What are the keys to finding an effective event emcee that keeps the audience entertained and generous? In today's episode, I talk with event emcee and media presentation expert Lauren Petrowski, to talk about how effective event emcees elevate the gala guest experience. Over the years, Lauren has hosted many top galas and business events in Texas and beyond. Her ability to effectively emcee multiple types of events for different audiences gives her a unique and well-informed perspective on how to communicate and engage any type of audience. Lauren shares her knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics, how great emcees set the tone and vibe you want for your event, effective ways to engage an audience to increase the rooms energy, the different types of events and what emcees bring to each of them, tips on engaging multiple types of onstage talent for your program, and so much more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
"Throning" in modern dating is a trend where an individual dates someone primarily to elevate their own social status, influence, reputation, or social media presence, rather than seeking a genuine emotional connection. This concept is seen as a contemporary twist on "gold-digging," where the focus shifts from financial gain to social capital, such as followers, fame, and online visibility.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.
In this episode of Ask and Answered by Soul, Jennifer Urezzio sits down with Bonnie Schultz — founder of Tandem Resource Solutions and host of the Delegate to Elevate podcast — to dive deep into the spiritual, emotional, and practical power of letting go. With honesty, humor, and heart, Bonnie shares her journey from corporate imposter syndrome to empowered CEO. She reveals how reclaiming her voice, choosing joy, and building a business based on trust and team have helped her create spaciousness in both her life and her soul. Together, Jennifer and Bonnie explore: Why letting go is more than a spiritual cliché — it's a leadership skill. How control keeps us stuck (and broke). What delegation has to do with Divine alignment. The songs that inspire surrender (yes, “Let It Go” makes a cameo). What it really means to lead with heart and strategy in tandem. You'll walk away with tangible practices to release control, reconnect with joy, and grow a soul-aligned business that doesn't cost you your peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

Brad Crowell 0:01 Fuck yeah.Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins. 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 Happy Fuck Yeah Friday. Oh my God, a Friday. That's a holiday. Hopefully you have it off. I'm obsessed with taking holidays off that I don't do a lot of celebration on, and it's not like Brad and I just don't really cook Thanksgiving meal, and I don't even go to a lot of them, or we're invited. But like, there's something about like, the world is celebrating a day, or not the world, because this is Thanksgiving, so people are celebrating a day, and we're just like, putzing around, like, I love it, but that's not my win. This is about celebrating your wins, my wins, and being inspired and having an affirmation and reminding ourselves that like perfect is boring, being until you see it takes time. And my goodness, we're gonna start bragging about the things we do and inspiring others to do the same. So your inspiration for today, everyone's trying to sell you something. And, yeah, me too on OPC, but, but, but, really, what I want you to enjoy and get a kick out of this says the rule is you have to dance a little in the morning before you leave the house, because it changes the way you walk out into the world. And it reminds me of one of the episodes we had where she said you need to pick your be it till you see it song, and then you need to listen to it every day. And she said you have to listen to it. I'm like this inspiration is asking us to dance a little before we leave the house, because it changes the way we walk out into the world. So what song you're gonna play right now and dance to it on the world? I used to play Level Up every morning in my studio before my clients showed up. This was in 2018 and then I had a different song in 2019 but I'm telling you, it changed, it changed how I approached the whole day, because I was like, Oh my God, I am starting new companies, and I am in charge of the vision of where these are going and and also I still have to teach. And I'm I love this so much. I love, love, love this. And if you go to the link to watch it on Instagram, it's this cute little girl who is just, like, dancing. She is just dancing. This other little girl is like, I think I want to dance like she is. She's like, a little shy. The girl who's staring at her was like, that's me. That's me going, can I be her? Like, can I do that? And I'm telling you right now, we need to do it. We need to do it. You need to do it. So go out, well, don't, before you go out, play a song and then go out into the world being it till you see it. I'm obsessed with this one. Lesley Logan 3:16 So, okay, your wins. Ainsley Walker is back, and you know what I love about Ainsley is that reading her wins makes me relive I feel like I'm living the moment, watching in a movie. And you don't have to be so eloquent in the way you write your wins, but I'm just saying like, write your wins like you're like you're sharing it in a journal. You can relive them if you can, if you have the time, right? It really helps you reflect. So, wow, wow, wow. So this is both a win and a massive thank you. I chose this one because we are in a gratitude season, right? LL, Brad and Meredith, I could have put this in the eLevate group, but I would feel so selfish to all of you who perhaps haven't done eLevate yet. So I say it yet because it's a must. I arrived back last night from an incredible few days in Vegas with all the other eLevate retreaters. What was it? What was incredible is that no matter how experienced or new everyone was, they still had lots to learn and share from all in each other. We have moved lots and had so much fun taking time and investment to step out and do this. Felt big, but the outcome was more than I imagined. It reflected back to me with clarity, what I want my future and how to go about things for my own practice, my clients and my business. It's going to be exact an exciting few months, but first I'm going to move my happy jet-lagged body on my beautiful new mini barrel. Thank you all. Oh Ainsley, of course, you are so welcome, but also, thank you, because when you show up for yourself, it allows everyone else to show up for themselves, right? And so yes, thank you for the gratitude you are sending back to us. Of course, we love doing this, but we we can't do it without people like you who show up as authentically as you do, and then and give so generously and receive so much, right? And I'm just so excited because I have seen how the next few minutes went, and I have seen what you're doing, and it's nothing short of, remarkable is the wrong word, short of like, it's