From Anger to Freedom: A Neurodivergent Guide to Forgiveness with Catherine Giovanni

CrazyFitnessGuy — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with forgiveness and transformation coach Catherine Giovanni about what forgiveness really looks like when your brain loves to replay old hurts on a loop. Catherine shares her story of walking through cancer, childhood pain, recovery, and big life challenges—and how those experiences led her to create a step‑by‑step forgiveness method that keeps your boundaries and emotional safety front and center. Together, Jimmy and Catherine unpack common myths about forgiveness, the difference between forgiving and forgetting, and why letting go is not about excusing what happened but about freeing up your energy and nervous system. If you’re an autistic or neurodivergent adult who feels stuck in anger, resentment, or shame, this conversation offers gentle, realistic tools to move toward clarity, peace, and genuine empowerment—at your own pace.

Key Takeaways

What forgiveness is (and isn’t), and why it does not mean excusing harmful behavior or inviting toxic people back into your life.
Practical steps to start letting go of anger and resentment while still protecting your boundaries and emotional safety.
How forgiveness can reduce mental overload, ease thought loops, and support long‑term emotional health for neurodivergent minds.
Why you don’t have to start with the “dumpster‑fire 10/10” people—beginning with smaller annoyances makes forgiveness feel safer and more doable.
How forgiving people, places, and things (and the “energy” around them) can loosen the grip of painful memories like bullying, family conflict, or bad experiences with companies and schools.
Why self‑forgiveness is often the hardest work—and how even forgiving yourself for “not being ready yet” is a powerful first step.

Creative Problem‑Solving for Neurodivergent Minds: Using Photography Skills in Life & Business with James Walters

CrazyFitnessGuy — Fri, 30 May 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Do you ever feel stuck solving problems the “normal” way—like your autistic or neurodivergent brain sees the world differently, but you are not sure how to turn that into a strength? This episode shows you how creative thinking and visual skills can become powerful tools in both life and business.

In this conversation, host Jimmy Clare talks with James Walters—a professional photographer, podcaster, and creative entrepreneur—about how photography has shaped the way he solves problems, tells stories, and makes decisions. James shares how looking at the world through a lens has helped him embrace his unique perspective, experiment more, and build confidence in his creative choices.

Together, we explore how neurodivergent minds often spot details, patterns, and angles that others miss—and how you can use that to your advantage, whether you are running a business, working a 9–5, or just trying to move through daily life with less stress. This is not about being a “perfect” artist; it is about using your curiosity and creativity to navigate challenges in a way that fits your brain.

What you will learn:

How James uses photography to approach problems from new angles in business and everyday life
Ways creative thinking can help autistic and neurodivergent people feel more confident and less boxed‑in
Practical ideas for experimenting, trying small risks, and learning from mistakes without harsh self‑judgment

If you have ever felt like your brain works differently and you are not sure how that fits into work, content creation, or your goals, this episode will help you see your creativity as a real asset—not something to hide. Tune in and get inspired to see your world from a new angle.

Unmasked on the Mic: Therapy, Depression, and Men’s Mental Health for Neurodivergent Minds (with Zach and Jeremy from The Fit Mess)

CrazyFitnessGuy — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Most men are taught to “man up” and keep everything inside—especially when their brain is already overloaded. If you are an autistic or neurodivergent man (or you care about one) navigating depression, anxiety, or quiet burnout, this episode was created with you in mind.

Host Jimmy Clare—autism advocate and creator of CrazyFitnessGuy®—sits down with Zach Tucker and Jeremy Grier from The Fit Mess podcast for an unmasked, judgment‑free conversation about men’s mental health. They share what it really felt like to reach out for therapy, live with depression, and try to show up for work and family while their nervous systems were running on fumes.

Together, we unpack how masking, perfectionism, and “I’m fine” culture hit autistic and neurodivergent men especially hard. You will hear practical, realistic ideas for talking about your feelings, asking for help, and using gentle movement and small habits to support your mental health—without turning yourself into someone you are not.

What you will learn:

Why unmasking (even a little) can be life‑changing for neurodivergent men
How therapy, coaching, and honest conversations can reduce shame and isolation
Simple ways to start opening up when you have spent years staying quiet
How gentle fitness and tiny routines can support mental health without toxic grind culture
Why “always being strong” is exhausting for autistic and neurodivergent men—and what a kinder version of strength can look like

If you are tired of pretending you are okay when you are not, this episode offers compassion, real stories, and a reminder that struggling does not make you weak—and that you do not have to do it alone.

