Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Dr. Margie Warrell, bestselling author and global leadership expert, to talk about her latest book, The Courage Gap: 5 Steps to Braver Action. Drawing from her deeply personal experiences and decades of coaching and research, Margie shares how courage isn't about eliminating fear—it's about regulating it and acting anyway. Margie and Andy explore the hidden ways fear shapes our decisions at work and at home, how overachievers can unknowingly be held back by fear, and why rescripting the stories we tell ourselves is essential to growth. You'll learn about the “courage muscle,” the power of embodiment, and practical steps to face difficult conversations and bold decisions. Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or navigating life transitions, Margie offers encouragement and tools to help you close your own courage gap. If you're looking for insights on facing fears, speaking up, and leading with greater confidence, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Courage is not the absence of fear—it's learning how to regulate it and act anyway.” “The smarter we think we are, the more cunningly our fear hides in the background.” “We reject ourselves before anyone else has the chance—because we don't ask.” “What we focus on expands. Fear thrives when we focus on what we don't want.” “Stand guard at the doorway of your language—your stories shape your reality.” “We need to parent—and lead—from purpose, not from fear.” “Every conversation is improv—and that's what makes it feel risky.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:55 Start of Interview 02:06 How Did Your Upbringing Inspire Your Courage Work? 05:12 Did You Write This Book Because It Was Easy for You? 07:24 Should We Try to Get Rid of Fear? 09:15 How Do Smart People Hide Their Fear? 13:13 What Was That Story About the First Lady? 16:00 What Does Courage Look Like in Daily Life? 17:58 How Do You Focus on What You Want Instead of What You Fear? 21:40 How Can a Manager Use This to Give Feedback? 23:50 How Do You Apply These Ideas as a Parent? 25:49 How Do You Stop Fear-Casting and Catastrophizing? 28:20 What's a Personal Story You Had to Rescript? 32:40 What's the Role of Language in Shaping Our Stories? 35:00 How Do You Prepare to Speak with Confidence? 39:16 What Reps Did You Put In to Build Courage? 42:20 What Role Has Failure Played in Building Courage? 44:34 How Do You Help Kids Build Courage? 46:34 End of Interview 47:09 Andy Comments After the Interview 52:53 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Margie and her work at MargieWarrell.com.

We fully recognise that you don't learn to coach by reading a book; you have to practice coaching to improve your craft. However, we have both read a vast array of coaching books and have another sizeable collection on our Kindles, waiting for us to find the time to explore. We also have our favourites that we continue to dip into to remind us of theories, tools and techniques that we have encountered. In addition, we love a good book recommendation, and are often asked for them by our trainees. So, in this episode, we are exploring some of the books that could be added to your ‘to be read' list, in relation to different coaching approaches - and we throw in a few extra tombs that aren't really coaching books, but we love them!

How you carry yourself—your posture, your thoughts, your body language—shapes more than just how others see you. It affects your mood, your mindset, and your capacity for growth. Dr. Andrew Fix breaks down the power of self-perception and communication, using “The Pout-Pout Fish” as an unexpected but fitting example. A gloomy fish believes he's destined to be miserable until one moment shifts his entire outlook. What if the way you see yourself is just a story you've been telling for too long? Drawing from Presence by Amy Cuddy and Mindset by Carol Dweck, Dr. Fix explores how small changes in body language can shift emotions and how embracing a growth mindset leads to resilience and success. If your thoughts and habits shape your reality, what would happen if you decided to shift them? This episode challenges you to rethink the way you move, think, and show up in the world. Quotes “How we carry ourselves and the mindset that we have goes an extremely long way to how we act, how we feel, how we come off and come across to other people.” (04:16 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “More than 70% of our communication, if not more, is nonverbal. That means even more than what you're saying to people, what do you look like? What's your facial expression? What's your body position? How are you acting when you say these things?” (05:50 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Do you have a fixed mindset? Or do you have a growth mindset? Do you believe that things are just the way that they are, and there's nothing that you can do to change it? Or do you believe that if you keep moving the needle forward, you can create some positive change?” (06:25 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “If you believe that things can improve, then you will work harder.” (07:08 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “If we just show that improvement can be made and we help people understand and bring them along the journey, what a difference that can make.” (07:55 | Dr. Andrew Fix) Links https://poutpoutfish.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiiEeMN7vbQ https://www.amycuddy.com/books SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board https://shorturl.at/egkA1 Promo Code: DRA15 15% off RAD Roller: http://radroller.refr.cc/drandrewfix Revogreen https://revogreen.co/drandrewfix HYDRAGUN https://bit.ly/43rAtnX Athletic Brewing: 20% off: https://athleticbrewing.rfrl.co/vrmx8 20% off: ANDREWF20 Connect with Physio Room: Website | https://physioroomco.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew's Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/drandrewfix/ Andrew's Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Quote: What I most want you to understand is that your body is continuously and convincingly sending messages to your brain, and you get to control the content of those messages. -Amy Cuddy Chapters 0:04 Introduction to Body and Mind 1:35 The Cycle of Fear 3:06 Understanding Body Posture 7:14 Breathing Techniques 9:36 Correcting Anxiety-Inducing Postures 13:35 The Power of Body Language 15:03 Gratitude and Reflection Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the profound connection between our body and mind, particularly focusing on how physical posture can significantly influence our mental state during times of anxiety and fear. Drawing inspiration from the work of Amy Cuddy, particularly her book "Presence," I emphasize the critical insight that our bodies are constantly sending messages to our brains. The central theme of our discussion revolves around the fact that we have the ability to control the content of those messages, which can lead to transformative changes in how we cope with anxiety. I explore the concept of the "C-shape" that many individuals adopt when feeling stressed or anxious. This curled posture serves as a protective mechanism but inadvertently reinforces feelings of fear and danger. By recognizing that these physical postures can affect our mental state, we can consciously work to break the cycle of stress that often traps us in a loop of negative thinking and heightened anxiety. I highlight that the dangers we perceive are frequently created by our minds, rather than being based on actual physical threats, and emphasize the importance of adjusting our body language to signal safety instead.

Episode 031 - Sometimes…Actions Think Louder Than Thoughts The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori Episode Overview: In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori dives into an unconventional but powerful perspective on change: that actions can shape our thoughts, sometimes more profoundly than the reverse. While many self-help messages focus on shifting our mindset to drive behavior, Dr. Tori explores the overlooked approach of using action as a catalyst for internal transformation. Drawing on insights from thought leaders like Amy Cuddy, William James, and Robert Cialdini, this episode reveals why small, intentional actions may be the key to lasting growth in influence, leadership, and personal development. What You'll Learn: The Power of Action-Driven Change: Discover why shifting your actions can have a ripple effect on your thoughts, emotions, and even beliefs, challenging the traditional “thoughts-first” approach. Key Influence Insights: Learn from research and insights on how commitment and consistency influence belief formation (Leon Festinger), the role of body language in state management, and the science behind power poses. Practical Application: Get a glimpse into Dr. Tori's Influence Book Club, a community designed to help people transform insights from top influence and communication books into real, practiced skills. Practical Tools for State Management: Explore Dr. Tori's resource, “101 Ways to Manage Your State,” which provides actionable strategies to help you take control of your mental and emotional state. Access it at DrTori.com/101. Action as Habit-Building: Understand Aristotle's wisdom on habit and excellence—why repeated behaviors define us more than occasional good intentions. Memorable Quotes: “Sometimes, action thinks louder than thoughts.” “If you want to change your life, don't wait for your mindset to shift. Start with the action, and let your thoughts catch up.” “We become what we think, yes—but also what we repeatedly do.” Key Takeaways: Embrace the Behavior-First Approach: By changing your actions, you can influence your mental and emotional state in powerful ways. Smiling, adopting power poses, and managing your body language can change how you feel, not just how others see you. Consistency Builds Commitment: As seen in Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance, our actions often strengthen our beliefs and commitment. Taking even small steps in a particular direction can align our mindset over time. Join a Like-Minded Community: In the Influence Book Club, Dr. Tori not only helps others grow in their influence skills but puts action at the forefront, ensuring that members implement what they learn to create lasting impact in their communication and relationships. Connect With the Influence Community: If you're ready to dive deeper into actionable influence skills, join the Influence Book Club at InfluenceBookClub.com. Be part of a community that translates knowledge into impactful behaviors, transforming influence from theory to practice. Listener Challenge: Think of one small action you can take today to influence your mindset. Strike a power pose, put on a smile, or take one step toward a long-term goal. Notice the shift that a single behavior can have on your thoughts and emotions. Don't Forget to Rate and Share!