more than what you detail to me that you dreamed of, and I'm so stoked because you did it. You've been being it till you see it, since the moment we did Cambodia together, and I, the first time. And eLevate was so beautiful. I'm so glad you're in it. And for those who don't understand what I wonder what eLevate is, it's my mentorship program next year is completely sold out, but 2027 has a couple spots and I do a retreat with them at the house every year, and it's special to me because it's what Jay gave to me, and Jay's teachers gave to me, and I want to pay that forward into my own way and in a way that allows people to show up fully, authentically themselves, right? So thank you, Ainsley, because without you, I couldn't do what I'm wanting to do. Lesley Logan 6:02 All right, so it, it is an FYF, but it's also, you know, a season of gratitude. And I have a lot to be grateful for this year. The world is on fire. I have had more than my fair share of obstacles and frustrations in life and in business. What's fun is I get to sit here and record this early in a state of I'm actually extremely grateful. I'm grateful for the person I was when I envisioned this business so many years ago. I'm grateful for the people who've been part of it. I'm grateful massively for my team. I'm grateful for my dear, amazing friends. I am the point man who I love, people who don't need to talk to me every day. I like best friends who can talk every week or every other week, or maybe not for a month, but we can pick up where we started, like I love I'm so grateful because my friends are that, and they get that, and they understand that, and because this is Be It Till You See It Podcast, I know we say this often in the recaps, but you have to know that I'm so grateful for you, because this podcast has actually changed my perspective of myself and who I want to become and how I want to be it till I see it as I get older, and not in a way like I'm getting older, but like, what beauty can come as I get older and who I want to become, and so without you listening, I wouldn't get to do this. You don't just get to do a podcast just because, you know, you want to people do have to listen. I mean, I could, but then it would just be a fucking expensive, very expensive task, because you listen, because you listen, because you share your wins, because you send your questions in, because you send in your takeaways, it pushes me to become better at this every each and every year, and each interview has challenged me to be it till I see it in an in a better way. And isn't that how it is, like we envision, like what we want, and then the result is even better. Sometimes we don't get we want, but we got something better. And that is how I feel. And so I'm just absolutely so fucking grateful for you. And in case no one's told you that, today, I'm grateful for you. So go out there and Be It Till You See It. Thank you so much. Have an amazing day. Lesley Logan 8:18 That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Chain of Learning: Empowering Continuous Improvement Change Leaders
AI is everywhere. And its use and capabilities are accelerating every day. But is AI actually helping us get better at getting better? Or is it just amplifying the friction, bottlenecks, and complexity that already exists in our workflows and processes?In this episode, Nathen Harvey, leader of the DORA Research team at Google, explores how AI is reshaping not just how we work, but how we can use it to elevate human work, collaborate as teams, and reach better outcomes.Drawing on new findings from the DORA 2025 report on AI-assisted software development, we dig into what truly drives high performance – regardless of your industry or work – and how AI can either accelerate learning or amplify bottlenecks.If you lead or work on any kind of team you'll discover how to use AI thoughtfully, so it supports learning and strengthens the people-centered learning culture you're trying to build.YOU'LL LEARN:How AI accelerates learning—or intensifies friction—based on how teams use itWhy AI magnifies what already exists, and why stronger human learning habits matter more than stronger toolsThe seven DORA team archetypes—and how to quickly spot strengths, gaps, and next steps for more effective collaborationHow to use team characteristics to target where AI (or any tech) will truly move the needle and support continuous improvementHow the Toyota Production System / lean principle of jidoka—automation with a human touch—guides us to use AI to elevate human capability, not replace itABOUT MY GUEST:Nathen Harvey, Developer Relations Engineer, leads the DORA team at Google Cloud.

Discover how resilient leadership is forged through pressure, capacity, and the barbell mindset—and learn how to build unshakeable strength under stress. Table of Contents Toggle IntroductionUnderstanding Resilient LeadershipWhy Resilient Leadership MattersCommon Challenges and Limiting BeliefsStep-by-Step Implementation GuideReal-Life Success StoriesMistakes to AvoidAdvanced Strategies for MasteryCall to ActionQ&A Section Introduction Resilient leadership isn't built in strategy meetings or motivational workshops—it's built under load. Most leaders think resilience is about staying calm, staying positive, or staying busy. But that's not resilience. That's performance acting. The truth is far more uncomfortable: resilient leadership is the capacity to take on more pressure without breaking—and to keep rising even when the weight feels unbearable. The keyword resilient leadership stands at the center of this conversation because the modern leader isn't collapsing from lack of skill… they're collapsing from lack of capacity. You don't fix that with time hacks. You fix it with training. This is where the barbell becomes your greatest teacher. In CrossFit, I learned early that the weight never lies. The barbell tells you exactly who you are under pressure. It exposes weakness, reinforces discipline, and demands growth. Leadership does the same. Today, you'll learn how resilient leadership is built the same way strength is built: friction, load, recovery, and progressive challenge. And you'll learn why leaders who avoid metaphorical weight become fragile while those who train under stress become unstoppable. Understanding Resilient Leadership Resilient leadership is the ability to stay centered, decisive, and effective under pressure—even as demands, uncertainty, and responsibility increase. It is the mental toughness for leaders that separates those who fold from those who rise. The misconception? People assume resilience is a personality trait. Something fixed. Something you're born with. But pressure doesn't care about personality. Pressure only cares about capacity. In the gym, capacity is measured by load: how much weight you can move, how well you can stay composed, and whether you keep form when things get heavy. Leadership works the same way. Many leaders crumble not because the weight is too much… …but because they never trained for it. Resilient leadership is trainable. It is measurable. And it grows through deliberate