Yes—the name changed. And if it stirred something inside you, then this episode is for you.
In this kickoff episode, Chris Terrell speaks directly to the resistance that many people feel around the word thin, and why that resistance is often the very thing holding them back from finally becoming who they’re meant to be.
He shares his personal story—from the death of his father, to leaving his religion, to finally admitting to himself that he wanted to become thin. Not someone else’s version—his own.
You’ll also learn:
• Why the word thin is a mirror, not a weapon
• What it means to confront the beliefs keeping you stuck
• Why resistance often dresses up as virtue
• And how to shift your identity through the Core Four goals: Thin, Healthy, Happy, and In Shape
This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a reckoning.
And it’s for those ready to redefine what’s possible.