Ever feel like you're not quite giving off the confidence you know you should be as a leader in the arts? Social psychologist Amy Cuddy says it may have something to do with your “presence” – a sort of “self-assured enthusiasm.” Today, we get into her research on presence as an incredible indicator of leadership success, from how you come off to your colleagues to whether people you meet trust you. Hear how to tap into your personal power and harness it to lead. Hint: it can start with something as simple as changing your physical posture.

Quote: Do one thing every day that scares you. -Eleanor Roosevelt Chapters 0:23 Introduction to Overcoming Stage Fright 1:55 Preparing for a Big Audition 6:23 Developing a Pre-Audition Routine 7:41 The Science of Presence and Power Posing 12:28 Unlocking Your Full Potential through Presence 13:00 The Power of Visualization for Performers 16:03 Importance of Self-Care in Managing Anxiety Summary In today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we address a listener's question about dealing with stage fright and anxiety related to performing, whether it be in front of a large audience or a small group. The host emphasizes the importance of understanding that some level of anxiety is natural and can actually help keep us focused. However, for those already dealing with anxiety, additional strategies are needed to manage performance-related fears. The host suggests various techniques to prepare for auditions or performances, such as practicing in different environments, engaging in mindfulness and relaxation exercises, and developing a pre-audition routine. The concept of power posing, as discussed in the book "Presence" by Amy Cuddy, is recommended to boost confidence and alter body chemistry to better handle stress. Visualization is highlighted as a powerful tool to prime the mind for positive outcomes, and seeking support from friends, family, or a coach can provide encouragement and reduce feelings of isolation. Reframing auditions as opportunities for growth rather than make-or-break events can help alleviate pressure and foster a growth mindset. Self-care is emphasized as crucial for managing anxiety and stage fright, including adequate rest, hydration, nutrition, and engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation. Journaling or seeking therapy can also be beneficial for emotional release and promoting a tranquil state of mind before performances. Overall, by implementing these strategies and taking care of oneself, anxious performers can transform their approach to auditions, navigate them with greater ease, and showcase their authentic selves without the fear of failure. The host ends the episode with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt encouraging listeners to do one thing every day that scares them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Chapter 1What is PresenceIn her transformative book "Presence," Amy Cuddy explores the power of body language and the psychology behind making a strong personal impact. The central thesis revolves around the concept of "power posing," a practice intended to increase self-confidence and presence by adopting poses that express power and dominance. Cully argues that by altering our physical stance, we can shape our minds to be more assertive, confident, and poised, thereby enhancing our overall presence in both personal and professional settings. Through engaging anecdotes and grounded research, Cuddy illustrates how simple changes in body language can prepare us to handle stressful situations with grace and assurance. "Presence" isn't just about outward expressions but delves deeper into developing an authentic sense of self that resonates in every interaction. This book is a call to liberate ourselves from fear and tap into our innate potential by simply embodying the presence we wish to project.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of PresenceAmy Cuddy, in her book "Presence," effectively employs straightforward, accessible prose to engage readers and convey her ideas on personal power and confidence. Her writing style is inviting and conversational, which helps demystify complex psychological concepts for a general audience. Cuddy uses anecdotes and personal stories to make her points more relatable and emotive, aiding in building a connection with her readers.She frequently utilizes contrasts—between powerlessness and presence, for instance— to highlight transformations and the impact of her theories in real-life scenarios. This contrast not only clarifies the concepts but also emotionally engages the reader by showcasing tangible outcomes.Cuddy's use of rhetorical questions serves to provoke thought and encourage self-reflection among readers, making the text interactive and personally relevant. Her language is imbued with empathy, which not only reflects her understanding of human vulnerabilities but also aligns with her message that anyone can harness personal power through presence.Overall, Amy Cuddy's linguistic choices and narrative style are integral to effectively communicating her message, making complex psychological insights accessible and emotionally resonant.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of PresenceThe concept of presence—a sense of being in the moment or manifesting fully in a physical, mental, or virtual space—has a profound impact on various domains including literature, culture, and society, influencing people's perceptions, interactions, and understanding of reality. Here, I will explore how presence has shifted people's ways of thinking and its notable impacts on specific fields. LiteratureIn literature, the presence of characters and settings plays a crucial role in immersing readers and evoking a strong sense of realism or believability. The idea of "presence" in narrative fiction, as explored by writers and theorists, often hinges on the depth with which characters and environments are depicted. Authors like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce exemplify this through their stream-of-consciousness technique, which brings an intense, immediate presence to their characters' thoughts and emotions. This style invites readers to live in the characters' moments, seeing the world vividly through their eyes, thus changing the way narratives could be experienced, moving away from mere observation to active mental and emotional participation. CultureIn cultural contexts, presence can be explored through practices like mindfulness and meditation, increasingly prevalent in Western societies. Originally rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions, these practices emphasize being fully present in the moment, which has influenced contemporary health and wellness culture significantly....

Free Month of my Weekly Coaching Group So today I'm gonna talk about that green emotion called jealousy. Oh, we've all had it, we've all experienced it, and we've all been the subject of it. But with actors, it can get so tricky. I wanted to do a podcast, really putting this emotion into perspective. “A flower never thinks of competing with the flower next to it, it just blooms.” Buddha said, “Do not envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.” “Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners.” I think my own personal journey with jealousy. If I am having jealousy over someone else, it's because I am not keeping the focus on myself. Keep the focus on yourself. Keep the focus on yourself. Whatever I put before taking care of myself, I am going to lose. Also, whatever you put before taking care of yourself, you are going to lose. Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners. And I think it's so important to understand we have one journey in this life. Just one. And it's the one you're on. Let's make it the damn best one we possibly can. Amy Cuddy says, “Focus less on the impression you're making on others and more on the impression you're making on yourself.” The greatest thing about getting older is really starting to understand that the person who I most want to be impressing, the person that I most want to be challenging, the person who I most want to show that I can do it, is me. That also helps so much with anxiety. It also helps so much with me wanting to be on my team. Because you know what? My team is fucking great. So many years I abandoned myself looking to be on somebody else's team. Wanting to be with the quote unquote popular kids in the second grade. What a waste of time. I want to be with my people. Meaning me. Meaning me, myself, and I. Someone else's success does not rob you of anything. That's the Truth. In fact, I have found that when I support people in their success, they're more than happy to help me and support me in achieving my own success. The other thing is that when I focus on another person or another person's success and why they have it and I don't have it, the only thing I'm doing is weakening me. And I'm sick and tired of weakening me. I want to be working for myself, not against myself. And jealousy is an emotion where we work against ourselves. When you indulge in the emotion of jealousy, you are letting yourself off the hook for taking responsibility for what you need to do to take care of yourself and advance your goals, your acting career. Jealousy is really a completely useless emotion and it is a catabolic energy. Meaning it is a self defeating energy. And when you're in catabolic energy, you have a very low chance of success. I want a high chance for success. I want to live in anabolic energy. When you find yourself being jealous, you need to reframe it. Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change. When you find yourself being jealous, you need to reframe it and pivot the energy from working against you to working for you, from being catabolic to being anabolic, which is healing, growing energy with a high chance for success. Ask yourself these questions: by this person having success, what are they really taking from me? The answer is nothing. They are just living their life. And instead of focusing and putting energy towards what this person has, ask yourself, “where do I need to put energy and effort so I can create the life and career that I wanna create for my life?” Two very important questions. The first one being, by this person having the success, what are they taking from me? Nothing. And instead of focusing and putting energy towards what this person has, where do I need to put my energy and effort so that I can create the life and career that I want to create? Again, keep the focus on yourself. Keep the focus on yourself. How can I take care of myself in this moment? Create a plan. Organize yourself. Take an action to put yourself closer to where you want to be in your life. Do a vision board. Do a gratitude list. Get yourself out of the catabolic energy of jealousy and get yourself into the anabolic energy of taking responsibility for your life. Jealousy is all about putting energy in the wrong place. That's all it is. Energy that is being put in the wrong place. So how about putting all that energy on taking care of you and your life?

