Read Online“The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23:11–12Do you want to be truly great? Do you want your life to truly make a difference in the lives of others? Deep down this desire for greatness is placed within us by our Lord, and it will never go away. Even those who live eternally in hell will hold on to this innate desire, which for them will be the cause of eternal pain, since that desire will never be fulfilled. And sometimes it's useful to ponder that reality as a motivation to make sure that this is not the fate we encounter.In today's Gospel, Jesus gives us one of the keys to greatness. “The greatest among you must be your servant.” Being a servant means that you put others before yourself. You elevate their needs rather than trying to get them to be attentive to your needs. And this is difficult to do.It's very easy in life to think of ourselves first. But the key is that we do put ourselves “first,” in a sense, when we practically put others before us. This is because the choice to put others first is not only good for them, it's also exactly what is best for us. We were made for love. We were made to serve others. We were made for the purpose of giving of ourselves to others without counting the cost. But when we do this, we do not lose ourselves. On the contrary, it is in the act of giving of ourselves and seeing the other first that we actually discover who we are and become what we were created to be. We become love itself. And a person who loves is a person who is great...and a person who is great is a person whom God exalts. Reflect, today, upon the great mystery and calling of humility. If you find it difficult to put others first and to act as their servant, do it anyway. Make the choice to humble yourself before everyone else. Elevate their concerns. Be attentive to their needs. Listen to what they say. Show them compassion and be ready and willing to do so to the fullest extent. If you do, that desire for greatness that lives deep within your heart will be fulfilled.My humble Lord, thank You for the witness of Your humility. You chose to put all people first, even to the point of allowing Yourself to experience the suffering and death which was a consequence of our sins. Give me a heart that is humble, dear Lord, so that You can use me to share Your perfect love with others.  Jesus, I trust in You.Ford Madox Brown, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life!

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 0:48  Hi, Be It babe. How are you happy? March 14th 2025. Whoa. This year is flying. I'm really excited that you're here. I'm excited you're listening. I love this episode of each week. It has a special place in my heart because I get to celebrate things that you did, and I get to give you some inspiration, and I get to give you a mantra, and it kind of just makes me feel like I get to be in your ears, supporting you, hopefully, support you, and remind you you're doing amazing things. You're doing a really good job. Lesley Logan 1:14  So, the person who inspired me on the internet, this is really cool. I came from Her Midlife Empowerment and it's a Reese Witherspoon video, so I'm sure she's just reusing it. But basically, Reese was asked how she has the courage and confidence to do a job and all that stuff and to know that they're confident in it. And Reese was basically like, you don't wait to have confidence that you can do it. You actually just need to have the confidence to start. Because when you start, yes, you'll make mistakes, but you'll get better at it, and the more you do it, the more confidence you'll get. So you don't have to have confidence that you're going to be a great nurse. You just have the confidence to start to be a nurse. You don't have to have the confidence to be an entrepreneur. You just have the confidence to start the business you think. We just have to get started. The courage to get started needs to be celebrated. And I really love this. I'll make sure the link is in the show notes. But I just really thought it was so brilliant because one of the reasons this podcast exists is everyone thinks you're so confident in everything you do, you're so, you're so good. I'm scared to death, but I have enough confidence and courage to start the thing and then trust that I'll get pulled along the journey, and as it's going I get better. For example, I don't even know what number this is when it comes out. When I started, I did not think I was confident as a podcast host, but I was definitely confident I could start to be a podcast host. And so the first episodes probably are a little bit weird. I'm still working on things out, but I've gotten so much better, and now I'm very confident in being on anyone's podcast, or having any guest on the show, like I'm very confident. Having my favorite guest on Episode 400 didn't scare me, because I was really ready for them, right? So thanks, Reese for that amazing reminder that we don't need to have the confidence to be something. We have to have the confidence to start to do the thing. Lesley Logan 2:55  So now, a win of yours. This one is from Stephanie Eder, also an eLevate grad and an agency member. I threw a kick ass holiday party charity drive for my clients this week. Music suites, table, photo booth with the Grinch appearing. I love that. Pilates, trivia prizes from local businesses and Korean beauty facials. I'm selling the product at my studio starting in January, so it gave me early exposure. So I don't think it would have been as good without the help of LL. We discussed the party on my quarterly call. She helped with the little details like the goodie bag and approaching businesses. She had the ideas of doing all the things, for-your-feet goodie bag, a branded rally towel, marbles, pencil and thick rubber band. She made sure I thought of all the elements to make it a success. So many thank yous for my clients and great event to create community. My husband was a trooper and jack of all trades helper last night, and made a comment that it was such a nice group of people. I really felt that last night, and felt very lucky to have all these people in my life. So Stephanie, it was so fun to plan your holiday party for your business with you. It's one of my favorite things to think about. I think it's still been fabulous, because I definitely didn't think about the Grinch with the photo booth. That's great. And you had to go and do all those things, right? So thank you for having the call and asking me that question so we could just brainstorm and dream up, because there's no bad idea in a brainstorm. And I'm so happy that they loved it so much. I