About your host
I'm Tony Sherock, and I help busy midlife professionals get their energy back when they're running on empty.
On paper, I'm a Certified Tiny Habits Coach, trained in the behavior-science method built by Dr. BJ Fogg at Stanford, a Health Behavior Specialist, a certified personal trainer, and a Thrive Global coach who helps corporate teams cut burnout.
But here's the part that matters for you. I know burnout from the inside.
For about 40 years I was a train wreck, running on fast food, soda, and willpower, on medications and feeling like garbage. Then life got heavier. I cared for my father for 17 months until he passed, moved my sister with Lewy Body Dementia across the state to care for her, and I'm guardian for my special-needs sister. I burnt all the way out in that stretch.
I didn't get my health back when life got easy, because it never did. I got it back in the hardest season of my life by scaling my habits down the right way, using refuels so small they couldn't be knocked over. I lost about 50 pounds and got off medications I thought I'd have forever.
What I believe
Failing at your health was never a personal flaw. It's a design flaw, and design flaws are fixable.
