How I Got in the Best Shape of My Life... In a Way I Never Thought Would Work
Mon Feb 02 2026
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.
I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.
If you've ever set a goal, hyped yourself up, made the perfect plan and then watched it fizzle, you're not alone.
In this episode, I share how I finally got in the best shape of my life not by doubling down on discipline, but by taking a radically different approach: self-compassion.
What started as an experiment led to consistent fitness, better focus, and the most confident version of myself. You'll walk away with a new framework that might just change how you achieve everything.
🎯 In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why 20+ years of rigid fitness plans never worked for me
↠ How getting diagnosed with ADHD reframed my entire approach to goals
↠ The burnout that came from motivating myself with fear and adrenaline
↠ What self-acceptance actually looks like in daily habits
↠ How strength training transformed once I honored how I learn best
↠ The game-changing decision to hire a personal trainer (and why it stuck)
↠ Shifting from shame-based motivation to kindness-based action
↠ How "doing favors for my future self" became a guiding mindset
↠ The wild connection between self-compassion and peak performance
↠ Why your best results might come from being nicer to yourself
