If someone offered you a gift of a few barbells and said that with proper use, they’d make your body stronger, would you believe it?
If someone offered you a gift of books and said that with proper use, they’d make you more knowledgeable, would you believe it?
If someone offered you a gift of self-love and said that with proper use, it could make you more able to navigate the challenges of life, would you believe it?
Physical fitness = Barbells, Movement

What if this one gift, when received and used, could not only help you develop your inner fitness, but in the process would also help repair the one relationship in your life that impacts every other relationship? The one with yourself.
That’s what this week’s podcast episode — with Tina Lifford — is about. Tina Lifford may be best known for her career as an actress, but she’s also the founder of the Inner Fitness Project. She’s the author of two books, The Little Book of Big Lies and The Inner Fitness Revolution. I’ve read and recommend both of them. I want to be more fit to handle not just the seasons of my life but the terrain of everyday life. Don’t you? I want to show up better for myself and for the other people in my life. Don’t you? I want to develop my inner fitness. Don’t you?
In this conversation, which goes up on the Voreen Podcast on August 16, 2026, Tina shares where to begin, and she provides tools. They’re just as tangible as a barbell or a book.
If you want to find more grace for yourself but you don’t know how… And if you want to navigate life’s trials with more resilience and ease… You might want to listen to this week’s episode. Plus, it’s fun! There are laughs as well as a middle name surprise, a lovely shared act of kindness, and a special story behind Tina’s choice to sing or not to sing at the end. If you’ve been listening to the podcast, it's something I ask every guest. Some will, some won’t, but it’s always fun.
