Small Changes, Big Differences

In this episode of Mind Your Self Podcast, we explore the powerful connection between physical fitness and mental wellbeing with Andrew Hageman from A & S Fitness.

Andrew shares his personal experiences with exercise, anxiety, self-sabotage and the pursuit of happiness, and how movement has become an important tool for clearing his mind and navigating difficult periods.

We explore the importance of finding your “why,” breaking self-sabotaging patterns and learning to respond differently to life’s challenges. Andrew also opens up about the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and why vulnerability and honest conversations are so important.

The conversation also introduces Andrew’s practical approach to wellbeing: his system of “non-negotiables” and “negotiables,” which helps him create structure while allowing flexibility and reducing unnecessary pressure.

A conversation about mental health, resilience, purpose, exercise and finding a new perspective even in our darkest moments.

 

Sometimes the thing that changes your life isn't a huge transformation. It's one small choice to do something differently.