exposure to stress, challenge, and responsibility—just like strength training. The barbell metaphor leadership model teaches us that you grow capacity the same way you grow strength: gradually, intentionally, and with humility. Resilient leadership skills emerge from adversity, repetition, discipline, and reflection. They aren't earned by reading leadership books—they're earned by carrying the load. Why Resilient Leadership Matters The world is not slowing down. Expectations aren't decreasing. Pressure isn't easing. Your people, teams, and family don't need a leader who is simply informed—they need a leader who can remain grounded when the room is shaking. CrossFit taught me that strength is never about the first reps. It's about the last ones—the ones completed when your mind is screaming for relief. Those reps build the ability to perform under fatigue. In leadership, the equivalent reps come when: You're tired but must stay clear. You're overwhelmed but must still decide. You're uncertain but must still lead. This is why resilient leadership training becomes essential. When leaders lack resilience, everything downstream suffers—culture, morale, communication, execution, and results. You can't give clarity if you don't have inner stability. You can't drive performance if you're emotionally depleted. You can't inspire trust when you're constantly reactive. High-performance leadership habits aren't built in moments of ease—they're built under stress. And if you're not deliberately building your resilience muscles, the weight of leadership will eventually break you. Common Challenges and Limiting Beliefs Every leader struggles with the same three traps: “If I just get through this week, it will get easier.” This is the business version of hoping the weight magically gets lighter. It doesn't. The load always increases—sometimes gradually, sometimes overnight. “Resilience means doing it alone.” This is outdated warrior mythology. In strength training, no one grows without coaching, programming, accountability, and a system that pushes them just beyond their comfort zone. “I need to avoid stress.” Avoiding stress is the fastest way to shrink capacity. Overprotection weakens the system. Stress doesn't destroy leaders—poor recovery and lack of training does. Resilient leadership isn't about dodging pressure. It's about expanding who you become in the presence of it. Step-by-Step Implementation Guide Here's how to build resilient leadership using the principles of the barbell metaphor leadership model: Step 1: Load Before You're Ready In CrossFit, if you only lift when it's comfortable, you'll stay weak. The same is true in leadership. Begin deliberately taking on responsibilities, conversations, and decisions that stretch your emotional and mental capacity, expanding your tolerance for uncertainty and increasing your ability to stay composed under pressure. Step 2: Train with Intent Resilient leadership training requires conscious practice—structured reflection, emotional regulation techniques, nervous system resets, and pressure management rituals—all performed consistently to reinforce mastery and build a dependable foundation for responding to real-world challenges confidently. Step 3: Embrace Micro-Adversity Just as strength grows through controlled stress, resilience grows through micro-adversity—cold exposure, tough conversations, difficult workouts, disciplined routines, and intentional friction designed to strengthen your capacity for discomfort and sharpen your psychological edge. Step 4: Recover Like a Professional Recovery isn't optional—it's strategic. Leaders who fail to schedule recovery confuse burnout for weakness. Proper recovery replenishes energy, restores clarity, reinforces emotional balance, and ensures you can consistently show up with strength when pressure inevitably increases. Step 5: Build a Coaching Environment Even elite athletes need coaches. Leaders who avoid coaching plateau quickly. Coaching accelerates growth by calibrating load, challenge, and perspective, helping you identify blind spots, strengthen performance habits, and stay aligned with high-level leadership standards. This is how you build mental toughness for leaders—reps, reflection, and regulated stress. Real-Life Success Stories I've watched executives transform their leadership capacity the same way athletes transform under the bar. One client came in exhausted, overwhelmed, and convinced he was failing. We rebuilt his leadership habits the same way we'd rebuild a lifting program—load management, mental conditioning, energy protocols, emotional hygiene, and progressive challenge. Six months later, he was leading with decisiveness, clarity, and unshakable presence. His team noticed it. His family felt it. His results proved it. Resilient leadership is visible. You don't have to announce it. People feel it. Mistakes to Avoid Trying to lift everything alone – isolation kills resilience, drains emotional capacity, limits perspective, and slowly erodes your ability to lead with clarity and grounded strength. Avoiding conflict – conflict is pressure; pressure is training, and sidestepping it prevents growth, weakens influence, reinforces fear-driven behavior, and ultimately diminishes leadership credibility. Overworking – fatigue without recovery is collapse, and grinding nonstop destroys focus, reduces creativity, impairs decision-making, and trains your nervous system to operate in permanent survival mode. Being reactive – reactions kill precision and signal instability, creating unnecessary chaos, damaging trust, and undermining the reliability your team depends on during high-pressure moments. Ignoring feedback – leaders blind to feedback lose their edge, miss critical growth opportunities, repeat avoidable mistakes, disconnect from their people, and gradually fall behind more adaptive competitors. Avoid these mistakes and your capacity will skyrocket. Advanced Strategies for Mastery If you want elite-level resilient leadership, adopt the following practices: Contrast training: move between high-pressure and calm states intentionally to strengthen adaptability, sharpen cognitive control, and train your nervous system to handle rapid transitions without losing clarity, presence, or emotional stability. Identity conditioning: see yourself as a resilient leader first—actions follow identity, and reinforcing this self-concept through daily behaviors, rituals, and decisions helps you embody strength even when external circumstances attempt to knock you off center. Load calibration: weekly reviews of your responsibilities, energy, and emotional weight ensure you’re managing demands intelligently, preventing overload, redistributing pressure effectively, and staying ahead of burnout before it sneaks up and compromises your leadership effectiveness. Archetype integration: balance Warrior discipline, King vision, Magician strategy, and Lover emotional intelligence by consciously activating each archetype, aligning your behavior with your highest potential, and ensuring no single aspect of your leadership becomes overextended or