In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about what it really means to be accountable to yourself and selective with who has access to your life. True accountability starts with being able to look yourself in the eye and take ownership of your choices. You can have support, you can have connections, and you should, but your foundation has to come from you. When you build that connection, you are better equipped to decide who gets access to you and to what level.

I also dive into why most people should not have front row seats to your life. You are not responsible for their opinions and they are not entitled to your inner world. At the same time, isolating yourself is not the answer either. We are meant to have meaningful relationships, but they need to be the right ones. Being accountable to yourself helps you identify those people and build the kind of life that feels grounded, empowering, and aligned with who you are.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about something we tend to skip over as adults. Knowing who we are. Really knowing. I walk you through a simple identity journal prompt that helps you reconnect with yourself and start peeling back the layers of what you think you should be so you can see who you actually are. Your past can inform you but it does not define you, and your worth is not tied to what you have already accomplished.

This is a reminder to come back to center as often as possible. To drop the labels that do not serve you. To slow down long enough to recognize that your life is in front of you right now. The opportunity to connect with yourself is available today, and that connection can shape every other part of your life moving forward.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, we dig into what it actually looks like to create meaningful standards for yourself. I walk you through the idea of having two standards, your minimums and your achievement goals, and how the minimum standards form the foundation for confidence, momentum, and long term follow through. Your minimums are not about lowering the bar or barely getting by. They are about starting where you are, building a habit of taking action, and stacking small wins that lead to bigger goals.

I also talk about why building your baseline around your preferences is so important. It makes taking action enjoyable which means it becomes repeatable. Once you build that foundation, you can start pushing the achievement side of things with genuine confidence and curiosity. Those two skills will take you anywhere you want to go.

We also get into the idea that consistency is a skill you train just like anything else. You decide who you want to be, you take the smallest step forward, you repeat it, and you build from there. Over time your identity, your goals, and even your future direction may shift. That is not failure. That is curiosity doing its job.

If you feel stuck or overwhelmed, this is a powerful place to start. Your foundation matters. Your minimums matter. And once you build those, you can figure out anything.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast I dive into a topic that many in the weight loss and fitness space do not spend nearly enough time thinking about. Who actually benefits the most when you choose macro tracking as your preferred eating strategy. Spoiler alert, it is not you. It is the food industry.

I share my thoughts as someone who has spent years working in both fitness and marketing, crafting messaging strategies and seeing how companies target your insecurities and your desire to feel in control. I am not saying macros are bad and I am not saying you should not use them. What I am doing is giving you another way to look at what you are doing and why you are doing it, especially if you feel dependent on tracking to feel in control of your eating.

We talk about packaged food marketing, how labels are built to pull you in, why so many people cling to tracking as their safety blanket, and how the lack of an exit strategy keeps you coming back. I also explain why I prefer photo journaling for most everyday people who want long term results without obsessing over numbers.

This episode is not about absolutes. It is about awareness. It is about understanding how the industry benefits from your habits and how you can start to make choices that align with your long term goals, your preferences, and your inside/out lifestyle.

As always I want to hear your thoughts. If you agree, disagree, or want to dig deeper, email me and let me know what came up for you during this conversation.

In this episode, I ask a direct question. Who or what offends you? Not because I want you to tell me, but because I want you to see what those moments reveal about you. When something or someone lights you up, there is almost always a deeper reason. Maybe it bumps into an old insecurity, a former version of you, or a part of your life that you have not fully let go of yet.

Offense is information. If you get offended by the same things over and over again, especially with different people, it might show you where your unspoken expectations are. We all have expectations. We try to hide them, but they still drive our feelings and reactions. When you understand your expectations, you can turn them into communication instead of resentment. You can request what you need and the other person has every right to respond with yes or no.

