Project You with Camie Cragg

Dr. Jin a neuroscientist and retired Professor at UC Irvine joined us today for the 120th episode of Project You with Camie Cragg. I really don't want to make this about me but HOLY SMOKES this interview was one of the most profound and relatable talks I have had in a long time. Why? Dr. Jin nurtured my mind and soul through facts of the body, brain, heart which led to an overall health talk. This man touched on topics that I as a fitness enthusiast have been talking about for years minus the medical backing, schooling, and research he has. Sitting there witnessing his giving heart to authentically help people without pushing them down mainstream, traditional-medicine was what was so rewarding! A man who doesn't see you as a number yet a living soul that can be saved, helped, and supported by asking for help, reaching out to know more and being your own advocate!   These kinds of people are very rare which is why I know you will be attracted to what his heart, knowledge and soul must share! If you have any interest in just knowing about the simplicity of who we are originally as humans- hunter gatherers, you will love every minute of this episode.    From breast feeding, thermo dynamics, sleep, anxiety, blue light, obesity, brain, leaky gut, etc this is a raw conversation about LIFE 101 with Dr. Jin.   Xoxo Muah Camie Knapp (Cragg)

Forgiveness means different things to different people. Generally, however, it involves a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you might always be with you, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help free you from the control of the person who harmed you. Tune into today's episode as I guide you through a real story that happened to me moments after our engagement party! It's these moments where I realize, and you might realize, that the devil/evil spirit comes at the times that you least expect them especially when joy is embedded in your heart! It's only because the awakening that I was able to see clearly on what was happening and without a shadow of a doubt I knew my heart was not going to react yet respond in the way my heart felt only because I had forgiven her a long time ago! If I didn't, I truly don't think the blessings would have opened in my life like they did and continue to! Love wins and remember that the act of forgiveness is healthy when it comes to the internal well-being! I don't know that I could have taken any more hurt and pain than I already did- which naturally led me to forgiving her without getting a verbal recognition from the attacker! This act hugely rewarded my health, by lowering the risk of heart attack, improving cholesterol levels, sleep, reducing pain, blood pressure, levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Who are we really, behind the masks we wear on a daily basis?  For wealth manager Ray Gonzalez, it took hitting rock bottom to discover The Real Ray G.     Having built a prolific billion-dollar practice and become a leader in the industry of wealth management, one might have thought that Ray had it all.  At the pinnacle of his 30-year career, Ray couldn't help but feel something big was missing.  Ray quickly realized after meeting his lifelong goal of becoming a millionaire that there is more to life than success-- and how so many of the most important parts of life are missing from the most successful people's lives.   Tune into this insightful conversation between myself and Ray, where we address his inspirational personal transformation story, his three pillars of success (mental, physical, and financial fitness), addressing trauma, and learning to rediscover your authentic self.  Our discussion addresses how Ray and people like him rediscover their inner child and learn to reparent them into happy, successful members of society.     Thank you so much for taking the time out to listen to Project You with Camie Cragg, an audience that continues to grow every single day!

Community is the reason for doing business for Northern Nevada's highest rated lender online, Mike Richardson! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mike Richardson and real estate/mortgage expert Dulce Drakulich to better understand the dynamic of running a business and having the heart to do things for the community while meaning it!    At Bay Equity they understand that your house is a home and not a loan. They know this because they have always been in the business of caring about their customer's journey, and writing their story right alongside their clients. Being on the mic with them, I soon gathered that this wasn't just a well written mission statement, this was the lifestyle they truly live on a day-to-day basis. I believe this is an extraordinary mindset, especially from business owners and experts in a very competitive business. Mike and Dulce started their careers during the Great Recession in 2007, which was fueled by easy credit, insufficient regulation and toxic subprime mortgages.   Tune in to the three of us as they talked business which was very informative, but they spoke more of their "why", their reason and their purpose. I was personally astonished by this internal passion that clearly separates them from the rest in their field! There is a reason why they are the best, and that is because they believe their client is more than a sale. You can feel there is care, love and respect on the other side!    Reno, Nevada is honored to have Mike and Dulce of Bay Equity in their corner! I told them both without people like them, change is hard to come by when it comes to community! People need to care in order to have change and these two care...a lot!    Thank you so much for taking the time out to listen to Project You with Camie Cragg, an audience that continues to grow every single day!

It's been 108 years that we have been celebrating International Women's Day as there was a Socialist Party of America whom gathered in a group of 15,000 women to protest against their long hours work, low pay and lack of voting rights in New York City. This movement got women to think beyond what the norm was and 108 years later we are seeing the creative genius absolutely, SOAR.   In this episode I share some stories of what it meant to me to start my business 17 years ago in a field that was male dominated. The idea to be a pioneer in the health, wellness and fitness industry seemed too scary yet the grit of my soul and tenacity of my heart didn't reject my drive which was to do exactly that- AS I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE- I have the ability to look around to my great girlfriends, my clients, my family, my acquaintances and see how many women have been their own advocate, their own risk taker to become their better self for them, their community, their family, their workplace, etc.    Things we can ask ourselves today as we globally celebrate the drive, the heart and soul of so many women we actually get to ask a sincere question that can only be answered by you_ What makes a great woman? What is special about a woman? What high values of a woman inspires you?  What type of woman do you want to be?   Tune in as we flow from the heart and celebrate the past and plan for the future! 

Basic question, "Why would one be compelled to check in with self?"    Answer: "Checking in with yourself and assessing your needs helps you to pour into yourself so that you can pour into others. Oftentimes, we check on those around us but neglect ourselves. It's beneficial because it can improve your mood, your energy, your relationships with others, and your productivity.   I know it sounds so easy but like I tell my Project C participants, "if it were easy everyone would be doing it!" Which always reminds me of doing things different than what the average would do- or even doing opposite of what you are used to.    Lately it's been my part time job checking in with self. Truly admitting that I needed help. Being aware enough that I deserved to heal. Not to mention being  the action based human who has adopted all these elements really has been difficult yet that is more reason why I do it! Because if it was easy everyone would be healed, happy and feeling the vibe!    I along with YOU deserve to check in and share truth with self which in return will allow us to know ourselves better than any other person in this world- that is kind of exciting right? To be honest don't you know other people like the back of your hand? Can you say that for yourself?  We should know us- we should know others - we should be that devoted to check in because we understand that it matters which will keep us aligned in love rather than self-righteousness or status.    In a quick thirty minutes I hope it's just enough to bring out that light! I hope it's just enough to decide to NOT be the dangers of the end of times!    Let's do and be opposite, individually & collectively.    Xoxo,  Camie Cragg