underdeveloped. This is where resilient leadership becomes a lifestyle, not a skill. Call to Action If you skimmed this, go back. Skimming is fragile behavior. Resilient leadership requires presence, pressure, and precision. If this resonated, it's because you know the truth: the barbell doesn't lie—and neither does your life. You're either growing capacity or losing it. If you're ready to train your resilience like an athlete trains for competition—if you're ready to build the leadership strength your team, your family, and your future demand—then it's time to step up. Sharpen your edge. Elevate your capacity. Book your Power Strategy Session and let's forge your next level. Q&A Section What is resilient leadership? Resilient leadership is the ability to stay composed, decisive, and effective under pressure while navigating complexity and stress. It matters because modern leaders face relentless demands, and without resilience, performance collapses. Imagine trying to lift a heavy barbell without proper training—the weight crushes you. Leadership works the same way. How can I develop resilient leadership skills? By treating resilience like strength training: progressive challenge, intentional stress exposure, structured reflection, emotional regulation, and mentorship. Leaders who integrate these practices rapidly expand capacity and confidence. Why do leaders struggle with resilience? Because most avoid discomfort. Resilience requires deliberate exposure to challenge. When leaders avoid conflict, stress, or hard decisions, they weaken their capacity over time. What is the role of coaching in resilient leadership? Coaching acts like a training program—it provides structure, pressure calibration, feedback, and accountability. Without coaching, leaders plateau. With coaching, they grow faster and sustain results. How does the barbell metaphor apply to leadership under stress? The barbell teaches that strength comes from controlled pressure, repetition, and recovery. Leadership mirrors this exactly. You build capacity by showing up, doing the reps, and leaning into the weight instead of avoiding it. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts The 4 Stages of Personal Growth For Personal Success20 Mental Strength Character Traits – Part 2: Warrior Mind Podcast #367Chunking Down To Workable Pieces: Warrior Mind Podcast # 160Risk Taking: Warrior Mind Podcast # 147 11 Tips for Personal Development: Warrior Mind Podcast #324Unlocking the Power of Character Archetypes Through Spirit Animals: A Path to TransformationLife Rules Shape Our Reality- Warrior Mind Podcast #6658 Bold Steps to Stop Living in Fear and Take Control
Stephanie Tinsley created the true crime podcast, Everything They Missed. It is about the 2007 savage murder of Danny Harris in Memphis, a father of four, two of them Memphis police officers. Mr. Harris's body was left unnoticed and decomposing in his home for 2 months. The case was closed suspiciously and within 48 hours, police zeroed in on a 24-year-old black man, Andrew Hayes with a 3rd grade level IQ, who had never met the victim. After a 27-hour unrecorded interrogation, Andrew confessed. The Tennessee Innocence Project now calls that confession false, but for 18 years, Andrew has remained in prison. Tinsley's show uncovered new evidence that may exonerate the man. Stephanie is married to attorney Mark Tinsley. Mark's name is familiar to Impact listeners due to his involvement with the Alex Murdaugh trial and the Scott Spivey case. Stephanie discusses the Hulu Murdaugh special. Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Now they cover true crime past and present from the southeast region of the U.S. Impact of Influence is part of the Evergreen Podcast Company. Look for Impact of Influence on Facebook and Youtube.

You know, just do some reflection. Lesley Logan 0:12 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 0:51 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 empowering convo I had with Jen Fraboni in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, you've missed out on an incredible interview with DocJenFit. That's her Instagram handle or her handle everywhere. So many of you love her, know her, and this was a really cool, I thought, very vulnerable convo as well. She shared a lot about going on her life, how she handles things. I love when people are like, just a human and so it's gonna be really good. So I can't wait to recap it, but before we do that, today is November 20th 2025, and we have two days to celebrate. And to be honest, there was like seven, so we could have chosen. There was a few that I was like, well, I don't use less, so we can't use use less day, because I'm so not participating. But there's a couple others, but we're going to focus on two of them. One is the Great American Smokeout. The American Cancer Society sponsors a Great American Smokeout on the third Thursday of November annually, challenging smokers to give up cigarettes for 24 hours. If you or a loved one smoke cigarettes, consider joining the movement and take the first step towards quitting cigarettes forever. How? Let's both try to do something tough for a day. I'll give up either coffee, sugar, social media. Brad Crowell 2:10 You're you are allowed to pitch this to them. Lesley Logan 2:13 Oh, this is how you're gonna pitch it. Brad Crowell 2:14 Yeah. This is how you're gonna pitch this to them. Lesley Logan 2:15 This is how you're gonna pitch it. So you're gonna, you, if you're a non-smoker, if you're a smoker, then you can tell another smoker, you guys could do it together. But if you're a non-smoker, asking a smoker, then you're gonna say, I'm gonna give up something they know. You're gonna have a hard time giving up for 24 hours. Brad Crowell 2:30 Like, maybe it's Instagram, maybe it's chocolate, could be sugar.Lesley Logan 2:35 Coffee, you know something like that and you give up smoking, think of it as a reset, not a rule. So.Brad Crowell 2:43 And that's what you can also tell them, It's a reset, not a rule. Lesley Logan 2:45 Well, Brad, can we, like, let's how hard, can we talk about it? Brad Crowell 2:50 We can certainly talk about it. Lesley Logan 2:51 Okay, you quit smoking. Brad Crowell 2:53 I did quit smoking. Lesley Logan 2:54 If he had been a smoker when we met, it would have not we would not be married 10 years. Brad Crowell 2:58 It's true. Lesley Logan 2:59 Because we would not have gone on a date. Brad Crowell 3:00 Yeah. I mean, it's. Lesley Logan 3:02 My grandfather was a smoker. Brad Crowell 3:04 It doesn't smell good. Lesley Logan 3:05 Yeah. So I have had two grandfathers who are massive smokers, one who lost a lung to smoking, and another one who had multiple heart problems, and the heart doctor refused to operate on him unless he quit smoking. So I, like, this is a big like, personal thing, because I lost family members to smoking. But I know it's not easy. So Brad.Brad Crowell 3:26 Yeah, I mean, I've told this story before, so it was the decision to smoke or to quit smoking was, for me, it was made emotionally, which is what made it easy. The decision to stop, to