It is also possible that offense shows you where your opinions have become part of your identity. If someone challenges that opinion, it can feel like they are challenging you. That is a heavy way to live. Everybody has different experiences, and different opinions. So if some of this sounds like you, that is okay. This is information. This is how you learn, grow, and move forward in life. You can take a step back, assess, and decide how you want to respond. You can protect yourself with a boundary if needed, and you can do all of this without trying to control anyone else.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, we explore a powerful question. What brings you peace? Not temporary escape. Not the approval of others. Real internal calm. We continue the conversation around worth and validation, and we look at how peace shows up when you begin trusting yourself to navigate life from a calmer headspace.

I talk about why so many of us feel more familiar with chaos than with peace, and how uncomfortable it can be to experience calm when it finally arrives. You might even feel guilty for wanting peace because it seems foreign. But this is part of the work. The inside/out process involves sitting with your thoughts, allowing uncomfortable feelings to exist, and untangling long held patterns that keep you in survival mode.

I also share thoughts on therapy and why developing a productive working relationship with a therapist can be life changing. It is not just signing up for therapy, it is learning to open up, recognize blind spots, and work together on navigating thoughts, habits and emotions. The goal is not to remove all challenges. The goal is to trust yourself more while facing them.

Some things in life will never make sense. Some circumstances will not have a satisfying explanation. Peace is not having answers to everything. Peace is knowing you can handle life even when things are unresolved. It is feeling like you belong in your own body and in your own mind. That takes consistent practice, grace and a willingness to continue the conversation with yourself.

If this message connects with you, I would love to hear your thoughts. Email me anytime at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com.

Thank you for listening. I appreciate you. Keep practicing calm. Keep doing the work. We are changing the way we see ourselves and how we define success, and it goes far beyond fitness.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I continue the conversation we started yesterday about why so many of us do not believe we are enough. Today we get into how this plays out in our daily lives when we start chasing external worth. We look at how early praise, fitting in, and approval from others quietly shape how we see ourselves. I share how this shows up in fitness when the process becomes another performance instead of a way to support your forever active lifestyle from the inside/out.

I talk about how chasing productivity and moving nonstop can keep us from sitting with our thoughts and dealing with uncomfortable feelings. For many of us, staying busy is a way to outrun our inner dialogue. I share personal examples of how this has played out in my life and how seasons have slipped by because I was focused on what I could produce for others instead of learning how to sit with myself.

You will hear why the mechanics of weight loss are not the issue for most people and why the real challenge is untangling how much value we place on being useful, productive, or impressive. I want fitness and every other part of your life to be something you do because it supports who you are, not something you use to prove your worth.

By the end of this episode, you will have a clear reminder that your value should not rely on what you create or how well you perform. Worth is reinforced daily just like any skill. And the work of building it continues even when you have been on this path for years.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I ask a question that many of us have avoided for years. Why don’t you think you’re enough? I walk you through how this belief forms over decades, not from a single defining moment. You’ll hear how the small experiences you collect over your life quietly build a story that convinces you that you don’t belong or that you will never measure up.

We get into how comparison takes root when you don’t really know who you are. Not who you think you should be. Not who someone else appears to be. Who you actually are. If you don’t have that clarity, anyone who looks confident becomes the standard. I explain how this shows up in fitness, in your goals, in your habits, and honestly, all throughout your life.

You’ll hear how high achievers often raise the bar every time they get close. I share personal examples from fitness, from YLF, and from the years where I tried to outrun discomfort by producing more and more. We talk about emptiness. We talk about sitting with yourself. We talk about why the hustle never ends until you choose to end it.

I also cover the difference between improving yourself because you want to grow versus improving yourself because you feel empty. I share how productivity, content output, and chasing skills used to define my worth until I had to learn to exist without tying my value to what I produced.

Then we get into trust. Trusting yourself is one of the hardest things you will ever do, especially if you have spent most of your life seeking permission, validation, or approval. You will not feel like you’re enough until you learn to follow your own thoughts and take action on them.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand that feeling enough is not a feeling that magically appears. It is something you practice and reinforce daily. You are enough right now. You can improve any area of your life that you want. But your worth has never been tied to achievement, output, or comparison.