Todays episode to me is the epitome of authenticity. Opening your heart to others is not always easy but when it happens - its beautiful and raw.   Today a group of women got together to celebrate ourselves, celebrate each other and our shared successes. To spur eachother on and share in love and laughter.   Over snacks and champagne we shared some of our most vulnerable moments, deepest thoughts, and unveiled our truest selves.   Circled around together we also shared some laughter, some tears and bittersweet 'goodbyes' as we said farewell not only to Season 13 of Project C, but also said farewell to our beloved trainer Ashley. It was an honor and privilege to share memories and well wishes to this amazing woman as she moves on to the next season of her life. We will miss you Ash! CCF and Project C won't be the same without you!   Xoxo Camie Cragg 

I literally don't go a day without thinking of this exact moment where this man got on one knee after he decided I'm the chosen one! I'm the one he will consider everyday! Without pushing, forcing, controlling any of the picture perfect situations they happened because it was supposed to happen! The mature self let the authentic self be seen! I clearly didn't know that this was the moment-as @wyattherbst said so perfectly “you didn't know, you were side shuffling to the center of the castle!” I was wearing my back pack, I was ugly crying! This has nothing to do with setting the perfect Instagram social media stage & it never will! That's why I show my ugly cry to my filter European close lip smile . On a serious note though- I thought turning forty was enough to celebrate that day! I thought celebrating our 1 year & a half was enough! I thought being in Europe for the first time together at a castle was enough! . @dan.knapp led with his heart holding the ring till he felt the moment! Because he didn't know- because no one knows unless they feel first! . . He knew my pain but guess what pain is apart of life! He became part of my post pain experience which was re learning- also a huge part of life that will never go away! He became another reason why I love my birthday again! I love the holiday season again! Why I love life again! I had my faith & that's what kept me ticking then came along another soul to captivate my soul on even levels with the light inside of him that shines strong! . . I never ever stopped believing even when I felt I was at the end & it couldn't get any worse I just didn't stop believing! Dan also didn't stop believing in himself! In me or us! The man of poise & character followed his heart! And here we are together engaged- what that means to me today in this mindset- “we are engaged in one another's life equally to enjoy the freedom to be ourselves & enjoy the freedom to be a unit in trust & in love-   . . I share the story about the thought & action behind the ring!

That's the good part of an injury, it strengthens you in many ways- which was a thought I had when I walked towards Dan sitting on the concrete steps outside of the stadium. I didn't know how bad the injury was but I knew that it was something considering his cleat and athletic tape were laying on the dirt and the team was on the field moments away from kickoff. Nothing like this can be foreseen- injury, that is, and for that matter there are many emotions and feelings involved.    Tune in to today's episode to hear about how the game went and how Dan injured himself before the game even started. No matter what the situation is & I still believe forever is "Everything happens for a reason...EHFAR"   XOXO,  Camie Cragg

How exciting I'm recording this podcast from Fredrick-Ludwig- Jahn Sports Stadium here in Berlin Germany getting ready to watch this football game USA vs European All Star Team.     Sitting on the USA media line with my computer, microphone and headphones while watching the production of course this game is also something that I love too! As a business owner I do get kind of obsessed with keeping my eyes out for how things are ran- I keep my eyes open the service, the marketing, etc and being over here has been nothing but invigorating! I have been blessed with not only a week of football but the stories in between it all from the team, the running, the subways, the dinners, the coffee, ugh the list just keeps going on!!!!! Let this be more reason to tune in…. I'm present! I'm excited and attempting to hold it all in!  Love this life by the choice of being in motion and not waiting for life to approach you- but you approaching life without the motion!  It's all a choice and my choice is to put my feet on the ground and GO!!!!!  Cheers from Berlin!  Xoxo  Camie Cragg 

A text from my girlfriend is the tone of my heart over here as I am a living poof of what manifesting your life can prove to you only if you never give up!  She says, “I can't believe you're there for so long! Yes! This is a dream come true. I just keep thinking about our goals- Lululemon goals and visions on my river deck with Sabrina. You wrote about the castles.      I'm doing goals and visions in Nicaragua. People don't understand how REAL it really is!!! Mine is so similar too! So many things are close to what I wrote and have either happened or are happening!!! Write that shit down and manifest it. It's not always easy as it unfolds because the path isn't as we expect it to be … but man, it's awesome when it all aligns!! Sis, I am so proud of you and so incredibly overjoyed for you!!! #fullheart”    It's so real and my opportunity is now to share the depths of what once was a dream, a thought, an idea gosh really a fantasy for a long time till it wasn't! Till it became my reality and because it's my reality it is up to me now to embrace this, engage in this and adore every step! By the power of the mind and tongue along with the believe in the Lord I truly do believe anything is possible! So here is the catch in life! The hidden key among the manifestation of course!!!! The key is there are two rules to follow at all times  Rule #1- Never Give Up  Rule #2- Never forget rule #1    Dive in with me on a few experiences, stories and also opportunities that have presented themselves over here! I'll take these series to reflect, share and a way to always have this time bottled up with you! I have some recommendations on behalf of hotels, restaurants and movies that I hope you can watch soon - they were so touching and really got us in the right mindset on our way over! Germany is beautiful and I'm honored to have this chance to share with you!  What's your dream? What your thought? What is your idea? What is your fantasy? Whatever it is I dare you to write in down, label it, believe it and never give up on it! Like Dre said- “write that shit down! It's more real than you think!”    Xoxo  Camie Cragg 

The secret to manifesting what you want is to get in alignment with what you want- to feel as though It is already here.    The day has come where I and maybe even you can look back and see the power of manifestation! We can only do that if we have a timeline or in better worlds something to measure. For me this opportunity of recognizing the desires of my heart all the way back to fifth grade has lead me to the present moment which is witnessing one of my biggest dreams come true and what profound experience it's been!    Ideas are no longer a “long shot” type of thought instead ideas are possible through the dedication of the power of manifestation and action based motions to never give up on that thought, ever!    Well the time has come to reveal my two biggest dreams!  One: back in fifth grade I immersed myself in my social studies class report on whatever country we decided at the time. I choose Belgium. From that moment that I turned in my report and did my presentation I had fallen in love with Brussels and surrounding cities in Belgium, so much that I promised myself I would stand foot on that land inside castles between 30-40 years old.  Two: being with Dan Knapp for the past year and a half on October 6, 2021 which is also my 40th birthday I have had one major wish and that was to be able to have had watched him play football. I didn't think this was ever going to happen again yet by the grace of God he has been invited to represent U.S.A vs Germany October 3, 2021 in Berlin.    Basic advice- dreams do come true! They come true because you never give up on them! You manifest them and you act as if it's already happened without any constraints or restrictions. Believe in your ideas and thoughts before you even see them!    Tune in to hear the depths of these two dreams as I'll be recording over in Western Europe happily to share the experiences that I see as being some of the most eye opening and life altering!    Xoxo  Camie Cragg