stay with that initial decision was actually quite challenging, you know, because of the addiction, because of nicotine, but because I wanted to sing more than I wanted to smoke, that was the emotional decision. It was like, oh my god, this is a very I just have to stop, like, I can't, I can't be on stage and not be able to sing. So that I think that was hard, because I had to hit a wall in order for that decision to become emotional and then for it to actually happen in my life. But okay, great. That's step one. Then step two is consistently not smoking when I used to smoke. So in the car with the window down, or I don't remember, you know, walking out of my apartment complex, there was a there was, like, part of my routine, you know, and doing those things, like continuing to do life, you're going to run back into those instances where you used to do the habit and would always make me think, this is what I would normally pull out a cigarette. And so that was, that was a constant battle for, honestly, for just a few weeks. Lesley Logan 4:56 Well, it's interesting, because so in a couple of weeks, we have a habit series starting and in one of the episodes, I talked about how to unravel a habit. And for smoking, like all we can be completely honest, there is an addictive element to it, in that they made it addictive. So you have a habit, you smoke when you're in traffic. My old roommate, she would she when she quit smoking was the hardest thing, because she's like, Lesley, I'm in traffic for 45 minutes, and I used to just sit there and smoke, and now I am not. So she had lollipops and teas and coffees because she needed something to do in the car. She actually had, like, the patches like, well, that helps you quit. So she's like, I don't even have the craving to smoke. I have the habit. So I will talk about how to unravel a habit in that series in December, so make sure you're paying attention. Okay, the other day, this is really important to Brad and I that we wanted to bring it up. (inaudible)Brad Crowell 5:47 Second thing we wanted to remember today. Lesley Logan 5:50 Yes. So it's Transgender Day of Remembrance. For generations, the transgender population has suffered various forms of abuse and even death for or murder, so we'll call it that, for challenging the views, notions and stereotypes around male and female identity. Every year, we set aside today as Transgender Day of Remembrance. This holiday is meant to honor, commemorate and memorialize those who face discrimination and stigma on a daily basis across this nation. This holiday is also meant to advocate for transgenders people's rights, as well as focus on the persistent struggles they face in their everyday lives and how others can share their love, support and hope. If you listen to this podcast and you have a fucking problem with transgenders, I am just going to be on, I need you to explore why. These are just people. They're just people, and they've been around forever. And I bring it, I bring it up in one of the FYF is coming up about like, how in the indigenous cultures, they actually have people, they already had words for this. This is something. It's actually a fucking cool thing. Like you have the ability to see the world the way they see it through both lenses. It's a powerful thing. And I fucking clearly I'm pissed about it, but I get so annoyed. We flew on a plane the other day, and no one has a problem using a toilet on a plane, but all of a sudden they have a fucking problem of sharing a bathroom with another person of a different gender, and it's like, what are we talking about here? You just shared a bathroom. So I don't understand when they make neutral bathrooms, how people get pissed about that. I also just listened to this one thing. If I could find the reel I'll send it to the team to link it. If you don't see the link below, it's because I couldn't find it. But this person is is explaining how it's sort of the safety of women to in the bathrooms, of why they want people using the bathrooms of their own, like birth certificate, right? And this one person is a trans man. He goes, so what you're actually saying is that men are a danger to women and you don't want them in their bathrooms. So that's the problem. We should solve that problem. We shouldn't be policing genitals. So I just get really upset because it's just bothersome to me. Why do we why do we care so much we have healthcare issues in this country. We have poverty issue. We have children who don't have enough food. Brad Crowell 8:06 We have food issues, yeah. Lesley Logan 8:07 The higher percentage of people. Brad Crowell 8:09 We have water issues. Did you know, I don't remember what the number is, but like, (inaudible) I think, I think it was Jackson, Mississippi, like, they don't have running water in in, like, many parts of the city. I don't know what the the numbers are, but like, that was a thing in a couple years ago. Lesley Logan 8:24 Yes, no, there's a higher percentage of people who are listening to this show that know someone who's homeless, who is a pover in poverty, who has food. What do you call it? Like a food uncertainty? Then then know of someone who's transgendered and so why? Like, what are we doing? So I'm just pissed about it. I'm just over it. I'm over people being so uptight and like that they're a threat to who you are. You know, it goes to that whole thing where it's like, if you don't like abortions, don't get one. If you don't like gay marriage, if somebody of your same sex asks you to marry them, don't say yes. Like, you don't have to do any of these things. You don't have to be trans like this is I just get annoyed. I'm pissed. Anyways, so today is the day to remember the people who have been fighting to exist as they feel like they should exist, and we should do what we can to honor those people. And if you don't know anyone, maybe consider looking at a community service organization in your area that you could donate to if you are listening from Las Vegas, when you buy food from the Bronze Cafe, their proceeds, part of their proceeds go to the LGBTQ community for mental health. So it's really, really cool. We use their restaurant for all of our retreats here in Las Vegas. We can help support that.Brad Crowell 9:37 And they have a second location at the.Lesley Logan 9:43 Oh Brad's so excited. Brad Crowell 9:45 The conservation preserve, the Springs Preserve here, which has has a massive cactus garden. So go to the cactus garden. Go eat lunch, and you'll be also helping support (inaudible) the transgender community here.Lesley Logan 9:58 Yeah, when you come visit Las Vegas, you should go to Springs Preserves, and then you can go to Bronze Cafe. Okay, cool stuff coming up now. So here we go. Brad Crowell 10:06 All right, so here's what we got coming up on the docket, actually, next week, or Yyeah, literally, in a few days, is the Black Friday Cyber Monday coming up for you've probably already been inundated with everything that's been crazy, but for us, we're going to do it actually, during the old school Black Friday Cyber, Cyber Monday is even new.

