Episode Description
In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about owning your part in the situations you face and what it really means to take responsibility for your life. This is not about blaming yourself for everything or ignoring the reality that some things are outside of your control. It is about recognizing where you do have agency, where you can make changes, and how shifting from pointing fingers to pointing the thumb creates a more empowered and grounded way to move forward.
I share why looking honestly at your role in relationships, work, health, and personal growth requires awareness, nuance, and self reflection. We explore how focusing on what is within your control reduces helplessness, builds confidence, and opens the door to meaningful change, even when circumstances are not ideal. I also talk about the value of therapy in uncovering blind spots, and how self paced practices like fitness, journaling, and daily structure can support an inside/out approach to growth.
This episode is about choosing responsibility without shame, optimism without denial, and action without waiting for perfect conditions. It is an invitation to reconnect with yourself, believe in your ability to change, and keep moving forward one step at a time.

In this episode, I talk directly to anyone who identifies as a people pleaser or someone who routinely puts the needs of others ahead of their own. Helping others is not the problem. The problem is when helping turns into losing your voice, your wants, and eventually your sense of self.
I break down how this happens slowly and quietly, why it is understandable, and why it still matters that you protect who you are. As we move into a new year, this is a reminder to be kind and compassionate with yourself while also recommitting to advocating for your own needs. You do not have to choose between caring for others and caring for yourself. You can do both, intentionally and without losing yourself in the process.
This episode reinforces the inside/out approach to personal growth, consistency, and self respect, where your worth is not tied to how much you sacrifice, but to how well you stay connected to yourself.

Episode Description
If you are trying to change your life, your habits, or the direction you are heading, there will be people who do not understand you. That does not mean you are wrong. It does not mean you need to justify yourself. It simply means you are in a different place than they are.
In this episode, I talk about the idea that explaining yourself is a choice. Letting someone into your thinking, your goals, and your process is a privilege, not an obligation. Not everyone needs access to that part of you, and not everyone is meant to understand what you are building right now.
We also talk about how easy it is to waste energy trying to convince people who are not ready or willing to see things differently. Growth often creates distance, and that distance is not a failure. It is a signal that you are moving forward.
This episode connects directly to the inside/out approach I use for health, fitness, mindset, and life. When you stop over explaining yourself and start trusting your direction, everything gets quieter and clearer.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about imposter syndrome and why it shows up the moment you start something new or return after time away. That awkward anxious feeling does not mean you do not belong or that you are failing. It means you are learning, adjusting, and figuring things out in real time.
I break down how the feeling never really goes away and why the difference is how you interpret it. Instead of seeing it as proof that you are not capable, you can learn to see it as information. You are doing something new. You are gaining clarity. You are building trust with yourself one step at a time.
We also talk about plans changing and why adjusting does not mean you failed. It means you are paying attention. Whether this shows up in health and fitness, a career shift, a new habit, or something personal, the goal is not to get it perfect. The goal is to keep showing up, making decisions, and learning from them.
You are not an imposter. You are in process. And you are going to figure this out.

Episode Description
In this episode, I talk about plans, the comfort we get from knowing what is supposed to happen, and why flexibility matters more than most people want to admit. Having a plan is important, but life rarely moves in a straight line from point A to point B, and the route or even the destination often changes along the way. When we look back five years, most of us realize our lives did not unfold the way we imagined, and that is not a failure, it is growth.
As we move into a new year full of goals and expectations, I encourage you to be clear and intentional with your plans while staying open to adjustment. Curveballs, setbacks, and unexpected opportunities are part of the process, and you have already proven that you can navigate them. I also share why connecting with yourself and living from an inside/out place can quietly shift what you go after and how you define success, using fitness and health as a practical starting point that carries into every other area of life.

In this episode, I ask a simple but uncomfortable question. What are you avoiding? The thing you keep pushing aside, ignoring, or telling yourself you will deal with later is not neutral. It is quietly controlling your thoughts, your energy, and your decisions.
I talk about how avoidance lives in the background and why being connected to yourself makes it harder to ignore. When you can clearly see what you are avoiding, you get to choose how to handle it. You might decide to acknowledge it and leave it alone for now, or you might decide it is time to take action. Either way, awareness is the first real step.
This episode is not about forcing change or fixing everything at once. It is about naming what is already there so it stops living rent free in your head. Anything you choose to do after that is a bonus, because working through things takes time, and that is okay.

