Note sull'episodio
This episode is your permission slip to pause. Whether you're deep in prep or simply trying to stay afloat in your fitness journey, The Psyche Behind the Physique is diving deep into the whispers of burnout—before they turn into screams.
Maddy is joined by powerhouse coach and athlete Sham Haynes for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the emotional unraveling that can happen when we operate from misalignment, not authenticity. Together, they explore:
- What burnout really feels like (and how to spot the early signs)
- The inner child vs. the grown-up self—and why both deserve a seat at the table
- How to talk to your coach before ghosting becomes your escape plan
- Why a pivot doesn’t mean you’re quitting (and how to pivot with power)
- The surprising spiritual and hormonal symptoms of pushing too hard for too long
From bodybuilding to HYROX, structured meal plans to intuitive eating, Maddy and Sham get real about discipline, rebellion, and redefining what success looks like when you're finally ready to listen to your gut. If you've been craving a more human, more sustainable approach to coaching, performance, and personal growth—this one’s for you.
Press play, take a breath, and remember: sometimes your next breakthrough starts with a tiny whisper.
