Summary
Welcome to the very first episode of The Excellence Edit, a new series on EMBody Radio where we sit down with high performers who embody what it means to lead with power, precision, and personal integrity.
Today’s guest? None other than Sue Bush: CEO, COO, and CFO of Physique Development, powerhouse fitness coach, and one of my closest friends and biggest inspirations.
In this candid conversation, we unpack what it really means to pursue personal excellence, not as a vague ideal, but as a lived, daily standard. Expect fire quotes, no fluff, and the kind of clarity that’ll call you forward.
We cover:
- Why excellence isn’t perfection, and how grace keeps you in the game longer
- How to structure your life when you don’t “feel like it”
- ADHD, time blindness, and removing friction for high performance
- Beauty, aesthetics, and how self-presentation reinforces self-respect
- Money, mission, and why more women should want to be wealthy
- The unsexy truth about consistency, boredom, and doing the reps
- Why your perfectionism is stalling your progress, and how to scale habits back without quitting
- Leadership, resentment, and the real cost of people-pleasing as a female founder
If you’ve ever struggled with self-trust, overthinking, inconsistency, or the fear of being “too much,” this episode is going to hit home in the best way.
