Start Before You're Ready

Host Kelly Young welcomes fellow fitness leader Jill Rooks for a motivating and heartfelt conversation centered on intuition, energy, and the art of building supportive fitness communities.

Kelly and Jill reflect on their parallel paths as studio owners—Kelly at Inergy in Northern Virginia, and Jill at The Energy Lab in Southern California—and how trusting their own instincts while staying attuned to the evolving needs of their communities has shaped their journeys and purpose.

Jill opens up about the experience of personal loss and how it became a driving force behind her mission to create a welcoming, healing space for others. She shares practical advice on making meditation more approachable—encouraging listeners to think of it as simple, everyday pauses rather than something intimidating or formal.

Together, Kelly and Jill explore strategies for building resilient, compassionate communities that uplift and care for one another during life’s challenges.

Takeaways:

• The role of intuition in leadership and personal growth

• Transforming grief into purpose

• Meditation as an everyday mindful moment

• Creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and energized

• How to foster community resilience through connection and care

This inspiring episode highlights the strength found in following your inner guide, nurturing both energy and empathy, and intentionally shaping communities that support mind and body.