mean, really, I wish I could be there. I wish I could have been there. I would have loved to have taken a picture of the Grinch, and I would love to meet everyone, but you attract amazing people. You really do. I have been able to meet them, and you really do. So I want to highlight these wins, because the win for Stephanie is the event of it all, as opposed to, sometimes we're like, okay, into the holiday party, then get me 17 other things. No, it's the actual, a party itself. You threw this party. Many people don't, or if they do, they half ass it, but you were intentional about it, and celebrating your intentionality is so worthwhile. It's so amazing. Lesley Logan 4:44  All right, I'm going to give you one more win from you guys today. It's from Mary Dellanina. Mary's went on retreats with us and on Agency, and she wrote, wins the past few months. So, great coaching call with Rachel Piper, who gave me the words to move on from my current studio. A new student stated that my onboarding process was the easiest he's worked with. I was the fifth Pilates studio who tried to get an appointment with they need LL. Yes, Mary, they do. My gosh. Also, let's just shout out. What a win. This guy kept trying different places, and you were number five. That's amazing. Number three, I've had two sessions, my first professional athlete, a professional baseball player. He's so easy to work with as each movement matters. He's loving how each movement is challenging him. He shows me how the movements work with him and how he has to bat, which is very fun and interesting. Fourth, my December is extremely busy. I'm happy about this. And I'm headed to bike in Chile, and then a hike in Patagonia in January. Oh my God. Fifth, this is my last quarter on my home studio. I'm afraid, excited and sad. I've lived in the same area for 37 years and grown this business for the past 10 years. But I know my move will be a win for my spirit. It really is going to be exciting, Mary. Number six, wishing you all a blessed holiday season and a 2025 that feels right for you. And number seven, I'll be hosting my first retreat, which people will travel to in 29 Palms California. I'm excited to be in the desert and share it with others. We absolutely love the Palm Springs area. It's so fun. We were there in January as well, Mary, and these wins are just beautiful. I love that you collected them, and I love that you have a variety and just got to see how all these different things you're doing, you're making big challenges, like changing a studio space can be so scary, and yet it served its purpose, and now it's time to go to another purpose, go to another space. You know, we've all, never want to overstay our welcome at a party, right? So thank you for sharing that. Lesley Logan 6:34  Okay, a win of mine. So my win is that I have been working really hard at giving myself permission that what I did was enough. And this is not easy, and I actually do not think that I'm great at this yet, but I don't like to drive at night like a thing, like I just really don't, and it really stresses me out. And I was feeling really overwhelmed by it, and I was feeling like I would let our household down if I didn't drive through the night. And I gave myself permission to check in with myself at the halfway point, not the halfway but almost half, more than halfway point. And then I could stay if I needed to, and sleep, and then I could go. And I know this sounds like oh, Lesley, don't drive if you're tired, but I wanted to be someone who could get all the way to where we're going, but I also felt pressure doing that. At any rate, this was my first challenge for myself for the year. I was driving our new-to-us car, used car, but a new-to-us car home from Tempe at night, and I did it, and I was so proud of myself, but also, when we got to our stopping point, I even allowed myself to go you can stay here if you want. What you've done is enough. And having a little self-talk, little self-chatter was really helpful. Having a little self-talk and a little self-chatter was really helpful, not only to get all the way home, but to realize I was doing a great job, and I actually was awake and I wasn't tired. And I share that with you, because I think we all have these conversations with ourselves, and we always when we wonder, like, did I do enough? Self-evaluating or judging, even today, something happened in my text messages, and I was like, oh my God, did I do the wrong thing? And then I was, hold on, I did all the things right. I don't know what's going on, but I can't control that, so I'm gonna let that go. It's a daily conversation. It's really annoying. My Be It loves, like, this daily conversation of talking to yourself about what's real, what are we making up? What is possible, what are we doing? But in doing that so far this year, like I'm having a much better year and having a more confident year, and there's a lot more kindness in it. So essentially, basically, to sum it up, my win is that I did a thing. I didn't force myself to do more than I could. I was able to do more than I thought. And it wasn't because I pushed myself, it's because I could do it, and that's great. So if you can take anything from it, just ask yourself, if this is all I can do today, okay, great. I did it. That's what I needed to do, and celebrate that. It's going to help. It's going to make your life so much easier. Lesley Logan 9:02  So your mantra is from the Deck of Plenty. I break bread with all priestesses of pleasure, and I co-create with those who adore the wild within me. I break bread with all priestesses of pleasure, and I co-create with those who adore the wild within me. Ooh, that's fun. That's a fun one. That one means you gotta get excited, gotta find the wild in you. She will have it. Lesley Logan 9:27  Thank you guys for being amazing listeners. Thank you for being you. We couldn't do this podcast without you. And so I hope that you send in wins of yours, send in people that inspire you, so we can celebrate them and until next time, Be It Till You See It.Lesley Logan 9:27  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Here we are going to provide an overview of basic run mechanics and things that I look for when doing a run assessment. I always do run assessments on the treadmill to make sure I have a controlled view and position relative to the athlete. This allows me to get a front, side and rear view of the athlete without having the angle or distance change during the video process. Body Lean Description: The angle of the torso relative to the ground. Purpose: Proper body lean can improve running efficiency and reduce the risk of injury by promoting a forward momentum.   