217 The Real Reason You Think You’re Not Fit Enough — Why Social Media Gatekeeping Can F**k All the Way Off

In today’s "small" rant, I’m calling *bullsh*t\* on the social media gatekeepers who make fitness feel exclusive, elite, and totally out of reach for normal women with real lives.

Just as you start to feel like you’re making progress, BOOM — another filtered reel, another set of “rules,” and another so-called fitness “standard” that leaves you feeling like you’re not doing enough.

From **macro-tracking shame** to **hydration vest speed-policing**, this episode calls out the performative crap that’s ruining what fitness is actually meant to be: something that supports your life, not something that takes it over.

We cover:

🔥 Why fitness content has become more about aesthetics than health

🔥 7 ways gatekeeping shows up (and why it’s total BS)

🔥 How to spot content that disempowers you — and scroll on by

🔥 The truth about lifting, running, food tracking, and what *actually* counts

🔥 A reminder that YOU define what fitness means in your life

If you’ve ever thought: “Maybe I’m not doing it right.” “I’ll never look like that so why bother?” “I guess I’m not *really* fit…”

Then this episode is your wake-up call. You are not doing it wrong. You’re just surrounded by noise.

*** Stay tuned for next week’s episode where we’re flipping the script on body confidence AND I’ll be sharing a **free series** that you are absolutely going to want in your life.

About the Podcast

Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing
Mindset, Balance & Fitness for Real Life
The Busy Woman’s Guide is a wellness podcast for women looking for a healthy lifestyle that fits THEIR rhythm, not a cookie cutter version of all the “shoulds” and to-do lists out there.

Hosted by Alix Hubble, women’s therapeutic, fitness and life coach, I take you deeper into a wellbeing for YOU.

Because you already know what it takes to build healthy habits, and you’ve got enough productivity tips, workout motivation hacks, and tips for how to be consistent, how to stop procrastinating and how to achieve work life balance to last a lifetime.

So let’s explore what really sits beneath your burnout, your lack of consistency, your self sabotage, or your need to always “be on it.”

This is your permission slip to stop performing, start listening to yourself, and create a rhythm that actually fits your life.

If you’re asking questions like these….this is the place to be:

- How to stop overthinking?
- How can I be productive without burning out?
- How can I stop tying my self worth and self esteem to being busy?
- How can I stop self-sabotaging my progress?
- How do I feel more comfortable in my own skin again?
