Hi, I'm Travis (@travismurrells_ (https://www.instagram.com/travismurrells_/)), a health and mindset coach who teaches people to take back control of their health and life!
If you've been on the constant rollercoaster of crash diets where you lose weight, gain it all back, and never feel truly happy, this is the podcast for you.
I've helped over 1,000 people worldwide lose fat and build muscle, but most importantly, help heal their relationships with food, the scales, their body, and their mind so they can finally escape toxic diet culture and live a stress-free, healthy life.
This podcast is an in-depth behind-the-scenes look into my coaching calls, perspective shifts that enable clients to break through, how to lose weight and keep it off, and so much more...

#190 - How to overcome all-or-nothing & constant overwhelm
I spoke to 3 people last week about 1:1 coaching. Different situations, same problem underneath it all: they already knew what to do, so why can't they stick to it?
The issue was the moment something went wrong or stopped working, there was no one to ask.
That's when the spiral starts. Sifting through a million pieces of contradicting social media advice, trying to figure out "what's actually going to work?" That cognitive load is exhausting, and it's exactly what tips you from doing fine into crash-and-burn.
This episode is about why "all or nothing" isn't a willpower issue; it's an overwhelm issue. And why having one person to bounce things off can lift more off your chest than any program ever will.
Dive in and listen to exactly how I help my clients beat overwhelm and move away from the all-or-nothing mentality.

#189 - When there's no numbers to track, how do you know it's working?
You can be doing everything right and still feel like it's not working. This episode is about the intangible stuff (habits, mindset, the shit you can't put a number on) and how to actually know if it's working.
A Simply Happy & Healthy client asked me a question I didn't have a clear answer for: "How do I know this is even working?"
And I completely knew where she was coming from because I've felt the same... So I spent this whole episode trying to answer it. Properly, not just "trust the process."
We get into why logic alone won't fix a habit problem, why "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it" is an emotional issue disguised as a logical issue, and the exact way I get clients, and myself, to find real evidence when there's no spreadsheet to point to.
If you've ever felt "pretty good" about your progress but couldn't actually prove it to yourself... this one's for you.

#188 - Why am I more tired than ever, working 20 less hours per week?
I used to do 75-hour weeks as a personal trainer and felt fine. Now I work around 50-odd hours per week, and I'm mentally cooked by Wednesday night. My psych explained why, and it cracked open something bigger, including why Simply Happy & Healthy is actually named after a sentence a client said to me years ago, not a marketing meeting. Bit of an identity crisis in here, not gonna lie.