So here she is Tracy O'Malley. Lesley Logan 1:11 All right, Be It babe. I'm really excited. I was introduced to this incredible woman you're gonna hear about today, because of one of your favorites, which is Jake Kelfer and we are on a Zoom call. It's kind of like how have we not met yet we have so many friends that know each other and we know each other's friends. And so it's just gonna be a really amazing conversation. Tracy O'Malley, thank you for being here. Can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at?Tracy O'Malley 3:02 Oh my gosh, hi, I love, I loved our conversation before. And same thing, I love when I meet people who who keep saying you got to meet this person, you got to meet this person. And then we actually meet it's like, there it is. I'm Tracy O'Malley. What I'm really good at is seeing through people's soul, quite honestly. I can kind of see through a lot of the masks that we wear with such love and compassion. So that we can step into who we were always designed to be and make sense of all of this crap that you know life has thrown at us honestly. Lesley Logan 3:33 Yeah. And it's interesting talk about like masks we wear because we all kind of like people might seem call it a different hat. But really like, the different ways we show up. And what we're trying to show and what we're trying not to show. You might scare some people that you can see through. Tracy O'Malley 3:49 I do. You know, it's funny, like if you meet me, and I get this because, and I never take it personal when people are like, oof, you're very activating. Because I, had I met me 15 years ago, I would have been lined up, hightailed the fuck away from me for sure. Because a lot of us come by these masks very innocently and for survival and when somebody can kind of see through the armor that can be very, very scary. So either people are really magnetized to me because wow, they feel seen. Or they're like, holy shit, I need to get away from you because they feel really seen. And depending on where you're at in your journey, that's kind of how this will play out for you.Lesley Logan 4:32 Yeah, I like picturing different moments I've met people similar to you. And you're and I can recall, like, if you're not ready for that. You're like, oh, I need to be a spar with that person. It's so funny because the couple of times that's happened, I've also then re-engaged with them later down the road and going how did I not let them be my best friend and it's because I wasn't ready for it yet. You know, I wasn't ready to be fully seen yet. So can we talk about 15 years ago? Like when did this journey start for you? Because if you, obviously, this a skill set you had, you didn't always know you had it. So how did this kind of come about?Tracy O'Malley 5:05 Well, ironically, you know what's funny about that is, is I always knew I had it. I didn't know what to do with it. And you know, as a little girl, I grew up in a pretty traumatizing home, alcoholism and Jekyll and Hyde kind of shit going on, and unpredictability and violence and, and emotional abandonment. And this little girl in me kind of trying to navigate what all of this meant. And early on, I was always seeking like, how the hell did we get here? And how the hell do I get out of here? And, you know, I always had to kind of read situations. It is one of my spiritual gifts, as well as being able to read situations and people and energies, mainly because I had to kind of gauge the situation I was growing up in, but it's also kind of one of my gifts. But like taking you back 15 years ago, is kind of when it was all coming to a head I had almost I was about 40 years old at that point. And a lot of those skill sets had served me well. I had been married and divorced at that time, through a recession, raising teenagers, and on paper, and all the receipts showed that all that those coping mechanisms worked out really well for me, you know, on paper, I was solid, knock me down, I'll get back up kicking and screaming. But I felt this internal struggle. And also I could see some of that effect on my kids. Even though you know, to the world, they were the greatest kids and they were and they are, but I could feel their restless irritability, discontentment, fear, and all of that. And, and I knew I needed new tools in the toolbox. These spiritual gifts that I had were great, but they were for survival, not necessarily to thrive. And it all came to a head when my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and was dead within 12 days, like seriously from diagnosis to death in 12 days. And yeah, he's the most impactful person in my life, the most dysfunctional person and also, the person I loved more than anyone. And for him to go from that, to that that fast. I was like, holy shit, life is really short. And, I don't necessarily know a different way. And so the people that went before me and my family, I love them dearly but, what they were teaching me, modeling for me, all of that was not going to take me where I wanted to go with my family and my lineage moving forward. So I made the decision that all these coping mechanisms, although provided survival for me, I was not going to thrive or pass it on to my next generation. So I decided to check myself into rehab. For all my coping mechanisms, not just the obvious ones that were a problem. You know, there was alcohol, there was food, there was anger, there was power, there was sex, everything but drugs basically I've used to cope.Lesley Logan 7:57 My big joke around my household is like, we clearly were the kids who had that "This is your brain on drugs," because like most people that are friends of mine, alcohol is a definite one and those other ones you listed, but no one's doing the drugs because we're told, so I guess it's like (inaudible).Tracy O'Malley 8:12 So God forbid you do a drug like, but you know, you could be drinking tequila shots off people and you know, doing some reckless shit. And I did and I came by a lot of it super innocently and I didn't want that anymore for my life. And if you don't repair it, you repeat it, or it gets repeated or both. And that was happening. And I did not want my kids to fast forward 25 years to feel like I felt and the only way that wasn't going to happen is if I went fucking first. And so I broke the mold. Like everybody in my circle, my family and my friends are like what are you doing? You're not bad. We're way worse than you. I'm like, Well, that's the fucking problem is like, I'm surrounding myself with people that don't challenge me to level up. And although, yeah, I didn't have a physical addiction to alcohol. I wasn't like an everyday drinker. But when I did, I was so unpredictable, that that creates an environment that I grew up in and I had migraines and ulcers in the second grade. I don't want that for the people that I love. And so it was in rehab. I walked in, and my therapist who's tough and she's from Texas, and I still see her to this day, you know, over 12 years later and you know, I've been through nine therapists at this point and I could manipulate anybody you know, I know how to talk, I know how to, I know how to do it. And it was the way that I did that prior in my life was to kind of test them to see if they could handle me. I didn't manipulate to manipulate like a narcissist might but I manipulated to test them to see if they really were what they said they were. And all the nine therapists before her, I could, like they ended up in a codependent bond with me. And I was like, okay, this is a little fucked up. But with her, I think I was also ready. I was like, listen, I need you to help me fix some shit. And she's like, well, your robust ego, first of all. I'm like, oh, here we go. Okay. And it was in day two, she wanted me to take the Enneagram thing, which is how the Enneagram came into play for me. And I basically said, go fuck yourself, I don't need another label. I'm walking in here with plenty. I don't need another thing to make this complicated. And she wasn't even rattled by my very colorful, intense language and intense energy. She did not even miss a beat. She's like, my dear, I get it. But your best thinking has gotten you here. And this might help you get out of the box that not only you've put yourself in, but the world has also put you in. So how about you just open up your mind a little bit? And give it a shot? Touché. Lesley Logan 10:54 I love her. I love her so much.Tracy O'Malley 10:55 I know. Yeah, she like and that's the thing with that intensity where, when we were talking about before, where it can be very activating for people, I used to get off on that, it was like, see, I'm the strongest person in the room. Whereas now when I activate somebody, it's like, I know, it's for their greatest good if they choose to receive it that way. And she provided that for me. Like she wasn't even rattled by that. And so I trusted her. I trusted her to take me on a journey. And you know, she did quite one hell of a journey for sure. Lesley Logan 11:26 So she, how did she take the Enneagram test? But you guys, we've had, we've talked about it before. It's been a while. It's been a couple of years. But for people who don't know, what is the Enneagram? And why do you think that she had you do it so early on in your journey?Tracy O'Malley 11:39 I hate the what is the Enneagram question because it's like, it's so stupid, but like I get it. It basically is this mappings, the way that I describe it is this beautiful navigation system that explains how you are divinely