After living in heartache or even living through a year of Covid all it takes is one magical experience to bring you back to a safe, pure and humbled place. Project You with Camie Cragg are just stories, opportunites and experiences in my world in 100% hopes to ignite something in you to honor, love and embrace your journey just as much. The one chance we get is TODAY- so cliche yet very true! We all live or have lived in pain. We all have had a rough go. We all have lived together recently through a global pandemic yet nothing can truly hold us down unless we allow it!    This is our new truth! The truth to embody the experience that has been so forgein to us in our lives. The truth is to sign up for something that you have wanted to do forever. The truth is to be challenged to be in a setting and actually lean into it to actualy experience it at the level that is FOR YOU- yet so often we resist because we attempt to control and override! Let that be for your past- Let this new eagerness and excitement settle into your life today because you deserve it!    Tune in with me while I share how my love and excitment came back at its highest level! How I noticed it and what I did with this feeling that I have been so eager to experience again and didn't know that it was possible because of how jaded my heart was!    xoxoxo Camie Cragg

We continue to move through this life in happiness, pain, joy, trauma, etc. EMOTIONS and EXPERIENCES will no matter what impact our days and it's up to us to stand in solitude that our thoughts and reactions will lead to our destiny.    I ask as you tune in to today's episode that you allow yourself GRACE and the freedom to work through the life that stands before you- We all are moving through, evolving and with all of our power attempting to overcome.   This episode is really as simple as that- the simplicity of cherishing the good, bad and indifferent knowing that we individually and universally are all walking this walk- IT'S just a matter of how much of an impact that we are willing to make along the way to the better self.    XOX Camie Cragg 

There are a lot of mistakes I have made in my time like not sleeping when I was tired, not eating when I was hungry or not getting warm when I was cold! It is the cold hard truth in life to be able to look back and see the faults which were parts of self that were weak or in better terms lack of knowledge. Without the hardship, without the challenge or the trails in life I wouldn't have learned how to eat right, how to sleep right or how to get warm- seemed so easy yet easy isn't where the lessons are shared! The lesson is in the challenge which in some cases are voluntarily raising your hand and asking for help. One of my other mistakes in life was wanting so bad to be loved, appreciated and valued by another yet I truly didn't love, appreciate or value at the capacity that I intended for myself!    That was a mistake and it is up to me to share with you to not see it as a weakness yet a strength to raise your hand and ask for help. Seek help because you deserve it! You don't need to treat yourself or others poorly anymore! You are destined to be a better human, you are destined for this broken spirit to be healed- it is just a matter of you wanting it. Tune in today to hear exactly what this looks like!   XOXO Camie Cragg

Whether you want to lose weight, compete in a race, gain lean mass, you have to exercise consistently! And if you want to work out consistently, it's key that you make your workouts as convenient as possible: The more convenient working out is, the more likely you are to do it. Sounds so easy and simple right?    In the same sentence we often ask ourselves why it is so hard to get results in a day and age where you can literally download weight loss programs off the internet for free and where you can follow someone's diet and exercise plan on Instagram post-by-post but I am telling you it's SO MUCH more than this day & age living.    I share with all my clients, "If it was easy then everyone would be doing it therefore we need to buckle down as a team, get educated and motivated to obtain your goals. The process is detailed yet so achievable as long as you trust the process, are action based and have a strong sense of accountability.    This episode is to help breakdown the process to obtain accountability first, so then we can be action based about the gym consistency that we dearly want as well!    We will go over 4 simple steps that I HOPE will help you create space, time and energy for your goals with the help of being kept "ACCOUNTABLE."   XOXO,  Camie Cragg 

How to respond from love and not react from fear in our relationships is crucial to truly experience happiness- How to do that is to reject fear, choose love. This really has been a wonderful piece of advice and I hope it touches your heart. In the same sentence, there are many that believe that there are only two primal emotions in the human being, love and fear, and that we cannot feel both at once. Right? We believe that don't we? If we believe this we are certain that if light removes darkness then love can remove fear. The choice to reject fear and choose love can feel like something that only applies to moments of crisis, like when we're leaving a marriage, starting a new business, preparing to climb the highest mountain you have ever thought of. But in truth, the opportunity to choose love and reject fear presents itself in the smallest moments of life, and specifically, in relationships with those closest to us. Love over fear is a choice every time someone tells us something about ourselves or has an experience of us that we don't want to hear. I have loved this over and over as I have a feeling so have YOU! We are being tested and they test is are you going to fold to fear or rejoice in love! You get the choice and it's a place of happiness to share how I made this pivot in my life once and for all! It was so scary to see myself as controlling and anxious yet, because I have, I am able to see it for what it is and I want to change for the betterment of all of us around! I choose love and when I love I will no longer do it in fear! It's beyond my human value- and I will not ever walk down the road again- I choose to not love in fear!? Do you? Xox Camie Cragg

Your routine can be re-established but only if you are willing to take things step-by-step without overachieving out of the gate! With all the years of being in motion as an athlete and coaching others to achieve to become I must say that “falling of the wagon,” is part of the process!   Truth is that we are not perfect. Truth be told that we fall beneath the line and we have to have these moments sometimes to really understand and appreciate what a restart is and how to to follow through to get your fitness journey back into gear!   Tune in today if you are having serious thoughts about getting back into the fitness saddle! If you let yourself go a little and searching how to gain momentum to become a physical engine that performs at her/his optimal.   We will be going over all the steps that create a platform of accountability and daily promises to reset yourself! Not to give too much away here all I am going to say is that this decision must be for YOU first and one thing that will follow in your favor is FUN!   The rest we will chat about with intention to support your choice to make the move and restart!   Xoxo Camie Cragg

My trauma taught me more than I could ever imagine! Of course it would have been nice to have lived without the basic blow of chaos over and over again but clearly I was in the biggest seat of tool gathering, lesson teaching, self love that I could ever be in for the betterment of the rest of my Life! Therefore it was fortunate that all this happened where I am today because I know how, who, why, when so much better than I did before! Has your trauma taught you lessons? Do you blame yourself? Does shame hit your doorstep? These are all things that are unanswered till they are answered and the only way to answer is to make sure you're on your way to waking up which is usually a very painful and scary experience! We have our world around us condoning the “stay asleep” mentality! Stay comfortable. And whatever traumatic event you are in your life it's “normal!” No it's NOT normal- we have normalized this, society has, Hollywood has and if I can say anything I'm saying it now…. Wake up! Get uncomfortable and stop repeating the trauma dynamics! Tune in as I reveal what the truth is about trauma and what it taught me! Xoxo Camie Cragg

We all have the choose to live the life we are either destined for or settle to be mediocre. In the midst of the challenges, storms, hustle, constrictions it's important that we all know this constant state of chaos can bring true exhaustion to ones life! Therefore we should really strive to feel harmony in our life- even when time feels like it's a huge constraint! We must ask self is it really? Probably not- as humans we are so good about procrastinating which sets us back from truly living the life of destiny! It's a sign, right now, that you ask yourself a truthful question, “Are you living your best life, your mediocre life or your procrastinated life?” With an honest answer comes honest efforts and YOU deserve it! As an individual, as a couple, as a group of friends or as a family we desire certain things because they most likely come from the gut-the heart and require action! So since Dan & I decided to be damn adventurists from the beginning we promised one another to live, love and endure the simple life getting us away from the hustle 24/7 which is what I was used to ultimately! ….We drove to Montana to visit Dan's best friend, his beautiful wife, two girls, two of their friends (now our friends) and others that we were introduced to along the way! Feeling nothing but harmony- like music what makes you feel good is what you listen to as well believe is the same with living life- do the things that make you feel good while making memories. I figured out how happy I am knowing we live in a world where there is a Montana- my spectrum is now illuminated more because of this magical trip and questions that were answered along the way!

