Unlocking With Adam Pike

CRINGE NOW, GRATEFUL LATER!

This week’s Mental Monday hit different. I came across an old video about losing yourself and honestly, it still hit me today. Then I found my first ever recipe video… and yeah, it was rough. But looking back, it reminded me of something we all forget sometimes:You don’t need to change everything around you to feel happy again. You just need to keep showing up for yourself.Let’s dive into this one.

HAVING 50 TABS OPENED IN YOUR BRAIN: The reality of always being "ON"

Ever feel like your mind never shuts off like you’re constantly flipping between work, goals, content ideas, conversations, and that one email you still haven’t answered? In this episode, I open up about what it’s like living with a brain that’s always on, even when the world’s quiet. It’s about the pressure of being your own everything your editor, your brand manager, your motivator and the toll it takes when “doing everything right” still leaves you feeling off.This isn’t about burnout it’s about awareness. About catching yourself in the chaos long enough to remember who you actually are underneath all the noise.

SELF SABOTAGING, OVERTHINKING, AND SECOND GUESSING...FOR WHAT?

You ever catch yourself in that weird headspace where everything’s actually going good… but your brain still finds a reason to panic?You’re working hard, things are moving in the right direction, and for a second you feel proud until that voice kicks in and starts saying, “Careful, don’t slow down… this could all disappear.”This week’s episode of Mental Monday is about that constant battle between pride and pressure when you’re doing everything right but your mind keeps telling you it’s not enough.I talk about how easy it is to start overthinking, self-sabotaging, and doubting the progress you’ve already made and how one off day or small setback can trick you into forgetting just how far you’ve come.This one’s for anyone who’s been stuck in their own head lately feeling like they need to keep proving themselves just to stay afloat.Because the truth is, you’re probably doing way better than you think you are.So take a breath, stop second-guessing yourself, and let’s talk about it.

IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING.....WHAT ARE YOU REALLY DOING?

In this episode, I get real about how staying stuck almost cost me everything from my relationship to a better life. I share what happened when I started showing up differently, how growth changed the way I connect with people, and why evolving as a person opened doors in ways I never imagined. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on repeat, this one’s for you.

THAT VOICE IN YOUR HEAD IS FULL OF S**T!!

This summer was the first time I ever took 16–17 days straight off the gym… and honestly? I thought I’d hate it. The old me would’ve been ripping myself apart, stressing about every meal, and feeling like I’d lost all my progress. But this year was different.I realized something huge: you don’t need to be “locked in” 365 days a year to be healthy, happy, or successful. One workout. One pump. A few good meals. That’s all it takes to feel like you’re back on track.In this episode, I share what I’ve learned about letting go of guilt, enjoying life, and why balance matters way more than perfection. If you’ve ever beat yourself up for skipping workouts, eating out, or just living life — this one’s for you.🎧 Tune in for some real talk, a little Monday motivation, and a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.