Elbow Angle Description: The angle between the upper arm and forearm. Purpose: Optimal elbow angle (usually around 90 degrees) helps in maintaining balance and rhythm, reducing unnecessary energy expenditure.   Joint Alignment Description: The alignment of joints (shoulders, hips, ankles) during running. Purpose: Proper alignment ensures efficient movement patterns and reduces the risk of overuse injuries.   Foot Strike Angle Description: The angle at which the foot contacts the ground. Purpose: Determines the type of foot strike (heel, midfoot, forefoot) which can affect running efficiency and injury risk.   Cadence Description: The number of steps taken per minute. Purpose: Higher cadence (around 180 steps per minute) is often associated with reduced impact forces and improved running economy.   Vertical Displacement Description: The amount of vertical movement of the body during running. Purpose: Minimizing vertical displacement can improve running efficiency by reducing wasted energy.   Shoulder Stability Description: The ability to maintain stable shoulder positioning. Purpose: Stable shoulders help in maintaining proper posture and reducing unnecessary upper body movement.   Limb Movement Description: The movement patterns of the arms and legs. Purpose: Efficient limb movement contributes to overall running efficiency and balance.   Pelvic Stability Description: The ability to maintain a stable pelvis during running. Purpose: Pelvic stability is crucial for proper force distribution and reducing the risk of lower back and hip injuries.   Rich - Heel Height Symmetry Description: The height of the heel during the swing phase of the gait cycle. Purpose: Symmetrical heel height indicates balanced and efficient running mechanics.   Pronation/Supination Description: The inward (pronation) or outward (supination) roll of the foot during the gait cycle. Purpose: Proper pronation helps in shock absorption, while excessive pronation or supination can lead to injuries.   Foot Strike Position Description: The position of the foot relative to the body when it contacts the ground. Purpose: Ideal foot strike position (under the hips) promotes efficient running mechanics and reduces injury risk.   Rich - Triple Springs and Elastic Recoil Measurements Hip Flexion Description: The angle of the hip joint when the thigh moves towards the torso. Purpose: Adequate hip flexion is important for stride length and running efficiency.   Hip Extension Description: The angle of the hip joint when the thigh moves away from the torso. Purpose: Proper hip extension contributes to powerful push-off and forward propulsion.   Knee Flexion Description: The angle of the knee joint when the lower leg moves towards the thigh. Purpose: Optimal knee flexion helps in shock absorption and energy storage.   Knee Extension Description: The angle of the knee joint when the lower leg moves away from the thigh. Purpose: Proper knee extension is crucial for efficient push-off and stride length.   Ankle Flexion Description: The angle of the ankle joint when the foot moves towards the shin (dorsiflexion). Purpose: Adequate ankle flexion is important for foot clearance and shock absorption.   Ankle Extension Description: The angle of the ankle joint when the foot moves away from the shin (plantarflexion). Purpose: Proper ankle extension contributes to powerful push-off and forward propulsion.   These measurements collectively help in analyzing and improving running mechanics, leading to better performance and reduced injury risk.   Here are short descriptions of some common running drills:   High Knees Description: Running in place while lifting your knees as high as possible. Purpose: Improves hip flexor strength, running form, and cardiovascular fitness.   Butt Kicks Description: Running in place while kicking your heels up towards your glutes. Purpose: Enhances hamstring flexibility and strength, and improves running mechanics.   Strides Description: Short bursts of running at a faster pace, usually 50-100 meters. Purpose: Helps improve speed, running form, and prepares the body for faster running.   Skipping Description: Skipping forward with exaggerated arm and leg movements. Purpose: Improves coordination, rhythm, and strengthens the lower body muscles.   Bounding Description: Long, exaggerated strides with a focus on distance and height. Purpose: Enhances power, strength, and running efficiency.   Carioca (Grapevine) Description: Sideways running with a crossover step pattern. Purpose: Improves lateral movement, coordination, and hip flexibility.   A-Skip Description: Skipping with a focus on driving the knee up and forward. Purpose: Enhances hip flexor strength, coordination, and running form.   B-Skip Description: Similar to A-Skip but with an added extension of the leg forward. Purpose: Improves hamstring flexibility, coordination, and running mechanics.   Heel Walks Description: Walking on your heels with toes pointed upwards. Purpose: Strengthens the muscles in the front of the lower leg and improves ankle stability.   Toe Walks Description: Walking on your toes with heels lifted off the ground. Purpose: Strengthens the calf muscles and improves balance and stability.   These drills can help improve various aspects of running mechanics, strength, and overall performance.   Get Gritty Tip: Find the right scene. Daily Stoic, March 9 “Above all, keep a close watch on this—that you are never so tied to your former acquaintances and friends that you are pulled down to their level. If you don't, you'll be ruined. . . . You must choose whether to be loved by these friends and remain the same person, or to become a better person at the cost of those friends . . . if you try to have it both ways you will neither make progress nor keep what you once had.” —EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 4.2.1; 4–5” ― Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living   Prioritizing Growth and Improvement: The quote emphasizes the importance of choosing personal growth over maintaining the status quo. For a triathlete, this means focusing on training, improving techniques, and pushing beyond current limits, even if it means spending less time with friends who may not share the same goals.   Surrounding Yourself with Supportive People: It suggests that the company you keep can significantly impact your progress. A triathlete should seek out a community of like-minded individuals who encourage and support their athletic ambitions, rather than those who might inadvertently hold them back.   