If you needed this episode, I’m glad you’re here.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about what it really means to run your own race and why comparing your timeline to someone else’s keeps you stuck in self-doubt, frustration, and hesitation. Most of us underestimate how much progress we’ve already made because we are our own harshest critic. We see every struggle, every pause, every setback, while assuming that everyone else is effortlessly moving forward.

I break down the blind spots that show up when you forget that you are living a completely different life with different responsibilities, experiences, and challenges. You may not notice your own consistency. You may not see the skills you’ve developed. You may not acknowledge the resilience you show every time you get up and keep going after difficult seasons. But those things matter. They shape who you are becoming.

We also talk about the habit of setting expectations that are so far beyond your current reality that you end up using perfection as a distraction. You tell yourself you need bigger goals or tighter standards, when the truth is you need simpler actions, clearer structure, and more compassion for yourself. Mastering the basics is what builds confidence. Confidence is what builds momentum. Momentum is what helps you trust yourself.

And that trust is everything. When you trust yourself you stop giving up when things get messy. You stop assuming struggle means failure. You stop waiting for perfect conditions before you take action. You start seeing obstacles as part of the path, not proof that you should quit.

Your pace, your path, and your progress are yours. There will be side quests, pauses, detours, bursts of energy, and slower seasons. All of it counts. All of it is part of running your own race with intention, awareness, and a calm headspace.

Thank you for listening.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about something I struggled with for years and want you to avoid as much as possible, which is wasting time. I share how easy it is to rationalize our way out of taking action, convince ourselves that the timing isn’t right, or believe our work isn’t good enough to put out. I also talk about how quickly that mindset becomes a pattern that steals time we can never get back.

I walk you through the early days of my blogging and podcasting journey, where I had the ideas, the plans, the drafts, and the structure, but still couldn’t get myself to hit publish. It took me months to get a second podcast episode out because I was in my head about everything. What finally changed things was choosing to take action even before I felt ready, and deciding I was going to publish something no matter what. Once I did that, the fear loosened and curiosity took over.

When you start believing you are capable and let your actions reinforce that belief, everything changes. You stop looking for permission. You stop trying to predict every outcome. You get curious about what might happen if you try something new. That curiosity is what led to this podcast. It’s what led to the growth of the YLF blog. It’s what led to building the entire YLF ecosystem that now supports your inside/out process.

I also share how time has proven the value of simply showing up. In a year of almost daily blogging, the website grew from one hundred visits a month to six hundred. The path wasn’t linear, and it never is. The ups and downs are part of the story. But progress only happens when you stop waiting and start creating.

Time is moving fast. If you are in your thirties or forties, you feel that every single day. I do not want you to look back and regret the seasons of your life where you talked yourself out of taking action. You deserve better than that. You deserve to trust yourself, follow through, and take steps toward the life you want.

Thank you for listening.

Episode Description:

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about getting comfortable with people not fully knowing you and being okay with that. Most people only know parts of who you are, and many times they like the idea of you more than the full version of you. That’s not a bad thing. It’s just part of life, especially when you’re building self-awareness and living from the inside/out.

We all want to be understood, but the truth is that not everyone deserves full access to us. Knowing your worth isn’t just about saying it, it’s about enforcing it. Part of that enforcement means being selective about who gets your time and energy. Not everyone needs to know your story or understand your decisions. Let people think what they’re going to think, because they will anyway. Most of the time, their opinions are reflections of how they see themselves, not you.

This applies to every part of life, including fitness. People might judge your choices, your pace, or your goals without knowing your reasons. But you don’t owe anyone an explanation for how you live your life or pursue your health. When you stop explaining and start living authentically, you free up a lot of mental energy to focus on your own growth.

The smaller the circle of people who truly understand you, the calmer your life becomes. And the more you connect with yourself, the less you feel the need to be understood by others. That’s one of the quietest and most powerful shifts you can make.

