36:05 Share

Summary Our guest is Lola Mormino. She went from cancer survivor to one of the youngest gym owners in the country. ABOUT THE EPISODE Lola Mormino is no average 20-year-old. Born with a 2.5-pound tumor attached to her tailbone, Mormino was not expected to survive long. However, the fighting spirit that Mormino embodied at a young age helped her conquer that early battle. Between the ages of 7 and 15, Mormino also battled a condition that caused her to pass out at a moment’s notice. While these major health hurdles caused her to end her promising hockey career, the California native learned some difficult lessons in perseverance at an early age.

In this inspiring episode of The Fit Mess, she shares how her health struggles actually propelled her on her health and fitness journey which lead her to start her own business, Lola Mormino Fitness, and to become one of the youngest gym owners in the country. 

What We Discuss with Lola:

• Goals - focus like a laser and don’t get distracted from achieving them
• Motivation: being driven by overcoming obstacles, what happens when the obstacles are no longer there?  
• Create a support system - find a trainer, coach, friend, therapist…someone you can open up to and share your mess with. 
• Most of the battle to get fit is mental and it’s a lot easier with help