wired in your motives and your core fears that if you kind of sift through all the masks and the hats and the bullshit, at the root of who you are, there's this really distinct perspective, motive and fear in which you see the world. And why think she had me take it. And by the way, all those online assessments are wrong. The first one that I took was wrong as well. So just little asterisk there. The reason I think that she had me tackle this so early, and I'm so grateful she did and honestly, I don't even know if I'm still sober to this day without this beautiful system and framework that kind of, you know, because my robust ego can think that I can handle this and I know better and all this shit. And the Enneagram kind of is this navigation that keeps me in my lane. When I want to go off roading or fly off a cliff or go rogue kind of guides me back into who I was always divinely meant to be before life kind of life to me in the face a little bit. And so when you understand and that, you know, and I was tackling this at the age of 40, 40 years old, that's a lot of shit to unpack. And I think that's why a lot of people start the personal development journey. And then like, fuck this, I'm out. It's too hard, too much to unpack. It's too overwhelming. It's kind of like when you're spring cleaning and you start it and you're like I just opened a can of worms. I only wanted one worm to pop out. And now the whole fucking can's open. Lesley Logan 13:18 Yeah, yeah, I totally understand. Tracy O'Malley 13:20 Right, like, so I think when we embark on this journey, like, that's how this feels. And it's like, nope, let's just spackle this all back together and move on. And the Enneagram kind of helps you streamline and accelerate that understanding of yourself with compassion. When I understood at the core of everything that I did was a motive of being strong and powerful. That helped me reverse engineer and connect a lot more dots a lot faster, which, in turn, creates transformation. You can see movement in this growth because even in therapy, I love therapy, but it's fucking slow. It's really, really slow and I don't move slow. And so I think she also recognize that like, alright, lady, I'm here, let's make shit happen. I'm not staying more than 30 days. So you got 30 days to make something happen. And I was able to move the needle faster with this understanding, with this beautiful navigation of myself and a willingness to really use it the way that it was always intended. We're more than just a number we're more than just our type that's just kind of our home base and we go but there's all these other levers and directions we can take and detours we can take when the main road that we normally take isn't the right one to take. Right? And it provided me that very, very quickly. And then the next aha was oh shit. I have two children that have a totally different navigation system than me. And I've been trying to take them down all my roads all this time and no matter how well intended I was and how beautiful of a mom I am and it was never landing the way that would serve them best.Lesley Logan 15:06 That's so interesting. So like, first of all, I want to just highlight like, I love that you're saying you're more than just a number because all Enneagram people say, what's your number? And I was like, it's kind of like, what's your sign? And even like astrologist would say, okay.Tracy O'Malley 15:17 And I love that too. Lesley Logan 15:18 Yeah. And it's like, it's not just your sign, because like, you also have a moon sign, a sun sign, we have a whole chart, a nd like, where the moon, like, everything is changing all the time. So the Enneagram makes me feel like a birth chart. And if you want, if you got astrology, guys, it's kind of like that. And there's these areas that you can tap into. And so what you're basically saying is, you are navigating their life through the way that works best for you. But because of their Enneagram and their needs, that's not going to work for them, that's not going to be their strength, it's not going to be their motivation, it's not going to be their way to tap into things. And so basically, it's like, if you're trying if you're an Aquarius guys, you're trying to make your Cancer, like, here, read your brain. That's not gonna work.Tracy O'Malley 15:58 Exactly. Exactly. And low key. I was judging them for not being motivated like me and low key, I was like, I'm not, like I was frustrated with them, and low key I was like,oh, my god, I'm failing them. And, you know, about day two, when I understood myself sitting in rehab, understanding and reading this, and then realizing that there's eight other languages and other different navigation systems. And I was hightailing it to figure out where my kids fell in this, so that I could serve them better. Not necessarily to put them in a box or label them or say, you're this, and you're that, but like, how can I create a win win, where they trust me, they know that they are seen, heard, understood and valued for who they were divinely made to be? And how can I speak to them in a way that builds credibility and trust and empower them to move forward. And when I got home, you know, I didn't come home and say, Oh, my God, the Enneagram I never talked about the Enneagram for the next five fucking years. But I was using it as a navigation system, every conversation I had with my kids., and then out in business and beyond, I was trying to ask questions that would help me kind of pinpoint where they fell in this beautiful framework, so that I could speak to them in a way that served them. And within days of coming home, and really being more curious and intentional with the way that I spoke, the the temperature and the culture in my home changed immediately. And they were teenagers at the time. And if you've ever been around teenagers, that's not an easy task, especially with the track record I had, you know, I was kind of an authoritarian in my house is very good and tactical, and they didn't have to worry about certain things. But it was like my way or the frickin highway, a lot of time. And that tone shifted, because of my understanding of this and speaking to them in a way that served them better. And when that happened, I could see that like, they started coming to me with everything, instead of the teenager. sneaky shit. They're like, Mom, this stuff's happening. We're scared. We don't know what to do. And because of me, knowing where they fell, the way they were motivated, the way that they feared, the way that they perceived the world, I could speak to it and not try to convince them to see it my way. And in turn, here's the beauty of this whole fucking thing is they taught me more about myself, because of my willingness to see through their lens too.Lesley Logan 18:27 Yeah, it's so beautiful. Oh, and I, what I'm also loving is that, like, you took this skill set that you had this gift of like seeing people and using that to navigate the world to survive. And the way you shifted, it was to use it to thrive. So everyone's thriving now, not just you. And I think that also is really cool. Like, the way I'm kind of now more intrigued about Enneagram. What you're saying is like, it's actually not so much about your number, it's actually more about the other people on the wheel and where they land. And so because if you can, if you can support that, if you know what their fear, way of fearing is or the know what their motivation is, you can support that journey. And if you support them, it'll, like you just said, it'll give back to you.Tracy O'Malley 19:12 100% and, you know, I'm raising two types that are very different than me and different from each other. And they both, their strengths and the way they're motivated. They are the two areas of my life that I probably needed the most growth in and so they are my greatest teachers to this day. And because of that, I bring something to the table that they absolutely need and they're more willing to lean into it. So we are like this beautiful, polarizing team, the three of us, you know, they're they're 26 and 27 now, and you know, they're my favorite people in the world and I am theirs and we're all very, very different but like when you have three very different polarizing motives, fears, the way that they see the world when you understand each other, you're bulletproof, but when you don't, that's when it's like fucking Fight Club, which it was, you know, back 15 years ago when I was starting this because it was just like trying to make each other see things in ways that we didn't understand. And it was like this power struggle rather than this, like, this is who we are. Let's leverage this to make this beautiful for us all.Lesley Logan 20:24 Yeah. (Inaudible) So fascinating, because like, you could be going, no, this is the way you need to see it. And the way you're doing that is activating the fear in them. So they're not even willing. And also, especially with teenagers, and just kids in general, most people don't know how to articulate what they're feeling. They don't how to articulate what they're feeling is fear. So like, then you're just like, you're not making sense that you don't even like what I'm saying. So I think this, okay. This is really, really, really cool. So you come home and you start to you use it, you said you didn't even talk about it for five years. When did it transition from you utilizing it support your life to you like doing this as something that you put out into the world?Tracy O'Malley 