Making Tough Choices for Long-Term Success: The quote highlights the necessity of making difficult decisions to achieve long-term goals. For a triathlete, this could involve sacrificing certain social activities or habits that are not conducive to their training regimen, in order to become a better athlete.   TriDot Workout/Drill of the Week:    “Interval Run” Alright, runners, it's time to lace up and lock in—because this week's TriDot Workout of the Week is all about speed, endurance, and dialing in that perfect pacing strategy. We're talking interval runs! Now, if you've ever gone out way too hot in an interval session, only to end up in survival mode by the last rep—congrats, you're human! But today, we're going to do this right. This workout is designed to push your top-end speed in Zone 5 while teaching you how to stay controlled, efficient, and powerful through every interval. Warm-up:  2-3 min jog followed by 2x10 yards or meters of each drill:  High Knees Ankle Springs Hopping Carioca/Grapevine B Skips Walking Lunges   2 x 40-60 yard or meter Strides Leg Swings Main Set:  4 x 4 min @ Z5 (4 min) or  4 x 600 @ Z5 (4 min)   Balance of time @ Z2 Session Note As with all interval runs, be sure to hold a consistent pace throughout the session. Not too fast at first only to go too slow at the end. Focus on maintaining excellent form and staying relaxed during your stride. Push yourself and stay positive and determined despite how you feel during the session. Your recovery periods are full rest, but keep moving.   The key to nailing this session? Hold steady. Don't burn out in the first rep and turn the last one into a death march. Keep that form crisp, stay relaxed, and when it starts to hurt—because it will—remind yourself that this is where the magic happens.   Fun Segment: Triathlon Guilty Pleasures

So the event still happened, but the story we tell ourselves about that event that is something that we can change. And he said the ketamine really helps you dig in, because, well, first off, he said the most challenging aspect of trauma is that we feel like it can define us, and ketamine helps you see the traumatic events with a new perspective, detaching from the overwhelming emotions and allowing for more objective processing. Lesley Logan 0:31  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 1:10  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the eye-opening convo I had with Sam Mandel in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now go back and listen to that one or you can listen to this one and then listen to that one. You can listen, too, in whatever order you want. I found it to be really fascinating.Brad Crowell 1:35  Yeah, actually, I always find it funny that people tell us we've clearly said this almost 300 times now, or 250 times now saying you could pick if you want to watch one, listen to one first or the other, or watch and. Lesley Logan 1:48  People need permission. Brad Crowell 1:49  But then when people meet us, they say, oh, I'm really enjoying your recap. So I listen to them first and then go back. Or other people are like, I don't know. I have to listen to this first versus the I can't listen (inaudible).Lesley Logan 1:59  They want to guess. They want to know if their takeaway is what we're going to talk about, which I think is really fascinating. I think it's also what a great personality test.Brad Crowell 2:08  Yeah. I don't know what conclusions we're drawing from it but yes. Lesley Logan 2:11  Here's what I would say. I listen to a couple true crime shows, and I cannot listen to the talking about the show until I've listened to the show, because I like the anticipation of, like, did he do it? What's going on? Like, I like that. And then I like listening to. Brad Crowell 2:26  What are you talking about you skip to the end? Lesley Logan 2:30  Well, when we watched The Crown, yes, I Google. I Google, like, if it is true. Well, sometimes the anxiety makes me want to know.Brad Crowell 2:37  This is the Lesley thing. We start a thing, there's some kind of stress, which is, in every TV show, it's on purpose. And then she pulls out her phone, Google's the resolution for the entire show. And then I'm always like, don't tell me. I don't want to know. I literally don't want to know. I want to enjoy the show the way they made it. Lesley Logan 2:54  I am not your friend to support you not finding out if you're having a boy or girl, even though I completely support whether or not they identify as that, I like to know. Brad Crowell 3:06  You're not going to do the Moira Rose, I don't know if you trust me with that secret. Lesley Logan 3:13  No, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to be I don't want to hold a secret. No, that's not true. I can't hold a secret. Brad Crowell 3:20  Hilarious. All right. Well, today is March 13th 2025 and it's a day for two specials things here. Lesley Logan 3:26  Oh, okay. So here we go. First up, it's International Every Girl Wins Day. This holiday helps bring attention to women's rights worldwide, especially to young girls. The celebrations involve talks, lectures and conferences on women's empowerment in every country, the goal is to achieve long-term systemic change that addresses women's rights to equity. The day also inspires young girls to take pride in their most essential assets. They're encouraged to support each other and be ambassador of the female empowerment movement, not just beneficiaries of it. The Ever Girl Wins Institute introduced this holiday. That's so cool. Brad Crowell 3:59  Yeah, pretty cool. Lesley Logan 4:00  What a fun day. Okay, well, that's so fun, we have to figure out how to celebrate that more. Let's participate next year. I don't know. Lex, if you're listening, let's talk about it.Brad Crowell 4:08  Yeah. Second up, it's National Open An Umbrella Indoors Day. Lesley Logan 4:13  What? Brad Crowell 4:13  Right? I was like, okay, I need to include this. So it's a day to test the popular superstition that opening an umbrella inside will bring bad luck. So I didn't know that was a thing. I didn't realize it. I've heard of walking under a ladder, something about black cats. I don't actually know. Lesley Logan 4:29  I have always heard that opening the umbrella inside is bad luck, but I've never participated in it, because where else are you supposed to open the umbrella, outside in the rain? Not everythin has a.Brad Crowell 4:39  You always open it indoor first, and then go outside with it.Lesley Logan 4:42  Oh, I kind of want to, if I can push the door open, I want to open the umbrella as I'm going outside, because. Brad Crowell 4:48  Yeah, as you're going outside.Lesley Logan 4:49  If there's not a, most buildings don't have a porch, like a, what do you call