Small Steps, Real Momentum: Rethinking Motivation with Loren Michaels‑Harris (Trailer)
In this autistic-led trailer for The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare offers a calm preview of “Small Steps, Real Momentum,” his conversation with coach and speaker Loren Michaels‑Harris about motivation that actually fits tired, overwhelmed brains. Instead of chasing “secrets of success” or hustle‑culture hype, this short episode focuses on gentle, realistic motivation for autistic and neurodivergent adults who still care about growth but are exhausted by pressure and comparison.
This trailer is made for listeners who want to move forward without pretending to be high‑energy all the time. Jimmy and Loren give a quick glimpse of how purpose, self‑compassion, and tiny next steps can slowly build real momentum in everyday life.
In this trailer, listeners will hear hints of:
Why “try harder” is bad advice for already overloaded minds
How Loren thinks about motivation in a kinder, more sustainable way
Simple, non‑intimidating steps to get unstuck
A more honest, autistic‑friendly view of what success can look like

.org. I didn't set out to be a motivational speaker.
00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:50.060
I thought I was, and nothing was happening. I
00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:51.719
wasn't pulling the trigger on it. I was just
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.299
talking about it. And then my husband, who was
00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:58.560
not my husband then, but was a good friend. And
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.119
gave me a book about how to do it. And I have
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.799
that book on my nightstand upstairs right now
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:05.920
in our bedroom, and I have yet to ever read it.
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:09.019
Not even the first page. But I keep it there
00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:12.040
because it's a reminder to me that it wasn't
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.579
it was never about the contents inside of a book.
00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:18.099
But it was always about the contents inside of
00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:21.680
my story. And all I had to do was give that heart
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.040
that was underneath all my scars that wrote the
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.890
story. I gave that heart permission to be one
00:01:27.890 --> 00:01:31.549
time. And today that night has become my Goldcast
00:01:31.549 --> 00:01:35.170
video, which is over 22 million views. So you
00:01:35.170 --> 00:01:39.030
take it for whatever it says to you. And I invite
00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:42.370
anyone watching this to do that because I didn't
00:01:42.370 --> 00:01:46.849
have some grand plan. I didn't have some moment
00:01:46.849 --> 00:01:50.469
where it was like I was walking along and a piece
00:01:50.469 --> 00:01:52.590
of an airplane fell out of the sky and hit me
00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:56.230
in the head. And I was like, ah. you know and
00:01:56.230 --> 00:01:58.629
nothing like that nothing that that exciting
00:01:58.629 --> 00:02:02.909
it was just a moment of risking vulnerability
00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:07.730
in exchange for hopefully a moment of being seen
00:02:07.730 --> 00:02:12.090
and the trade -off ended up being something that
00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:14.629
i could have never expected and it's changed
00:02:14.629 --> 00:02:16.750
my life and here i am almost six years later