21:02 Yeah, so it got crazy. So you know, when I went into rehab, I walked away from the career that I had, which was 15 years in the car industry, very masculine energy, you know, which my intense robust ego worked very well in that industry. I was great at what I did, and I fucking hated every second of it. You know, it was very soul sucking, very cutthroat, which I like, but just not integrity filled. And when I walked into rehab, I also walked away from my career. So when I got out, I was like, okay, I'm 40 now, what do I want to be when I grow up, and I accidentally fell into a network marketing company. And now female-dominated. And I was like, I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be soft in all of that. But I better fucking learn. And thank God, I was armed with the Enneagram because I was like, okay, let's test this thing. Let's test this thing. So I started every conversation and in order to build and I was very successful, within two years, I took that business from zero to a million-dollar income and on paper I was very least likely to do that. But with this understanding in this beautiful navigation system, every question like, how do I lead everyone, right? And the best statistic about that business was not the millions of dollars that I made, it was helping other people make millions of dollars that were different than me. So in that organization, there's like 100,000, salespeople now, and seven of them have gone on to make millions of dollars. They're represented by six different Enneagram types, and not one of them is an eight like me. That's my favorite statistic of all, is the ability to lead everyone. So you know, I started using it, started using it and because of the growth people were asking me, and I was speaking on stages in front of 20,000 people like how are you doing this? You're lit single mom that went to rehab with no social network? How did you make this happen? And I'm like, I leveraged every single person, I made every single person in front of me a leader. And how did I do that? Because I spoke to who they are, not who I wanted them to be. And I was using this tool the whole time, nobody knew it. Part of me really liked having the secret weapon nobody knew about. But part of me is like, I just got good at it, I was using my divine gifts. And the Enneagram provided me a language to put to it and a system that I already had. But then 2017 happened and I got really sick. And I got sidelined. And around the same time. And I had already kind of felt this pull that I knew there was something bigger that I was supposed to be doing. And that little girl in me, when I was like, I knew that I would be doing something like this. But my robust ego also really liked making millions of dollars a year doing something very easy. That came very easy to me, I wasn't going to stop that. And so like there was this divine intervention, and this forced sabbatical with my health, that forced me to kind of get still, again, which I don't necessarily love. I get it. But I don't love it. And it was during this time that the Enneagram became trendy. And it pissed me off. Because I've been using it at this point for six years, five, six years. And it became the cutesy thing and I was fucking angry about it. I was like, you guys are missing the beauty and the power of this tool. So I didn't hop on it because it was trendy. I hopped on it because I was mad about it. Because I was like, that's totally anything too, don't do things just because it's cool. It's like, no, you guys are doing it wrong. And I'm about to disrupt what you guys believe about this. And then I came out of the Enneagram closet and reveal like how I built that business and made leaders was understanding this framework and knowing where people fell in it with out assessments without test without me even saying what's your fucking Enneagram type? I got so good at where are you motivated? And then if I felt like I got it, I would know because hello, we could make shit happen, right? And so when it became trendy, I was like, okay, I'm gonna show you guys actually how to use this thing, because you're just, you're learning about your type, but you're missing the mark if you don't know all the things that are connected to you, like you said earlier, like me learning about the other types is actually beneficial because my aid tool, which is my main source is usually not the right tool for the job. So I better know how to use the other dynamics that are connected to me in order to be the best version of myself. And so people were like, Oh, my God, you've been using this this whole time. I'm like, yeah, let me show you how. And so people started bringing me into masterminds and group coaching programs. And, you know, big Fortune 500 companies are now having me on retainer as their executive coach using this language. Right? It's a (inaudible) language. I know. I mean, Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, John Deere, have all brought me in to teach them this language. Because when we understand each other, we understand everything. And when we understand each other, we build credibility and trust, and we build a culture that's bulletproof. And that wins. So I was like, Who knew that the girl who showed up in rehab and told her therapist to fuck off when she said, I want you to do the Enneagram is now teaching it to millions of people all over the world.Lesley Logan 26:39 I mean, it's crazy. It's also amazing. It's also it's like, it definitely is like 'what we resist is there to assist' kind of a thing. You know, I've definitely, okay, but hold on. So you went from like, being in car sales and then in network marketing, and then to speaking in front of people? Are you a natural speaker? Did you like speaking in front of people? How do you prepare for that?Tracy O'Malley 27:00 You know, it's so funny, because I get a lot of people who want to be speakers and like, the best speakers are the ones who never wanted to be a speaker. Honestly, like, it was never about that. For me, I'm great at it. I mean, I'm not polished at all. Like, I'm not like, specially trained, but I can move a room and I can make an impact. In fact, I was the girl in college that would vomit. Before my communications class. In high school, I was really good in music and things like in sports. But if they wanted me to do like a solo, like, I'm like, I'm out. I don't want to be this. I like to fly under the radar. I like to be stealthy. And so when they started putting me on stages, I was like, this was never my calling. But I know that the impact I'm here to make is really important. And I'm going to get over my myself. Even as a little girl, when I was reading maps, like I grew up reading maps, for a reason. I always wanted to understand how we got here, and how do we get from here to there. And the fact that, you know, if you take my my whole life, and connect all the dots, they all mattered, and they all can, lays a trail for somebody else. And I still, like speaking I'm good at it. But it's not my favorite thing to do. It's not my greatest work. I'd much rather be in the trench with somebody. I'd much rather like, okay, like, let me impact you so you can go impact millions, right? I like to be more of this invisible, like 911 call, which I am to a lot of people. Like when hell's breaking loose, like my phone's ringing. And nobody knows about it. And I love that, like, that's my favorite work to do. But bringing the voice to something like this. And something like a story like mine, I think is really important to kind of make that impact. And because I'm not polished and because I'm real. I think we need more of that. So, I'll continue to do it.Lesley Logan 29:05 I completely agree. I think it's really true. I think it's really easy for people to see a polished speaker and go oh my gosh, they like, first of all, you'll hear a polished speaker tell a story similar to yours and go and you will forget how bad it was because just this polished thing and then you put yourself like that's, that's where I have to be. And it's like actually, like they had coaches, they had help. But also, people nowadays are more likely to want the realness and Chelsea Peitz, she's been on the podcast. She's a social media coach. And she actually said that there's, I forget the law, you guys, it's on her Instagram account, but like, there was like some sort of like, law of physics, but law does a different title, which is like, people are more likely to trust you if they if they already liked you. And then they see you make a mistake and they see you keep going. They're actually more likely to trust you. So in her example, it's like, you know, screwing up, you know, in your reel or having a misspeak and then correcting that in a podcast or speeche is actually more valuable to building trust than if you say it perfectly right every single time.Tracy O'Malley 30:05 That's one of the things that I love about your podcast, too. Like the be it till you see it. You just, I knew as a little girl this is what I was gonna be doing. It was never what I wanted. But I was like, okay, and you know, when I knew that I would be speaking and nobody was there. Nobody knew who the hell I was. But I knew that this calling was on my life. And sometimes when the calling is calling, and you're gonna get called out to get called up and, and all the things I was like, alright, well, I'm just going to speak as though I've been speaking to arenas. And I never have a signature keynote. I'm not saying not