We're going to have a couple of our past retreaters join us live, and we're going to have them just answer those questions. You can ask them directly. They can share with you their experience, you know, the process of getting there, like, did they feel safe? What kind of food was it? What kind of activities did they enjoy? All the things that you might be curious about. And I'm telling you, it is gonna next year, is gonna sell quickly. So, get yourself on the waitlist.

You don't want to miss it, because I don't know when we're coming back. Okay? And then we're gonna leave that. Brad and I are gonna do a vacation. Brad Crowell 18:08 What? Weird. Lesley Logan 18:09 About nine, 10 days vacation in Europe, and then April after our vacation, we wrap up in April at P.O.T. London, and now it's official. Now if you've been hearing me say, I'm not allowed to tell you, I don't know if we're allowed to tell you, we can tell you I signed a contract. I don't I don't I don't know if there's a link out yet, but I'm sure there is. So just look at like, P.O.T. London from Balanced Body, and you'll find it. All right, oh my gosh, okay, should we let's get to this audience question, and we got to get to this amazing recap episode.Brad Crowell 18:34 All right, so the audience question this week was from @audreyphipps1726, on YouTube. She, this is for the Pilates equipment for beginners video. She said, hey, what size is that Try Me Stability Ball. I would love to find one. Lesley Logan 18:50 Yeah, so the triad ball that's.Brad Crowell 18:53 I was wondering. Lesley Logan 18:54 Audrey, it took me a second. I was like, try me. I'd have to Google this, because sometimes people go, hey, what do you think of this item? And I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about, but I realize it's my accent. It's the triad ball, and I don't actually know the dimensions. It's a purple ball that you don't want to fill all the way up. It's smaller than a I guess it'd be like, volleyball size when it's filled up, but you want it to be a little squishy. And where did I get it. I think I went on Balanced Body. Let's see.Brad Crowell 19:24 The OPTP triad ball nine and a half inches. Lesley Logan 19:27 Is it purple? Brad Crowell 19:28 Um, yeah, it's purple. Lesley Logan 19:30 Yeah, the OPTP. Brad Crowell 19:32 Yeah. OPTP triad ball nine and a half inches. Lesley Logan 19:35 You can get it at like, Target. Brad Crowell 19:37 Yeah, even at Walmart.

And I love getting your wins, because I love helping people see like there's a celebration in everything.

So you got to have a place where you know it's going to be some good news, and you might hear your win on a day you need to remind yourself that you had a fucking win.Brad Crowell 20:17 Yeah, that's true. Yeah, you are 100% right. Well, stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 20:23 Okay, welcome back. Let's talk about Dr. Jen Fraboni. Dr. Jen Fraboni, also known as Doc Jen Fit, is a physical therapist passionate about helping people move more with less pain and more confidence. She is the founder of Jen.Health, a platform and app designed to make strength, mobility and recovery accessible for everyone. Alongside her husband, she cohosts The Optimal Body Podcast. Her work has also been featured nationally, including on Good Morning America and NBC, where she shared simple strategies to ease back pain during the pandemic. So we well, it was just a great conversation, by the way, nobody knows this, but I get to watch the the full interview call, right? And. Lesley Logan 21:06 You watch it? Brad Crowell 21:07 Yeah, watch every single one of them. That's how I do prep. Oh, I thought you just listened, nope, 100% of the time watching the interview. So the beginning of it was really fun because you were saying that, basically you were like, oh my gosh, this is how my day is gonna go today. I'm so excited to start today with this interview.Lesley Logan 21:26 Well, because, because it was a Zoom call with Jen Fraboni. And I was like, it's Jen Fraboni. And then it was then she showed up, like, Oh my God. Like, I was like, I mean, I guess I could have looked up.Brad Crowell 21:39 Doc Jen Fit. Lesley Logan 21:40 I mean, I knew I was interviewing her at some point, but I just my brain didn't like keep her, keep her last name associated with her Instagram handle, but yeah, how fun is that? I don't know, maybe the team left in the outtakes. Yeah, it was so good. Brad Crowell 21:53 Yeah. So you know what, what the two of you were digging into. I thought it was just really great talking about paying because I I related a lot to that, especially this past year, I've actually had a lot of pain with my my foot. So anyway, you know. Lesley Logan 22:08 But well, that goes into, like, something like, what I liked that she addressed about pain was that, like, most of the time it's just an alarm. Especially if you didn't get an accident, like, and sometimes your pain is like, you're just sitting there, and all of a sudden something hurts in your body, and you're like, ah, this hurts. And I'm like, just sitting there, like, what are you talking about? So in that case, if it wasn't, like, you know, you fell down the stairs, you tripped across the street, you were in a car accident, if you have pain, it is your body going, Hey, hi. You're not taking good care of me, right? It's like, just trying to get your attention. And I just like, if we think of that as what it is, as opposed to, I have to stop doing everything that was associated with that, because this is what happens, right? People come to Pilates once a week. The goal is three to four times. Week four is better. That's the goal, right? But I have someone who'll come once a week, and they go, they'll see me the next week. Oh, last last week. My back hurt, so we need to be conscious of that. And it's like so there are six other days, plus the 23 hours of the day. I didn't see you. What did you do? How are you taking care of yourself? I'm not saying the Pilates doesn't didn't hurt you. What I am saying is more likely than not, it wasn't the Pilates, but the Pilates is the unique thing about your day, right? So it's, it's similar to, I have some stomach digestive issues, and I would go, Oh, I think I got gluten, or I must have had some dairy. When I found out that I'm also allergic to oats. And every fucking day I was having oat milk, right?. And I wasn't associating, like, any of the other boring food I was having all of the time, I was coming up with, like, this unique thing that could have happened, so I really like that.Brad Crowell 23:53 We were just with our friend, and the next day he was like, I think I got glutened yesterday. It must have been that meal that we ate, you know? And I said, you know, I'm I'm also not feeling 100% and then I thought about the restaurant, which is we've eaten at 100 times. And I was like, what did we do differently? And he had the spiciest Margarita I think I've ever tasted, and