it? It's not a porch. It's not what you're staying on, it's, it's overhang. Most of them don't have the overhang. And I just think it's annoying, because then you're wet under your umbrella.Brad Crowell 4:49  Yes, yes.Lesley Logan 4:55  Okay, well, tell us more about this day. Brad Crowell 5:03  Apparently, superstitions are baseless beliefs held by people that influence their behavior. So, shame on you, apparently. There are irrational beliefs that performing or not performing particular acts will lead to either bad luck or good luck. National Open An Umbrella Day, Indoors Day, allows you to try your luck and see how your day goes. So if you're willing to risk it. Lesley Logan 5:27  I just think that this person is kind of an ass. It's baseless. Your superstitions are baseless beliefs. There are so much studies on where you have attention, that's where things go, and that's why manifesting works. So I would just say, focus on the good things. You don't bring in the bad. I wouldn't go wrong going, oh my God, this happened because I opened an umbrella inside, but maybe you do. And so this day is for you. Lesley Logan 5:47  Okay, so we are at P.O.T. Denver. It actually starts Friday, but we are on our way. And so if you're there, make sure you come and say hi. If you're an OPC agency or eLevate member, we are having a little happy hour, so make sure you come over and find us. We want to talk about it. We want to hug you. Then get this, guess what, guys, March 18th to the 24th the Accessories Deck is on presale.Brad Crowell 6:09  So that's less than one week, y'all. Lesley Logan 6:11  Yes, so if you go to opc.me/flashcardwaitlist, this is your last chance, because next week's podcast, we won't even be talking about it, because if you're not on the waitlist, you can't get the discount. So you must go to opc.me/flashcardwaitlist to get that 30% off. Brad Crowell 6:27  I think we'll still talk about it this week. Lesley Logan 6:29  No, no. Urgency, people. Get on it.Brad Crowell 6:30  Get on it right now, opc.me/flashcardwaitlist. Lesley Logan 6:34  Hey, look, in case our things fuck up, and even though you get on the waitlist, you don't hear about it. Brad Crowell 6:38  It's possible. Lesley Logan 6:38  Also, because this is the last flashcard deck. Is there a waitlist anymore? Brad Crowell 6:43  Yeah, what are we going to do with this waitlist? We're going to have to email y'all and be like, hey, this waitlist is now closed. Do you want to go over to other waitlists and we'll, we'll let you know what we got.Lesley Logan 6:52  Yeah, we'll have to, someone, whoever was on the team listening, please assign me that task. Okay.Brad Crowell 6:56  Okay. Lesley Logan 6:57  April. Brad Crowell 6:58  Coming up hard. Coming up fast. Lesley Logan 7:00  April is coming up fast, and Spring Training is going to be April 27th through May 3rd, and those who are on the waitlist are going to get the early bird special. And this is a different waitlist than the flashcard waitlist. Brad Crowell 7:12  True. They're not the same waitlist. Lesley Logan 7:13  No, they're not. And so if you go to opc.me/events you are going to be entered.Brad Crowell 7:19  That is plural, opc.me/eventsLesley Logan 7:21  Plural. That's where you go to make sure you get the early bird opportunity, because we will open up the early bird sign-ups a few days before regular sign-ups, and only those on the waitlist are going to get the discounted rate.

And then finally, we've got October of this year. Lesley Logan 8:40  Cambodia.Brad Crowell 8:41  Cambodia. We literally just got back. Lesley Logan 8:43  We just got back and it was kind of a quick trip for us. We were only there. Brad Crowell 8:47  Two and a half weeks. Yeah, we were traveling for two and a half weeks. Lesley Logan 8:50  Yeah, we had a couple of days in Singapore, so not really two full weeks in Cambodia, but we loved it, and we're jonesing to go back already. And we have some epic people who already signed up. I'm really excited. Some of these people have been on the next time I'm gonna go next time for years, and now they're coming. Brad Crowell 8:50  It's true. Lesley Logan 8:55  And we have some repeat offenders. Brad Crowell 9:09  We have someone else signing up this weekend. It's definitely starting to get full. October is a very popular time for our community. The weather is lovely. It's quite beautiful. If that's something of interest to you, make sure you reach out to us as soon as possible, and we'll get you all the information that you need to make the decision. But it's going to be October 12th through the 18th, 2025 so, come hang out in our favorite place in the world. Lesley Logan 9:33  Yes. Brad Crowell 9:33  Where do you go? Crownestretreats.com crowsnestretreats.com okay.Lesley Logan 9:39  Okay, so we're gonna get into the amazing Sam Mandel, and we're gonna learn all about ketamine and talk about it. Before we do that, we have a question from the audience. Brad Crowell 9:48  We sure do. Okay. Eva de Brune from Instagram, states and asks, I know you enjoy lifting weights. Is the reformer, like the Contrology reformer and mat and Wunda chair, etc., is that enough? Or do you recommend adding weights to the workout routine? I get asked a lot, is mat enough? Yoga, you are using your body weight. What is your take on this? So a couple of things. So I think the way that this is written, I'm not sure if she's asking if she should go to the gym and be lifting weights, or if she's asking if she'd be adding weights to your Pilates practice. Lesley Logan 10:21  I think it's go, I think it's the first, which is going to the gym and lifting weights in addition to your Pilates and your yoga. So here's the deal. Unfortunately, many of the studies that have been done on Pilates implies resistance has been done with Pilates isn't how I teach. Scientific studies cost a fuck ton of money. I actually, I've postponed a particular call with a group that does these studies multiple times, because it's tens of thousands of dollars. And the reality is, it's not even the best way of testing, because the more Pilates you do, the more muscles you bring in. So then who should we be testing? You know, there's just a lot of things. So what I can tell you is, my Contrology equipment has the heavy springs, obviously, that is resistance. That is absolutely resistance. Is it the same resistance training as heavy weights? I don't think we can say that it is. And so what I'm going to say is, I know you're very busy. I know you've got a lot going on. I would love to be able to say Pilates is all you need. I don't think it's true. Brad Crowell 10:21  It's all you need. Lesley Logan 10:21  I