knocking anybody that does. But the reason I get asked back a lot is because you're gonna get something different every time and you never know what it's going to be. And I think people really appreciate that, because that's fucking life. Life on life's terms is really, really hard. And a pretty polished signature keynote isn't going to create transformation. It might make somebody cry, it might make somebody buy some shit. But I am here to accelerate transformation and really disrupt somebody's life so that they can step into who they were always designed to be. And I wish somebody had done that for me. And so, you know, when I get asked why I do what I do, it's like, I would have died for me back 23 years ago, when I really started diving in and understanding that the biology of who I am, the biography that I came from, the behaviors that didn't serve me anymore, and this backstory really were gonna matter for something. It was like, all right, bring it. Let's, let's see what's going to happen here. And it's still like, it's uncomfortable sometimes. But I know that I never remember anything that I say either. Ever.Lesley Logan 31:52 Yeah, I understand that. Especially because like, I also get like, a vulnerability hangover. Where am I after like, did I say the wrong thing? Did I say too much? You know what I mean? And it's like, well, what did I say? I don't even remember. So I'll have to just wait till it comes out. And I go was it too much? I don't know. To trust, it's right for that person. You know, I want to, for the person listening, it was like, okay, hold on, hold on, now. You, and it's like a be it till you see it story for you. How did you go from like, throwing up a communications class before you spoke in front of the room to like actually talking from arenas. Do have a mantra? Do you have a practice? Like, how did you get yourself to feel comfortable up there? Or do you still not?Tracy O'Malley 32:30 I'm very comfortable up there. Because it's never about me, right? I think humility, sobriety, my commitment to do the work every day. You know, one of the things that I learned and I carry with me every day, that, you know, I'm not like every day is a new clean slate. And what I have is a daily reprieve that's contingent on the maintenance of my spiritual condition, the maintenance of it, and every day, like that comes first. And so that humility of like, I know that my life is going to turn out beautiful, as long as I don't make it all about me, right? That I'm going to be safe. Yes, I'm going to get uncomfortable. But when we kind of approach, everything we do, it's like, who can I serve today, and not from a codependent like giving to get kind of way like, I'm here to be a vessel of change for him, and I will be beautifully, abundantly rewarded by that. The minute I stopped making it about me, this got a lot easier. There is no mantras because, and that's when when I do remember what I say, on a stage or on a podcast. It's because I made it about me, because it was like scripted, bullet pointed all the things but when I'm like, Who am I going to serve today? I know that if I impact the one person in the room that needs to hear this, they're gonna go out and make a difference in this world. And my job is done. Like it's amazing. It's amazing. And so just remembering that this is for the greatest good, and I will get mine. And it may not look the way that I want. But there isn't necessarily a mantra but humble, humble, humble, humble, humble, and doing my own work every day. It was funny. I've never branded myself, believe it or not. It's amazing that I've have this amazing business that I've had over the last decade because I've never done I'm so messy. There is no, nothing Lesley, have I ever done that is planned. I've never launched. I've never had any kind of marketing, nothing. It's all been pure instincts and intuition for me. And although that has served me very well and served the people really well. I also recognize that I'm not making the impact I'm making. I'm not making the impact I want to make because there's this visibility kind of breakdown in like people hear about me. In fact, you, you probably heard about me from our friend Jake. And then you went to my social and you're like, this doesn't, like,I hear how great she is. but this shit sucks. Facts. I mean, not saying that you said that. Lesley Logan 35:11 I didn't say that. But I was like, wow, Jake, she's not very, like, I just, you don't say enough about you? That's true. Tracy O'Malley 35:19 Bingo. Bingo. So I have hired a creative director who I fucking love. She's amazing. And we're excavating a lot of my story. And it's like, the vulnerability that comes with that, and like, I'm terrified of it and equally, really excited because it's bringing this whole collection of 52 years of my life. And why I was born to do this and why I was born to help other people kind of navigate the hard things in their life and why I'm the person to do that. It's very, very confronting for me. And also like, it feels like a big warm hug. And it feels like that little girl that was reading maps all by herself, trying to figure this shit out on her own, is all of a sudden saying, yay, all of this is going to help people in a way that we've always wanted. It's so cool. It's so cool.Lesley Logan 36:13 It's so cool. And I love that you bring up I mean, like the be it till you see it came from like, peopl always asking me like, how are you so confident? Like, how do you get all these things done? And I was like, what are you talking about? Like, I'm, like, scared all the time. Like, I'm constantly like, like, wondering, like, Is this, are we doing the right thing? Is this the right thing? But I always take the end in mind, and I work backwards. And then I act like the person, I do the things that that end would get me now. And that's where this came from. And I will always attribute it to Amy Cuddy, because she actually is the person who formulated that sentence for me in her TED Talk, like, she doesn't know me, and, you know, shout at anyone who knows Amy, we're trying to get a hold of her. But, it's interesting thing, like, we, it's tempting to put everything in a box from our childhood ago that was traumatic, that caused me to be like this, instead of actually going, okay, if it wasn't like that, I wouldn't be this person, I wouldn't have these tools, skill sets, and I wouldn't have had to do the things I've had to do to become the person I am. And also, there's a, there's a part of you in there that like was already doing these things in your own little way. And it's a strength you've had for much longer than you give yourself credit for. So I think it's just really, really cool. Like, I could talk to you forever, I see it really good. But we're gonna take a brief break and find how people can work with you. Lesley Logan 37:25 Alright, Tracy, so one of the things I love is that you're not all about just figuring out the number, you truly want to help people understand how to utilize this tool in their life. So they can literally make the impact they want to make. So can you tell everyone how they can work with you and find you?Tracy O'Malley 37:39 So there's a few different ways. I have a podcast that has over 400 episodes. So if you're like curious about this, before you go down the rabbit hole of all the other shit that's out there, just go listen to my podcast. I talk about leadership, you know, because I think this is all coming from this legendary leadership, this legend that you are created to be, right? And how we lead ourselves will impact how we can go out in the world and lead in our homes and out in the professional world as well. And so a lot of my teachings using the Enneagram is self leadership and then leading beyond you. You can go to TracyOMalley.com to start with the Enneagram. I always say it's a great starting point especially if you've been through anything in your life and you feel like you're all over the place. You're throwing a bunch of crap up at the wall hoping something sticks like my Enneagram assessment's over 95% accurate. Start there because then it kind of sifts through and you'll know, okay, this is what motivates me. This is the fear this is my blind spot. Like I at least I know that and you can meet yourself with more compassion instead of the whipping shame stick. So go there. We have a code for your audience. If you go to TracyOMalley.com and you get the assessment and use the code, be it, you'll get a beautiful little special discount.Lesley Logan 39:01 We love that. We love that, guys. I, this is, I think this is, first of all, 400 episodes. I'm gonna start binging on all of that just so I can learn more. And I think it's just really a gift that you've given everyone the amount of effort and work you've put out there. I hope more people get to hear about you because it's going to change their lives. So, B-E-I-T guys. We'll put the link in the show notes.Tracy O'Malley 39:27 Yeah, you know, I also go in I work with a lot of teams as well because what usually happens is once you kind of drink the Enneagram Kool-Aid, you can also do like a 90-minute deep dive. So it's kind of like, it's one thing to have the ticket, the Enneagram and understanding and having the right information. Hello, that's the cookie right there like having that, awesome. But I'm like somebody's like great. Now what do I do with this? I'm the girl who buys the fast pass everywhere I go. I need skipping lines like tell me what this means. And bring me to