I was loading on the hot sauce. I was like, You know what, man, I wonder. I mean, look, it's possible that you got glutened but they were, they specifically came out and told us that they made this gluten free. So I'd be surprised. Maybe there was some leftover, something (inadible) but also, like, the two of us ate something that was pretty off the path. I like to eat spicy stuff, but, like, we ate a lot of it.Lesley Logan 24:39 His his his Margarita was almost undrinkable. Lesley Logan 24:42 It was crazy. You diluted it twice.Lesley Logan 24:44 And you know, I like a spicy mar I was like, I I think that was gonna provide a colonic, to be completely honest, anyways. But I just think, like, she gave some really great stuff, like she talked about her own personal experience, like she's got some back pain, and she's like, Oh, I've been sleeping less, I'm breastfeeding, I'm sitting more, and I'm not moving my body. So what can I do to be more conscious about the things that I need to give myself?Brad Crowell 25:06 Yeah, I think, I think, with the, with the the idea that people coming into class and saying, Oh, well, last week, I was in pain afterwards, you know, the what she mentioned, which I thought was really obvious but needed to be heard. She said, you know, if you're in the gym lifting and you like, tweak your back, obviously you're going to say, well, I shouldn't do that again. No, no problem, of course. But that was probably not that was the moment that things were stressed to the point of ouch. But that wasn't the only moment. There are definitely other things leading up to that exact moment of when, when your body is, like, we're done trying to hold it together here, now you're in pain. And she said, so, so there's other movements that you're probably doing in your life that are, it's cumulative, right? It's, it's, it's adding up over time, and then bam, maybe the moment that it happened was in a class when you're probably doing something particular that you wouldn't be normally doing, like doing a headstand, or whatever it might be, you know, being on one leg, you know, the, the, but, that's probably not where it started. Lesley Logan 26:16 I think we could all agree in this moment where we're not in pain, right? I hurt my knee doing a deadlift. When I hired my trainer, I said, Yeah, I've been dead lifting a lot lighter because it doesn't bother my knee. But the actual thing that's bothering my knee is the fact that I had weak inner thighs and hamstrings compared to my quads, and then the way my gait is on that leg, that's why my knee hurt. It just so happened that I felt the pain doing the deadlift. The deadlift is actually not the problem my form and my deadlift is not the problem. It is an in-balance and muscles on that leg. And so what can we be doing to make sure that we're taking, like, consistent care of ourselves, and then when we hear, when we feel pain, really doing some sort of creating, some sort of like, okay, hold on, what's my sleep like, what's my intake like, what's my fuel like, have I been consistent? So if you are someone who, like, doesn't work out for a week, and then goes and works out hard, like, I got to get in it, just so, you know, you're going to be in some pain afterwards because you didn't have consistency going into it. So, you know, just do some reflection before you go, oh, that's a problem.Brad Crowell 27:20 Speak about reflection, which, which is, this is pretty funny for, for if you have people coming in and saying, well, last time I did this, I hurt. Lesley Logan 27:29 Or if you are that person. Brad Crowell 27:30 Yeah or if you are that person, do you wake up and hurt like, should this? Does that mean you shouldn't sleep like? You know what I mean, the logic doesn't apply here. I just heard like. Lesley Logan 27:43 So this has nothing to do with that, but it's just my brain thing. Okay?. So this person goes, like, this, like, thing I saw. This person goes, I need to go on a vacation. And this other person goes, did you just come back from a vacation? And then it's like, you should just say, Did you have lunch yesterday? And they're like, yeah, that does that mean you need lunch today? Right? Like, yeah, like, you're if you're.Brad Crowell 28:06 Like, obviously, you're not gonna say, Well, I guess I shouldn't sleep because, because maybe you just slept on your shoulder, weird, or whatever. And also, too, it doesn't (inaudible) it also doesn't mean that your shoulder is broken or jacked up. It means you stressed it improperly for an extended period of time. Maybe you were sleeping on it weird, right? And how, like, you know, you know how that is, you know how that that feeling is. It could be your ankle or something where it takes a couple of hours for it to work itself out. And what's happening there, which I which I thought was interesting. She talks about how pain. It's a signal from the brain saying something is not 100% correct here. Something is not 100% correct here. Just a reminder. A reminder, a reminder.Lesley Logan 28:50 It's like, when you hit the button and the community goes, er, and you're like, let me hit that again, it goes, er, and you're like, I don't know why I'm expecting something different. Brad Crowell 28:58 Yeah, well, and here's how this, here's how this relates to what I loved. She said. She said, the more we don't use it, we lose it, right? You use it or lose it. You've heard that phrase a million times. But she said the thing that was that frustrates her the most is when she her clients come to her and say, the doctor told me I'm not allowed to do this anymore, right? The thing, whatever the thing is, and this is what related to me because, you know, a couple months, Well, geez, in February of this year, it's now, you know, November, I started to feel pain in my foot, in the top of my foot, it was like this pulling pain. It felt like fascia or nerves. I couldn't decide. I still can't decide. And for a long, long time, I just stopped things. I just stopped doing, you know, like, the pointing of my toe, stopped it. All the stuff that you do in yoga class, stopped it. I was like, I need some time off. Well, I gave up the time off, and it didn't fix it, right? So, then what? Then what it was the next thing we do? Started going to the chiropractor. Chiropractor couldn't figure out what's going on, right there. She's like, Hey, you're you're aligned. What are you talking about, right? So, you know, then I was like, must be these other things. So I'm starting to massage myself. I'm doing all this stuff. And then a couple, like, two months ago, I just decided, You know what, I'm just gonna get warm and I'm gonna keep using my foot. I'm just gonna keep using it. Because, you know, one of the things that she said is especially being pregnant a second time, she leaned into, you know, doing her workouts, when her body was was starting to, like, freak out, but her body was going through a major change, and she