don't think it's true, but here's what I would say, pick a couple of days to do some heavy kettlebells. Pick a couple of days to do some barbell training. You don't have to hit. I'm not actually a big fan of hit for women over a certain age, it's can be really cortisol-inducing, but I would do some or do some heavy weightlifting. I would, also, because it's cool, because it's really cool to see what you can lift. It's really fun. The mat alone is epic and amazing for mobility and strength training. But even Joe realized that people needed more, and that's why he brought the springs in. And it's not that they need more because the mat isn't enough. It's because they need support to teach the body parts that don't have the access yet. So I actually use my weight training as information on where I have work to do, like my Pilates practice could support my weight training. I recognize like I have a balance issue when I do my single leg dead lifts. And so I use my Pilates Cadillac and my reformer to help train the things that I need so I can weight-train better. So to me, Pilates is actually so I can do my life. I'm sure there's a yogi out there who's gonna get pissed if I say yoga is not an not enough, but I'm gonna be really honest, depending on what your bone density is doing, body weight exercises alone are not necessarily enough, because you need to stress the muscles. So that is where I do think heavy springs can be compared to lifting weights, but they're just different things. Brad Crowell 12:40  Stress the bones. Lesley Logan 12:41  Stress the bones, yeah, you stress the muscles, which pull in the bones, which creates good stress on the bones, which creates good bone density. So, the other thing I would just say is your body is you got one, and the longer we wait to challenge it, the harder it is to support it. And so if you went in my routine, I do Pilates five to six days a week. I lift three to four days a week. I do yoga twice a week. I walk every day. And I do these things because I actually want to be 100 years old and still be able to travel and hike and be independent. So it's just like, what do you want in your future? And then how does your fitness regimen actually support what you want? Where are you at in your age group? Notice I didn't mention any cardio in there, because my Pilates practice has bouts of cardio in it. When I'm doing some of my yoga stuff, my heart rate goes up. When I do some of my lifting stuff, my heart rate goes up. So I'm challenging my heart in multiple ways. I don't need to spend time doing that, but I would, I would lift some weights, babe. And yes, your mat practice is essential. It's amazing. It's great for mobility and longevity. But I do not have a study in front of me that says it's enough.Brad Crowell 13:46  Right. Well, great question, Eva, thanks for asking. Lesley Logan 13:49  Yeah. You know, here's the deal. If someone wants me to do a study, I would love to do it. You have no idea how much money you actually need to do it, and you need people who know the method. I would want to have people who are beginners, people who are advanced. I want to have women, men, but then, you need to know the women's cycle and where they're at. There's so much information. And I think that until we have that, you got to do it all. Brad Crowell 14:10  You got to do it all. All right, well, stick around we'll be right back, because we're about to dig in to a really interesting conversation with a doctor, Dr. Sam Mandel. We're going to talk about. Lesley Logan 14:20  Ketamine. Brad Crowell 14:21  Ketamine. Special K, all the drug paraphernalia names. It's all the same stuff, y'all, it's just actually how you use it. And he went way deep on that, so I thought it was really interesting. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 14:33  Okay, welcome back. Let's talk about Sam Mandel. Sam Mandel is the co-founder and CEO of Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles, Sam and his father, who's also a doctor, opened KCLA in 2014 making it one of the first ketamine clinics in the entire country. Sam's passion for this innovative treatment stems from the profound and lasting positive impacts it has on people's lives. He believes ketamine therapy offers individuals the oportunity to rewrite their stories, overcome deeply ingrained mental patterns and step into a life filled with hope, resilience and joy.Lesley Logan 15:09  Okay, so when I got to talk to Sam, I was like, okay, I'm very interested, because we've had Dr. Kelly Bender on. Brad Crowell 15:15  Yes. Lesley Logan 15:15  She's a dear friend of mine, and I know that she does ketamine therapy and treatment, and we have a personal friend who we know has done ketamine treatments. She tried to do them on her own and. Brad Crowell 15:26  Yes, I mean, she was prescribed it, but she did them at home alone, which I thought, I didn't realize that was an option.Lesley Logan 15:32  And also, we have another friend where his wife has gone to the clinic like Sam's, and then he did on his own. And so anyways, so I just was very interested, because also, I think there's a lot of misinformation out there, and then when you have a death of someone who is abusing it with other things, then people get scared of something. And so I was really intrigued, because I think a lot of ways that people are affected of being it till they see it is they have past traumas or things going on in their brain that keep them from having the ability to be it till they see it. They have all the ideas. They've been listening this podcast. They have all this support, but then they have this stuff that's keeping them in their way. And so I really want to have Sam on because if ketamine can help them, then they need it to be it till they see it, right? So here's one thing I learned, ketamine is actually a psychedelic. I guess I didn't know that. I don't know what I thought ketamine was, so I thought that was really interesting. And it's really the only legally available psychedelic in the United States. It has the ability to dissolve these barriers that get in our way and help people get out of their own way. And so obviously, traditional talk therapy is really great. It can be helpful, but it says limitations. It's because our conscious mind gets in the way and makes it difficult to confront those deep seated issues. But ketamine acts in a different part of the brain than antidepressants can, and it allows these breakthroughs that aren't necessarily possible with other methods. And I think that's really cool, because we've heard of great stories of how ketamine can help people, like vets and different things, and