Show Me Your Circle & I’ll Show You Your Results
In this episode of the Get Sculpted podcast, we reveal how friends influence your life, change your habits, & determine your transformation success.
Ever wondered how friends influence your life in ways you might not even realize? "I'll just have one more glass of wine," you tell yourself at dinner, even though you promised to hit the gym early tomorrow...until you notice your friend quietly declining a refill to stay aligned with her goals.
Remember that saying about being the average of the five people you spend the most time with? We've witnessed this powerful truth transform hundreds of women who struggled alone for years before finding their tribe. But what would happen if you deliberately surrounded yourself with people who pulled you toward growth instead of comfort?
In today's episode, we're diving deep into why your environment is crucial for creating sustainable results. We'll unpack how to recognize when your circle might be holding you back, how to create relationships that call you higher, and why community is the secret weapon that accelerates your transformation.
Here’s what we cover:
The shocking truth about how your five closest friends are silently programming your fitness habits and mindset, for better or worse.
A revealing self-assessment to identify whether someone in your circle is secretly draining your transformation energy.
The delicate conversation no one wants to have: what to do when your partner becomes your biggest roadblock to health.
Why most women feel like "lone wolves" in their fitness journey, and the unexpected solution that changes everything.
The corporate environment trap that's sabotaging your health goals (and why your job is never actually "on the line").
Your circle isn't just influencing your Friday night plan; it's determining your Monday morning motivation, your Wednesday workout commitment, and ultimately, the version of yourself you're becoming. The right community can accelerate your transformation in ways no diet or training plan ever will.
So whether you like it or not, the people you're surrounding yourself with right now are shaping the you that you're becoming.

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
This episode breaks down why that’s not just a cute Pinterest quote—it’s your reality.
If you’re serious about becoming the fittest, strongest, and most aligned version of you (your 2.0 self), you need to take a hard look at your circle.
Is Your Circle Fueling You—or Draining You?
Your environment is shaping you—whether you realize it or not.If you're constantly surrounded by…
People who criticize your healthy choices
Friends who push you to “just have the drink”
Co-workers who bond through burnout
Or even a partner who isn’t aligned with your goals
…it’s no wonder you’re feeling stuck.
That circle might not be toxic—but it could be too comfortable.
And comfort doesn't spark transformation.
Red Flags to Watch For
Not sure if your circle is holding you back? These are your clues:Constant negativity or gossip
Being called “obsessed” for having goals
Being peer-pressured to self-sabotage
Feeling like you have to shrink to fit in
Living for “girls’ night” over showing up for your goals
Sometimes it's subtle.
Sometimes it’s a Nutella sandwich waved in your face during peak prep week (yep, we’ve been there).
But either way—it makes the path harder when it doesn't have to be.
Here's the Truth
Not everyone in your life is on the same journey as you.And that’s okay.
But you have to choose to surround yourself with people who elevate your energy, your standards, and your results.
What the Right Circle Looks Like
When you’re surrounded by women who are:Lifting weights
Eating high-protein meals
Prioritizing recovery
Calling you higher, not keeping you comfortable
…you stop feeling “weird” for making different choices.
You start thriving.
Their momentum becomes your motivation.
Their consistency becomes your standard.
Their belief in you becomes your own.
Real Talk: You Can Borrow Belief Until You Build Your Own
Until you can fully see your 2.0 self—borrow the vision from women who are already living it.That’s why we created the Get Sculpted community.
It’s not fluff. It’s not hype. And it’s not a gimmick.
It’s the real deal—and it’s filled with the kindest, most supportive women on the Internet.
(Seriously—we dare you to post an intro in our group and not get 20+ comments cheering you on.)
Client Wins That Prove It
The woman who said she’d never been supported by other women—until nowThe clients who’ve met through the community and become real-life besties
The new mom who finally prioritized herself because she felt seen in our circle
The corporate leader who stopped people-pleasing and started setting boundaries
This isn’t just about macros and workouts.
This is about becoming the version of yourself who doesn’t shrink to fit—but expands into her power.