said, you know, maybe she modified the exercise, but she always felt better after doing her workout, despite being told, you know, you know, her body, you know, sending a signal. And I think, I think that we have to be careful with this. You know, same for me, I have to actually be careful with this. It's not no pain, no gain, yeah, it's not real. I don't agree with that. It's also, you know, there are, there are moments where your body is is trying to warn you on something, but you need to be able to decide for what that is and and understand, right? Is it like pain to the point of like damage, or are we talking that, that signal of warning, you know, that's like, Oh, you have to be cautious, right? Lesley Logan 31:12 Yeah. Well, it makes it so this morning, I was doing my first Pilates practice on the Reformer in three weeks. And I did not I was like, man, I got my Spine Corrector, and I was like, this not feel awesome. It didn't hurt. It just was like, right? And then I got in the Reformer, and the first overhead kind of was like, but then the second one felt better and the third one felt better. So it's not, it is no no pain, no gain. But is you, if you have a consistent practice of any kind of movement. When you start going, you know, if your body is telling you, this is not a good day or, Oh, hold on, this is opening up. I'm warming up to it. And so when I was doing tendon stretch on the Reformer, normally, I do a single leg tendon stretch. And I did tendon stretch. I did three, and I was like, I in no way feel safe, to lift a leg off. I'm gonna do four more and get off. I got to headstand. I did all the things but the actual headstand, because I have a consistent enough practice in my body, I could tell that I'm going to feel better when it's over, but I'm not pushing myself to do something it shouldn't do. And that just comes with time. It just comes with listening to your body. So, you gotta do that.Brad Crowell 32:20 Yeah, I mean, you know, she said something that I also thought was interesting, that we never, that I never thought about before. She said, clearly, the outside of our bodies change, our faces sag, or we get wrinkles, things, lalala, why would we never, why would we expect that there are no internal changes as well, right? And she was talking about, you know, joint degeneration, and, you know, all those kinds of things which are natural and they happen, you know, discs in your back, compression, all that kind of stuff. But the only way to age gracefully, despite your body deteriorating is strength. Is strong muscles, right? And so we still should be we need to be prioritizing that in our lives now so that we can be moving with ease as we age.Lesley Logan 33:11 Yeah, no, it's so and that's just it, you guys, you will never stop having to sleep enough drink, enough water and strengthen your muscles like that you're, so sorry, guaranteed in life until we no longer get to live on this beautiful planet. So, there you go.Brad Crowell 33:28 Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna dig into those Be It Action Items that we got from Dr. Jen Fit. Brad Crowell 33:35 All right, welcome back. Let's dig into these Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items. Can we take away from your conversation with Dr. Jen Fraboni? She explicitly advised against relying on passive stretching as a primary solution for pain, even though it can feel good and relaxing, she said it's better to create stability, that is the fundamental requirement for the body to feel safe. So you were talking about the off balance muscles that you had, which is why your lifting was feeling pain, because you were unstable. Your one muscles, your one set of muscles, were stronger than the other set of muscles. She said, when you create stability, it creates a sense of safety. And she recommends focusing on active stretching, isometric holds and strengthening exercises. She highlighted Pilates as a modality that is great at creating stability and teaching the body safety, especially in the initial phases of pain recovery. So yay for Pilates. That's fantastic. What about you? Go ahead, go ahead.Lesley Logan 34:37 I was gonna say, like today, we were in yoga, and my left hamstring just would not open up. And the reality is my left hip just feeling unstable. That's why we're headed to the chiropractor after this. And it's like, I cannot open up this hamstring when my pelvis is out. And so I just really like, that was such a that's such a takeaway for me. I love that Be It Action Item. So be mindful of the passive stretching, my loves. Just be mindful. I love, this is great, t only way that we start to know how to move forward is if we tune in first. So it's really, this is this kind of goes back to, like a Brad BizJack's episode, actually, and that and that, maybe he didn't say it in this episode, but he has said it in something that I've heard of him before, which is, but go listen to that episode anyways, he's like, you would never, you would never just like, go get in the car and drive somewhere without having, like, a destination in mind. Unlike most people, don't check in with how they feel before they like move their body. They just start moving their body like they're not tuning in. So before you set a goal, before you do things, you have to kind of go inward first, so that you know where you're putting your compass, where you're putting your directions, where you're moving forward to. So otherwise you're like, oh, maybe I should do if you don't tune in first, you're gonna be the person who's like, oh, the hot new thing is Jiu Jitsu, and I'm doing Jiu Jitsu, and then that new hot thing is this box thing on a trampoline, like you're not going to actually be able to look at a movement modality and go, oh, that's what my body needs. You'll just be like, going hopping from one thing to the next expecting a quick fix. So I did love that one. And then she really, she advised onto every day to take five deep, long, slow breaths, mouth closed, and focus on taking breath into the sides of your rib cage. OPC members know this. Brad Crowell 36:24 Diaphragmatic breathing. Lesley Logan 36:26 And avoid breathing into your shoulders, neck or chest. Otherwise you're gonna feel stressed. But if you take these deep breaths, you often will see that the pain starts to diminish. I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 36:35 And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 36:36 I really hope this was helpful, especially if pain is part of your daily life, it is really hard to be it till you see it in that kind of state. And so hopefully this gave you some tips, gave you some ideas, gave you some permission and share it with a friend who needs to hear it, especially one who's like this topic is like, what they're needing right now. It's, I don't know, there's just so much permission in this episode. Until next time, Be It Till You see it. Brad Crowell 36:55 Bye for now.
