And you know, part of that with my affair and just the remnants of that, the consequences long term to some of the mistakes I've made. And that's hard. It's hard to hear certain things. It's hard to not want to just curl into a ball and not show up for myself during those times. But I'm hoping that I can be as raw and vulnerable and helpful to those of you that are either, one, for the first time listening in, or you've been with me through this road. Like, you guys are awesome, y'all. And I hope that I can just share as much of me with you over this next season just to really help you level up as I'm doing myself. Amy Ledin  0:43  What are you doing to create your dream life or your best self? Why do we see some thrive through challenges while others struggle? Welcome to F* It!, a podcast where I talk about the main Fs in my life that have helped me in creating my best self: faith, family, forgiveness, food, fitness, and formula. Hi, my name is Amy Ledin and most would say that I've had my fair share of struggles, whether it was placing my baby for adoption at 18, facing my marriage-ending affair, or battling stage four cancer for almost seven years, it's safe to say that I've been through a lot. Join me as I take you through my story, my journeys, and share with you the tactical strategies every single week that will help you thrive and overcome anything you face. That's right, I'm going to show you how to create a future self that you'll be proud of. So buckle up, get ready for the ride as I take you through my story and bring other guests on that have helped me along the way. Amy Ledin  1:36  We are back in Canada. Yes, you heard that right, we are back, meaning my family, myself, we are back in Canada. So what better time to kind of break the ice, no pun intended, although I am freezing, to launch a new season, call it a new chapter. And you know, those of you that do follow me on social, you know that we have moved back to Canada. So what better place then to come here to those of you that have followed me through this journey? And if you haven't, if this is day one, and you're like, I want to just get the scoop on what's going on. Awesome. But we, to give you a little bit of a recap, okay, I will consider the first chapter, that first season, you know, was when I launched this podcast, back during COVID, I didn't have a clue about podcasting. I was in the middle of battling cancer, but I just knew that I had a bigger purpose, a bigger mission. And I just wanted to share all of that with you when we were just so many of us feeling so out of control during that time.   Amy Ledin  2:41  And then, of course, if you did follow along, we moved to Florida, lived there for about two and a half years, with it being me and my two daughters, Kamele and Leilani. And just doing that with them for six months and the impact it had on me, our family was torn apart during that time, it was, it was some hard times, but at the same time, there were so many blessings that came out of being in Florida. And, this was a time that when we came back, I wanted to kind of explain because when we went down to Florida, again, if you followed along, I was going down for lung surgery, by way of miracle ended up not needing to have lung surgery after already prepping and being there for it. And going through that then moving to the West Palm Beach area, we lived in Palm City at first and then moving to Loxahatchee, living out in the country and I'm sure if people look at your highlight reel, it looks like it's amazing. And while there were so many blessings, and I'm definitely missing Florida, by living there, you know our family was torn apart. My oldest son, Kainoa, was still up here in Canada. And you know what, maybe, people don't see on the outside, again, this is where these highlight reels can be so deceiving is everything looks great. But you know, meanwhile, it was really, really hard to not have our family altogether. And I had come up to Canada at one point and Kai expressed that to me. And then I started to reimagine, like his viewpoint of us leaving Canada and what that does to someone and you know, I felt like maybe he kind of felt like we were abandoning him, like just in our small seven-year-old self like you could maybe deal with some abandonment issues and knowing also the history there with Kai I have shared on here his first love first girlfriend from high school had committed suicide a few months after they were already broken up. But nonetheless, you know, he was so closed and devastated by that. So I knew he'd had a series of, you know, things that have come up that I wanted to, if possible, make that happen and all of us be together as a family again. Amy Ledin  5:05  And then coupled with immigration issues. I mean, let's just be real here, I never want to not address that. But with Erik being Canadian and me American, we were wanting to have him get his visa and do that, and the process is much longer and much more in-depth than we have expected. And in the process, and this gets cut, there's two ways to do it. But the way that we were doing it, you know, there's two like tracks you can follow, but you're really not legally allowed to work in the U.S. while waiting for your visa it just says, when I moved to Canada, I was not allowed to work in Canada as a Canadian employee because the system sees that as you taking away a job from a Canadian that could have that job. And it goes the same in the U.S. and you have to be really careful about that. We have an online company, and we knew that that was probably kind of a gray area. But Erik was going back and forth and up in Canada quite a bit. But one time, just all it takes is one border guard not being in a great mood that day. And he took Erik in for questioning and asked all sorts of stuff and told him that, hey, doesn't matter, you know you're not really supposed to be working in the U.S. and stamped his passport basically saying that he had 30 days at a time to be down there.   