Raff's Brain #150: Hot Yoga Problems - Ready is a Decision!

Rob Raffety

In today’s brutally honest and sweaty episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob recounts a humbling Yoga Sculpt class that nearly broke him—but may have kickstarted something bigger. From a CVS gum haul to a philosophical exploration of free will, this episode is about more than fitness—it's about deciding to show up, even when it sucks. With a new trainer, a new mindset, and a hard-hitting mantra (“Ready is not a thought. Ready is a decision”), Rob takes listeners into the heart of his health renaissance. Bonus: details on his upcoming one-man show and why Friday workouts might become sacred.

Outline:

  • Kicking off with chaos: school buses, sun glare, and yoga aftermath
  • Yoga Sculpt redefined: not yoga, but maybe salvation
  • Gum, CVS, and the seductive power of yellow sale stickers
  • Reconnecting with personal trainer Zachariah Lawson
  • Committing to a healthier future: nutrition, exercise, accountability
  • A mantra worth stealing: “Ready is a decision”
  • Fear, regret, and why doing the hard thing matters
  • Humor in humility: being the weakest in the room
  • Looking ahead: weekend yoga and one-man show vibes
  • Orbit gum as post-yoga nectar and unofficial sponsor
