Summary

In this episode of Literally, Not OK, I sit down with my personal trainer James Baldwin—owner of Switch Fitness in Dallas and my Aries twin—to talk all things mental health, marriage meltdowns, sweat wraps (trash), and why cardio is NOT the magic fix we all think it is.

We cover boob jobs, Barry’s Bootcamp drama, and the emotional journey of finding your fit fam. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or just feel better mentally, this one’s for YOU.

Plus, James spills the tea on cheat meals, motivation, and why being uncomfortable is actually the key to growth.
