hits and you have no time between work and the kids' schedules?</p><p><br /></p><p>We break down what "obsessed" really means, why consistency can make the people around you uncomfortable, and how to honestly check whether there's any truth to it. We cover a simple self-assessment for whether what you're doing is sustainable, how to respond when someone calls you obsessed, and why the decisions you make in your 40s shape the quality of your life in your 70s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, we get into the September squeeze. We share how to adjust the levers instead of going all or nothing, why one full-body workout every three to five days still adds up, and a realistic plan for workouts, meal prep, steps, and me time when life is chaotic.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Find out more about coaching with us here: </strong><a href="rosentrain.com/coaching" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>rosentrain.com/coaching</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p>Follow Daniel on Instagram: <a href="instagram.com/rosentrain/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/rosentrain/</a></p><p>Follow Santo on Instagram: <a href="instagram.com/santo.chiappetta/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/santo.chiappetta/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Santo's podcast: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0j5QaIeN86dg8nnLfum7d5?si=IA7EJxGrTB-LCheO5FCFww" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/episode/0j5QaIeN86dg8nnLfum7d5?si=IA7EJxGrTB-LCheO5FCFww</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><p>00:00 Question 1: My friends think I'm obsessed</p><p>00:55 What "obsessed" actually means</p><p>01:29 Why friends call it obsession</p><p>04:02 Is there any truth to it?</p><p>05:25 Devotion vs. martyrdom: putting kids first without neglecting yourself</p><p>08:29 Do you want their life?</p><p>10:52 What real obsession looks like</p><p>13:41 Outgrowing friends and finding your people</p><p>17:09 Self-assessment: is it sustainable?</p><p>18:07 How to respond when someone says you're obsessed</p><p>20:15 Your why: investing in your health now</p><p>23:21 Strength that carries over into real life</p><p>27:12 Question 2: No time for myself in September</p><p>28:38 Seasons of life and adjusting the levers</p><p>31:01 One full
