In this episode, I’m joined by personal trainer Toby Assor for a conversation about resilience, identity, and what it really looks like to rebuild your life from the inside out. With over a decade of experience helping clients transform their bodies and their lives, Toby brings a deeply personal and intuitive approach to fitness, grounded in both physical strength and inner growth.

Toby shares her personal journey growing up in a religious Orthodox home, navigating feelings of not fitting the traditional mold, and eventually finding her way through movement, discipline, and self-trust.

We explore how physical fitness can become so much more than just exercise. It can be a pathway to healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming your sense of self during life’s hardest seasons.

Life can look “put together” on the outside while feeling incredibly heavy on the inside. So many people are quietly struggling, unsure how to move forward or reconnect with themselves.

In this episode we talk openly about rebuilding identity, developing discipline, and learning how to show up for yourself even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar. Toby’s story is a powerful reminder that strength isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to find your footing, or wondered how to start over in a meaningful way, this episode is for you.