Thank you for listening and for continuing to build this community focused on living from the inside/out.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I share why I do not want you to feel regret about how you have approached health and fitness or any other part of your life. You have spent years, maybe decades, carrying the weight of messages that told you that if you just lost enough, fixed enough, or proved enough, you would finally be worthy. I want to help you drop that story.

We talk about what happens when you hit the goal, lose the weight, follow the program, use the tools, and still look in the mirror and feel the same. For so many, it is not just about seeing the same body. It is about feeling like the same person and still not liking that person. That is the part that hurts. That is where the real regret can creep in.

Instead of living your entire life chasing quick fixes and external approval, I want you to build something you will actually want to do for the rest of your life. You already have what you need inside of you to do that. My role is to put out content that reminds you to appreciate yourself from the inside/out. The podcast, the blog, the emails, the resources are all there to reinforce a different kind of message. One that tells you that you are not behind, you are not in competition with anyone else, and your path is allowed to look different.

We dig into how subtle and direct marketing, fitness culture, and comparison keep you feeling less than. We talk about the signs that you might be rationalizing a life that does not fit you. And we talk about how things shift when you are genuinely fulfilled and aligned. When you are connected to who you are, you start to want everyone to win, because you are finally on your path.

I do not want you to regret the time and energy you have already spent. I want you to use everything you have learned to build a life, a process, and a relationship with yourself that actually feels like yours.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I want you to make a decision that can change everything. Trust yourself.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not good enough, like you don’t belong, or like you’re faking it until you make it, this episode is for you. I talk about imposter syndrome, confidence, and what it really means to live life on your own terms. Confidence doesn’t come from achieving enough to finally believe in yourself. It starts the moment you decide to.

You can’t think your way into self-trust through endless self-help content or action lists. You build genuine confidence by making a choice first, then reinforcing that belief through everything you do. I share how I’ve lived this firsthand—being five foot seven, bald, and living with a visible disability—and how choosing to believe in myself has shaped everything in my life.

When you make that same choice, you stop chasing validation from others. You stop performing for approval. You begin building your life from the inside/out.

This isn’t about pretending to have it all figured out. It’s about trusting that you’ll figure it out as you go. Every single thing you do from that decision forward becomes evidence of your belief in yourself.

It starts with one choice. Make it today.

Episode Description

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about something simple that most of us overlook, the quiet days. The normal days. The time when it is just you and your people doing nothing big, nothing flashy, just living your actual life. Those are the days you are going to miss.

I share how fast time really moves, from realizing how long ago college was, to early career memories, to seeing Your Level Fitness work anniversaries pop up and thinking about everything that has happened in between. It is wild how quickly years pass while we are busy chasing the next achievement or highlight moment.

This is your reminder to be present where you are. To notice the small stuff. To appreciate the boring good days before they become the memories you wish you could get back. I do not want you living a life full of regret, looking back and wondering what you were doing while your real life was happening right in front of you.

Episode Description

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about time, perspective, and why this exact moment in your life matters more than you realize. One day you may look back and miss this version of your life, or wish you had seen how important it was while you were living it. You might be more naive than you know, or standing right next to the best thing that will ever happen to you, or moving through something hard that is shaping who you are becoming.

I want you to pause and consider what is good in your world right now, what you might be taking for granted, and how quickly all of this can change. Time is the one thing we never get back, and I do not want you living with regret about how you spent it, how you treated yourself, or how disconnected you may have felt from your own life.

Use this episode as a reminder to be present, to notice the details, to appreciate the people and moments around you, and to start aligning how you live with what actually matters to you.

Episode Description

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I introduce Gym And Therapy, an interview series that brings mental health professionals into the conversation about one of the most common phrases in the fitness world, the gym is my therapy. Therapists, counselors, social workers, and others who work with mental and emotional health will share their perspective on this statement, unpack what people really mean when they say it, and help us explore where movement, support, and actual therapy fit into our lives.

