Episode 049 – The Unfiltered Trainer Podcast
What does it really look like to chase big goals, create content that connects, and stay grounded in the chaos of the social media world? In this powerful episode of The Unfiltered Trainer, I sat down with the inspiring Anyssa Grant—a full-time Social Media Manager, Content Creator, and Pacer for Off Balanced Run Club—to talk about faith, hustle, and the mindset that keeps her pushing toward the finish line.
The Realities of Life Behind the Feed
While so many people romanticize social media work, Anyssa keeps it real: from endless editing to burnout, staying creative while honoring your mental health isn’t always easy. She shares what it’s like managing content for brands while also showing up authentically in her own space—and how she balances her 9-5 with her own passion projects.
“People don’t see the hours behind the 30-second Reel,” Anyssa says. “But I love what I do—especially when it connects with someone who needed to hear it.”
Running as Ritual and Resilience
For Anyssa, running isn’t just fitness—it’s fuel. As a pacer for Off Balanced Run Club, she’s found a powerful way to connect with her body, her community, and her purpose. We talk about how movement can clear your head, reignite your energy, and keep you grounded—especially when you’re juggling high-pressure creative work.
Running became her reset—a space to release, reflect, and remember her why.
Faith First, Always
In a world that praises hustle, Anyssa’s foundation is rooted in faith. She opens up about how spirituality helps her manage stress, set boundaries, and keep perspective when things feel overwhelming. Her relationship with God is what keeps her aligned—and she reminds us that inner peace can be the ultimate game changer when chasing ambitious goals.
“God’s timing is always better than mine. Even when I don’t see it at first, I trust He’s aligning what’s meant for me.”
Looking Ahead: 2025 Vision
Anyssa isn’t slowing down anytime soon. From future brand partnerships to expanding her own creative projects, she shares her big goals for 2025—including building more community, embracing bolder content, and elevating her personal brand. Her vision is clear: keep creating, keep connecting, and keep showing up—imperfectly and powerfully.
Final Takeaway: Keep Moving Forward
Whether you’re in the creative space, a wellness entrepreneur, or someone simply trying to find your rhythm, this episode reminds us that success doesn’t come from doing it all—it comes from doing what aligns. Anyssa’s story is proof that with faith, intention, and relentless hustle, the finish line isn’t just possible—it’s powerful.