Amy Ledin  6:21  So we knew until things like we could get that permanent visa or anything like that, we knew that that was not going to be an option to be there, coupled with just the primary reason of our family not being together. Erik's mom was up here in a nursing home and just being away and missing that was like, if we had the opportunity, we would. While we were up in Canada, actually at on a visit last summer, and I was getting ready to come back down and Erik was like, well, I mean, we found a place here, which we had looked at a few because keep in mind, we do have five kids and they all really do need their own bedrooms. They're at an age where I mean, I've got two older ones. And then you know, the three little ones that we knew what our needs were, and we wanted to come back to having those needs met. But also like, it was a pretty steep list there of like, well, I want this and I want a walk-out basement and I want this and that. And well, we ended up finding it, we took a walk through and we're like, oh my goodness, like this, this checks all the boxes in terms of like this can happen. And Erik's like, yeah, but we still have a house down there that we need to figure out. And, just put it this way, there was nothing other than God's timing to make this happen for us in that we pretty much got the timeline we wanted on the home, able to make everything you know, as smooth as it could possibly be with moving back to another country. And we just knew that then this was even if it's for a season, because like I said, Erik, Erik and I, we're mourning Florida, you know, sun and warmth and all that, one, it's just better on cancer, chemo, all of that. But it's also just, it's a happy place for me. Growing up in Hawaii, I just really relate a lot to the blue skies, and just warmth. You know, I just, I'm a pretty cold person. But we really missed it. And I had a lot of, as I said, a lot of positive things that I experienced in Florida, so, but we knew this was checking the boxes and we knew that it just was it was God sending us back.   Amy Ledin  8:25  So that is us now back. And this is why I wanted to launch this third season because we're now in the middle of it. You know, I took off the first couple months getting up here to Canada to not do any podcasting. I know, it's been four months since I've put out an episode, but I will say it will be worth the wait. You know, because I've got some fantastic guests, I'm talking dream guests, I've got Nicole LePera, holistic psychologist, is coming on. We're gonna really do a deep dive into emotional immaturity, something I've talked about on here and something that I'm sure that 90% of you parents are guilty of. And it's, I used to say, oh my gosh, emotionally immature, I am not, but I've learned I am and I'm working through it and I've been doing the therapy and the works. So I'm excited to bring that to you.   Amy Ledin  9:15  But you know, we are back in Canada, our family is all together under one roof. But we've also found a new church home here, which, these are just some of the things that I know over this next chapter, this next season, I plan to bring to you because it has been a rough few months where habits of mine that I'd had for you know, months, years, I struggled to do them I struggled to do my daily agreement cards. You know, I felt like we were just going through so much with the move and you know, with a lot. But through that, we're also in our second year of homeschool with the kids. So we started homeschooling last year keep in mind we still run a business, add to what we were moving, there now, but you realize oh my gosh, we're moving it was it was tough, but the kids crushed it and they are now in their second year and we're feeling like we're getting into a stride.   Amy Ledin  10:08  My cancer, I'm now at 16 months in remission, my next scans, which I am already expecting, they will come back clear, this will mean it will be the longest time I've stayed in remission in the 10-plus years. So it's just a huge monument for me there. But you know, we've also had some hardships. As soon as we got back to Canada within a few weeks of being here, Erik's mom passed away, I actually will have a special episode just a tribute to her that I had already recorded and taken notes for because I really wanted to stay present in how I felt during that time. Because us getting back here, the timing, again, just even us finding the home here, and then having the timing of us at least being able to be back here for her passing was nothing more than nothing, it was nothing less than knowing for a fact that God's hand and God's timing, just had a part of it. And so I will have an episode all about that.   Amy Ledin  11:10  But you know, now this new season, you're gonna see episodes focusing on a healthy family, focusing on mental health, addressing some of the old skeletons that have come up. We took a family vacation and things come up sometimes when we're having conversations and I realized that I have more work to do more hard conversations with my kids. I have never been shy to not share everything here. And, you know, part of that with my affair, and just the, the remnants of that, the consequences long term to some of the mistakes I've made. And that's hard, it's hard to hear certain things, it's hard to not want to just curl into a ball and not show up for myself during those times. But I'm hoping that I can be as raw and vulnerable and helpful to those of you that are either one, for the first time listening in, or you've been with me through this road. Like, you guys are awesome, y'all. And I hope that I can just share as much of me with you over this next season just to really help you level up as I'm doing myself.   Amy Ledin  12:19  So with that, I'm excited. I'm going to be launching two episodes a week, I promise you this will, this break will be much worth it. We will be bringing a video. Yes, that's video, I have a whole podcast studio that is in the works right now. So we will have camera set up all the time because we are going to be launching this on YouTube as well. I just want to thank you all for just being here around for the past three years and still going strong. So I'm excited for this new season, new chapter and like I said two a week one will be interview style and one will be the solo ones just like this. All right. Have a good one. Can't wait to see you on the next one. Amy Ledin  13:02  Okay, I'm on a mission. As you know, if you've been following along, I have a goal to be at top 100 podcasts. And it's less about that top 100 and more about I want to make an impact. I want more people to hear F* It! and learn from all of the mistakes that I've made, along with me bringing on really special guests for you. So my ask here is this.

