What is up my friends? This week on Jokes and the Gym, I get a little personal. I opened up about some of life’s challenges (spoiler: feelings were felt), and why communication is basically the kettlebell swing of human connection—awkward at first, but powerful once you commit to it. And I challenge YOU to stop saying a certain word and see how it changes your freakin life.

I talk about the importance of saying what you mean, letting people in (even when you’d rather hide in a hoodie), and showing up for each other with a little more compassionate curiosity. There’s some reflection, some real talk, and yeah, a couple jokes to keep it from getting too earnest.

If you’ve ever struggled to say what you really mean—or if you’ve ever just needed someone to ask “Hey, how are you really?”—this one’s for you.
