Fit & Sanity is a fitness and mindset podcast for people who are done chasing perfection. Hosted by Taylor, the show breaks down how to build real strength — in the gym, in your habits, and in your everyday mindset. Joined regularly by co-host Sheri and contributor Vinny, each episode blends fitness motivation, mental health, and practical self-improvement strategies you can actually use.
No fitness-influencer fluff, no unrealistic transformations — just honest conversations about discipline, consistency, and showing up for yourself.
Whether you're building a workout routine, working on healthy habits, or trying to balance mental health with physical wellbeing, Fit & Sanity helps you:
Get motivated without the burnout
Build discipline that outlasts motivation
Balance mental health and physical fitness
Stay consistent even when life gets chaotic
This isn't about chasing perfection. It's about progress — one workout, one meal, one mindset shift at a time.
Stay Fit. Stay Focused. Stay Sane.
Comedian Charles Brooks Jr. joins Tay the Great for a conversation that goes beyond the stage and the punchlines. Charles shares his early journey into comedy, the challenges behind making people laugh, his upcoming shows and what keeps him motivated as an entertainer.
He also talks about filming Coach Mike, a biopic centered on a legendary middle-school coach from Washington, D.C., and the return of his podcast, Comedians Interviewing Comedians and Ish.
This episode explores comedy, creativity, purpose, discipline and the person behind the performer. Because sometimes the funniest people carry the deepest stories—and there is always more behind the punchline.
Follow the Fit & Sanity Podcast for more real conversations about fitness, mental health and personal growth.
Stay fit. Stay focused. Stay sane.

Episode 40: After the Fight — Learning to Live Again
In Episode 2, Feraud shared what it was like supporting his wife through breast cancer. Now, Frankie joins the Fit & Sanity Podcast to tell the story from her perspective.
Frankie opens up about the physical and emotional realities of cancer, the strength it took to keep fighting, and the complicated process of learning how to live again after treatment. She and Feraud also discuss how the journey affected their marriage, family, mental health, and appreciation for everyday life.
Now cancer-free and returning to the gym, Frankie is rebuilding more than her physical strength. She is setting new goals, reconnecting with herself, and discovering that survival is not the end of the story—it is the beginning of a new chapter.
This special Episode 40 is an honest conversation about recovery, marriage, fitness, faith, family support, and finding hope after the fight.

Check On Your Strong Friends | Mental Health & Suicide Prevention
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, but checking on the people we love shouldn’t stop when the month ends.
On Episode 39 of the Fit & Sanity Podcast, Tay the Great sits down with his client Jazz for an honest conversation about mental health, grief, fitness, difficult seasons, and the importance of having people you can lean on when life gets heavy.
Sometimes the person who seems the strongest is carrying more than anyone realizes.
The friend who always makes everyone laugh. The parent who keeps everything moving. The person who never misses work. The one who keeps showing up at the gym. The friend who always says, “I’m good.”
But are they really?
Tay and Jazz talk about what happens when life gets heavy, whether we tend to talk about our struggles or keep them inside, dealing with grief, the difference between listening and trying to “fix” someone, and how fitness can provide an outlet during stressful seasons.
They also discuss why simply showing up for someone can matter more than finding the perfect thing to say.
Plus, Jazz takes on Fit & Sanity Rapid Fire, the Fire Question, the Golden Rep, and this week's Fit & Sanity Check-In Challenge.
❤️ THE CHECK-IN CHALLENGE
Before today ends, contact one person you care about.
Don't just ask:
“What's up?”
Ask:
“How are you REALLY doing?”
Then give them something increasingly rare:
Your full attention.
Because sometimes people don't need us to solve their problems.
They just need to know they don't have to carry them alone.
