Mindset Over Muscle: Why Mental Health Comes First (Part 1)
In a world obsessed with transformations and physical goals, we’re flipping the script—because the real flex isn’t your six-pack, it’s your state of mind.
In this episode of Models Diet, host Nina Daniels opens up about her personal journey—from being a D1 athlete and staying active through Pilates, yoga, and strength training, to facing a tough ankle injury that forced her to pause everything. Add to that her break from stand-up comedy and stepping into a full-time stepmom role—and it’s easy to see how life can shift your priorities, fast.
But now, Nina’s reclaiming her routine, not by pushing harder in the gym—but by leading with mindset. This episode is all about why mental health is the foundation of sustainable fitness, confidence, and performance. It’s raw, honest, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s had to rebuild from the inside out.