Part three is to conclude a piece of time that once agains reveals the truth of the heart, the strength in low times and the test to use our courage that life continues to bring us with!    Thank you for tuning into this three piece series as I hope you begin to journal in your life to document your thoughts, ideas, challenges and success!

When one door closes another door opens- but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. -Alexander Graham Bell  There is nothing crazier than doing the same thing over again especially when you are seeking change. In this episode we are digging a little deeper, sharing more of what matters with the attempt to become. To become is explained in detail by you in your journal- it is a place where you finally recognize that you are not living your best life, and something has to change! This is the time to answer in your highest truth to really start feeling the freedom of being self!  Thank you for tuning in to today's episode with intent to realize that you have the power to overcome any situation in your life that seems to be hurting or hindering you!  xoxo Muah Camie Cragg 

The real talk & the eagerness to shout out "MORE POWER TO YOU" for being the amazing human that you are. We are all in development, right? Figuring life out with the lessons, the seasons and the challenges that we face daily. No matter what we face we must do it with dignity, understanding and poise- if we are figuring these things out currently this is something to aspire to be like deep within! Real talk that life happens, it gets stuffy and messy! We are not meant to be perfect yet if we are in a stance to take life on headfirst, we can face it with a humble heart to see ourselves in the mirror to be in progress.  I am telling you from firsthand experience change is difficult- it is rewarding but we all know it brings challenge which then all the sudden leaves us feeling cold, frigid and at times not prepared. That is what the winter months feels like in reality so if you are faced with a lot, change, uncertainty please recognize this as a time to hunker in with ambition to see the blossom on the other side.  Career, relationships, family, friends, financials, etc, all take work, they take time, and they take discipline which are all hard concepts to grasp when you just want things to work out for you- however they will once you are willing to embrace that earning your stripes through the winter months (hard seasons) are worth every bit of discomfort! Enjoy the journey and help someone out by sharing the hard work that you see them giving towards life! It hurts sometimes to go go go go and feel little to nothing in return- humans and their caring hearts can be the cure to hopelessness! Give someone a shout out today- show your appreciation and present to them their worth- stormy days, weeks and months can be difficult yet manageable knowing that support (the light) is nearby!  Tune in for the real talk....

Becoming more of your own advocate is a daily practice. Taking in things that you hear of and doing your own research, deep research is the start of being clear of what you need versus what others think you need. Getting educated, getting counseled, getting advice-- even a second opinion maybe a third opinion to gain more knowledge so you can be action based if whatever it is that you are searching out serves you!    For instance, you might have heard things your whole life that you never really knew the true facts about or was it a myth? You don't know till you know, and this is a pressure point to make that call in your life! Figure out the facts, the why, the reasons to why things in our life are there to bring us to a better state especially when we are seeking out to be consistent with them!   Topic of conversation today is contrast therapy- ever heard of it? It can also be referenced as hot & cold therapy- this topic is so exciting for me especially as an athlete and furthermore rewarding if we truly know why we should engage in this therapy athlete or not the science behind this therapy is tremendous.    True hard facts on hot & cold treatment:  Cold treatment reduces inflammation by decreasing blood flow.  Heat treatment promotes blood flow and helps muscles relax.  Alternating heat and cold may help reduce exercise-induced muscle pain. Never use extreme heat, and never put ice directly on the skin   Lastly some of the benefits of contrast therapy include: Improved Circulation. Decreased Swelling. Reduced Inflammation. Improvement in Muscle Strains. Increased Range of Motion. Reduced Muscle Soreness. Increased Energy & Alertness. Elevated Mood.   Tune in today to understand a few things that I heard so much about and became so eager to know exactly what the body's natural filtration system is and how it works. I currently like to know how to remove toxins from the body and what is inflammatory towards our bodies- from there they work hand in hand to have a replenished system all because you care enough to know the cold hard facts and be willing to apply them in your life!    XOX Muah Camie Cragg 

Celebrating 17 years of being in a profession that I absolutely love, and has been everything and more than I ever imagined. Tune into this very special and revealing episode as I express with humility, vulnerability and love surrounding some of the most major decisions in my life and how they lead me to where I am at today.  Often, we get so deep in our head that we don't take time to really relax, get quiet and listen to the desires of the heart. It was when I did that get quiet in the beginning of my career and also over the past two years that the answers were revealed. I knew that I was passionate in fitness, I knew that I loved people, I knew that I desired connection. However, now that I know all that has been experienced and the opportunities that have been gifted, I truly must say that everything happens for a reason.  At the end of the day, one must know that whatever it is that you choose to do with your life- please be certain of one thing and one thing first-  Are you happy?  Does it bring your joy?  Do you crave it every day?  If your answers are yes, then of course you are in the right spot. If they are no, there is a strong possibility that you might want to explore and discover the life that you are destined for which is to also find bliss in your you do. Thank you with all my heart for the support, advice, laughs, smiles, workouts, chats, etc along this amazing journey of fitness.  Cheers to another year of fitness, health and wellness all combined with the mind, body and soul!