Life After “I’m Broken”: Rewriting Self‑Limiting Beliefs for Autistic & Neurodivergent Adults (with Coach Austin Page)

CrazyFitnessGuy — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000

If you are an autistic or neurodivergent adult who has thought “I’m broken,” “I’ve messed everything up,” or “it’s too late for me,” this episode is for you. Life does not have to stay the way it is—even when your brain keeps replaying old mistakes.

Host Jimmy Clare talks with full‑time coach Austin Page, whose life was turned upside down by a near‑fatal accident. Instead of letting it define him, Austin slowly rebuilt his life, shifting from reckless partying and self‑sabotage to fitness, coaching, and a more grounded sense of purpose—one honest choice at a time.

Together, we unpack how self‑limiting beliefs take hold (especially in busy, anxious, or neurodivergent minds), and how small, realistic actions can start to loosen their grip. This is not about “just be positive” or extreme hustle. It is about gentle change, self‑honesty, and finding motivation that respects your energy, your body, and your nervous system.

What you will learn:

How Austin began to confront and rewrite his self‑limiting beliefs after his accident
Motivation strategies that actually work when you feel tired, discouraged, or easily overwhelmed
The role of gentle, sustainable fitness in healing both body and mind
How to build resilience using small steps instead of all‑or‑nothing thinking
Why dynamic stretches can often be more helpful than only static stretching in many routines

If you have ever thought “it’s too late for me,” this episode is your reminder that you can still make changes at your own pace, in a way that fits your unique brain and life.

Hear how a near‑death experience became a turning point instead of the end of the story
Get a feel for the guest’s journey from “I don’t care anymore” to “I’m ready to try again”
Learn why small, consistent habits can matter more than dramatic overnight changes
Preview practical, gentle motivation strategies you will hear more about in the full episode

CrazyFitnessGuy — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Starting or growing a podcast as an autistic or neurodivergent creator can feel overwhelming—especially with all the advice about “hustle,” constant content, and chasing downloads.

Rory shares how a spiritual awakening led him to start multiple podcasts and how he learned to grow them without grinding himself into the ground. Together, Jimmy and Rory break down gentle, realistic ways to think about monetization (beyond just ad money), how to use analytics without getting obsessed with the numbers, and why imperfect consistency matters more than flashy launches.

This episode is designed for autistic and neurodivergent adults who want to create, share their voice, and maybe earn money—without burning out or masking their way through the process. You’ll hear validation for the days when your brain says “nope,” plus practical, sensory-friendly tips to keep moving forward at your own pace.

CrazyFitnessGuy — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 02:00:00 +0000

In this autistic-led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with motivational coach Greg Evans about what mindful success looks like when your brain is already tired, stressed, or overloaded. Instead of shouting “hustle harder,” they focus on calm, realistic ways to set goals, delegate tasks, and build a life that actually fits autistic and neurodivergent adults.

This episode is for listeners who want to grow but feel guilty when they cannot keep up with intense routines, long to‑do lists, or “perfect” habits. Jimmy and Greg unpack how positive self‑reflection, simple systems, and small experiments can help people discover what they care about and move toward it without burning out.

Listeners will learn how to:

Use gentle self‑reflection to adjust goals instead of beating themselves up
Delegate or drop tasks so their brain is not juggling everything alone
Make space for passions and interests, even on low‑energy days
Rethink success so it includes rest, joy, and realistic expectations

About the guest:
Greg Evans is a motivational coach who helps people rethink success, reduce stress, and build lives that feel more meaningful and manageable. He encourages clients to rethink, delegate, minimalize, automate, and brand their unique strengths so they can enjoy life now—not just someday.

Jimmy and Len break down what the 1 Percent More book is about, what “1 percent more” looks like in everyday life, and how Len and his co‑authors overcame fear, self‑doubt, and overwhelm to create a roadmap for positive change.

Listeners will learn how to:

Understand the core idea behind 1 Percent More and why small steps matter
Take tiny, doable actions instead of waiting for perfect motivation or energy
Rethink fear, self‑doubt, and overwhelm in a kinder, more practical way
Use the book as a gentle guide for long‑term growth at their own pace

About the guest:
Len DeCarmine is a coach, co‑host, and co‑creator of The Extraordinary Being Movement. Along with his partners, he is building a global movement to empower people in personal growth and achievement through their weekly podcast and their book “1 Percent More.”

Low‑Pressure Public Speaking for Neurodivergent Brains with Marshall Gillen & Tucker Bearden

CrazyFitnessGuy — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 16:22:00 +0000

Public speaking can feel terrifying when you are autistic, anxious, or constantly battling imposter syndrome—and most “million dollar” speaker advice is not built for that reality. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with Marshall Gillen and Tucker Bearden about a calmer, more honest way to use speaking to share your story, help people, and grow your work without pretending to be someone you are not.