I talk about why I believe we need a personal recipe for mental and emotional health, built from different tools that work together instead of relying on just one thing. I share my own experience as someone who has been in therapy consistently, trains regularly, and uses both to process emotions, relieve tension, and stay grounded. You will hear how this project connects to my long standing work in fitness and self-acceptance, including the Mens Mental Health Series, and how all of it comes back to helping you appreciate yourself from the inside/out instead of chasing your worth through your appearance.

Gym And Therapy is about nuance, context, and real conversations. My hope is that across these episodes you hear stories, opinions, and insights that help you feel seen, encourage you to seek support that fits you, and remind you that you deserve a life where you are connected with who you are, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I’m officially bringing The Almost Daily Podcast and The Your Level Fitness Podcast together under one roof. If you’re new here, welcome. This show is my personal audio journal where I talk about connecting with yourself, appreciating who you are, and living from the inside/out.

The Your Level Fitness Podcast will continue to exist through this show, but the focus is expanding. I’ll be talking about life, mindset, growth, and health, all filtered through the same inside/out approach that has shaped everything I do. Whether you’ve followed my fitness content, my mindset work, or just found this feed for the first time, my hope is that you hear something in these short, conversational episodes that helps you reflect, act, and move forward in your own life.

I also share a bit about why I’m consolidating my podcasts, how I use AI in my content process, and what’s next with an upcoming interview series launching soon. And yes, I admit that cleaning up episode numbers makes my brain happy.

If you’re looking for authentic conversations, practical takeaways, and a calm reminder that progress starts from within, you’re in the right place.

Episode Description

In this quick mini rant from episode 2023, I talk about the dream you label as crazy. The one people say is not reasonable, too big, never been done. I want you to go after it. You get one life. I do not want you carrying regret because you talked yourself out of what you really wanted.

I share why the point is not only landing exactly where you aimed, but becoming the person who takes the swing. When you move, you either arrive where you intended or you end up somewhere better for you. Settling is a habit. So is choosing yourself. Curiosity beats criticism, and action beats waiting every time.

Use this episode as a nudge to back your ambition today. Define the first step. Take it before your brain starts negotiating. Send me your thoughts and your next action. I want to hear what you are going after and how you are moving on it.

Try this today.
Write down the wild goal in one sentence. List one ten minute action you can do now. Do it, then reply and tell me what you did.

In this episode, I talk about figuring out your own path. Not the one you think you should want, not the one others expect from you, but the one that actually feels real and fulfilling to you. Most of us spend years trying different things, pushing in directions that do not quite fit, and feeling frustrated when clarity does not come right away. That is part of the process. Those paths that do not align with us help us discover the ones that do.

If you are in a season where things feel unclear, I encourage you to step back and really look at where you have been and where you want to go. Ask yourself what you want professionally, personally, and in your day to day life. Not what you think you should want, but what you genuinely want right now. Give yourself permission to explore that honestly.

Some people seem lucky, but everyone who ends up where they want to be eventually has to figure it out. You can figure it out too. If it matters to you, you will uncover the steps. You will adjust. You will find your direction. It might not look perfect or polished today, but that does not mean you are not moving in the right direction.

Thank you for listening. Feel free to email me with your thoughts and reflections. I always love hearing from you.

In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I challenge you to shift your mindset from chasing perfection to striving for excellence. Perfection sounds inspiring, but it often traps us in all or nothing thinking. The moment something does not go exactly as planned, many of us mentally bail, take the rest of the day off, or tell ourselves we will start over tomorrow. And sometimes we never restart at all.

Instead of trying to be perfect everywhere, I walk you through a simple framework. Pick one area each day and exceed your goal in that area. Just one. When you do this, you build momentum and confidence. You start actively searching for wins, big and small. You begin seeing yourself in a more capable and positive light. And once you excel in one place, you will naturally look for more moments to rise above the baseline in the rest of your day.

This is how you build a sustainable, empowering rhythm. Not by trying to be flawless, but by consistently showing yourself you can go above your minimums. Excellence compounds. It rewires how you see progress. It rewires how you see yourself.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes. I always love hearing from you.