I believe this real answer is in your heart when questioning how I keep the authenticity when building my business- just like anything else we strive to follow our hearts as that is our gut, that is our intuition & where the passion resides!    I passionately listen and chat with people every day which is one of the key factors to building an authentic business as so many people reveal their risks, their values, their experiences and there is no better what to feel true motivation & inspiration other than those close people around you sharing what works and what doesn't. These are also opportunities to evaluate where you are and where you want to go with questions like?  Am I being real? Am I being charitable? Am I being consistent?  Am I being responsive?    But then we get even deeper by expressing how hard you are willing to work to earn your stripes. I remember a guy by the name of Ford commenting, "wow, the owner of the gym is also cleaning the gym!" I smiled back and said, "Yeah buddy, it's an honor to keep my hands on the place that I love so much- it wouldn't feel right any other way, and keeps me grounded." I drove home that night and remembered feeling a sense of gratitude from Ford's comment- he expressed himself to remind me that this is part of keeping it real with the business- this is part of keeping the business authentic to the core. I ask for help please believe me, yet it is never beyond me to go deep to the roots and stick to the plan with my hands on!    Tune in to today's episode as we reveal two other business savvy women in the community of Reno share a way they are staying authentic to their business in the chapter that they are in.   Organically these conversations happened because my heart always is in position to listen, share, love and support! There are always more ways to stay authentic to your business. Do the little things, things that would melt your heart- go out of your way from time to time to share and show gratitude!    Muah  Camie Cragg 

Our quality life lays in the very own hands of our own. The day that we can be our own advocate, not allow others to make us happy and ask all the questions, to get answers to then apply the new knowledge in our own life is a way better day which can lead into a way better life overall.  The steps to ask for help are challenging in life even on a personal level as most believe that they have it all figured out, or are too boastful to ask because it shows weakness- instead I believe that this is our strength! To be our own advocate in this bizarre world is our superpower!  In this episode we are being very direct when it comes to taking motion in your knowledge about nutrition. Most people don't want to know because they are not ready to give up the goods of this world- simple carbs to be exact- the stuff that tastes good yet has no other substance to it at all.  When one is ready to reach out for a nutrition consult, I know that they are at their end's wit in the chapter of their current life! They are wanting the change and do believe that food is the medicine just need direction to actually apply.  To one nutrition can be very intimidating as there is never a day where we can't learn something new- for me it become exciting to know what we are ingesting and how does it benefit me as a human per our blood type, blood test results, performance levels etc- OUR FOOD is our MEDICINE!  Why would you even consider a nutrition consult & what are some benefits?  Benefit #1 – Better management of chronic conditions.  Benefit #2 - Weight loss.  Benefit #3 – Healthy habits that last.  Benefit #4 – Improved overall wellness.  Benefit #5 – Better fitness.   No to mention nutrition consults can be very beneficial for people who suffer from   Diabetes.  Abnormal Blood Sugar  High Cholesterol  Eating Disorders  Metabolic Disorders Tune into today's episode as we discuss options, reasons, suggestions and information why getting a nutrition consult could help you to become your better self!

I remember hearing my dad say, “Don’t pick your scabs, your healing!” Of course I didn’t see the depths of what he knew it as, yet it didn’t take long to understand the pain of a cut and how quickly you can get to the stage of a scab — shortly you will be on your way to not feeling that pain that you felt in the beginning!  However it doesn’t mean that it’s easy! Instead once the cut is done, the bleeding begins the journey is all so authentic to each cut!  How deep was it?  How severe was it?  Did it need stitches?  Did it need a band-aide?  Did you clean it out?  Did it get infected?  All the questions and or reactions to the cut is how well it will heal.    Low and behold I didn’t know that life was like that till it became very apparent to me! We get cut- we get sliced open- we get chopped up sometimes in life but by the Grace of God we have the chance to respond correctly or more correctly as time goes on to heal!  Healing is just as challenging if not more than the actual event where the cut happened! Lots of treatment, lots of love, lots of cleaning up to do yet without it becomes gross, disgusting and infected and no one has time for that.    Sit back and tune into our episode today where we find a place in our life where we got cut and accepted the healing process! What did that look like for you? What would you have done different and how will you respond next time to a cut in order to heal properly.    As I share another thread of my journey I pray that you take the wheel and also explore what that looks like for you and how will you finally accept the challenge to slow down and not pick the scab! Instead let the events happen in order to find yourself a healed wound!    Hint hint! We have all been wounded yet it’s how quickly we can pick up our cleaning tools and nurture this special event called “to heal” is to become!   

Breaking habits & patterns starts with noticing what you do, how you react & what condition you are in. When one sees themselves in the mirror for maybe the first time and realizes that human isn’t the “authentic” self it’s a perfect time to raise your arm and admit you need help! You need more tools! You need change!    When the options seem so slim to find recovery from pain, hurt & trauma that have oh so easily built in a condition know for a fact that this thought of yours is NOT TRUE! That is your thought and that is not you heart! Follow your heart when seeking the shift in forming new patterns Nd habits! Pull from the gut! And walk into the uncomfortable situation which is change because you deserve it once and for all!    It can be any part of life that needs assistance; love life, physical life, spiritual life, career life, emotional life, etc- you make the call by  1) looking in the mirror  2) noticing the habits & patterns 3) declare that the most important relationship you can and will have is with yourself.   4) devote a daily practice to healing  5) forgive yourself that you left you out of the equation    Tune in to today’s episode by putting yourself in your shoes as you would so graciously for your friend- be a friend to you- change the habits and patterns by honoring the soul that lives inside of you!   

Project C is a motion, it’s a rhythm, and a place to discover self while letting go one day at a time of the old toxic place we used to live!  Tune in today for a very special episode as two women share their experience in Project C- two women that actually took the chance, they made the choice and are seeing the change. One of them shares her testimony to only two weeks into Project C and the other woman completed her 12 week program with all get numbers in the table!  It’s interesting to what can happen when you really trust the process and believe in yourself! So many times we as humans look past the desires of our hearts yet Dr. Billie Casse lost 37% of her body fat in twelve weeks and Shonna two weeks in has showed up for self, lost 8 total inches and in an exited state to complete her 18 week Project C with all ambition to meet Dr. Casse with huge results- she is going for losing half of her body fat!!!!!  Check in, as these women tell the inside scoop to how they became, what struggles and challenges they faced and what today means to them! 

What is Project C?    A program that is inspired by the medicine of motion, nutrition, mental health, self care, among detoxing from the past life of toxic habits, negative thinking and survival!    We have generated in the most organic way, through experience, a way to thrive in a program that is authentic to each individual! Surfacing details about each individual is where the self discovery starts in Project C- finally once and for all one can become their best self because they took the Chance to make the Choice to be the Change!    We apply this program on a solo basis, 12-14-16 week and even sometimes 18 weeks of practicing discipline to become knowing that it will be a challenge, there will be flawed moments/days, yet there can be and will be a change because you deserve it! We strive to showcase a way to live vs a moment in time (quick fix) as the mind, body and soul transformation shows what success can look like beyond any materials of this world- we believe that the greatest piece of success that one can have is within their own hearts desires presented because of their own devoted actions every day, every week, every month, every year to live a better internal well being which in time will always express itself outwardly!    Tune in to today’s episode on exactly what is Project C and don’t forget to check out the episode right after this one of a current Project C client and also a newly accomplished Project C client- their mindset along with results all because their trusted the process & most of all believed in themselves!    Email: Camie@camiecraggfitness.com for further information about online or onsite options for Project C-    Be a risk taker, breathe, believe and become.  Xoxo  Camie Cragg

