Imagine a world where everyone has the courage to show up as their true selves, inspiring others to do the same. In this episode, I sit down with Cody Rigsby, the celebrated Peloton instructor and fitness influencer known for his authentic approach to wellness and self-improvement. As a bestselling author and host of the popular podcast Tactful Pettiness, Cody brings a refreshing perspective on life. And while he never takes life too seriously, his journey is one of courage and resilience. In this episode, we discuss embracing discomfort as a catalyst for growth, navigating the “seasonality” of life, and cultivating self-acceptance.