Why do we see some thrive through challenges while others struggle? Welcome to Fett, a podcast where I talk about the main FS in my life that have helped me in creating my best self faith, family, forgiveness, food, fitness, and formula. Hi. My name is Amy Ledin, and most would say that I've had my fair share of struggles, whether it was placing my baby for adoption at 18, facing my marriage ending affair, or battling stage four cancer for almost seven years.It's safe to say that I've been through a lot. Join me as I take you through my story, my journeys, and share with you the tactical strategies every single week that will help you thrive and overcome anything you face. That's right. I'm gonna show you how to create a future self that you'll be. So buckle up, get ready for the ride as I take you through my story and bring other guests on that have helped me along the way.I cannot believe the day came, but I had to come on the podcast and unpack it here and just kind of go over my big, huge loss after 556 days. That's right, 556 days of a streak.  and I broke it. This was, so I have two big, long going streaks right now. I mean, I have other ones that are, you know, probably close to like a hundred days, but nothing like my water streak and my.activity streak. So I have, you know, my activity one is that I have to do no less than 20 minutes of activity every day of my life. Like whether this is stretching or, you know, ideally movement. I'd say 95% of the times, 99% of the time, this is me walking. But, um, I wanted to put, you know, any type of activity because there's been times where I have had.You know, um, minor surgeries or things like that. And so stretching or things just to get that in and see the power of my activity. And then my other long going one, which is still going, is my one gallon of plain water, you know. Um, it's been going now for, you know, I 500 and, let's see, probably 65 days now, but getting up here to Canada, um, I did a podcast, just I think the most recent one where, you know, I was struggling.It's been a struggle. It was a challenge and. So I wanted to share this because there's many times, you know, when we break our promises to ourselves in that, honestly it's just a slip of, you know, we forget, it's not maybe a, a habit yet that we've invested in. And so it's not, we're not on autopilot. And then other times it may be out of our control, you know?But then there's these times where, , we, we know we should do it, but we don't. And so I always like to dive into that as to, you know, why we don't, you know, for me, um, if I'm reflecting, you know, I, uh, was, I, I could have gone, I hate the cold here, as you know, we're in Canada and we got up here and it was, uh, still winter and the cold just makes me miserable, but it's not like I haven't done it before.So, you know, I could have, you know, put on a bunch of layers and gone out, but, The reality was I was already in a head space where I was not feeling good about myself. Whether it was I was feeling sorry for myself or you know, whatever it may be, I was not feeling good. And when we do not feel good about ourselves, we just don't show up for ourselves.Because the truth is when I got into bed that night, you know, cuz someone would be like, how could you forget? Well, I had put it off all day because I hate the cold and, you know, um, wasn't feeling good. I wasn't really happy with our situation here and you know, just again, feeling sorry for myself, whatever.Um, but. I got in bed and so it's already late and I'm like, oh my gosh, I didn't walk. Now I could have, I'm totally capable of, you know, bundling up and going out. I really technically at that point, should have just even gotten on the floor and stretched. , but I didn't want to, I mean, that's the reality. I was like, I don't want to, I was fighting my best self and you know, my best self didn't win.You know, the next morning I was obviously very upset and you know, at first Eric's like, you know, I don't think it's good. Be this upset over it. And I'm like, I disagree because I feel like anything that you are striving or chasing, you know, you're striving for or chasing like, like this, it has to sting a little bit.If you don't get it, you know? It was a motto that Craig Valentine used, which was high intention, low attachment. I mean, that's your goal is you wanna have like all the intention to be winning and the low attachment in that, you know, hey, you don't want it to like make you stay down in the lull. Forever.And so that's kind of the key. But I do believe that it should burn. It should stink. You know, my kids almost cried for me because they know how much, you know, I, I keep my streaks and you know, I like that. I like that I'm invested into it. I like that it hurt, you know, but the key is, Hurt only to the point where I don't stay in this shame or guilt place, and that causes me to not wanna show up for myself again.You know, I will say there's an art to that in that I've had a lot of losses over the last several years of tracking DACs that has helped me to. Be okay with. Okay, well tomorrow is another day and I can get right back on. You know, sucky thing about having a long streak like this, I'll be honest, is I don't hit a new, a new place for another couple years and that