the front of the line. Like you can dive deep with me for 90 minutes. It's like 10 years of therapy, life frickin changing. So not only do you have the right information, I kind of tell you what to do with this in your life personally and professionally. So then what happens usually is once that happens, usually I get brought into a couple situations, or partners, or business partners, or besties, or parent-child situations, family situations, masterminds, groups, companies, like people are seeing the profound understanding that this can have like when you understand the profound effect it can have in cohesiveness and culture, personally and professionally, that they want everybody to do it. And I am the master facilitator for that. So if you have teams or organizations bring me in, it's like, I'm way more than the Enneagram y'all like, that's just the tool that I use. I have, you know, 23 years of really diving deep into a lot of modalities to really help you make sense of yourself and those that you love and lead.Lesley Logan 41:05 So cool. I have already, like, my mind's already thinking, my husband's gonna listen to this. And I'm like, maybe you know, have someone interpret.Tracy O'Malley 41:13 We can do a topical session podcast episode. I can do, like, therapy.Lesley Logan 41:16 Well, because you're, you know, like, we have the Strength Finders 2.0, which is always very helpful. Like, we use it for our team. But it's like, it's kind of like what you do and not the how to do it. Yeah, so like, the Enneagram is very much like on how you do things like the why behind the, the why, sorry, the why is more important because we work together. And so if someone's like, why are you doing it like that? And other times he's like, why are you getting so upset? I'm like, I think it's because I'm a seven and you're a four, three or whatever. Tracy O'Malley 41:42 Oh yea, like, seriously, my relationship that I'm in, my romantic relationship, there's no way it survives without my understanding and understanding how to integrate that because I would have probably throat punched him, you know, years ago, because he would have been so triggering to me when he's under stress, like under, but understanding that even when it feels personal, like it's not. And this is the beauty of that is like, yeah, this doesn't feel good. And like, I don't like your behaviors right now. But I understand it isn't, it isn't about me. And how can I serve you and be a better partner for you? And yeah, I had good friends of mine, clients, they had me come do their team, right? They did like a team retreat. And then they have a podcast as well and they're sex therapist, like, and then I did like a couple session on air with them. It was so much fun. Oh, and every once in a while I get calls. They're like, okay, he's acting like this, what does this mean?Lesley Logan 42:39 You have to have, you have to have like a Voxer membership, where people can just pay you like, hey, Tracy, hold on. Before I let you go, bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us?Tracy O'Malley 42:52 So I think that, you know, we hear like, awareness is everything. Yeah, that's the first part. But most of us go from awareness to like, how do I fix this? How do I make this stop? Right? Especially in the times we live in, we go from this awareness to action, awareness to action, and we skip this really fucking important part of called acknowledgement, right? And this is where we connect the dots. And the Enneagram can help you connect them faster. So that's why I love this tool so much. But also really diving into biography not to stay stuck, you know, I used to be somebody like I'm not looking back, I'm not going that way. But we really have to be able to reverse engineer, how we got here, and where even some of the behaviors that you and I have had that worked out, okay, for us, weren't necessarily coming from the healthiest of places, they were more for survival. And, yes, that's fine. But that's not sustainable or fulfilling, and you'll burn out. Right? So taking the time in this understanding your biography, doing some timeline work, I really, strongly encourage people, whenever I'm working with my private VIP clients, I send them a journal. And I say, divide it into three sections. And I want you to take at least a minimum of a five-minute walk every day. And with no technology, no multitasking, no podcast, I don't want you listening to anything, I want you to sit at the couch, lace up your shoes and invite the child inside of you for a conversation. And that's kind of where my journey started to unpack my timeline. And so as you start walking, and inviting, it's just like any relationship, you have to be consistent and committed to it. And even doing some of this inner child work, which is really fucking important, you guys, really important. You have to be consistent with it. So in this journal, I have them divided into three different categories and the first section is like zero to seven. The second section is eight to like 13 and the second or the third section is 14 and up and any kind of thoughts, feelings, memories and emotions that come up, even the littlest things, put in one of those sections, and start building this timeline of understanding this is how you're kind of going back and rerouting and seeing how you took this route, how you took this route, how you took this route, and where some of those patterns that serve you really well came from dysfunctional places, and how you can flip the script because those things are your superpowers, but they can also be the kryptonite in your life as well. And it's just a matter of understanding the come from and that we can switch the come from when we can meet ourselves with compassion. And when we understand that compassion comes when we understand that, at the root of everything that we're doing is a beautiful, beautiful child that is running scared. And we can (inaudible) that part of who we are, that's when we can shift this. And those things that maybe are the kryptonite in your life can become the superpowers. Like,the kryptonite in my life has always been my intensity. Like seriously, I can blow up my life on a dime, I could blow up a situation. And like be it be very, very disruptive. That intensity hasn't gone anywhere. I can still blow some shit up. But now it's coming from a place of love, compassion, empathy, service, grace, rather than fear, insecurity, unworthiness, shame, guilt, and ego. So get a journal, do the three, take a walk five minutes a day, invite that child in. One of the things that I do every morning is I do the walk. And I invite you know, whatever you believe in, I believe in a god that's bigger than me, good orderly direction, whatever that means to you. And I say any thoughts, feelings, memories, emotions that need to come up that I need to address, and reconcile or embrace so that I can step into the calling that you have on my life. I'm available for it, even if it's uncomfortable, and even if it's exciting, right? So that honestly, I know it sounds a little woo. But I'm telling you this, this is an action item that most people, they say I've done the inner work, check. I've done my inner child work. You don't fucking stop it. It's until you're dead, you guys. Yeah, it's until you're dead. Because as you build this and create a safe place for your inner child to come out and play, guess what he or she's got a lot more to say. And if you're like me and have five decades under your life, she's been stuffing shit for a long, long time. So the safer that I have created an environment for her to speak freely, and let her freak flag fly. She's got all sorts of shit she's wanting to say. And the more confident she gets in speaking it the more I don't sabotage my own shit in my life today.Lesley Logan 47:41 Oh my gosh, Tracy, like I could listen to you forever. Thank goodness, you have four episodes? To do. But I, I feel like we barely scratched the surface. Tracy O'Malley 47:51 We barely did. Lesley Logan 47:51 Yeah, well, I know we'll be having you back. But also, I just know that every single person listening to this, the thing that's keeping them from being it till they see it is the inner work that they maybe think they've done or thought they did or have been avoiding doing. And I love all the things you've offered us. You guys, go listen to the podcast, go take a look at that blueprint and also like work with you because it will change your life and you can start to see people you know, just like not even as powerful as Enneagram but when I read the four tendencies, and I was like, hold on. Okay, so Brad's probably a rebel. I'm an upholder. That's an interesting combination as a couple, here we go. But then I sort of see different people and like, like some people, like this person is so annoying, and like they're a questioner, and it is annoying. And they will get in their own way, because they'll just keep asking, but you know, once you can start to like pinpoint things. And so I feel like having the Enneagram being a guiding light as a compass is gonna make your life so much easier with the people around you, the people you're trying to support. Every single person this episode I know is trying to change people's lives. And whether it's five people or 5 million people like you have to understand how to serve them. And so Tracy, you're just amazing. Thank you for your gifts and thank you for sharing with us. I can't wait to hear how people are going to use these tips in your life.