Kelley Perotti has always been a positive person, glass half full, free spirited & a little scatterbrained.  Little did she know this year, change was before her. Looking back Kelley can see the signs of change yet it wasn’t till l February 2021 she found herself in a dark place. Dark as in, she was in a place of negative thoughts overtaking her day which took her to a space that she did not wanted to be a part of any longer.  Kelley was scared! She had friends in life that have struggled with anxiety & depression all of their life & here she was only dealing with it this past year as it truly was overwhelming such and awful feeling. She knew she needed to make a change & find help, which is some thing that’s very hard for her to do. Low & behold she reached out to her healthcare provider close friends & found her way to the Brain Health Restoration with Dr. Zavala. Kelley shares her full story in this episode about anxiety & depression and also a few words from her to you!  “I hope that sharing my story can encourage one person or help one person to maybe research what Brain Health Restoration can offer you! I am so thankful for the friends and family around me who loved me no matter what, that is unconditional love. You never know how somebody’s feeling, let’s remember to have a grace & compassion for others & be loving & kind. If you notice a friend or a family member not behaving like themselves reach out make sure they’re OK let them know you are there for them & that they are loved!"   Xoxo,  Camie & Kelley Perotti

Many people feel as if they're lost in this world. They work hard but they don't seem to get anywhere worthwhile.   A key reason that some may feel this way is that they haven't spent enough time thinking about what they want from life, and haven't set themselves set-desired goals.   I truly believe that goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality.   The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you to be in full procrastination mode!   Learn about different SMART ways to set goals. Ask yourself questions like why would you set goals, how are you going to achieve them, and in what areas of your life.   I’m so excited to be with you and immerse ourselves in things they need to be talked about, need to be written down and need to be accomplished! Why! Because the desires of your heart are real yet they only become real with action behind them!   Xoxo

As I sit here in Maui I’m forced at these moments to measure my growth because time has passed and when time passes for a duration of time we have the amazing opportunity to be present enough to feel where we are today!  2004 was my first visit to Maui which was pre kids, pre marriage, pre career, etc.... my life as I knew then was actually on a path of revealing it self by the decisions I was making.  Where I was then in 2004 in comparison to where I am at today 2021 almost seems light years away yet I would not know this unless I was able to be alert & aware of life as I knew it, to life as I know it.  Tune into today with me as I have a drink with you, literally a Mai Tai in hand and relaxed beyond relaxed sharing the life that I remember, the life that I desired to, the life that I am living.  It’s your time to focus on your challenge which is to be so present in your moment now in hopes to have the awe ha moment which makes our whole world turn to be exactly where you were meant to be!!!  Happy- joyful- blissful and yes a little uncomfortable in there, here and there, which forms a better you anyways!  I’m excited to share hope with you and since there is hope present in your life there is light and since there is light there is hope- let that settle in and enjoy the challenge of measuring your growth!  You are loved- and cheers to us! Our life becoming and no longer stalling!    Xoxo

A friend texts me to share her amazing therapy session. Her therapist finals words to her were these before she left, “You have manifested precisely what was important to you. Be sure to do regular self check ins, be sure you are manifesting what you really want and not what you think you want. And there’s nothing wrong with hindsight. Sometimes we don’t know what we want until we don’t have it- that’s wisdom and experience. Use it.”  It truly doesn’t matter what you put in front of this statement- the bottom line is that there is hope when you believe to the core that what is important to you will come true with hard work! Hard work calls for effort and effort calls for finding a way- through asking for help, applying what you know, making things happen, setting goals, using your sources around you, etc.  When it comes to knowing self we must take the effort everyday to become! A lot of people don’t even know what they are made up of, blood type, blood tests, Dexa scan- a few ways to know you a little bit more which also makes setting goals so much more obtainable when we know who we are and what we are working with!  Today is the day to jump up and say, “I’m going to be my own advocate. I’m going to step up to the plate to be more aware of who I am!” It’s as simple as reaching out, making some calls with the intent to learn about you!  Then you can set macros up.  Then you can set calories up.  Then you can make your menu.  Then you can structure your week with workouts.  Then you can shop differently.... It’s time today to learn more, put yourself out there more and ask for help! Manifest these amazing things that are important to you and become what it is you desire.  I Believe in you  Xoxo

A late night setting, lights off, taking myself and you to a very vulernable place- This is me kicking the past self, thoughts, demons, worries and concerns to the curb-  Topic of choice that has me in the some of the most vulernable states & lessons are sincerely taking time to realize that you can free yourself from the pain of the past and there are great ways to face your demons.    With the illumination inside of me and forgiveness inside of me I have been able to face the craziest-painful and hurtful side of me- with grace & love - hasn't been and wasn't easy but once it was actually nailed down to see this once and for all- the main objective from that point on has been to allow nothing but the light to shine through awareness and understanding I have become more aware of my unconcious actions and will never be a victim to them ever again.   We all will or have faced circumstances such as these - but we don't want to talk about it because it might trigger something inside of you- it might bring you back to that scary, worried or fearful place yet please believe me when I say that you will not know when they will reveal themselves yet you will know how to respond and react because you know exactly what you are facing now!    You were destined to live an abundant life- just as I am- just as your neighbor is- In order to move on, be in ofrward motion and all in conjunction to face the negative/demons in your life which really is just a term for dealing with the repressed or unconscious aspects of your personality we need to know that everything you desire lies on the other side of facing your demons!    After deep connection with Brendon Burchard "The Motivation Manifesto" im stunned in my walk of facing my demons to be reminded that our internal demons poison us with worry and fear whenever we might be vulnerable, stunting our growth and vitality. Our diestiny is deceded by how well we know our demons of doubt and delay. How well we defend against them and how many battles we win against them each day of our lives.  Through Christ giving me my strength, I happily reconize these parts of my life and don't allow the past to be drawn into the future unless we make peace with it.    Its one tough road but once it is taken all I have seen myselwf do now is be courageous enough to confront the dark parts of myself and work to banish them with my ILLUMINATION and foregiveness! As August Wilson states, "Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing!"   Its time to transform your demons into a gateway towards joy and bliss Its time to transform the energy and confront that which you buried a long time ago.  Its time to allow your light to shine on your demons- WHY? Because light over powers the darkness!   Be gentle on yourself as that is exactly what I have done as I have taken on this process willingly. Do not pass judgement or criticism on what is! Much better please observe through awareness. If you and I can do that we can liberate ourselves from the past & feel the abundance of what the present and future hold for US-    IT'S time to kick that part of your life to the curb & or face it once and for all!    Muah  Camie Cragg 

