Diego de Arístegui’s Post

In the latest episode of the "Building Belief" podcast, I sit down with the amazing Heidi Powell, a fitness expert and transformation specialist, best known for co-hosting "Extreme Weight Loss." Heidi’s journey is about much more than physical transformation—it's about the deep, essential work of self-love. Heidi's message of self-love arrived in my life when I needed it most, and it has since reshaped my perspective. We talk about the crucial difference between self-care and self-love, and how nurturing self-love isn’t selfish—it’s foundational to our well-being and the relationships we build with others. We also explore the powerful connection between mind, body, and soul. Heidi shares her experiences and practices for holistic wellness, from movement to somatic experiencing, emphasizing that how we care for our bodies directly impacts our mental and emotional health. This conversation is rich with insights on how self-love and belief in ourselves are not just nice-to-haves, but essential for leading a fulfilled life. Tune in to be inspired by Heidi’s wisdom and discover practical ways to nurture your own journey of self-love. https://lnkd.in/g47Z6vGG #BuildingBelief #SelfLove #MindBodyConnection #Podcast #HeidiPowell #Wellness #Empowerment

Comparison will kill your fitness gains! When I first started to lift weights, I couldn’t find a video of an influencer teaching me how to lift with their top on 🤯 They had unrealistic body images and most took/take steroids to achieve it. Fitness became less about health and more about comparison, stemming from insecurity. It’s easy to find a trainer who will train you physically and there is nothing wrong with wanting to look 10/10 💪 But, whats the cost? Can’t you train in a balanced way? In episode 2 of my podcast coming out in 2-weeks, I talk about how proximity is power! What information you consume, the people you hang around and your business network can do for you or how it can disrupt you. Fitness is much more than a physical endeavour 🤔 It is about community, connection, mental health, pain prevention, looking and feeling younger.

If you’ve ever watched a child explore their world, you’ll notice how they move and play with natural energy, joy, and effortlessness. As a father of three, I've had the privilege of witnessing this miracle up close. I've seen my kids taste ice cream for the first time, their faces lighting up with pure delight. I've watched them breathe effortlessly into their bellies as they sleep, looking like little angels. I've observed how they bounce back from falls and scrapes with remarkable resilience. This, my friends, is what peak health looks like. It's not just the absence of illness– it's a state of vibrant wellbeing that most of us have forgotten is possible. But here's the thing: We don't have to accept the slow decline that often comes with adulthood. That "normal" state of fatigue, brain fog, and chronic aches? It's not inevitable. It's not "just getting older." Through my work at Stark over the past 15 years, I've discovered that health isn't a goal to be reached. It's a skill to be developed. And with the right approach, we can reclaim that childlike vitality–regardless of our age or current condition. Imagine moving through your day with the energy and enthusiasm of a 5-year-old. Picture yourself bouncing back from stress and illness with the resilience of a teenager. It's not just possible… It's what your body is designed for. ________ 💪Want to learn data-backed strategies for shaping your health? 💪 Check out my podcast “Health is a Skill”, out every Thursday:  Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/d2dxNRQC Spotify: https://lnkd.in/d6B9wq4p

🎙️EP11: Solitude + Connection = Mental Fitness with Jimi Hunt Catch the latest Wellbeing Provocateur Podcast episode where I chatted to Jimi Hunt about Solitude & Connection as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. When I asked Jimi how he was he said: “If I look at my monthly average position on the Mental Fitness Continuum, I would be in what I call contentment, which is the 80 to 100 range. The reason that I'm in that range is that for the last 13 years, I've worked every day on my mental fitness to get closer to the term that I call unfuckwithable". “Unfuckwithable” - what an epic term and aspirational mental fitness goal 🧡 And this is what sets Jimi apart, being authentically himself. And he believes being authentic is the only way to communicate and connect with people deeply. In this special MHAW edition, we chatted about: 🛟 Navigating big life transitions 🚬 Loneliness is the new smoking 👯 Connection - the hidden mental fitness powerhouse 🤳 Digital vs real life connection 🫂 Connection with self, land and each other 🔇 Embracing solitude 👟 Jimi’s insights from walking Te Araroa 💡 Ideas and inspiration to build community and feel more connected ▶️ LISTEN NOW ON SPOTIFY https://lnkd.in/gJvVH989 ▶️ LISTEN NOW ON APPLE PODCASTS https://lnkd.in/gfRmpz4M #mentalfitness #connection #solitude #podcast #wellbeingprovocateur #wellbeingfirst #wellbeingtick

Last week was my most difficult since starting TwelveTwentyFive almost 12 months ago. For this first time in my career I took an entire week off unplanned due to illness, nothing too serious but unable to work. It meant pushing long awaited meetings back, moving deadlines with clients and missing out on Building Podcast's first road trip. Thankfully Brendan Gilbert and Mathew Stuckey were on hand to cover while I wallowed in self-pity. One of the things that got pushed out was our promotion of one of our latest podcast episodes with Camilla Rogers the founder of fifty50. The episode is focused on how to be a high-performing founder and why it's so important to take care of your mental fitness as a business owner. In the episode we cover: - Why mental health fitness is so important for business owners  - How to maintain high performance as a business owner - The critical question you should ask yourself before starting a business. Since starting TwelveTwentyFive I've taken little to no time off or really switched of at all from the business. In the last couple of weeks I'd noticed a few mistakes creep in to my day to day and noticed the feeling of fatigue. Likely the reason I was so unwell last week. This is a great episode. You can listen/watch in all the regular places.
