Burned Out, Stressed, and Overweight? Here’s the Truth You Need to Hear

May 06, 2025

In this deeply reflective episode of the Legal Edge Coaching Podcast, hosts Trevor White and Shane Smith explore the critical role physical health plays in every area of life—from business success to personal relationships. Trevor shares a harrowing story of a near heart attack during his son’s birthday that served as a wake-up call, forcing him to confront years of stress, alcoholism, and self-neglect. That moment became a turning point, awakening him to the fact that no amount of business success or family time matters if your body breaks down. The conversation challenges listeners to recognize the body not just as a vehicle, but as a weapon—something to be honed, respected, and maintained in order to show up fully in life.


Together, Trevor and Shane emphasize that physical discipline breeds mental clarity, emotional resilience, and professional credibility. They discuss how fitness empowers lawyers and leaders to handle stress, model strength for their children, and project confidence in the courtroom and beyond. The episode is more than a call to exercise—it’s a compelling argument that your body is the foundation for everything else you want to build. Whether it's lifting weights, drinking more water, or simply walking each day, they challenge listeners to make one consistent change that fuels long-term transformation. The core message: a strong body creates a strong life, and investing in it is non-negotiable.