like. Brad Crowell 16:57  PTSD.Lesley Logan 16:58  Oh yes, and it also like just kind of helps you take a different look at what the thing is. And I think in our own brains, we can judge ourselves for our actions we took or we didn't take in that situation, because it can be difficult to kind of forgive yourself about how you participated in an event that's affecting you, or how long it's, you just get in your head about it. And the way that ketamine can actually, when prescribed correctly and when done at a I think it's so cool that there's a clinic that you can go so, you know, you're safe, you know, I mean, first of all, it is safe. Brad Crowell 17:30  It's a controlled environment. Oh, yeah. Lesley Logan 17:31  It's a controlled environment, yes.Brad Crowell 17:32  I think that's half the reason why I stayed away from drugs was I didn't know what was going to happen, and if I knew something was going to happen to me and I was going to be impaired. Am I in a place where I'm going to be safe, right? So.Lesley Logan 17:45  Right. When I finally tried doing a little like micro dosing of mushrooms, it has to be at the house. There can be nothing going on. Brad Crowell 17:53  I can't have any obligations, no expectations from anybody else.Lesley Logan 17:59  Yeah, all these things we didn't even need to do that we could have just gone to Sam's clinic, and it's all set up in his clinic. Brad Crowell 18:05  Sam's clinic. Lesley Logan 18:05  Sam's clinic. It's called, not Sam's clinic. It's called, Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles, KCLA. So anyways, I just think that it's important for me to bring to everyone's attention here, that this is something that exists, and there are places that you can do it in a controlled way to actually get the true benefits from it. And because I've had so many people tell me that they have good benefits, I just didn't want negative stuff to keep people from doing it in the right way. Brad Crowell 18:32  Well, let's talk about why you might want to participate. Why would you be signing up to do a psychedelic? What I really enjoyed about Sam was him breaking it down from the perspective of a doctor, of what it actually is doing, how it's affected his patients. They've been around since 2014 so they're 10 years. So, they've done like, 30,000 treatments or something, you know, amazing. So he said ketamine helps people to craft the story around the trauma that they have. He said what happened is fixed, meaning the past. Whatever traumatic event happened, it's fixed, and it can never be changed. The past is the past, but our story about it can change at any given moment. So the event still happened, but the story we tell ourselves about that event that is something that we can change. And he said that ketamine really helps you dig in, because, well, first off, he said the most challenging aspect of trauma is that we feel like it can define us, and ketamine helps you see the traumatic events with a new perspective, detaching from the overwhelming emotions and allowing for more objective processing. The potential for ketamine to promote neuroplasticity, meaning your brain is creating new pathways, right? So, you know the expression, old dog can't be taught new tricks, right? Well, the whole idea there is that you're in a rut. You're in a groove, and it's really hard to jump out of that groove and create a new way of thinking, because we just default to what is easiest, and what is easiest is what we already know. So if we've defined for ourselves years ago that this thing equals pain, this thing equals fear, this equals whatever the thing is the story we tell ourselves, it is actually really hard to rewrite that story, and ketamine can help allow your brain to create those new storylines, those new pathways, so it helps bump out of that rut, which I thought was pretty cool. He said ketamine provides this kind of objective clarity. It can be extremely healing and transformational for people. Lesley Logan 18:51  Yeah, it kind of makes you go, should we all just go and do a ketamine treatment? Like, can it just be, like, the jump start you need? I don't know. It feels, I just, I feel like maybe it would help me get the all the journaling in the world that I've been doing, I might be able to speed up the process if I just did a treatment around the thing that keeps coming up.Brad Crowell 20:55  I think that's the idea. And I think also, even just the concept of that, it still feels taboo. It still feels like this scary thing that, great we've put it in a controlled environment, but I actually think it would benefit society if we normalized it. Lesley Logan 21:12  Yeah, well, we have to, first of all, we got to normalize mental health and that we all have different ways.Brad Crowell 21:17  Yes, same exact stigma as any kind of therapy, or any of that. This is a different form of therapy than talk therapy, than. Lesley Logan 21:25  I don't know. Maybe this is because we actually did do 14, 15 years in LA, and I knew people who were doing these things and doing controlled micro dosing of other things. And because my friend studies it, I know the benefits. And so to me, it doesn't feel taboo. Also, maybe we all could use a little bit of like, when you lived in LA, everyone had a therapist, and it was not unheard of for people to go, yeah, I'm gonna go get some ketamine therapy. We need to normalize all that for the rest of the country. Therapy is real. Do it. And also, if you can't get to, LA, do your research. But I would definitely use Sam's website for what you're looking at, as far as what the standard should be.Brad Crowell 22:07  Like the standard, which organization's the gold standard, you know, go look up Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles, and then compare that to a local clinic. Lesley Logan 22:14  Or and or go to LA. Brad Crowell 22:16  Yeah, or reach out to them and talk to them and ask them, you know, what they recommend. Lesley Logan 22:19  Yeah, they had some great stuff. So anyways, I think it's great. I think I could see where this could be really useful. And obviously it's not what you go do every Thursday. But if you've got -ish holding you back, what are you waiting for? Brad Crowell 22:33  Yeah, let's splash that -ish.Lesley Logan 22:35  I don't think that's what Sam wants.Brad Crowell 22:42  All right, stick around. We'll be right back with those Be It Action Items from Dr. Sam Mandel. Brad Crowell 22:47  All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Sam Mandel? Borrowing Nike slogan, he said take action. Just do it. Honestly, planning and strategizing is important, thinking things through, figuring