In this episode, I want to remind you that if your interests, goals, and ambitions make you feel different or misunderstood, that is not something you need to fix. So many people spend years trying to fit in, only to realize they were never meant to. Instead of changing who you are, this is an invitation to understand yourself more deeply and to lean into what actually lights you up.
As we move into a new year, a lot of people will try to become someone else. If you already know who you are but feel out of place, this is your reminder that the right people will eventually find you. Most people may not understand your drive or your perspective, and some may even push back against it, but the ones who matter will get it.
This episode is part of the inside/out approach I talk about often, shaped by my years in fitness, marketing, and my lived experience navigating the world with cerebral palsy. I share why embracing who you are, instead of hiding it, creates clarity, confidence, and alignment across fitness, work, and life.

Episode Description
In this episode, I kick off the new year by breaking down what actually drives long term success in fitness, weight loss, and life. Most people are sold outcomes, some are sold habits, but very few conversations go deeper into what is underneath those actions in the first place. That internal layer, your beliefs, your self image, your emotional and mental framework, is where everything either holds together or eventually falls apart .
I walk through the foundation of the work I teach, learning to love and appreciate the body you have and the person underneath it, developing real self confidence that comes from trusting yourself, and building consistency as a skill rather than chasing motivation. This is the inside/out approach to fitness and life, starting where you are, honoring your preferences, removing guilt and shame from food and movement, and creating a structure you can live with for decades, not weeks.
I also share personal context from my own journey with cerebral palsy, how adaptation, patience, and self respect have shaped the way I train, eat, and show up in the world. This episode is about moving away from insecurity driven marketing and pressure, and toward calm confidence, deliberate pace, and sustainable habits that support your quality of life long term.
If you are tired of restarting, forcing yourself into plans that do not fit, or feeling like something is missing even when you do everything right, this episode will help you understand what actually creates lasting change.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I build on yesterday’s conversation about perception and talk about why real change starts with a decision and then gets reinforced through action. Internal optimism, calmness, peace, and drive do not come from waiting until you feel confident. They start with choosing a direction and trusting yourself enough to take the next step.
I talk about why simply taking action in hopes that belief will magically show up often leads to imposter syndrome. Belief does not come after perfection. It is reinforced through consistent steps taken with intention. This applies to goals, careers, fitness, and the way we learn to live in our bodies.
I also explain why this matters so deeply in the fitness space, especially in an industry that has spent decades marketing against our insecurities. Living an inside/out life means choosing to appreciate the body you have while still working toward growth. It is a practice, not a destination, and one that I actively work on myself every day.
My hope with this episode is to remind you that you already have what you need inside you to make meaningful change. Support, structure, and reminders help reinforce that truth, but you are not missing something. You are learning to trust yourself again.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about the idea that you create your own reality through what you choose to see, believe, and reinforce in your daily life. This is not about ignoring problems or pretending everything is fine. Some things are heavy. Some things genuinely suck. But if you do not like what you are experiencing, there is a path forward, and it starts with taking ownership of your perception and your actions.
The world feels loud and overwhelming right now, and most of what we consume by default does not help us feel calmer, grounded, or steady. When we absorb what is considered average or normal without intention, anxiety and unease tend to follow. In this episode, I explain why taking responsibility for your life does not mean controlling everything. It means choosing a realistic and optimistic approach that allows you to navigate challenges without losing yourself in them.
I also share how reinforcing this mindset matters just as much as choosing it in the first place. That is where consistent structure, reflection, and daily reminders come in. Whether that looks like journaling, listening to past episodes, or getting support through the Your Level Fitness self paced resources, the goal is to build a calmer and more deliberate way of living over time.
If you are brand new to the podcast, welcome. If you have been listening for a while, I appreciate you more than you know. My hope with this episode is to remind you that positive change is possible, but it has to be chosen and practiced, especially when the world feels heavy.