Many people use the age 65 as their target retirement age. At that age you can begin to receive Medicare to cover your healthcare needs. However, most people now need to wait until 66 or 67 to collect unreduced Social Security benefits. And if you decide to call it quits at 65 you can expect to enjoy 20 or more years of retirement. Today’s 65-year-olds are largely healthy and likely to live longer than earlier generations. But that doesn’t mean they’re not starting to feel the wear and tear of an aging body and mind. And it is not going to get any easier. None of us will ever be any younger than we are today. Even if you don’t feel old yet, you are growing older with each passing day. As your body ages your options to explore and experience new things tends to become more limited.  All these descriptions of retiring at 65 is what helps me with my mentality in my late thirties! Which is to live now and don’t wait to retire!  I have found that Covid has turned a leaf over in me that sincerely has brought the young little girl out of me all over again! The one that seeks out for adventure, spontaneity and pure joy from being outdoors & with family and friends!  This life doesn’t have to be lived later after all the years of hard work instead I’m noticing that through hard work we can also take time off and travel the places that the heart desires! I believe in this so much last September we purchased a sprinter van to help make these dreams come true! We leave when we can and stay to do life. We create and make memories and also love our hearts passion in the health and fitness industry! We are moving one day at a time towards our dream life which is so be happy, joyful and imperfectly perfect for our own life!    Rejoice in the desires of the heart.  Breathe.  Believe.  & become every single day! Be a risk taker and don’t wait till later to live your best life! Instead live it now!  It’s possible.    Xoxo,  Camie Cragg

A topic of suicide is and will never be easy. With the help of Dr. Zavala and Mrs. Connie Wray they share their passionate and detailed stories along with their insight! They also take time to share the drive of scientific research into the many questions we and others have about suicide. Many of the answers remain unknown but efforts go out everyday to save lives! Suicide rates are currently climbing in the US and many other countries, and suicide is now the second leading cause of death among young people globally, after traffic accidents. The World Health Organization recently estimated that, worldwide, one person ends their own life every 40 seconds.   Suicide is as complicated as it is tragic. I’m learning through time with Dr. Zavala & Connie Wray that suicidal behaviors come in many varieties, ranging from suicidal thinking, or ideation, to suicide attempt and completion, all of which may be associated with various levels of violence or intent. The behaviors themselves differ in incidence among genders, ethnicities, and other demographic categories, and almost always occur against a background of depression or some other mood disorder. No field of scientific inquiry can single-handedly untangle a phenomenon as complex as suicide. But Wray & Zavala among many other scientists/researchers are hoping to shed light on the problem by digging into the neurobiological processes underlying thoughts about ending one’s own life and attempts to do so. This work is building support for the idea that suicide is tied to specific biochemical changes that can be measured and targeted independently of, and possibly in parallel with, the mental health disorders they often accompany. Findings from this work, researchers/scientists hope, could help reveal new treatments, and perhaps even opportunities to identify the people most at risk in time to intervene.  You are worth it. You are valued. And you are loved please always remember this! Never make a permanent decision in a temporary situation! Muah Camie Cragg

We can all ask the tough question- why is it so tough to trust girlfriends? And why is it so hard to make great girlfriends? Let’s talk about being lonely first!!! It serves no one. Loneliness is correlated with poorer mental health, increased health issues, decreased immunity, and even early mortality therefore is more of a reason to share life with your connections which equals friends! We have all sorts of people who come in and out of our lives who we term ‘friends’; acquaintances, soccer moms and dads, co-workers, service people, wait staff, managers, social media followers, classmates, etc. But what we yearn for are true friends. What we desire are people we can count on. Friends who enjoy us and understand us. Humans who create networks of love, caring, and understanding. People who will stand by our sides when things get tough.Companions who’ll both laugh and cry with us. Friends who will stand the test of time.Human connection is vital. We rely on each other for identity, belonging, acceptance, love & so much more. Without real connection, we cannot thrive. I’m recognizing that close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental & physical decline! Discovering, creating, & maintaining deep connections to others is serious business. Close friendships & partnerships provide numerous benefits. With others, we find fun, happiness, understanding, laughter, compassion, challenge, encouragement, affection, and love. When we are deeply connected to others, our moods, health, and lives are improved! Just because we have been hurt in our past! Just because we have shared discomfort in relationships does not mean we will never be able to know what connection of great health truly is! Instead it will be more reason why we will find our “Golden Girls” because we deserve them in our lives! 

Today we will dive deep into one the three treasures of the world which is Compassion. According to Tao Tzu simplicity, patience & compassion are the three greatest treasures. Simple in actions & thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patience with both friends & enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world. It’s true that being compassionate is not a weakness but it is a sign of strength even in the midst of being mistreated, lied to or cheated on! You and everyone around you will benefit from sharing self compassion as it will be a domino effect authentically! It’s not your job to hurt others because you are hurt! Instead it’s your responsibility to learn what caused pain in your heart and do everything you can to never inflict that same pain on another soul because you have compassion for self- as Tao states both friends & enemies be patient! Enjoy the giant beautiful discussion about how compassion can change your life first by being self compassionate with a few ideas to practice it daily! Let’s understand why it’s difficult to be compassionate to others who you believe don’t deserve it. Lastly let’s get a grip on what exactly compassion is so we can inherit a more positive response to life once & for all! You are loved You are worth it You are beautiful inside & out! Even though it may seemtough that treasure of compassion lives inside of you- let it out!  Muah

It’s not a topic for everyone yet it’s a topic for some and you have to know your not alone! However you might feel that you belong on the team of FBI & CIA cause your detective work is amazing! Yet really that is not the life for you! You are not meant to be a detective, surrender your self from the sacrifice of living your best life in hopes to change another human! Cheating is all around us and unfortunately it’s in our own house! Yet only if you allow it! Boundaries must be set in life! Once and for all! I pray to God that your detective work will prove you wrong yet when this comes from the gut and following the intuition it usually is not wrong, instead your right and not crazy! There are signs to warn you There are alarms to save you You have to be smart You have to know your worth and you have to know it’s not your fault! But it is your responsibility to take the right actions! No one wants to get caught cheating they want their primary relationship which is an act of have their cake and eat it too! That’s a delusional life A life is fantasy A life of fake connection and lack of trust You don’t deserve it See the signs, stop ignoring them by placing them on the rug and on the shelf! Is he cheating on you? Which then leads to the question how will you react and what do you stand for? I’m here with you with intent and purpose to help at least one more see their value more today than they did yesterday!!! Muah Camie Cragg

Dr. Zavala from Brain Health Restoration & I talk about the behaviors & responses to your environment that you can’t seem to control - the things about your personality that you know are just “not the real you.” You always seem to manifest these behaviors habitually,... but deep down you wish you could do things differently - FEEL differently. I’m not a doctor but Dr. Zavala is and through his expertise & my personal experience we share openly that your BRAIN HEALTH is directly connected to these types of problems.  This podcast - Project You - is about self-improvement. Being the best you. If you don’t have a healthy, whole mind, it makes it nearly impossible to be the best you.  We are all experiencing trauma on some level right now. COVID-19 IS a trauma. And for many people who have been through past traumas, the effects of COVID are compounded. A past trauma to the brain - physical or emotional - can affect your personality and the quality of your life. That is why I have been going through treatments with Dr. Zavala over at Brain Health Restoration. My regular subscribers know the power these treatments have had on my overall health, wellness, and personality. If you are struggling with this pandemic, I hope you’ll take a moment - look them up - and decide whether you or someone you love needs these treatments.  This is the most current technology we have to treat and prevent brain problems. The Mert Brain Treatments I am receiving at BHR address the root cause - not just my symptoms. My anxiety, my mood swings, my brain fog - we can actually see what is causing them in real-time brain scans and address the problem head-on. You wouldn’t treat a broken leg without looking at an XRay, we need to have the same mentality when treating the brain.  Visit the website www.Brainhealthrestoraiton.com or go into the clinic and chat with a doctor about whether these treatments can help you. They are completely confidential. Tell them Camie sent you. Use the CODE Camie and you'll receive 10% off your first treatment.

