Episode #329: Make Your Mindset Your Superpower and Get Fit for Life with Allan Misner

Allan Misner is a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer, a Precision Nutrition Level II Master Health Coach, and a Functional Aging Institute (FAI) Certified Functional Aging Specialist who helps people over 40 lose weight and get fit so they can live the life they were meant to have.
Allan has his own story of personal transformation when he had a wake-up call just before his 39th birthday. A former athlete, he let himself go as work stress, a toxic relationship, and poor health choices left him out of shape and overweight. At that moment he decided to make a change, improve his lifestyle, and regain his fitness.
It wasn’t easy, but eventually he reclaimed his health, fitness, and well-being, and now he is on a mission to help others do the same. He is also the host of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, and author of the award-winning book titled “The Wellness Roadmap: A Straightforward Guide to Health and Fitness After 40,” and owner of the 40+ Fitness Online Personal Training.
Allan shares his personal story of transformation, including how he spent eight years riding the roller coaster and countless waves of success and failure, which made him realize that simply making that decision wasn’t enough. So, one day, while lying on the bed of a hotel room, hungover and overweight again, he made a commitment to his health and well-being.
It was the shift in his thinking which changed his life. He used the same focus and dedication he used in his professional life, and over the next eleven months he lost sixty-six pounds of fat, gained eleven pounds of muscle, and completed a Tough Mudder with his twenty-year-old daughter.
Allan shares many important insights, life lessons, and valuable insights on how each and every one of us can achieve our health and fitness goals by shifting our mindset, taking small steps, and moving forward. He emphasizes that we all have a responsibility to ourselves and the people we love to be the best version of ourselves that we possibly can be.

Episode 4:Don't Be Sorry--Just Be You
TheFemiNinjaProject
07/22/19 • 18 min
How many times a day do you say the words "I'm sorry?" Women are always apologizing, even when we haven't done anything wrong. I call it Excessive Apology Disorder, and it can be a real problem for you.
Because when you continuously apologize for anything and everything (when you aren't responsible), it slowly and methodically chips away at your personal power, allowing for self-doubt to come creeping in. Eventually guilt and shame follows right behind it.
Here's how to recognize if you have Excessive Apology Disorder, and what to do about it if you do. Because not everything is your fault.
Episode #309: The Secrets to Unlimited Success with John Brink
TheFemiNinjaProject
02/13/24 • 58 min
John Brink is a best-selling author, body builder, fitness expert, CEO and owner of over ten companies, survivor, and thriver, who was born in Nazi-occupied Holland during WWII. He is also the author of three books and host of the On The Brink podcast series. He is also a fierce advocate for erasing the stigma of ADHD, something he has lived with his entire life.
John shares his story of growing up in harsh warlike conditions, and the horrors and hunger he experienced as a small child. From the time he could walk, his days often consisted of foraging for food with his brother and sister, surrounded by death and destruction, especially during the hunger winter of 1944/45. His mother was left to raise her three kids alone when their father was drafted into the Dutch Army. They wouldn’t know if he was dead or alive until the liberation of their village, by Canadian soldiers, on April 12, 1945.
This was the exact moment when John determined he would one day move to Canada - the land of his heroes. He was only five years old when this decision was made. Like many others who lived through that time, John has lived his entire life with the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), resulting from being in a warzone.
John describes how he finally made his dream come true, ultimately emigrating to Canada in July 1965, arriving in Prince George with $25.47 in his pocket. His journey in life and business has been filled with highs and lows. However, through his entire life, the one thing which has remained constant is John’s optimistic attitude, passion for entrepreneurship, and relentless work ethic.
Download this powerful episode to hear John’s story and his infectious optimism, positivity, sense of humor, and how you can discover the secrets to his success.