Marshall opens up about going from 5x college dropout, addiction, divorce, homelessness, and a suicide attempt to becoming a multiple six‑figure earner, award‑winning, Guinness world record‑holding transformational storyteller. Together, Jimmy, Marshall, and Tucker break down what actually helps when your brain is overloaded, you are scared of being judged, and you still want to make an impact with your voice.

In this episode, you will learn how to:

See public speaking as sharing a story, not performing a fake confident character
Start speaking even if you feel “not ready,” “too broken,” or “too different”
Use simple frameworks from the Million Dollar Speaking Strategy in a gentler, low‑pressure way
Reframe imposter syndrome and self‑doubt so they do not stop you from helping your audience

About the guest – Marshall Gillen:
For the last 5 years, Marshall has helped “regular everyday people” become the greatest version of themselves by overcoming imposter syndrome, breaking through their biggest limitations, and building an unstoppable mindset of success. He went from 5x college dropout, drug addict, alcoholic, divorced, homeless, and attempted suicide survivor to a multiple six‑figure earner, award‑winning, Guinness world record‑holding transformational storyteller and global inspiration.

CrazyFitnessGuy — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 14:00:00 +0000

If you are autistic, chronically stressed, or dealing with long‑term health issues, you might feel ignored at the doctor’s office and unsure who to trust with your health. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with Scott Manduck about how his family slowly moved toward a more self‑directed, holistic approach using diet changes and doTERRA essential oils to help lower inflammation.

Scott does not pretend essential oils are magic. Instead, he shares what actually happened during his family’s 10+ year health journey, why they started questioning “quick fixes,” and how listening to their bodies step by step changed the way they make health decisions.

This episode is for listeners who are curious about natural options but feel overwhelmed by hype, scare tactics, or conflicting advice online. Jimmy and Scott keep the conversation practical, honest, and low‑pressure so you can learn without feeling pushed into anything.

In this episode, you will learn how to:

See essential oils as one tool—not the whole answer—in a self‑directed health plan
Understand inflammation in simple terms and why lowering it can support your brain and body
Explore holistic options like diet and oils at your own pace, without perfectionism
Start advocating for yourself more confidently when doctors are not listening

About the guest – Scott Manduck:
Scott believes “life is a school” and has become an advocate for self‑directed health care and prevention for people around the world. After his family went through major health challenges for more than a decade, he shifted toward a more holistic approach focused on reducing inflammation through diet and doTERRA essential oils.

Is Autism a Gift? Ben Levin on Intense Focus, Communication, and Growing Up Autistic

CrazyFitnessGuy — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 21:00:00 +0000

Many autistic people are told only what is “wrong” with them—social skills, communication, or fitting in—but not what their brains do well. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with author Ben Levin about growing up autistic, his intense focus, and how those traits shaped his love for writing and complex topics like mathematics.

Ben shares honest stories from his life, including what school and family were like, how people reacted to his autism, and how he found confidence in his strengths instead of only hearing about his struggles. Jimmy and Ben gently explore the big question “Is autism a gift or a curse?” in a way that respects real challenges while still naming the real abilities many autistic people have.

They also talk about Ben’s young adult novel “In The Hole,” which follows a boy and his homeless family, and why Ben chose to research and write about homelessness rather than autism directly. This conversation is ideal for autistic and neurodivergent listeners, families, and allies who want a grounded, hopeful look at autistic life—not a cured or inspirational stereotype.

Key take‑aways from the episode:

Different ways to think about the question “Is autism a gift?”
What growing up autistic was like for Ben in everyday life
How intense focus and special interests can become strengths
The story behind Ben’s book “In The Hole” and why he wrote it

About the guest – Ben Levin:
Ben has always loved to write, and “In The Hole” is his first young adult novel published through a traditional publishing house. While Ben is autistic, he chose to research and write about homelessness, using his writing to build understanding and empathy for people facing hard situations.

How a realistic, flexible healthy diet can support autistic health and behavior
Ways to teach autistic kids to eat healthier without constant battles or power struggles

Leadership for Misfit Brains: Coaching Insights with Joann Tierney‑Daniels & 1 Habit of Great Leaders

CrazyFitnessGuy — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 17:00:00 +0000

Traditional leadership advice often assumes you are extroverted, “naturally confident,” and fit the typical corporate mold—which leaves autistic and neurodivergent people feeling like leadership is not for them. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with executive coach and author Joann Tierney‑Daniels about more inclusive, human leadership and her book “1 Habit of the World’s Greatest Leaders.”