Episode Description
In this episode, I talk about one of the most overlooked skills we can develop, learning from other people without needing to go through every hard lesson ourselves. We all learn through experience, but there are moments where observation can save us time, energy, and unnecessary struggle if we are willing to pay attention and reflect honestly.
I share why this kind of learning requires humility, curiosity, and perspective. We never have the full context of someone else’s situation, but we can still notice patterns, outcomes, and decisions that either move people closer to what they want or farther away from it. The goal is not judgment. The goal is awareness.
This conversation also moves into how we treat others when they are going through difficult seasons. If we are honest, most people are carrying something, even when it is not visible. I explain why leading with kindness, compassion, and grace matters just as much as being honest and direct. This applies to how we treat others and how we treat ourselves.
From there, I connect this idea to the inside/out approach I teach through fitness and beyond. Too many people have spent years tying their worth to their body, their progress, or how they look in the mirror. Real sustainability starts when you connect with yourself, respect your preferences, and build habits you can actually live with long term.
If you want to stop bumping your head into the same lessons, build awareness through observation, and create a calmer and more aligned way of living, this episode will give you plenty to reflect on.

In this episode, I talk about why you are never as good or as bad as you think you are, no matter what season you are in. Whether things feel amazing or feel like they are falling apart, the goal is to step back, regain perspective, and operate from a calm mind at a deliberate pace as often as you can.
I break down why this logical approach to life works, but also why it cannot ignore emotions. We are emotional beings, even when we wish we were not. The work is not to suppress emotions or pretend they do not exist, but to acknowledge them, feel them, and then place healthy boundaries around how much they get to define how you see yourself.
This conversation is about learning how to ride the waves without letting them carry you too far in either direction. It is about staying grounded when things are going well, and staying steady when things feel heavy. This perspective supports better decision making, clearer headspace, and a more sustainable inside/out approach to life, fitness, and personal growth.

In this episode, I walk through how what actually drives our actions matters more than any tactic, plan, or best practice you have been told to follow. Yes, this applies to fitness and weight loss, but it also extends into every other area of life. I talk about why so many people struggle to stay consistent even when they know exactly what to do, and why building something around what you enjoy and are willing to do is the real starting point for long term change.
I share why I stay away from prescribing rigid systems and instead focus on structures and frameworks that help you observe patterns, track trends, and make informed adjustments over time. This episode leans heavily into mindset, headspace, self trust, and confidence, because when those pieces are in place, the tactics finally stick. Weight loss, body composition changes, and external results become byproducts instead of constant pressure points.
This is also a more reflective, audio journal style episode where I explain how I approach coaching, content, and guidance without positioning myself as an expert with all the answers. My goal is to help you think differently about why you do or do not follow through, and how appreciating yourself from the inside can change everything about how you show up for your health and your life

Episode Description
How often do you reinvent yourself? Not in a loud or performative way, but in the quiet decisions that no one else can see. In this episode, I talk about the difference between natural evolution and intentional reinvention, especially when it comes to letting go of old labels that no longer serve you.
We dig into the fear that keeps people stuck, fear of failure, fear of judgment, and fear of feeling awkward when you try something new. I share why that uneasiness never fully goes away, but how you can become more comfortable with it when you stay connected to who you actually are and where you want to go in this season of your life.
I also talk about distraction, isolation, and how easy it is to stay floating exactly where you are when everything around you reinforces the same thoughts and beliefs. Reinvention requires connection, to yourself first, and then to people who challenge and support you in a real give and take way.
This episode is an invitation to reflect. When was the last time you consciously decided who you wanted to be? And are you living from the inside/out, or just reacting to what is familiar and comfortable?

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I ask a simple but uncomfortable question. What have you settled for?
This is a continuation of the conversation around taking responsibility for your own life and owning the choices you are making. Not from a place of pressure or motivation talk, but from a place of honesty and self awareness. Sometimes the most important step is not changing anything at all. It is simply knowing.
I talk about why settling is not automatically a failure. Sometimes settling is a conscious choice. Sometimes it is the easier option. Sometimes it is the comfort you actually want right now. And there is nothing wrong with that. The problem usually comes when we pretend we are stuck instead of admitting we are choosing.
We also get into what really happens when you do decide to change. It is rarely a dramatic overnight transformation. It involves pauses, adjustments, reassessment, and sometimes intentional breaks. Continuing forward thoughtfully is often more courageous than taking the first step.
This episode is about giving yourself permission to tell the truth about where you are. Whether you decide to stay or move in a new direction, you deserve to know what you are choosing and why. That awareness alone can change how you experience frustration, anxiety, and self judgment.
If you are trying to live an inside/out life, this kind of reflection matters. Knowing yourself matters. And building a calm and deliberate path forward starts with honest awareness.