We discuss a recent study which explores the use of AFT (Advanced Footwear Technology), or Super Shoes, during training and competition. The study describes the injuries sustained in amateur runners and we look at what that means for the integration of these shoes into training programmes. We review the racing from IRONMAN Australia and IRONMAN 70.3 St George at the weekend. Power posing is a concept largely popularized by Amy Cuddy, thanks to her viral TED talk and book, Presence, on the subject. The basic gist is that if we make ourselves feel large, like we are occupying more space–think Wonder Woman pose– then we'll feel more powerful. Steve Magness is a sport scientist and a track and field coach. He coaches competitors at all levels, including athletes who have competed in the World Championships and the Olympics. He is Head Cross Country coach at the University of Houston, a Lecturer of Strength and Conditioning at St. Mary's University, UK and author of three best-selling books, including the latest: The Passion Paradox. We share excerpts from The Sport Psych Show in which Steve Magness speaks about power posing in science and in practice; how feelings mediate an athlete's performance; challenge vs threat states; the brain/body connection; attention; and the result of failing to develop the psychological side.

For some of us, imposter syndrome is an anxiety generator. It goes to the heart of feeling worthy, being competent or having the right to be in a particular space. Doing this episode made me feel like an imposter. I can hear slurred words, tangents and howlers of editing. But here is the thing. I don't allow it to keep me from trying and doing. Sure, I could not do the show. Or hire and editor. Or let a freaking non-human try to emulate my speech patterns. I need to do this in order to get better. And it might take another eight years for that to happen. I have the time.

Brad Crowell 0:01 Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins. Lesley Logan 0:05 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:47 Hello, Be It babe. Happy March 1st. Oh my goodness. Here we are. How fun was it to have a leap year this year? So you are here for the Fuck Yeah Friday episode, which means I'm going to share a win of yours and a win of mine and an affirmation to kick off your weekend with something amazing. So shout out to my mom it's her birthday weekend.Lesley Logan 1:07 So this one is from Lisa Osoteo and she said this is a special FYF because it falls on LL's birthday. Okay, pause. You guys, this is for the listeners, I'm obviously behind on sharing people's FYF. This is from January but we're getting all of them out there as they go. So this one is about my birthday. But here back to Lisa. Okay, so this is my win I thought LL's birthday was on January 24th. So I told my students let's do the Amy Cuddy power pose in honor of LL. They stood there with their hands on their hips owning their fierce. And I thought how cool that I'm part of a community who stands in a power pose with me without batting an eye. I told my class I was going to do 41 acts of kindness that day in honor of LL until my friend, Mandi, informed me that LL's birthday is actually Friday, January 26th and that maybe I should consider spreading out these acts over a few days say, over 41. Mandi is so smart. So now Mandi and I invite all of you to join in on 41 acts of kindness, silly, fun, Be It generosity movement, divine tantrum, humor, creativity, joy, and of course, love to celebrate LL. You can do your inspired action in however many days, 41, and share your unique list with LL. So happy birthday, LL, we love you. Well, Lisa, I love you, and Mandi so much. And actually this is coming out right before you arrive at my house for a retreat. And I can see you and Mandi at a retreat in Cambodia. Lesley Logan 2:32 All right, my win. So I had, two years ago, I had this vision of having a bunch of people in my house for a Pilates retreat. And that meant that they had to be eLevate alumni, which means that this dream was like so in the future because, I thought at least a lot in the future, because I needed to have several people to go through eLevate two and invite to the retreat. And so it took us three rounds of eLevate to get to enough people where I felt like okay, I can invite some. And we're having it here at my house and I pull in all of my equipment I can fit in the living room. And my win is just that. I didn't give up on a dream that's two years ago. And I did all the work that got to where we can make this happen. And my team is behind me all every step of the way. And my family too, because they had to help us move all this equipment out of the room. And so, just want to celebrate because sometimes I think we have these dreams and these visions from so many years ago and when they come to fruition we're just like, oh it just took so long instead of going oh my God, I did that. So that's happening starting tomorrow. So I'm really just so stoked about this win that I'm celebrating it for the people who arrived, but it's just, it's just incredible to sit here in that goal, oh my God, this was a goal from years ago. And I had to do so many different things to get this goal to even be a reality. And I'm so grateful I did it because Lisa is one of the people who is going to be there.Lesley Logan 4:03 All right, the affirmation that I have for you today is this: Sometimes the work is resting. Sometimes the work is resting. What does that mean? It means sometimes we needed to stop working so hard to make things happen and just rest, just sit still, just let it be. So maybe there's something that you've been trying to make happen, a win you've been trying to make happen and that's impossible. So maybe you sit still and close your eyes and visualize that having already happened. And that rest might be the answer. Lesley Logan 4:39 So thank you so much for listening to the Be It Pod. You are incredibly amazing. You are the reason why we get the guests that we get and we have so much love for you. And until next time, Be It Till You See It.Lesley Logan 4:51 That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

AMY CUDDY: “True confidence is grounded in strong self esteem and the ability to take negative feedback and actually hear it right if it's constructive.” “Arrogance is sort of like a weapon that people use to prevent people from challenging them because they know there's nothing behind it. And so they've got to keep up that wall. And it does prevent people from challenging us, but not because they trust us, because they want to get rid of us." “Adopting powerful posture changes how you feel about yourself. And how you feel about yourself is going to really powerfully influence the body language you use in an interaction in a way that's organic." "[Bring] your boldest self to your biggest challenges."

Trends in Serum Testosteron Levels Among Adolescent and Young Adults Men in the United State. Presented at: 2020 AUA Virtual Experience; May 15, 2020. Abstract MP78-01. Impaired sleep is associated with low testosterone in US adult males: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Sleeping five instead of eight hours a night for a week lowered testosterone by around 15% Study on 531 Chinese men also found a link between sleep and testosterone. The more fat you carry, the lower your testosterone tends to be Study 1 Study 2 One study found that testosterone levels rise on days couples have sex and decline on days without it Another study found that sex increased testosterone by 72% A study by Amy Cuddy and her colleagues at Harvard University assessed how making postural changes impacts levels of stress hormones and testosterone. High power poses were able to increase testosterone meanwhile low power poses lowered testosterone This study moved subjects from a diet containing 40% of calories from fat to a diet containing 25% of calories from fat and then back to a 40% fat diet. Results showed that the low fat diet decreased testosterone levels significantly This study had 20 male university students with no previous resistance training experience follow a weight lifting plan three times per week. Thanks to this the students boosted their testosterone levels by 40% in four weeks, and they also lowered their resting cortisol levels by 24% Resistance training up-regulates testosterone receptors. This means your body can use testosterone more effectively BPA lowers testosterone and can cause erectile dysfunction Study 1 Study 2 In a study involving 2,299 men found that those with a sufficient vitamin D level had much higher testosterone than those who were deficient in this vitamin An eight-week study with 46-men with infertility problems found that 675-gram ashwagandha root extract increased serum testosterone levels by 17% compared to a placebo A study found that five grams of ashwagandha a day for 90 days increased testosterone by 16% to 40% in infertile men and by an average of 15% in fertile ones One group of “moderately stressed” participants increased their testosterone by 37% and lowered their cortisol by 16% as a result of consuming 200 mg of a tongkat ali extract for four weeks Tongkat Ali - suggested as influencing the release rate of “free” testosterone from its binding hormone, sex-hormone-binding-globulin (SHBG)