out who you are, what you want, and putting together a plan that actually matters. So, the just do it part could start with the planning, but I think it's so easy for us to have analysis paralysis. I was just having this conversation with someone over the weekend of yeah, I started to do the thing, and then I ran into a speed bump, and I had to make a choice. But to make the choice, I had to learn a whole lot of stuff, and to learn a whole lot of stuff, it was going to take me a lot of time. And then what did I do? Nothing, right? So sometimes maybe we can phone a friend and shortcut that maybe we can, I don't know, join a coaching group and shortcut that maybe we can call a doctor and shortcut that when it comes to the planning and whatever, but I think just getting out there and taking messy action, we talk about that all the time. Lesley Logan 23:43  And also, if you haven't yet listened to the interview, go listen to it, because you actually hear about how he and his father started the clinic, which was like just doing it. It was like a freaking closet with a tiny desk and everything. But I think as we plan different things, there's part of me that loves how I do things. I just go for it. And then sometimes you and the team have too many questions, and I'm like, I don't have the answer for that. I think we're gonna figure it out when we get there. And it doesn't always work that way. So I would say, if you are someone who has to know every single thing before you get started this Be It Action Item is for you.Brad Crowell 24:14  Yeah, there's just too many unknowns. So planning can stop you in your track. Lesley Logan 24:18  We've coached so many people who have made sure they have all their plans to a tee, and then something out of everyone's control comes in and fucks it all up. I've had friends who've literally planned exactly what they want their business do, and then literally, two months later, after they did everything to a tee, perfectly, exactly how they wanted, they spend the budget the right way, everything, then COVID happened, fucked it all up. Didn't matter. So, you know, I think there's a healthy balance. Brad Crowell 24:44  Yep. What about you? Lesley Logan 24:45  Okay, he talked about it's too easy to let perfection keep us from taking the steps that we need to take to get done who we want to be, so. Brad Crowell 24:51  Wait, say that one more time. Lesley Logan 24:53  It's too easy to let perfectionist keep, perfectionism keep us from taking the steps we need to take to get done who we want to be. So like. Brad Crowell 24:53  I think it would be better to say to become who we want to be. Lesley Logan 25:03  To become who we want to be, probably. So I couldn't agree more. And he said you're going to make mistakes, and it's really the only way you actually succeed in life. And he said, if you're dealing with mental health condition, he encourages you to call and so a lot of times perfectionism shows up as a sign of imposter syndrome that you're dealing with, but it could also be a way of you controlling things, which can be part of a mental health situation. And so.Brad Crowell 25:26  I mean, it's the same exact, here's a perfect example. If he's the gold standard and you don't live in Los Angeles, then you won't take any action, because you can't get to the best one, right? That is perfectionism. What you could do is take messy action, give them a call and say hey, I don't live there, but.Lesley Logan 25:44  What are my options? Brad Crowell 25:45  What am I, what should, what should we be talking about here and just see if there is a path or some kind of alternate option for you, wherever it is that you live. So. Lesley Logan 25:52  Yeah, I mean, we talk about perfectionism here a lot, and I would just say, don't get mad at the perfectionist tendencies that you have. Use them as a highlighter of where you have work to do, whether that is doing a controlled ketamine treatment to get over this perfectionist issue that you have, or it's how can I get a friend over here who I just envy that they just go for things to help me take a look at this thing that I want to do, because I can borrow a little bit of their imperfection and go-getterness and help you. You know what I mean? Brad Crowell 26:23  It's like a barrier. Perfectionism is a barrier that we throw up to keep ourselves from failure. Lesley Logan 26:33  It is a great excuse for not getting shit done. You are correct, sir. Like, I know a lot of people who will say, oh, it's because I'm perfectionist. That's why I haven't done it. And it's a really good excuse that people will just go, oh, well, that's true.Brad Crowell 26:45  For me, I think it's the other extreme of the concept of, oh, I don't set any goals, because then I can't be let down. If you heard someone say that, you would go, well, that's not how I want to live. Well, the irony is that perfectionism is just the flip side of that coin. We are inadvertently putting roadblocks in the way. We've got to make sure everything's good, because if we don't, then it's going to fail, right?

I don't have enough of this. I don't have enough this to start, it's affecting your gifts from being enjoyed by the people who it's for. Imagine if Sam and his dad hadn't started in an office because it's not sexy enough, right? So anyways, just do it. That's what he said.Brad Crowell 28:09  Just do it.Lesley Logan 28:10  Yeah, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 28:11  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 28:12  Thank you so much for listening to our episode today.

Our Series this month is "Organizations That Increase Khair," and we kick it off with Sana Imad of Elevate Adolescence. She's written a curriculum for a character education program designed to help tweens and teens build confidence and reach maturity in a developmentally appropriate way, both spiritually and psychologically. Rooted in Islamic principles and the sage example of Imam Ghazali, the program integrates timeless values like integrity, compassion, and self-discipline into practical life skills.  Through @girlsrisingstrong and @boys.breakingthru, parents and children can achieve deep understanding and connection. One of my favorite pearls from this episode had to be, "It isn't easy, but it gets easiER."  Practice makes perfect, y'all, but we have to be willing to take the first step.Learn more about these programs and how you can bring them to your kitchen tables. Tune in at 6pm EST and share this episode with another mom and maybe with a masjid board member who may find it easier to establish a youth group with a curriculum and support systems ready to go.Links:1.