sounds crazy.And hey, You don't need to be tracking these things. This is just, I, I'm, I'm, my brain works well on gamification and I do love the power of seeing this, and this has been something that has pulled me along to make sure I get activity in. The cool thing is I know that this is a lifestyle habit for me, so I got right back on and I'm tracking it again and really trying to even show my children the power of.You know what? Yeah, it sucked and I was, I was bummed about it and stuff, but I got right back on, started tracking again because I'm confident that I will, you know, beat it again. So if you are someone that, you know, maybe you've had that loss and maybe you stay down in the dumps longer, you know, this is your reminder that, you know, failing and, and losing and having these things can really be turned into learning opportunities.And I don't think it's a bad thing if you. Are hurt by the loss and you feel sad about it or you're upset. I just think it's important to find that fine line between staying in the dumps and shaming yourself and having this condemnation. Don't shame yourself in that way instead of like conviction in that.Yep. , I, you know what? I need to show up for myself and this is how I do it and I'm gonna get right back on. So bummed about it, but hey, you know what? I'm continuing with my water streak. I'm right back on the walking one and you know, I've got a couple others that are in the hundreds. So I hope you are, uh, tracking your wins.There's a big power in that. And you know, one of the apps I use, I mentioned a lot on here, is Streaks. It is a paid app. I think I paid like five bucks for it, but it will track up. 18 of your habits. It even will track the timing. You know, like if you go and track it right away, like how often do you perform this habit at this time, or, you know, it gives you your streaks, it gives you like, you know, just everything, all the data on it.It's pretty awesome if you really like to, uh, gamify your things and I just hope you're having a great week and things are much better in Canada. Have more content up soon.Okay. I'm on a mission, as you know, if you've been following along, I have a goal to be a top 100 podcast, and it's less about that top 100 and more about, I wanna make an impact. I want more people to hear effort and learn from all the mistakes that I've made along with me bringing on really special guests for you.So my ask here, I want you to screenshot this episode today and share it on your social media.

Delayed gratification, also referred to as deferred gratification, is often difficult because we're wired not just to seek pleasure but also to avoid pain. Two separate sections of your brain handle pleasure and pain, so this is where it can get challenging. Delayed gratification is challenging. But there are several benefits to not succumbing to an immediate reward. Better health, improved self-worth and overall long-term success with goal setting are just a few. Listen in as I share 4 ways to delay gratification. Get the book "The Marshmallow Test: Why Self-Control Is the Engine of Success" by renowned psychologist Walter Mischel YouTube video of The Marshmallow Test (1970) by Walter Mischel, a professor of psychology at Stanford University, and his graduate student, Ebbe Ebbesen If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox. Sign up for the next Follow-Through Challenge Follow me on Social Media:Amy on IGAmy on Facebook Resources:AmyLedin.comLean Bodies Consulting (LBC)LBC University

We spend so much time talking about fat loss and dieting, that most people just expect the other side of getting to their goal as the easy part, which is not true. Stats show that 95% of people gain their weight back within 3-5 years. This would confirm that where people struggle the most- keeping off the weight thus never needing to diet again. This is not talked about enough. And something I plan to talk about more and more as I see less and less women have lasting change in that they keep it off forever.  References: Creating Food RulesFollow-Through Challenge If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox. Sign up for the next DAC Bootcamp Follow me on Social Media:Amy on IGAmy on Facebook Resources:AmyLedin.comLean Bodies Consulting (LBC)LBC University 

He's back! My guess is that you have come from the same era as me in that you have had this idea that cardio is necessary for fat loss. Maybe you have even taken it as far as me where at my peak, I was doing an hour + of cardio just to maintain. When I hired Lean Bodies Consulting 13 years ago, this was an area that Erik really changed the amount I did on a weekly basis. He also taught me that doing more of the popular intense cardio (or crossfit, orange theory, metabolic circuits) actually works against you as you get older. I knew that YOU all need to get an earful like I once did, and jump off the crazy train of doing tons of cardio. Erik dives in with the science behind it all.  References: Escalade vs Honda CivicTo Become an LBC ClientWebsite/ArticlesLean Bodies Consulting on FaceBook If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox. Sign up for the next DAC Bootcamp Follow me on Social Media:Amy on IGAmy on Facebook Resources:AmyLedin.comLean Bodies Consulting (LBC)LBC University