Episode Description
In this episode, I talk about one of the most empowering shifts you can make in your life, taking responsibility for your life. There are things that are outside of your control and always will be, but there is also a lot that is within your control. When you consistently focus on what you can influence, you begin to feel grounded, capable, and calm instead of reactive and overwhelmed.
This conversation is about ownership without blame. It is about understanding that your headspace, your mindset, and the way you interpret what is happening around you will shape the direction you move in. This is not about pretending everything is positive or thinking your way out of reality. It is about trusting yourself to figure things out as you go, even when you do not have all the answers yet.
I also talk about belief, not fake confidence or empty motivation, but a genuine belief in your ability to learn, adapt, and navigate challenges. You have already proven this by getting yourself to where you are right now. You are still here. You are still moving. You are still capable.
This episode is a reminder that you are writing your own adventure every single day. You get to decide how you respond, what you take ownership of, and how you move forward from here.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast I am sharing why I am committed to this work for the long term. Your Level Fitness has evolved from my first job at the gym to something that has become my life’s work and the through line has always been the same. I want people to build confidence by showing up for themselves and living an inside/out life.
I talk about the early days of selling gym memberships and watching members grow into more confident versions of themselves just by continuing to show up. I share how I was pushed into getting a real job and how that led me into advertising sales marketing agency work content creation coaching and everything in between. Through every season I kept coming back to YLF because it is the thing that has always made sense to me.
I also walk through how sticking with something long enough will force all your experiences to work together. That is exactly what happened with my marketing background my fitness work my personal story and even my time in corporate email strategy. It all shaped how I built the current YLF tech stack structure programs and daily content. I explain why individualization matters how human connection still beats full AI automation and why I am not going anywhere.
If you have something you want to build this episode is a reminder that your path will evolve and you can find your way by sticking with it. This philosophy lives in everything I do and everything I share. Thank you for listening and being part of this process.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast Daryl breaks down the real problem he is trying to solve with Your Level Fitness. It is not about the perfect workout plan or the trendiest program. It is about helping you look in the mirror and genuinely like the person you see. Daryl explains how the fitness industry has spent years marketing against your insecurities and convincing you that you are not enough unless you buy the next solution.
Daryl shares why he created a message that tells you the opposite. You already have what you need. The work is to choose this belief on purpose and reinforce it daily so you can connect with yourself and live an inside/out life. As you build that connection your spending habits shift your goals evolve and you stop letting marketers tell you who you are.
He also walks through how he has structured Your Level Fitness to support that process with hundreds of blog posts thousands of podcast episodes regular emails and social content that you can use on your own. Then he explains how the YLF Experience and higher service levels give you direct guidance when you want help individualizing the framework while still keeping you as the architect of your own life.
The conversation also dives into body image and why so many people feel like they never look good enough even after losing weight. Daryl reframes body dysmorphia as a lifetime of being sold on the idea that changing your outside will magically fix your inside. He reminds you that what you truly need is kindness compassion and love toward the person you already are while you pursue any fitness or life goal you choose.

Episode Description
We talk a lot about protecting our peace, setting boundaries, and learning how to say no. In this episode, I want to focus on the other side of that conversation, what happens when you say yes. More specifically, why you are saying yes matters more than most people realize.
When you agree to help someone, that situation now becomes part of your world. If things do not go smoothly, frustration and resentment can creep in fast, especially if you agreed out of obligation instead of genuine desire. I break down how doing the right thing for the wrong reason can quietly damage relationships and your own sense of calm.
This episode is a reminder to slow down before agreeing to anything. Helping others can be a beautiful thing when it comes from a real place of choice. It becomes heavy when it comes from guilt, pressure, or fear of disappointing someone. The goal is not to stop helping people, it is to help in a way that aligns with how you actually want to show up in your life.
This ties directly into an inside/out approach to decision making, self trust, and emotional awareness. When your yes is honest, it carries less tension and far less resentment. When it is not, it costs you more than you think.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast I talk about where your real value comes from and why it cannot be tied to a job title a role or the number on the scale. I share how easy it is to connect your worth to weight loss progress the speed of your results or the labels other people know you by and what happens when any of those things change. You will hear examples from health and fitness work and everyday life that show how fragile it can be when your identity is wrapped around what you do instead of who you are. I invite you to zoom out look at the full span of your life and see your value in the person you are becoming across all of your chapters not in any single achievement or setback.