Joann draws on her background in community and human services, wellness, and leadership to share how small, consistent habits can help anyone grow as a leader—even if they feel awkward, anxious, or out of place in traditional spaces. Jimmy and Joann explore what leadership can look like for “misfit brains,” how personal coaching works in real life, and why diversity in leadership styles makes teams stronger.

This episode is for autistic adults, creatives, and quietly ambitious people who want to lead in their own way without pretending to be someone else. You will get practical ideas you can try right away, whether you are leading a team, a community, or just starting to see yourself as a leader in your own life.

In this episode, you will learn:

What “1 Habit of the World’s Greatest Leaders” is really about and who it is for
How small daily actions can grow your confidence and leadership skills over time
Why leadership is not just for loud, extroverted people
How coaching can support your growth without pushing you to mask or fake it

Why We Boycotted the Golden Globes: Sia’s Music Movie and Harmful Autism Representation

CrazyFitnessGuy — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 14:56:00 +0000

Some people called Sia’s movie “Music” beautiful and inspiring. Many autistic people, including Dina Buno and me, experienced it as harmful, triggering, and unsafe. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, I sit down with Autism Advocate and writer Dina Buno to explain why we refused to watch the film, why we are boycotting the Golden Globes over it, and how dangerous restraint and bad representation can be for autistic people.

We talk honestly about our own lived experiences being restrained growing up autistic and why seeing restraint portrayed the way it is in “Music” is not just “art”—it brings back real trauma. We also unpack what respectful representation could look like instead, and why the autism community’s concerns were ignored when awards season rolled around.

This episode is for autistic people, families, and allies who want to understand why so many of us said “no” to this movie, even when the media tried to praise it. Our goal is not to attack individuals, but to protect our community, push for safer media, and remind listeners that their feelings and boundaries around harmful content are valid.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why Dina and I personally chose not to see Sia’s “Music” movie
Our stories about being restrained as autistic kids and how it still affects us
Why we decided to boycott the Golden Globes over this film and its nominations
What better, safer autism representation in movies and TV could look like

In this episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with women’s empowerment coach Kerri Lonny about gentle, realistic ways to shift your self‑talk and stop letting old stories run your life.

Together, Jimmy and Kerri explore how mindset work connects with personal values, goal‑setting, and building a life that actually fits your brain and nervous system instead of fighting against it.

What limiting beliefs are and how they quietly shape everyday decisions

CrazyFitnessGuy — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000

If you are a special needs parent, you probably hear “take care of yourself” all the time—but no one explains how to do that when you are already exhausted. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with Daisy V about realistic self care for special needs families, including how to involve your kids and why she turned to nutrigenomics to support her son’s health.

Daisy shares her story of raising a son with a degenerative disease called MPS VI, what pushed her to learn about health, biohacking, and nutrigenomics, and how she slowly began taking her own energy and well‑being seriously. Together, Jimmy and Daisy focus on small, doable steps—rather than perfect routines—so parents can start feeling a little better without adding more pressure to their day.

This episode is especially helpful for moms who feel guilty taking any time for themselves or who are curious about nutrigenomics but overwhelmed by the science. You will hear honest encouragement, gentle mindset shifts, and practical ideas you can test in your own home.

In this episode, you will learn:

What self care can look like for special needs parents who are already stretched thin
Simple self care ideas you can do with your kids so they learn to care for themselves too
What nutrigenomics is and how Daisy uses it to support her son and family
How to start taking your health, energy, and sense of control back one small step at a time

Patricia shares how she went from cancer treatment to slowly building a daily running habit, and how that movement helped her process fear, rebuild strength, and reconnect with her life. Jimmy and Patricia talk about the science‑backed benefits of regular running for stress, mood, and confidence, and how to start in a way that respects your current limits, pain levels, sensory needs, and energy.

This episode is for autistic, sensitive, and overwhelmed listeners who want the mental health benefits of movement but feel pushed away by toxic fitness culture and “no excuses” messaging. You will hear calm, low‑pressure ideas you can adapt whether you are ready to run, prefer walking, or just want to add a bit more gentle movement into your days.

In this episode, you will learn:

Key health and mental health benefits of daily running or walking
How movement can help with stress, anxiety, mood, and overall resilience
Gentle tips for making daily running or walking a sustainable, flexible habit
Encouragement to start where you are, even if you are recovering from illness or burnout

About the guest – Patricia Prince:
Patricia Prince is a cancer survivor who shares her story of how she began running and eventually started her own business. She is the founder of PinkRibbonRunner and shows how movement, community, and purpose can grow out of a very hard season.

What Luke’s path into professional writing actually looked like

Practical writing tips from a working author you can start using right away
A grounded answer to “Can you really make a living as a writer?”