“Don’t let today’s disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow’s dreams.” One of the most difficult parts of reaching your goals or making positive change is pushing through discomfort.This is where a lot of people give when the process inspires all kinds of challenging feelings.In this episode we are standing in a place where we want to face the fear & pain once and for all with our shield of relentlessness and excitement to know we are creating our life! One day, one promise at a time! We will be able to list all the factors that could encourage you to quit. We will be specific. What sacrifices will be the most difficult? What changes might push you way out of your comfort zone?Then we will ask yourself: what’s the payoff if you keep going?It’s time, to shine! It’s time to be bold and plow through the crap! No one else wants to talk about this but we will today in Project You with Camie Cragg.  Muah

The time is now to become closer with the most important person in your life, which is YOU. In this episode you will find suggestions on behalf of building a better relationship with yourself which I do believe is worth every single attempt. I have found over the years of coaching Project C that the simplicity of documenting a new program, hobby, ritual, etc through a binder that is only dedicated to what you are currently  interested in provokes self to stay engaged, form of self accountability and a tool to always have in the future.  As we chat about the the ways to discover what you are truly capable of and how to document it through your binder we will also prepare the mind to open up a blank journal that is labeled Project You with “your name.”This is another step to really be able to learn how to future self journal, reflect and also realize once and for all that your Story Matters and is one hundred percent worth knowing at the capacity you are about to discover through writing! It’s so unique, so simple and yes takes time! We are working developing a relationship with self therefore we are declaring today that we have time for ourselves! We know we are a priority!And this is the perfect time, today to discover self more! Muah

Dealing with the unforeseen challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on people all across the world. Every single human, some way, some how, has been affected as we are ALL living in a page of history with different gets crossed that we come out healthy and secure with our jobs as small businesses owners.  The big question is, when can we get back to normal? How can we turn the nonessential health & wellness centers into essential businesses? In the wake of a global health pandemic, easing back into our usual fitness routines can induce a range of challenges, as well as uncertainties/worries around which activities are safe to do & when. I’ll raise my hand first & say with certainty that continued physical inactivity will bring catastrophic consequences for our physical & mental health, not to mention that of the economy & environment. Health & wellness centers are essential for so many reasons. The most important being, regular aerobic exercise increases your immunological fitness. In other words, exercise increases blood flow & mobilizes white blood cells, one of the main defences against harmful microbes. Regular exercise also guards against obesity & decreases the risk for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, & cardiovascular disease, three of the most important underlying conditions that impact the fight against COVID-19!  My fellow health and fitness business owners & I strongly believe that we should be categorized as “essential” by the Governor. Our hope is that you can speak up for us and help us be a part of the solution in the fight against COVID-19!

Part of knowing yourself better is to develop a personal relationship with self. Sounds so weird? right? Can you actually say that out-loud and not roll your eyes? What you should say is “of course, that’s a given!” But really, how many of us know the depths of not only what our heart wants, but the depths of how our organs work - one in particular our brain? Percentages are so low when it comes to knowing self on a scientific level not to mention an emotional level- when we do we then become curious, then take action to be educated, all while solving some serious trials to become the best version of self! Tune in to today’s episode with Dr. Zavala and Nuero Tech Jeff Hadwick to dive deep into what exactly Brain Health Restoration is and what it can bring to the table for you while developing the personal relationship with your brain that you deserve! These two humans have a desire to help, connect and share the knowledge on brain treatment that is powered by wave neuroscience. Sit back, turn up the volume to become enlightened and provoked to know a healthcare innovation company that uses break-through technology to revolutionize how they approach brain health.

Attention all MOMS—If you feel guilty about self-care know that taking care of yourself isn't a luxury!! It is an essential part of being a good mom. Self-care, sometimes it can seem like a huge dream moms only fantasize about. Day in & day out we tirelessly work for our families every day. We think we’ll be able to focus on ourselves again after they’ve all left the the house. I get it, parenting is a selfless job. There is no room for being selfish when you are raising children. But I have to tell you this and it might be a rude awakening or maybe just right? Self-care is NOT selfish! In fact, I would argue that if we are to be the best parent we can possibly be, self-care should be a priority! Let’s roll into the zone in Project You were we are willing to be open to being more willing to give self love which then leads to self care to ourselves some way some how! Even if it’s a nap- you deserve that extra rest! If you are craving something & it’s a desire of the heart and you keep putting it on the back burner it probably deserves to be on the front side as a priority once and for all! Muah Camie Cragg

I believe we all want to claim that we are “emotionally mature” yet if I would like to put my hand up first & say “yes, I have adult fits! However I recognize them and do my best to change my level of reactions!” Emotional maturity refers to your ability to understand, and manage, your emotions. The most important part of emotional maturity is to realize that you when you have maturity within your emotions this enables you to create the life you desire. A life filled with happiness and fulfillment based upon what that means to you! You define success in your own terms, not society's, and you strive to achieve it because you know how you react is part of the outcome (good, bad or indifferent). In today’s episode of Project You with Camie Cragg we will go over signs of emotional maturity and how to develop better grips with all emotions! Believe me when I say it’s a daily practice and can turn into a very challenging road yet by the action based behavior that you continue to have to be your best self- this road too will shine, show and prepare you for the more mature days ahead of you, emotionally!Muah  Camie Cragg

Building anything in this life comes from one place first which is PASSION. I have found over the 16 years of being in the health & fitness industry that the drive of consistency and relentless is were two driving forces to building the business that was the desire of my heart. When one has a small idea that once can lead to the big dreams to become your reality. It’s all a huge risk but isn’t anything in life that is bigger than you scary or a risk? Answer is yes! Yes it’s scary, it’s out of your comfort zone, it’s challenging and it’s those things that has kept me going to reaching new levels of business along the way because I knew from a young age that nothing comes easy! Everything that calls for time and effort in return is earned and worth it! Listen for the reason, the desires & dreams from within and then passionately act on them one day, one step at a time. Passion is the key to success & success is defined so differently with every individual or organization. Welcome to your passion, which is your business- build on that!
